so far I have done 300miles and i still have quarter tank left(Ls 5th helps alot)

I would like to tank Roger aka pico because he helped me find parts for my build

[Edison Carasio]

Very nice. What axles do you have to use? Custom or off the shelf?

[mykwikcoupe]

is that the stock power steering pump? Why is the high pressure hose running across the drivers side? Id like to know how hard that is

[Dr_Snooz]

Nice! That's a sweet build there sir!

[87roach]

Awesome build man, you have been very busy behind the scenes eh?

Congrats on getting it in and running, and also still some summer to enjoy it in :D

[Hazwan]

VEEEETECHHHH!

Vids of it running sir.

[obdriver6]

You got to love the vtec, nice build.

[stat1K]

you know jesse, vids or it's all photoshop... :)

[2ndGenGuy]

Nice work man! Glad the MessyMobile is still alive. :)

[87roach]

So any detail's on the build? Problems? etc.

[oldschool3g]

:bow:yo man your helpin me with my b series swap:) so plan a trip to south cali soon lol. always loved your car man glad its finally gonna get driven again:rockon:

[AccordB20A]

good to see someone with a working b series swap finally haha

[Legend_master]

After all these years of b-swap trash talking, now you have one. Congratulation!

[gfrg88]

Wow, you've been really putting in work behind the scenes!!! Wish I could say the same.. Work is killing me, and I've gotta move places too.


Vids or didn't happen!!!!! :D

[MessyHonda]

is that the stock power steering pump? Why is the high pressure hose running across the drivers side? Id like to know how hard that is
not hard at all. I used a 95 gsr ps line and just rebend the metal hose to the pump.


So any detail's on the build? Problems? etc.
no its easy if you know what you are doing

After all these years of b-swap trash talking, now you have one. Congratulation!
thank you sir. I had the choice of buying a 98 ITR for 5k or spending it on the 3gee. I hope I made the right choice


Wow, you've been really putting in work behind the scenes!!! Wish I could say the same.. Work is killing me, and I've gotta move places too.


Vids or didn't happen!!!!! :D

Outstanding car!

[AccordB20A]

[Rendon LX-i]

fucking sweet. Well people give up on cars but only the few the proud the Og's stick around lol

[MessyHonda]

I started school and i been daily driving the car. the clutch is too stiff for me. im going to go with a excedy stage 1 clutch with a ACT 12 pound flywheel. transmission is great for these car. pulls hard and now that its tuned I been racing with gti's and 3 series bmws. pics and vids soon as i get a new phone

[Rendon LX-i]

nice. do you have it adjusted right. Shouldnt be to stiff.

[Rendon LX-i]

[Rendon LX-i]

Wot pulls? Haha very nice bro.

[AccordB20A]

SLOW!!!! nah im just used to how fast my CRX bangs through its gears. good job man

[gfrg88]

crx is also a shit box..err tin box.. doesn't weight anything...

[AccordB20A]

thats what i meant, its engine is by no means powerfull

[gfrg88]

I really want a crx with a J swap in it. That much power, stock, on a little box sounds fun :)

[mikekaos]

sweet cant wait to post mine

[MessyHonda]

update. car just turned 176k. I replaced the clutch because the one i had was for a hydro trans and the pedal was too stiff for daily driving. Now i have ACT street light flywheel and a stage 1 excedy clutch. its much smoother to drive and it feels faster. will post more vids after i work on my vss

[ShyBoyCA6]

Hey messy, are you using a 2.0 rad or a 1.8? i didn't see it in your list..

[89jdmaccord]

Wot pulls? Haha very nice bro.

x2 time to hear the vtakkkk!!!!!! scream haha :kekeke: , but seriously some pull vids would be nice :bandit: :deal:

[Maybach310]

Very nice. What axles do you have to use? Custom or off the shelf?

[MessyHonda]

Hey messy, are you using a 2.0 rad or a 1.8? i didn't see it in your list..

stock koyo radiator. i did have to remove the ac fan because the exhaust manifold would be too close to it.


for axels i used stock hydro gsr but the passanger side is too tight. im going to replace it with a 1st gen integra. just did the research on rock auto the hydro axel is 23 1/2 inches and on the 1st gen is 23 1/6in

[ShyBoyCA6]

so then you dont have ac? ever thought of putting a thin fan?

