Aaron's ITR!

[AccordB20A]

i has one of these now

In Exchange for doing a bit of work on his cars, My mate tim donated me the shell from the ITR we stole the gearbox from for his CRX. Basically he bought the car cheap as chips for its ITR gearbox and LSD. He took all the shit he could use/sell of the car and left me with the shell.

No keys/locks, no hubs, no swaybars, no engine, no gearbox, no carbon interior pieces, no steering wheel, no seats..... the list goes on.

What i do have is a shell with lights panels wiring dashboard and all panels. WOF till march 2012 and certed for adjustable coil-over suspension. So i thought i may rebuild this car into a bastard child dc2 with parts from a wrecked DC2 SiR etc

Heres some pics of the car as it sits now in my shed. its rough and needs some work. not impressed with the bog in the doors and black bootlid/fuel flap.

[A18A]

wow it totally looks like the RR hub is so bent that you can't even fit the factory wheel on it, or even a space saver, so it looks like you had to bolt the space saver on backwards!

[AccordB20A]

im gunna do skids on that space saver when its going(Y)

[2ndGenGuy]

First person ever to convert a Type R to 4x100.

Pretty clean shell though. Sucks that they painted the decklid black, considering the jams are white. People are idiots.

First person ever to convert a Type R to 4x100.


^ That, next thing he will do is swap in a D16z :)

[gfrg88]

D series b jdm

[AccordB20A]

i can only imagine how slow it would be with a d series. i have a b20b and vtec head to go on it later on..

[roodoo2]

amazing project Aaron, you have it wide open so you could put any crazy combination you want in that!

[AccordB20A]

moar progress tonight. ripped out old loom and put in new climate control heater boxes to replace the shitty old dial heater controls. and the OBD1 wiring loom (ITR is OBD2 which is useless to me)

dash is now sitting in place.

Hey a 4 lug ITR (4x114.3)

[scanlessfool]

This looks like it is going to be a long endeavor, but as long as you are not in a rush, I'm sure it will come out just fine.

[AccordB20A]

i cannot put another engine in without having to "re-cert" the vehicle which costs a fuckload. its gunna stay b series.

[scanlessfool]

I know that Australia has very stringent rules for any modified vehicle, but would this also be the case for New Zealand?

[AccordB20A]

i think aussie is worce. over here you can get away with mods if the car is certified as safe by a registered certifier guy that charges you 400 bucks and tells you to put in a CAT then you get a plate riveted to your engine bay that tells you what engine and suspension and wheels you MUST have to pass wof. and if you change any of those a re-cert is required. fuck that, im keeping it b series haha

[A18A]

so since it already has a cert for adjusties, wouldn't you 'legally' need teh sized wheels that the cert tag thingy says?

[AccordB20A]

cert plate will be removed. even then all it says on the cert is OE engine OE wheels and adjustable suspension. if i ever get 'justiez ill rivit it back on

[obdriver6]

Little by little will get it done!

[AccordB20A]

big update. the interior is in and i have borrowed an engine so i could drive it to auckland and pick up a new pair of doors. no more bog filled rusting door!

pics:
sir interior installed. will do for now

body is rough here and there, will require a WHITE bootlid at some stage and maybe a new bonnet as theres a ugly dent in the front of this one, both bumpers also need attention too. teks Hard boi

temporary engine, original B18CR, used about a litre of oil going to auckland and back, smokes like a bitch. cant expect too much the cars had a hard life and done 210000kms

running OBD1 with a chipped P08 and a stock crome b18cr map. Engine is mated to a open diff Y21 gearbox i got for $80 from a EG9. Had a fucked diff so i swapped another open diff in for now as i was in a hurry to get the car working. i have a ITR LSD to put into this box eventually.

got 4 new tyres going on the dc2 wheels this saturday!
awesome. Next step: B20VTEC...........

[obdriver6]

It looks a lot better than what it used to. The hood doesn't look too bad and I'm sure it can be fixed but the trunk definitely need to be white. Damn! a liter of oil is a lot but at least you have VTAKKK!........umh, what with the "teg" in the bumper?

[AccordB20A]

some idiot bogged the rest of the word integra so it said teg. it fails. needs new bumpers anyway but thats alright.

today i pulled the smokey fuked b18Cr motor out
now you see it

[AccordB20A]

got the b20b block on the engine stand now, removed the sump and cleaned all the filthy oil out of there.

i fitted the water pump and tensioner and cambelt cam covers and crank pulley.

