Ive owed a 98 contour/ 04 Jetta TDI/ 05 GS500F/ 06 SV650S/ and i currently own an 04 RX-8, an 02, Yamaha R1 (both 8 and 1 are moderately modded incl exhaust intake/filter and piggy back management) I am now taking on a project of building a D16Y8 to be fast, reliable, inexpensive and reliable! notice a pattern there? i acquired a 99 acura 1.6el that has 190km on it. it needs a little love but i got a great deal on it and have the motivation to do well with it. it has a blown engine the rod went into the block so its toast. ive since picked up a 98 y8 with a spun rod bearing on cylinder 4 (i took it apart and found the bearing shavings collected in the oil pan) so as it sits right now i have the parts fully washed and ready to go back together sans extra metal shavings and no real damage anywhere except the crank has a hairline groove in it. bigger bearings and have it polished out? i have ordered 9:1 srp pistons eagle h beam rods cometic hg, 2.5" header Full exhaust with headers. new oil pump water pump timing belt, arp studs, clevitte bearings,hondata intake manifold gasket, intake, fidanza 7lbs fly, exedy stg 1 clutch, new coolant hoses, zex valve springs, adj cam gear, and soon to be purchased cam... i plan on boosting with a t3/t4 set-up in the future but was going to purchase turbo and all associated mods later on when the time is right and drive this n/a for a month or two for it to break in well. some advice on the build would be appreciated maybe im forgetting a key part to the build the turbo parts will come later incl ignition system and fuel but to get this on the road i think im close to ready just wait for odds and ends to come in the mail. so if u think i might be overlooking something feel free to let me know. ill be sure to post pics as the car comes together and im not sure where my limit is with this project but i will say its geting a honda lip kit and new paint to look clean but not rice and this will be a daily driver with full sound system in it. thanks everyone if you've read to this point you must enjoy your honda's a lot so hats off to you and im anxious to join into the honda fun.