[Maybach310]

wich shift linkage did u use

[MessyHonda]

stock with a b series transmission end welded to the shift rod

[Fushi]

Nice and clean !
Love the swap !
Can't wait to see some pull vids. Great job !

[poncho-lx]

great job more horsepower and torque :D

[Honda Man]

Dam the swap looks perfect like the engine was ment to be in there. I give you mad props man hella clean. I would love to see it in person

[Julio@Bisimoto]

nice little setup. Just need to do a few good bolt ons and go have some fun!

[hondalude86]

Dude, thats great power! mucho kudos to you! the b18c1 is a freak motor if you ask me! So much torque for a b-series! you missing your coupe yet? I still need to get it tuned, among everything else in my fleet! It is nice to have a car that isn't always broken down!

[hondalude86]

Jessie, the cars lookin great! That original paint? If so, wow

[gfrg88]

Looks good. Needs boost :D

[obdriver6]

Clean as always!... What needs to be finished?

[MessyHonda]

looking good. what engine? i forget
b18c1. stock with skunk 2 intake and tune. so it was about 159whp.


Jessie, the cars lookin great! That original paint? If so, wow
I wish the back side was as shiny but the California sun has eaten the clear coat on the roof and trunk lid. It needs a new paint job


Looks good. Needs boost :D

that was my plan but the way gas prices look she is going to stay NA for a very long time.


Clean as always!... What needs to be finished?

clean out the engine bay(wire tuck) finish the OBD1 swap because i have not done VSS and O2 sensors. so check engine light always comes on when slowing down

You can still get 30+mpg with turbo. I got close to 28mpg on E85 and boost :)

nice. funny thing you told me it BLEW. ass hole. lol

If you read my april 13 post i had to fix the injector because it was stuck open. It was running pig rich and making it look like my headgasket went out. Now I only have 1 job and no more GF so i will have time on the weekends to work on it some more. I put 100 miles the first day. its easy to drive when you are having fun in a 3gee. I want to install a resonator because its too loud for my taste now

[obdriver6]

I put 100 miles the first day. its easy to drive when you have VTAK in a 3gee.
Fixed! lol

[MessyHonda]

^thank you... well i wanted to build an engine for the car but the gsr engine is strong so im going to take my time with that.

Hey Messy, I own a 89 coupe lxi.

She's got her issues but the body is great, no rot underneath and just a quarter sized patch on the wheel well.

I'm getting a better job and will now have a lot of extra money to do what I always wanted to do which was supe my accord up. Basically I'm asking how much of a hassle is it finding the b18c1 parts and swapping out my automatic tranny for the gs-r manual do you think? I'm looking to spend somewhere around 2 grand on finishing off my accord, maybe more if I can justify the price haha

[gfrg88]

If you do all the work your self, 2g might be enough..

[obdriver6]

Nothing better than a tune up to keep it going...... What happened to your lip?

you will be stretching it because just the mounts are 400 bucks. but 2k would be a start.

yeah thanks. my buddy invited me to
http://gripdriftskid.com/ so i just want to upgrade the header and get a straight pipe and retune. im sure i can do at least 165whp

my lip got stuck at my co workers driveway! it was 2am after going out so i had to cut it off :( im going to see if i install my new bumper and install another one

added purigen so now im running like 98% nitrogen in my tires. let me tell you now the car handles and stops much better. Its also smoother and has better acceleration. Im convinced that nitrogen also improves with gas mileage.

My road trip back in Jan to LA I did an avg of 26-27mpg going about 85-90mph. On my most recent road trip to LA again It did 29mpg and this time I was racing a BMW e36 328Is(he could not pull on me and I was pulling on him). I hit 130mph a few times and I did avg speed of 95-100mph on hwy 5. almost 350miles to the tank with my pedal to the floor.

nice day in san mateo

[AccordB20A]

Sounds like fun. good thing about vtec engines. good power yet good on fuel

[hondalude86]

Damn Messy, Just looking at the pictures and everything is awesome!! I'm thinking about doing even more (lol, seen my facebook?) motor moving around and I'm thinking I may move the b16b into the Coupe and keep it as a smooth DD. Just need mounts (since cutting out my old mounts from the white lude probably isn't going to net kind results) and start working with the car... I guess wiring wise I'm just going to need a Dizzy adapter, 02 wiring, vss wiring, and vtec wiring!

