[QUOTE="Steven206Seattl, post: 5533947, member: 569558"] Well, I have some more updates. It's been a while, again. Anyways, I have some pics if any of you are still interested. I've taken a lot of time on this build but miss driving the car a lot so am upping the pace the next 2 weeks, hoping to finish. Here is how the engine is sitting right now [IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/steven206/IMG_3270.jpg[/IMG] The Block from the integra. Preparing it for the new high compression pistons and some other minor mods to the bottom end [IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/steven206/IMG_3272.jpg[/IMG] Pistons out. Also, got myself a b16 transmission. This will make a major improvement on performance. These gears area A LOT shorter than the other transmissions. I may swap my 5th gear from the LS transmission into this b16 transmission for highway driving. [IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/steven206/IMG_3275.jpg[/IMG] As most of you know, I was going to use those high compression pistons. Well, I have no tools to get the pistons off from the connecting rods. My dad knows some people with a shop and I told my dad I wasn't going to use the pistons the intgera had in it before. The shop told my dad there machine ruins pistons when taking them off but he said I wasn't going to re-use them anyways. The bad part is they had the other pistons as well. I ordered new ones though and they are coming monday. Yeah it was a big loss, but brand new pistons with black skirt lubricant on them will be another good thing for reliability. That is all I have so far, next week I am getting the rods shotpeened and then balancing the bottom end. Once that is done, I can put on my b16 and tap some oil lones making it ready to go in [/QUOTE]
