[OG Wagon]

I got the clip and many other JDM parts from Alex(3gcvc) put it costed a pretty penny...



Hey all..sorry i haven't updated on my thread, just doing so much things at once(build tranny, Sandblast chassi, RHD conversion, piecing everything together)..i havent had the time to go get the camera...soon i will tho..thanks

Wow, sounds promising! However, pics or it never happened

[lordame]

A lot of good parts, here !!

Have you mount everything ?

[cahitapower]

SOO, Im resurrecting my build thread..

 

Its been so long and things have changed with the "Cahita" project...

 

Its still not on the road yet    , but hopefully by the end of 2017 I'll get it hugging corners lol...

 

Anyhow, i figure I'll continue were i left off... Transmission

 

So the transmission is all done, I managed to get my hands on CG synchros from SynchroTech off of there Pro series Carbon line

(really cool guy, i forgot his name, it was afew years ago but he was digging, and waaa laaa there they were. Last set 1-4th carbon synchros)

 

Accord 5th gear, and obx LSD

 

 

Casing all cleaned up and ready.... (sorry of some shitty pics but some of them are old)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All done and ready to rock..

Nice work/update.

I found the OBX lsd is pretty good - I have to be really trying for it to lose drive in a corner, and then its a marginal effect.  I also found I could use B series cable box synchros for some of the replacements, if you need that in the future.

[PuddleSkipper]

I know how you feel, but just keep at it man, you'll get it done!

AHH MAN PLEASE DO SHARE!...always good to know other ways to do things

thanks bro, im committed to this car but its been a very SLOW process, not only with parts but i always manage to find more and more things to do to it which digs me more into the hole to come out of 

[cahitapower]

So i had on my check list, was to get BisiMoto V2 headers.. well here they are

 

 

 

 

Well, guess I'll share where I'm at with my engine..

 

So i originally was gona go with an all-motor setup. But it seemed like i wasnt going to hit my HP goal (which is 200hp) with the setup I was intended to do. So i came upon someone that had at the moment crashed his delsol and he was parting out. He was running a D-series Jackson Supercharger. So with abit of sweet talk lol i managed to convince him to sell kit..

 

 

With that said i had already got a ZCspeed adapter i was going to run my Skunk2 intake manifold

 

 

Test fitting 

 

 

 

 

Planning on running 10psi on it and sending it to LHT Performance to have it convert the intake manifold into a Liquid cool. I've been looking up and it seems they tend to get hot and thats a big NO NO on my book.  Anyhow heres a look on my internals..

 

75.5mm 11:8 compression, eagle H rods, Correct ARP studs for D16A1's

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[anjin]

That is impressive gear.

 

I'll be interested to see how 11.8 static compression and 10 psi boost is dealt with in tuning. From my current understanding you will be pushing the envelope.  Cooling the intake is a good move in that regard. I do like that the pistons have substantial meat in the between ring lands.

Can I ask for the details on the pistons - they don't appear to be P28's.

 

Your con rods look similar to a set I have.  Word of advice - I had to notch the cylinder wall to allow that wide section clear movement.  About 12 mm needed to be taken out up the wall. Do a trial fit with just one piston and rod to see what has to happen.

hey, thanks Anjin,

 

yeah i would have to noch the block for rod clearance..

The piston are actually custom ordered for the D16A1..i'll dig out the box and get you the specs

 

I really cant wait to get it tuned, going to be running Hondata S300 with the CPR kit to run individual coils 

 

Mocking up the some coils  

 

 

 

Holding down the little beast motor are Cheddas Billet Mounts all around 

 

[cahitapower]

Here are some more bits to add from Suspension and Steering 

 

Cheddas Spherical Bearing for Crossmember/ and LCA

 

 

Also have the Cheddas Top shock mount and i switched out the Heel Toe camber caster kit for Cheddas kit, like that i can use a strut bar with that camber Caster kit

 

 

[anjin]

Chedda makes some nice kit. 

Re the strut bar, I did a cheeky use of an EG cross strut, bolted directly to the front of the towers with a backing plate inside.  Cleared everything with a B swap in, although the clutch cable is a stretch if you leave it over the cross brace.(being a RHD motor, the cable is short).

[cahitapower]

So I got down to it, and saw something that was off...The floor pans were looking abit sketchy. So i decided to do further inspect..

 

 

 

 

And what do you know...there must of had been 5lbs of bondo on each side!! 

 

 

 

So off I go, taking chunks of bando off..

 

 

 

MAN IT LOOKS UGLY!!...abit intimidating... but this wont stop me.. ehh more fun as i see it

 

[cahitapower]

So what happens when, you want a rotisserie but you just dont wanna cough up the pennies for it... You make your own lol

 

 

WALAAA!!

With 2 engine stands, 2 ram pump from Harbor freight and some 2x2 square pipes. I have a rotisserie just under 200 bucks lol

 

 

Some paint to make it look pretty lol 

 

[niccer]

Great build so far, keep the updates coming!