[MessyHonda]

I need to update this thread. the car has been running great. Going to get it ready for JCCS 2013 in long beach this year. 1989 Honda accord bswap gsr dyno - YouTube (http://youtu.be/r0JdYM6Kmhc) here is a video of my current dyno

[AccordB20A]

sounds good! any improvement on power or still the same ?

[matney]

That is s nice accord messy nice b series swap that was my first step was to go gsr but I went ls v but u got yourself a beast right there.....where did u get ur gauges

[Tdurr]

I want ur duck bill

[MessyHonda]

Since my other car was totaled its time to spend time and money on the 3gee.

ever since I did the timing belt the thermostat that I bought was not very good(napa auto parts) it would overheat at stop lights and then after driving it would go back to normal temp. I bought an OEM one but I was wanting to upgrade my cooling system so I bought the Mishimoto racing thermostat. I also flushed my cooling system. now the car is running better and it has a good idle and bottom end.

Ever since last years JCCS on my way back i picked up a nail on my rear tire so i had mis-matching tire sizes in the back. Now i was doing my research and the Yokoyamas S Drive had good reviews. so i picked up 2 new rear ones. Front tires are at 60% so i will pick some up when i have to rotate them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Messybone/LX-i/null_zps0f4017f6.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Messybone/media/LX-i/null_zps0f4017f6.jpg.html)

final numbers. very impressive for just bolt ups. I have fully functioning power steering too. im happy with the motor and the way it pulls. my low end torque is much better and it pulls alot harder in all the power brand.

[Tdurr]

Hell yea. I love to see you still working on the 3g. That's a pretty big notch the crossmember if I do say so myself. But any more plans while its ur dd?

lol. yeah its strong as it but i cant wait till Chedda makes us some traction bars. On the Dyno i can see my wheel move a bit even with the poly bushings. My plans is to finally finish my suspension. i want to get my rear konis rebuilt since they are leaking. maybe upgrade to some ground controls. my radiator needs replacing but i would like to have a full size radiator. trying to see if the CRX or the DA radiator will fit

[bullard123]

I need a new thermostat myself. My car is having the same symptoms yours was having. How much did the Mishimoto thermostat run you?

[AccordB20A]

A good quality / genuine thermostat is a must i have found. aftermarket ones are rubbish and i have the proof haha

x2. That's true Aaron. Do you know who makes the OEM thermostat for these cars?

[AccordB20A]

NTC i think they are branded

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Jesse.. found your thread haha. That isnt too bad of a notch in the crossmember .. pretty good numbers too.
If you want a full size rad, I have been really happy with my mishimoto rad for the crx full size. The bottom rad mounts needed to be relocated and then the rad has places to bolt through the sides to the rad support. Overall it fits really well and I never have any issues with coolant temps.

[Tdurr]

Only 200k? :p

[MessyHonda]

200k on the chasis. now its around 200,300. Motor has 112k.

few updates.

I ordered a brand new wiring harness and going to tuck the fuse box and have a quick disconect plug. (should clean up the bay)

I need a new radiator. my 8 year old Koyo has started to leak around the endtanks(plastic).
Going to order a traction bar from Chedda.

[Lordemel]

Nice! Are you getting a harness off of rywire?

[MessyHonda]

Nice! Are you getting a harness off of rywire?

No they were assholes. not willing to help me out so he will not get my hard earned money. I went with Cj wiring and he was willing to help us.

[89T]

Rewire is a joke any more.

[MessyHonda]

Rywire forgot where he started. Local tuners trying to do swaps and making a wiring harness that will work.

Carlos was willing to help and his products are hand made order by order. He was willing to help make OBD1 swap harness. wish i would of connected with him a few years back.


Update:
Front fenders were rolled and front was lowered by 5 spins. Front tires tuck and the ride quality is still amazing.

[MessyHonda]

I moved to a new place in July and got internet installed about a month ago. I like my new place its a in law unit in the back of the main house right next to a 2 car garage. I had to clean up the garage to even get my car to fit. Today was my tune up day. Replaced the oil, tire rotation, new cam seal, valve cover gasket, vtec solenoid and low profile washers. I had them since April and just collecting dust. ok enough talking and now for pictures.
Here is the plain and boring engine bay. Its a daily driver so keeping it clean has fell sideways.

Nice tune up man! Glad you got that VC painted too because it was looking pretty haggard.

