AccordB20A's EG Civic Build

[carotman]

Good work.

Don't you hate that trans oil smell too? :D

[AccordB20A]

yes gearbox oil smell bad. haha
turns out the so called good box with a fucked diff also had a completely fucked countershaft bearing, So i ended up using the original s4c bellhousing from the crashed orthia, and built a good gear set with parts from both boxes and slammed it all together last night

shitty quality pics:

it seems to work,tosday ill stuck it in the car, if it fucks out againill pull it out and stick back in the dc integra box that has loud bearings, at least its reliableish

[AccordB20A]

box is in the car, drives sweet, no bad noises but the gear stick is a little hard to change, im going to do a big fat skid in it later and if the tyres blow before the gearbox ill be happy with my job :)

edit: box fucked out, driving down the road at the top of 2nd gear it lost drive. ill just stick the other box in it i thinks

[AccordB20A]

the tow home haha

nothing wrong under the bonnet, so somethings fucked itself internally

Im going to stick in that original box later, at least i know it works

[AccordB20A]

so the clutch is fucked!!, the pressure plate and flywhel seem fine. looks like i have to spend actual money now to get this car working again....

[forrest89sei]

Well thats a Awesome Clutch!

Damn your Vtak and such

[A18A]

hahahah shit thats funny. that sucks too

[AccordB20A]

[forrest89sei]

new second hand clutch plate received, will install tonight

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Civic/newandoldclutch.jpg

Which one is the new one?



Nah looks alot better

[AccordB20A]

funny, the new clutch i got is the same brand as the one that blew up haha

[AccordB20A]

right clutch is in and the old gearbox is back on. i think the reason for that clutch fucking out was the input shaft spline, it had a dent in it from something hitting it (probably when i got it) the clutch plate did not slide on it like it should, i reckon thats what made the clutch fuck out, but all good ill tear the gearbox apart again replace the input shaft and we will be sweet (Y)

[AccordB20A]

right took the civic on a 700km round trip to pick up some shit, including this here engine block i removed from a vehicle at pick a part. costed $100

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Civic/DSCF2852.jpg

and a y21 gearbox i got from a mate with a rooted diff that i plan on replacing with a factory type r item

[AccordB20A]

the civic's warrant of fitness and rego runs out tomorrow, so i wont be able to drive it on the road until i fix it up. Ive decided to put it in the shed and modify it and get my grey accord legal and drive that.

time to build a fast civic me thinks

[2ndGenGuy]

That's quite the fucking fiasco with the clutch... new parts FTW.

[Tdurr]

dang and i thought i had clutch problems before hahaha.

gl wit the fast civic stuff bro

[AccordB20A]

im undecided whether i should build this b20b vtec motor first or rebuild my grey accords b20a motor.

[MessyHonda]

im undecided whether i should build this b20b vtec motor first or rebuild my grey accords b20a motor.

b20a before the parts run out

you can always build a b20b at any time :thumbup:

[AccordB20A]

i have all the parts i just need to pay someone to do it, and since the accord is my daily and the b18a/efi in it isnt the most sound engine id like something reliable

[AccordB20A]

right i went totally against what i said i was going to do and bought some more shit for the civic.

i have on the way a b16a2 head and intake, and a LS/VTEC/B20VTEC oil line kit, pics when said parts arrive

[Tdurr]

lol we all do it bro

[A18A]

why does teh b20vtec have to go in the civic :P

[AccordB20A]

because it wont fit in the other cars

[AccordB20A]

DOHC VTEC conversion parts :O

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Civic/b16head.jpg

complete B16A2 head $250 in mint condition.

[AccordB20A]

because the B20B block doesnt have the the oil port to supply the vtec solenid with oil pressure you have to supply oil to the head with an oil line, this kit takes oil from a sandwich plate on the oil filter and feeds it to the head (and anything else that needs oil pressure)

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Civic/vtecoillinekit.jpg

$108NZD shipped

[Rendon LX-i]

Nice. When you slapping that in?

[AccordB20A]

when the engine is built. after im done with the accords b20a engine

[AccordB20A]

i pulled the loom out of this car and cut it up for the CRX, i bought a eg4 vti vtec loom to replace it with for $80. Im hoping i wont have too many issues connecting it up.

I moved this car into another shed today where it will sit for ages until i have the parts to build it. i bought a Type R LSD for it but it wont fit my Y21 or y59 or S4C gearboxes i have. SOoo i sold one of my b series boxes and im buying a Y80 gearbox ring gear and countershaft, with these i can bolt the ITR Helical LSD into my y21 B16A2 EG6/9 SiR Gearbox

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Civic/ITRLSD.jpg


No other news to report.

[A18A]

choice az ae bro

[MessyHonda]

i thought the y21 and y80 are similar transmissions

[AccordB20A]

they are the same internally, But the PCD of the diff and its ring gear are different on b18c motors which is why i need. i cant bolt the y21 b16a2 diff to the type r LSD, the ring-gear doesnt even fit over it

i dunno how hydro viscous LSD's fit into earlier cable boxes as they have like 15 bolts and you cant swap the ring gears at all to match say a a20a gearbox

[Tdurr]

Noicee

[AccordB20A]

THIS is coming out for some work!!

Mate bought a ITR box to put into a YS1 cable casing for his B18C Type R Powered Gen 1 CRX.

Ill be installing the box into my civic to test it to make sure its in good condition before i swap the internals over. so its time to get the car to work.

The first thing ill be doing is the wiring loom, i cut up the civics wiring loom for to use in the civic so now i have to pretty much swap a new loom into this car. i bought one from a EG4 VTI so it has wires for VTEC etc etc

[MessyHonda]

ys1 and jdm ITR have the same gears besides the final and LSD

[AccordB20A]

the wiring loom is now in this car, add petrol and it SHOULD start...

[AccordB20A]

just bought some B20B ARP rod bolts $100NZD shipped. yay

[AccordB20A]

big change of plans here. this car is going to be my gfs daily driver now. Im keeping the B18B motor in it and converting it to automatic for her to carry the baby around in when im at work. The car will have EVERYTHING removed so it will be on stock shocks and springs and probably steel 13" wheels again.

This has been sitting in the shed for the last 6 or so months so i moved it today and stuck the stock front shocks in.

Have a DC2 parts car to get the auto parts out of on the way so more pics next time.

Im still building the B20VTEC but it is going in something else................................

[A18A]

what happening to the crx

[AccordB20A]

CRX is my car that i drive to work in (Y)

[AccordB20A]

haha its automatic now!!

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Civic/PB200001.jpg
http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv240/accordb20a/Civic/PB200002.jpg

all i need to do to make it driveable is weld the gearbox frame rail mount on and find some auto box solenoids so the gearbox will actually change gear!

[AccordB20A]

right swapped the gearbox again today with an auto that actually works.

Next step: WOF safety check.. sometime

[obdriver6]

Why not manual?

[AccordB20A]

my gf cannot drive a manual so i converted it to auto

[obdriver6]

^^ Teach her!

[AccordB20A]

when she has her full licence yep

[kentwat]

Wow dude you are a get ur done man. Great thread I just read 12 pages. Did you get the wof? I'd imagine so. I said in the other post my sons is an ej it is most likely an eg a 2 door coupe with a d16 automatic.

[AccordB20A]

this car is sold now. gave up on it and sold it cheap and bought the GF an accord (Y)
