Are you putting in LSD? Looks like you will need one!
Good quality parts you have there.
Did you think its more "tuner frienly" then k20?

Rep Power: 0 ETA? as of now.. early Feb. The car is being painted now. so in 2weeks the wiring harness will be put in. and then the motor will be put back into place.. All the mounts are done, and test fit is perfect. Shift linkage is all set and ready to go.. once that is done.. the manifold and turbo with all the piping is put in to place... by this time next month is our first test start.

Rep Power: 0 Wow, another B series finds a home in a Civic 
All of a sudden all those noob posts about 'whether you can put a B series into a 2001 Civic' and all the replies that its illegal and exhorbiant seem so ironic

Oh man... driving a turbo LS is soooooo much fun. I speak from an unforgetable experience. Let me just say, wheel spin in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, a little in 4th, and constant jerking of the wheel to the left to stay straight lol.

But with as much power as the K's are beginning to show and the amount of work it seems to take to put a B in the car... it hardly seems worth it to drop a B into the car.

there are a few 550+ whp civics around here with ls/ vtecs pounding at ~18psi. right now, building a ls/vtec is one of the cheapest ways to get easy power, at least by putting it into a 89-00 civic or 94-01 teg. but i agree, in time, the k's will be just as affordable as the b's are and make even more power.
