Well to start off my name is Ashley Roachclip.....I am sure I will get plenty of snickers out of many .
Any way , I don't really own a civic , but have been doing many conversions , and swaps in this small town , so I thought I would join in, and share some of my experiences .
I do own a 92 GSR , with an Ls Vtec .
I did the conversion myself , as my first foot in the door , after aquiring the car with a bad engine .
Most recently , what has brought me here , is the 93 Civic Si to H22A swap .
A friend of mine son is graduating this year .
And as a present , We did a little exploring , and found that this was a doable project .
Had a custom painter friend , that had received the engine in a trade , so we picked it up complete with dyno sheet .
I won't bore you with all of the details , because being the astute enthusiasts you are ,
you already know quite a little about the sources
for the individual parts .
Took about a week for the mounts to arrive , radiator , and fan , Kirban fuel pump .
2 hours after we started , the old D16 was out , and next to the new monster.
took the next day , and made a few minor wiring mods, lengthened the alt harness cut the frame purches , and boxed them and made sure that all connectors were going to work from the Si to the h22a ...
On Saturday , took a few minutes to get in the swing , and with in another 2 hours , we had the engine resting in it's new home on it's own .
the rest of the day was spent modifying the core support to make room for the power steering, which took a small bit of trimming but was fairly simple .
By the end of the day , well early evening it was started ....
Man I can't tell you who's face had the biggest smile , the son or the Dad .
Transmission cable swap , is where we found , that the nice clean re-enforcement we made had to be reworked to be able to get the car into 1st gear .....oh well .
Last came the integra axles , and we buttoned it up and set it on the ground ....
I don't know how far into detail I can go here , so I won't tell you all of the 13K in parts that were installed , but what I can tell you is I took it out for it's first burn out , with a JDM LSD ......and hazed the industrial park we work on our race cars and stuff .
Open header , and that car is into Vtec at a snap of the fingers .
Today it went in for exhaust , got rid if the Blow Master , in favor of something that would let it breath , but not sound like the rest of the populations simular rides.
Next stop will be at tire store for some more appropriate wheels and tires , something in a manly polished 5 spoke .17"x7 or 7 1/2 '.
and the poverbrial drop , probably coil over , and some unibody stiffening parts .
I will take a moment to let you know what has been done to the engine , and where it was built , it is an extensive list .
sit down and hold on ,
92-95 JDM h22a built by Jeff @ www.ImportBuilders.com approx. 3500 miles
JDM lsd 5 spd
Weisco pistons 11.8 compression
Golden Eagle Sleeves
Golden Eagle Rods
Alaniz Race Port
Stainless Race Valves
Skunk stage 2 cams, retainers, springs
Skunk Cam Gears
Manual Timing belt tensioner
ACT Race lite Flywheel -8pds
Stage 4 clutch masters sprung 6 puck disk
UR pulley set
RC 370 injectors
STR 70mm throttle body
polished euro accord intake , port matched ti throttle body
Golden Eagle fuel rail
Golden Eagle VTEC solinoid
Head was ported and polished
Header by SMS products header was 1500 bucks and the best on the market with a 15 hp gain on the dyno
Max power on the RRevmotorsports dyno is 228.31
Torque is 167.06
total package was 130 pounds heavier than the d16z long block\ with alt, starter , header.
I will get pictures aas soon as I get to my other computer , probably tomorrow .
I think you will enjoy them .
And one more thing , if you don't mind , say high to DON ( the Father ) and Spoon ( the son )
Secondly , the srock TPS values won't work as I had to raise the idle figure up from .050 to .063 to solve an off idle quirk
Thanks for having me .....
