Hash_man_se_i's 1988 EX-i sedan build

[Hash_man_Se_i]

What will you do when one of the PRI axles gives out? just curious because i know theyre not around for axles anymore...

Have my welder friend rebuild them stronger... I'm not going to worry about that right now though, mostly just want to get this thing on the road.

Uploading pics for update right now.

that b20 is clean!!! that looks like fun, wish i could help lol

Thanks for all the props everyone!... And yea, the guy I got my motor from supplies pretty damn clean motors... My friend has an SR20DET from him in his 240sx and just put down 260hp and 250 some lb ft. to the wheels on a pretty much stock motor with boost controller.

Also, I wish I had some of you 3geez people here too... Help would be great. I somehow get suckered into helping my friends on their cars all the time, but getting people over here to help isn't too easy.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

So, as I said I have been getting suckered into helping friends working on their cars lately instead of working on mine... Here is some of what I have been up to;

Helped do some work on my friend's Del Sol which she bought just before winter. A little ricey, but it has a B16 and it's her car and she likes it, so that's pretty awesome.


Then a couple weeks back we put a Stoptech Big brake kit on my friends M3. He had the calipers custom painted before fitting them, as he likes to keep things original. Was a pretty straight forward install, 15" rotors and 6 piston fronts... 4 piston rears. They help with 428whp on tap

Before:


During:


And after.... Those are 20" wheels for size reference:




Now back to the Accord....

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Pulled apart my front suspension...




Time for new ball joints, and new wheel studs... This is what happened to 2 studs on left front, and one on right front last summer.... uggh.



So, time for some ARP help.



Now, I got myself a tool chest finally, hopefully help me stop losing tools all the time. And this weekend hooked up an old stereo I had kicking around in the garage for some tunes.





Got myself a custom power steering pressure line made so I can retain PS with my swap... Manual steering FTL!



Pulled these out of my basement for install:

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Engine is getting close to being ready to go. New waterpump and tbelt need to go on, CTR header with 2.5" collector is on, new oil pan gasket, and OBD1 injectors and alternator going on as well in place of OBD2 pieces.



My disaster of a garage right now:



And some more goodies and such waiting for the car:
Fluids!


My Honda parts guy is quickly becoming a good friend hahah


New OEM ebrake cables for rear disks w00t!!


Techna-fit SS brake lines, in "smoke" colour





Well there we have it... I should have engine ready to go this weekend for sure... now I just need an engine hoist as my friend who leant me his took it back the other week. That kind of sucks but what can you do. Then it is all downhill, hopefully.... Now I just need more funds too.

lol i know what you mean. for me it's quite often a case of drop everything to help someone else. this last update is win though. progress ftw

[Rendon LX-i]

Great progress bro. Loving it

[Hash_man_Se_i]

looking good...hope you have it rolling soon. keep the updates coming

Thanks everyone... And I hope I have it rolling soon too. Don't have a super long summer here, and I want to get some use out of the car. I think I possibly found an engine hoist to use, so I will find out about that tomorrow, and then things will be back on track!

[Tommy AC89 Thailand]

Cool!
Your engine is so clean.
I want aluminium radiator installation in my car too.

[dacantu]

great work and congrats on all the new goodies man. are you building the b20 or going ls/vtec? or leaving it a stock b20?

[Hash_man_Se_i]

great work and congrats on all the new goodies man. are you building the b20 or going ls/vtec? or leaving it a stock b20?

Thanks. I am hoping to go B20Vtec over next winter with a b16 or b18 type R head. I would like to get some debt like old student loans and such paid down first, so that may take a little while, but the master plan is to build a fairly mild b20vtec setup down the road, something I would like to do myself in my own garage again too. The thought of boost has crossed my mind too, as at our elevation here, NA is tough to make good power with, but that will be a ways down the road if it happens, I would idealy like to get a new winter car before that happens, I want AWD.

[canadian357]

You should definitely PM me with any good junkyard finds. I'd make the trip up for bose speaker grills and/or a decent se-i sedan interior.

yeah man...i was talking to my friend with a b20vtec and he said he made 220 wheel hp with a stock rebuild and just Type R head...told me i should of swapped mine but im already too deep with my b20.... have fun with the car and hope it runs soon

[Mellexx]

yay progress looking forward to seeing it up again

[Civic Accord Honda]

u get an engine hoist yet?

[Wil-_^liam]

Wow, this looks amazing. I hope I can do stuff like this one day. Awesome work!!

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Thanks for the compliments guys. Unfortunately no engine hoist... although I did finally find a friend who has one which I can borrow whenever I can steal a truck from someone I know.

Honestly not having a job and having bills to pay and another car to keep on the road has slowed things down, as has just enjoying the shit out of summer!! I wish I could be doing it with my 3g but I don't want to rush things, I am trying to do everything right the first time so I dont have to redo shit down the road.

[import racer]

I know the feeling man,you do what you gotta do not what you want to do.Looking good man.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Thanks import racer.... For the record, love your sig! Viper was an awesome show, and filmed here in Calgary too!

[01civy]

And after.... Those are 20" wheels for size reference:
