83 engine / car rebuild thred *pics*

[xvok]

so as some of you know i got a car with a blown headgasket and all the general gayness that goes along with that if you want you can read all about that in my old thread. https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61427 anyways since then I have dissassimbled the engine and taken it to britco machine shop for some tlc http://www.britcoengines.com/ what I am having them do is a bore hone. then deck the block. hot tank. and the mic and polish my crank .in addtion I went ahead and orderd berrings pistons and seals through them. all of that will be ready for me on the 8th. I have to throw in a little plug for them here they where knowdalagable profeshnal and prompt they where also reasonabley priced (kinda lol spent way more then i planned). So in the mean time I though that I would tie up all of the lose ends let me stard off with photo jernal of this car.

Looking good so far... Not that I haven't seen most of that in person. Random that we both get our engines going at the same time, and live in the same town. I think working on your car, really got me going on my 1gee. Lets see who finishes first!

[xvok]

didnt do to much today took my intake and hedders in to shop and media blasted them also took some pics of them next to the us exulivents








the intake is totaly diffrent but im prety sure that the headders are the same minus the blace where the egr bung hole would be drilled in.

[bobafett]

good stuff. that new intake manifold looks way better!

[2ndGenGuy]

Man that media blasting is awesome! I've got a handheld sandblaster at home... I think I'm going to do the same thing. That Canadian manifold is sexxay! Especially compared to that giagantic US manifold.

[2ndGenGuy]

Here, buy this xvok:

$17.00 to your door. Can't beat it.

[79cord]

Especially compared to that giagantic US manifold.

& the '79-81 EL manifold looked even smaller without those extra water pipes!

I saw one figure quoted for the '81 EK engine weight & looked up the equivalent spec in my '79 EL w/shop manual:
EK = 158 kg/351 lbs
EL = 145 kg/322 lbs

Even though they shared the same engine block !
13 KG !!!
& that's not even including the Cat converter used on post '80 EK.

I cant say that surprises me at all consitering. i guss with this car since the power is never going to be all that great ill have to go for light and good handling.

[2ndGenGuy]

Just find yourself that Jackson Racing turbo kit. There's gotta be one out there somewhere...

[xvok]

ya ittl be right after i fing the b18c1 swap kit

[bobafett]

wow both good ideas. lol would be such a fast little hatch!
even though you are joking around, isn't it tempting to be the first (?) turbo 2g swapped accord? hehe

[2ndGenGuy]

Haha! I was talking about the old-school Jackson Racing blow-through turbo kit for the early E-series motors. Uses an SU carb. It's a pretty crazy looking setup for sure!

This is the only picture I can find of it, but Jackson Racing has been making Honda performance stuff forever! And yes, that is all on the back of the engine.



Read this article, and learn much about early Honda performance possibilities. They used to make trips to Canada to buy batches of EL heads and sell them down here in a package with headers, cam, exhaust, carbs, etc. I guess they got some pretty wicked power with that stuff.

Even mentions them running 14.5 with a 1200cc Civic, and doing ice racing with turbo / nitrous setups on the early E-series engines as well.

[xvok]

ohy hey thats cool do you think that it would be possiable to get a bigger version of that pic I might actualy be willing to give it a try assuming that i can at least kinda half assedley see what I am doing.

[2ndGenGuy]

Nah... that's all I've got of it myself.

[xvok]

http://www.1stgencivic.org/discuss/8953-1108606062.html picture links are broken but he managed to turbo a 1.6l with a renult fugo turbo form canada prety intresting stuff.
just about gave up on finding it too i thint the key words "civic turbo" has more hits then "porn"

[Civic Accord Honda]

i like where u put the battery
is yours a LX? i know my door panels where vinal and yours are cloth
mine was a STD so maybe thats why lol

i miss mine

[xvok]

yup lx i think cloth was an option because i pulled a door from a jy and it had red vinal so i had to swap my interior pannles out. also that car didnt have a pass miror so i threw mine on for good masure. wonder i any one would notice if i removed both mirors

[79cord]

Usually a legal requirement to have at least one mirror!

[xvok]

ya I know but some times you see things on such a rutine baisis you would be likeley to overlook it
