copied this from hondaswap, figured id share it with you guys. well this is something ive been doing since the summer. i initially bought the head unported and planned to just slap it on with some new pistons for a mild build but it has turned into so much more. i want to race honda challenege one day so i decided to build this car/engine to HC specs. im also planning to make an adapter plate to be able to use the ITR intake manifold on the gsr head. ill make another thread about that though.
build consists of:
GSR block and all new seals/gaskets from honda
JDM ITR pistons and rods with ARP rod bolts
GSR head ported by portflow, all new seals, portflow valvetrain
skunk2 stage 2 cams
ACL bearings
ARP headstuds
RC 320cc injectors
will be tuned by me with Crome Pro
im trying to make about 200-210whp on a 1.8L OEM parts bottom end
Nov. 4th
head comes back from portflow
Nov. 5-6th
install sensors back to the head
install extended intake manifold studs
drill/tap water neck (1/8" NPT) for water temp sender
these first 2 pics are especially for B16
ill update as things progress...
Dec. 11th
k well im bringing this back up just to keep some interest. build is temporarily on hold til spring since i couldnt get anyone who was able to help me out. as i didnt/dont have a garage or reasonable place to build an engine or pull a motor.
guess ill just give some teaser pics of the parts, lol.
JDM ITR pistons/rods with ARP bolts properly installed/stretched and rods resized
as i said before, ill mostlikely replace the pistons. after i got them back from the machine shop i noticed some play in them, and i just get a bad feeling. that on top of a few gouge marks in them, i dont wanna chance it. it would suck for the motor to go because of something like pistons...
misc head parts, skunk2 stg2 cams, hondata IM gasket, and valve cover. painted by wil, and will be stripped and repainted by me
ill probably go with just a simple krinkle black.
honda stuff, head gasket, main seals, other misc seals, new oil pan pickup (mines a little dented from the pan being dented), ACL bearings, ARP head studs, rc 320cc injectors, injector resistor box, gauges w/ senders, GE oil sandwitch (for oil pressure and temp), "magic" intake
h34r:
better pic of gauges
more pics of "magic" IB spec intake w/ filter
that will be on a short ram setup. and ill be using these to relocate the battery to the frame rail right in front of the tranny so it wont be in the way of the filter
but i wont be using the odyssey battery, ill be using the nrg-cell from heel-toe
well thats all i really have for now, lol. ive also got an endyn catch can that i dont have pics of.

ok more updates
i decided to get new pistons. theres nothing really wrong with the ones i have, but i like to plan ahead for any problems that may arise. so i went with some brand spanking new JDM ITR OS pistons. i went oversized cause im just gonna overbore the block anyway to have a nice solid cylinder wall surface. this should take care of any imperfections the cylinders might have be it scratches or out of roundness. and the price was right so i also picked up an AASCO alluminum flywheel. features parallelism to .001", 8-9lbs, and a replaceable friction surface. info on the flywheel here http://estores.merchantpartners.com/pn280/...&products_id=39