What will the Skunk solenoid do?

[MessyHonda]

The skunk2 Solenoid is just billet and it cleans up the engine bay a bit. Wanted to replace the oil seal and vtec screen. Engine feels alot smoother but it needs more power now.

[2ndGenGuy]

Huge improvement! Keep up the good work.

Thanks Josh. I remember when I joined I looked up to you guys. Im planing on picking up Hondata S300 with the coil on plug set up but I first need to install my wiring harness.

I also picked up a new half size radiator. Its time for me to start getting it ready for a turbo set up.

[Rendon LX-i]

Very True jessy. You can get the what i got for only 350 an plugs to your stock ecu. idk i cant see my self forking out 1000 bucks for a ecu an other 500 for the coil on plug add on. you get the same results plus B series use Honda fit coils perfectly. Which is what im using which im sure you know that.

To make it little bit cleaner i just added the cover. Took me couple hrs to run the harness (pre made) to ecu an tap a few wires an wala done. hondarulez sells it complete kit with coils for 350. oem coils as well. I think its a steal.

anyway dont want to jack your thread just giving you other option .

[MessyHonda]

looks very clean and a good deal. Im going to turbo so this is why I want to go with Hondata. I should just pick it up to run NA for now but i still need to stall some of my bolt on. I need to install my 70mm skunk2 TB and going to upgrade to 3 inch exhaust. I first need to pick up a daily because I use my car every day so i can only do day or weekend projects. Richard and I are working on getting a Traction bar with one of his boy that works at a welding shop.

[Rendon LX-i]

Gotcha. I mean its a steal in my book love how i just crank it an fires right up even on a super cold day

Update: 09/10/2016

Hey guys,

I've been busy with work and life. The accord clutch cable decided to snap in June. They had it in stock at the part store and I replaced it in the parking lot. In July I moved back to San Mateo and now i'm putting more miles on it. Raced a automatic G35 with intake and exhaust and I smoked it. After getting off the freeway I noticed that my car would not go in gear. I would have to turn it off and start in gear. I had a Stage 4 clutch since last year so all I had to do is pick up a aluminum flywheel to install. I also installed my MFactory LSD with new carbon synchros and bearings. It shifts very smooth and now its a bit firm on gears. The clutch is a bit heavy but its ok as long as I'm not in traffic. I have put 500 miles since the LSD install and its so werid that in turns the car just wants to turn and its nice to have power in both wheels. I have already pushed my car around the twisties and I ended up 180*. Now I know I need a traction bar since my accord one keeps on breaking. Its the 3rd time in the last 2 years. I will keep you guys updated with more since I will be taking it to JCCS 2016.

[Shane86]

I love this build. Keep up the good work. You'll get everything right soon

I see you got your half size radiator inn looks good .looks like you didn't have to modify anything

[AccordB20A]

thats such awesome progress. Im still pretty jealous even if i do have a worked b20a myself. not as many cool parts

[MessyHonda]

I see you got your half size radiator inn looks good .looks like you didn't have to modify anything

Thats what I want you to think. Both bottom radiator mounts had to be welded in the bottom and the top stud of the radiator had to be relocated but the hoses fit just perfect. I'm glad I went with this set up to make room for a big turbo kit and way to mount a rear mount intercooler.

[MessyHonda]

I got the car back from the shop back in Dec. I been having issues with voltage at high rpms. would lean out the engine after 6k. I'ts back at the shop where the wiring harness was installed.

[MessyHonda]

Hey guys,

Now with facebook group I never come over here. Car was running great after I upgraded to bigger Alternator 90amp from b20. The wiring was upgraded with bigger wires. I have tons of pics but they are just on my phone. One day I hope to get bored and upload them. I took the car to the track in Jan and it ran a 15.2 in the quarter mile. I feel like I need more seat time and got to learn how to get a better 60 foot because my average was 2.4

[2ndGenGuy]

Hey Messy!

Do you think the main issue was the wiring? Or was the alternator going bad? Bad voltage regulator or worn out diodes? Seems weird that more alternator output would do anything.

i did the alt swap myself to the 90 amp. had no issues. adding more grounds is needed . i know this cause doing a voltage drop i was losing alot. added more grounds fixed that issue. retested all ok. if you don't you'll stress out your alt in any car. grounds are crucial.
