Have been running my 84 Rex with Jdm B16A in Dmod. Understand I can go to 2.0 liters. Wondering if anyone knows of a true Honda eng builder in Phoenix I can take car to and let them build me real motor. I could tow to CA but would rather stay in the valley. Anyone help????????

thanks

Chris Jannasch, at Apex in Tempe, (480)967-6515. He really knows his shit about Hondas, and does awesome work at pretty reasonable prices. I really wish at this point I'd had him build a D16A1 for me instead of buying this '91 Si .

Vandemar long time no see. Hows the rex? Running it at all. Hey look there's 3 1st gen fans in Phoenix. Ever feel like your the only one?

Funny you should mention that...my car's been out of comission since September or so of last year, when the D16A1 bottom end let go right after I got all the bugs worked out with my Mikunis. I've thought about converting it to EFI and throwing an EW4 into it, but I really don't have any use for a track car right now .

Oh, Jeff- if you want to go up to 2.0L, do it with a sleeved, big-bore 1.8L shortblock. The B16's shorter stroke will lead to some really thin cylinder walls at 2.0L, and stroking it is a whole lot more expensive than finding a 1.8L bottom end to start with. Try and get a hold of Tage Evanson, since he's been running a 2.0L B18C1 in his SM Integra.

Sorry to hear about your car. Hey if you know anyone locally looking for a car check out my thread. 2 for $800. You have probably seen the thread.
As far as the 2.0L I am a bit worried by them. Tage has had two let go. He is having a lot of oiling problems and had to spend a lot of money on trying to find a fix. Still hasnt found the fix yet. Just something to consider.
