I'll only be boosting about 8psi during the turbo brake in period.
So I don't expect much till later, probably in Jan when I get the RSX injectors and returnless fuel system install.

the block is bored and sleeves are pressed in.. he used 76 mm pistons rather than stock (75). the only problem he stated was the bottom of the sleeves needing to be notched out in order for the rods to pass without hitting the sleeves. crank is stock also i think. i guess he will confirm all this. i've read that post multiple times, should have it memorized eventually. and i've already asked him if he has any specs on what notching they did to the sleeves.

I don't have any measurements for the notches.
Pretty much we kept notching till the rod cleared
Here are detail pics so you get an idea



Also noticed the block guard I installed.
The holes are enlarged for better watter flow


All part numbers are included on the original post #1
With the contact number of where to get them


Once I get the images figured smaller I'll update the original post #1

I'll like to mention that the bearings are recomended and there is specific measurements for each engine.
You'll have to mach the number of the crank to the numbers on the block then using the tech book it will tell you what color combination to use.
The same goes for the rod bearings.
Very important.
All this info is very lenghty to explain the best way to learn it is to actualy read the service manual under engine rebuild.

Yeah I have the honda manual and you NEED these specs. There are like 4 different rod and 4 different main bearing sizes and every engine could have a different combo. DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS STEP.

All labor prices are up to the shop.
Different shops different prices.
My suggestion to you is to find two or three shops and get quotes.
It took me a year and I was patient and carefuly coordinated each step at the time.
I did a lot of reseach and a lot of the foot work my self.
There are no easy answers just got to do your homework.
Parts and contacs are included on the first post.

Is worthed if you do it right and don't get discourage if you do something wrong.
Be realistic about ther power you want.
For me is worth it just for the experience and all that I'm learning.

Read the first post entirely a lot of your questions are answer there.

I tunned at 225 hp at 12psi 200lbs torque

I just got done installing a suplement to the return fuel system.
That will aloud me to keep a liter of fuel always available without drying up the line.

Also I installed some electronocs that I purchased from OPTO and installed by OPTO

So will see what happen at the next roll.

My goal is not to run so much and test how far I can take the engine.
My goal is to do realistic numbers safetly without blowing anything up.

At 300 I'll need Axels and reinforced trany LOL
I got the car back with new paint job, enhance fuel system, big fan on front.
RSX injectors and a resurfaced block with the P &P head springs and valves, new berings (again)
A block guard as shown on the pics.
Just got 50 miles on it and is running good on the e-manage and the ESC2 installed by opto
Is running a bit rich and got a code for the barometric sensor.
But is running very good and I'll be dynoing it soon.
Will post pics.

That is caused by the injector correction factor, which causes a variation in the MAP sensor input versus output. This can be seen by using the data analysis function on the E-Manage. Try narrowing your injector correction factor to 275/310. That may help.

Thanks for the good comments it's being a real journey to get to this point

I'm wondering that may be this thread need to be in the top as sticky subject.

Is not realy a turbo topic but it has to do wit engine internals part #'s etc.
If you guys think is a good idea
Can I get some help with it?

Re: FAQ: For engine block internals (updated july 06)

Not that Hector can't speak for himself, but it's a non-VTEC. When you're you're throwing gobs of air at an engine, it's almost better to not have to fart with VTEC. Just have all the valves work all the time instead of some of them open and some them not. Gas mileage and emissions aren't really a concern at this point, so who cares about VTEC?
