    Chrome trim over window removal

    That last piece in the photos is one big piece. There's really no way to cleanly spray it with the trim in place because of the way it's designed. :/

    Chrome trim over window removal

    Back to the top for some answers! Really would like to know a civilized way to remove this trim! I know some of you have done cosmetic overhauls of your cars for paint and body work. I suppose everyone just swiped their cards and let the body shop do the real work?? The trim I'm referring to:

    Nuke Rooster F/I engine build

    The vibrations in the crank are different from the vibrations that the balance shafts counteract. How high do you intend to spin on stock rods anyway? I don't feel the need to spin the engine much higher than the stock redline with boost for two reasons. 1. The stock cam (and most regrinds)...

    Accordman722's G23 Build.

    Re: Accorman722's G23 Build. Specs are only one piece of the puzzle. Look at the torque curves to see where their peak torque is produced and how consistent it's delivered, then consider what transmission it's typically paired with. That will give you a better idea of how well it will...

    Accordman722's G23 Build.

    Re: Accorman722's G23 Build. You're comparing a DOHC to a SOHC. The DOHC F20B has 197hp and 147tq, though I still don't understand why Accord guy's swap this engine into such a heavy chassis. It produces less torque than a stock F23 which is what moves the weight. Its only saving grace is...

    I can't figure it out..

    If it sounds like a suby/harley, you've got a dead cylinder with no compression. Your headgasket is probably toast and you're bleeding compression/oil/coolant like mad. Any over heating issues? It almost sounds like you could have dropped a valve. If this is somehow the case, the piston will...

    I read on Innovative's website that they only offer 75A and up for F/H series due to the torque, yet their 97-01 prelude kit offers 60A. :eh:

    A solid 60A urethane mount is still a LOT stiffer than a suspended rubber mount. I don't understand these guys that want to use the 85A or 95A mounts in their Accords unless it's a track-only car, and even then I doubt there's justification for anything that stiff. 700whp gutted civic that...

    Oh yes... I've seen that stuff. I filled my front and rear mounts with 3M window weld a few years ago and wasn't impressed at all. It was terribly messy, extremely difficult to clean up, and took weeks to cure. The stuff on McMaster-Carr's website even states "168 hours" cure time. I'll...

    I did not. I'm curious to see exactly what they have to offer, though I'm content with the Innovative mounts, having purchased them for $100 under MSRP.

    Nuke Rooster F/I engine build

    Don't need any more flow than the stock pump, but it can be modified slightly and possibly improved a little. Check out Mark's blog entry here on how he filled in some of the extra cavities and smoothed the transitions like the D-series guys do. BTW: Your TPS will work fine with an OBDI...

    Yeah, the spec sheet for them recommends .0025" P2W, which is why I called them. The guy I spoke to said he would run another full thousandth over that at a minimum. Thanks for the PM.

    That's what I was thinking too, but I couldn't be sure because of the camera flicker.

    Note to self: Wiseco recommends - min .0035" P2W clearance for the K568M865 pistons in a 350-400whp setup - min x.005 ring gap for 1st ring, x.0055 gap for 2nd ring Crower recommends - .002" rod bearing clearance for B93749B-4 rods

    JDMCG3's N/A H22 Build (Last Update: 03/12/2012)

    I don't remember what your goals were, but hopefully here's something to consider. Clicky -Stock block H22 (has Eagle rods, but I'm sure the same results could be had on shot peened stockers) -Type S pistons (11:1cr) -Intake Manifold -Throttle Body -Cams -BS Delete -Good Header -Tuning...

    Used VHT very high temp flat black on accident. I meant to use regular engine enamel since the VHT stuff is supposed to be heat cured. I sprayed my header and turbo manifold and cured them a couple weeks ago, but they're a little easier to fit in my oven. There's no reason you can't figure...

    Checking main bearing clearances today. I plastigage'd everything twice, once parallel with the bearings, and once perpendicular. Here are the results with six yellow halves and four green halves, as well as how I'm interpreting what I found: ~.0017" ~.0016"...

    F23 into a F20B

    Where are you getting these numbers?? ^^ yup You'll need pistons with 26mm comp height. It's not even worth going aftermarket rods for all motor. Aftermarket rods are heavier and don't come cheap. Just shot peen the stock ones and get K20a3 ARP rod bolts. Assembly alone should run you...

    F23 into a F20B

    You would need a custom piston with a 26mm comp height or a custom 140mm rod to avoid the piston from tapping the head. I don't know of any OEM honda parts that meet those specs.

    More Goodies: Red Exhaust Wrap. Completed pics pg. 3

    Re: More Goodies: Red Exhaust Wrap Did the guys at Mainstream make that manifold? I think that's a great design compromise between a ram horn and log that I've been looking for. Not so sure about the WG placement though. Any more photos of it so I don't have to dig through a hundred of your...