The head is also at a workshop getting the new dowel pin holes drilled and the npt 3/8" fitting tapped in the head for the VTEC oil line

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Integra%20Type%20R%20REbuilD/P1140037.jpg

more pics when i get the head back

[AccordB20A]

took off the sump and gave it a mighty clean, the oil looks like its only been changed 5 times in this engines life!

put the sump on and used lots of gasket maker shit to ensure i get no leaks on my garage floor

also installed the alternator

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Integra%20Type%20R%20REbuilD/P1170008.jpg

and now we are waiting on the head. apparently its hard to find a 14mm drill bit and a 3/8" NPT tap for the VTEC oil line! fucker

the engine started quick and idled MINT! only problem is someone chopped off the VSS sensor plug on my engine loom so the speedo doesnt work and the vtacks doesnt work either :(

ill fix that tonight!

[Hazwan]

Nice HUILE/710 cap (Y)

[obdriver6]

Nice!!!!.....What, no VTAKKK!?!?!?!

[Legend_master]

Dise your making me look bad, that car is coming together with a quickness!

[AccordB20A]

fixed the vtec tonight. solenoid filter was blocked up as well as the VSS plug cut off. I soldered it back on. Im still running the ITR tune on my OBD1 ecu so the motor doesnt run the best, Off-VTEC its fine, good torque/mid range but as soon as it come on vtec at 5800rpm it falls on its face for a bit until around 6800rpm it starts taking off and pulls all the way to 8k (at least)

i wont take it over 8k

[AccordB20A]

I located a crome tune on the interwebs and chucked it on my ecu and customised a few things, rev limiter 8200rpm, VTEC at 4800RPM etc etc

It now runs FuCKING PRIMO. heres a vid, cant see much but u get the picture

[AccordB20A]

well the temporary engine has reached the end of its life, its knocking loudy these days and its about to blow up. Next engine please :)

[MessyHonda]

well the temporary engine has reached the end of its life, its knocking loudy these days and its about to blow up. Next engine please :)

engine blow up...not good. whats next?

[AccordB20A]

another b20b block, this time ill install the arp trod bolts and plain the head and block so nothing can go wrong

[AccordB20A]

Well it lasted a month but after a little spirited driving the other day the knocking started getting louder and louder. i had 40kms till i was home so i was taking it easy hoping to get it home in one piece so my B16 head wouldnt get fucked by piston(s) smashing into it.
5km from home the engine wouldnt idle but i made it another 3km before i got on my home straight turned the engine off and coasted the remining 2kms in my gate down the drive and into the shed. Before i turned the motor of it was clatring and banging and squeeking like it was about to give out.

long story short the engines out and im picking up a b18C+b16 head this weekend and that will be enough for now. i have no money at the moment to rebuilt a b20b block.

[AccordB20A]

no pics yet, but i got the b18c motor. got it for a few hours work. its a POS. leaks oil and ii cant hear it vtec (vtec does work but quietly)

i stuck in it and im gunna use it temporarely till i build a decent b20vtax

[A18A]

have you ever had a motor that's not temporary? lol

[AccordB20A]

the one in my accord nows pretty permanent. as gay as it is

[AccordB20A]

Imported a 1998 spec rear swaybar from japan since you cannot find them locally. Put it on today and fuck it drives good! going from 13mm to 23mm makes a big difference in the corners, it feels so stable now.

does it wof

[AccordB20A]

its going for its WOF this week cause im planing on going to auckland to pick up a new white bootlid for it

[Rendon LX-i]

Woopsi lol

[AccordB20A]

failed wof on bumper mounting (has a crack and they are concerned it will fall off) Also exhuast hs a leak in the header pipes somwhere so ill need them welded up and failed on rear brake pads. at least i dont need to swap in a power steering rack now :)

also i forgot to add i found soon after i installed my B18C it was an autyomatic b16a head on the B18C block so thats why i couldnt hear vtec. i put the manual cams out of my b20vtec in now its loud as and pulls much better. the oil leaks have slowed down now its got good new oil in it and its reliable as. Only bad noises its making id from the fucked LMA's in the head.
