Good job on getting it all together man, Maybe this could be your build thread instead of always making new ones?

Judging by the stickers your putting arp head bolts in the engine?

Good luck

It looks like you're starting quite a collection of Avignon Blue 3Gs.

How is the interior of the new one you bought? And does it have an OEM radio/cassette deck by chance?

[lilneedle]

interior is ok other than slight age rips in the seats...and radio is gone...but I get those oem's all day...and yes arp for life baby....TOM the build will start this weekend....TOM

Are you running the CVCC ports? I think if you don't use them you will have problems with ignition because the spark plugs sit in the CVCC prechambers, and if you have no fuel and air going to the CVCC ports it can't be good... Of course I could always be wrong.

i love that blue color. same as my sedan.

its always nice to get yer ride running again. i was so giddy when i completed my si swap. all this talk of people runninf motorcycle carbs makes me want to do that to my offroading crx!!!

Kristy's(Cyrus's GF)86 SI under construction..anyways tell us what yall think and I will post later more of what we do today...hopefully we will have the block in the car...TOM

[crazi-85crx]

I'm interested in seeing how that fuel pump works. I wouldn't think it flows enough for bike carbs or high rpm's... especially the 12S model.

Remember, those carburetors' fuel bowls need to be level when they are mounted.

[lilneedle]

We'll do....The pump is rated for up to 5.5 psi..with that regulator...I can turn it down if needed...I would prolly need higher like 4.5-5.5 when I get my cam and jets for the carbs...right????
