Theres only really a handful of models we get over here that the popular engines come out of, on the b series the popular ones are b16a, b16a2, b16b (type-r) b18c4 b18c6 (type-r)

Honda B

I'm not that clued up on d series, there seems to be alot of different popular models

Honda D

The d series has alot more choice of standard final drives compared with the b series, power is alot more useable in the d and can easily be tuned up without going too silly, so don't worry if its the sohc or dohc, both have pros and cons

[johny:)]

i think its defo going to be a b as it got tec the d series are very good engines my frined got a d 14 civic no tec and it pulls like hell is a very torquey motor

Not much to update, been waiting for stuff to come through, got a honda prelude breather plug so I can route a hose to a catch can from the block, didn't have a 14mm allen key lying around here to remove the original freeze plug but did have a 14/17mm sump plug handy......and a 17mm socket



Just the one on the driver side



Finally got some some caravan plugs arrive for the front end and some colour coded wiring so I can relocate my standard mini fusebox inside the cabin somewhere as theres no room for it on the bulkhead! just want to generally tidy the loom up aswell



I'm actually eager to get on with the wiring which is rare for me, I might make a start on the wiring tomorrow after work seeing as I'm working over new years eve so won't be in the mood to hit the sack when I get back.........so you lot enjoy yourselves eh and spare a thought while your downing another one......

I'll reply on your topic as it'll make more sense there

[borishbeggy]

Just spent the last few days reading your thread one of the best I've seen for detail ! Thanks for taking the time to do it.
Absolutely love your project it's mental.
Best of luck finishing it.

[Kam]

Thanks for taking the time and the kind words mate, is appreciated if it helps just one person in any way whatsoever then my job on earth is done!

Not much to update while I'm here, the guys have welded on the mini gearstick onto the honda one so thats ready for collection, could've done it myself but they got neater welds than me! that now means I can keep using the standard 4 speed gearknob - go four speed!

I'm still doing the wiring bit by bit so will carry on with that at my own pace

[Nick Warwick]

So when you got bored of this engine.......................... let me know it would be nice in my coupe

How long do you think you are off being finished now then mate?

[Kam]

The main biggie deadline is it has to be done for Le Mans in june, no ifs or buts with that one, thats the deadline!

Would be nice to take it to brooklands in march but can't see that myself, worth a try though

Sorry mate, I haven't been working on it atall, I'm doing the unspeakable and letting my mind get distracted towards something else at the moment
