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 .

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.
