darkstarsinner Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Well she started out pretty slow, motor and build wise, but is moving along pretty well now. I'll keep updates as I go. The plans: Currently piecing together my suspension. Parts currently IN possesion: Full ST Sway-bar set, ASR subframe brace, Tein SS-P's, Full-Race traction bar, EDFC kit, F7 LCA's on fedex truck. Suspension parts in the works: Considering a full EM chassis reinforcement. But I still need the front upper strut bar as well as the rear. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c343/darkstarsinner/fs__0x0102382c_0313091558.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c343/darkstarsinner/fs__0x0102382c_0325091529.jpg Considering a Type-R brake conversion, still a bit undecided. Motor wise: I am piecing together an LS/Vtec with my original B18A block. Still loking for a damn head though. I also have a B20 block I am putting together as a side project for a future build. Would lke to grab a 94+ Integra. Just can't decide if I wanna go turbo or N/A. Interior: Staying put with a few exceptions. I have a set of Sparco Milanos, back seat is coming out, but the rest aside from the seatbelts is staying. Not to big on the whole riced out interior thing. I grabbed the Sparco's for a great deal and they sit lower (I'm 6'9" so I need all the room I can get). http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c343/darkstarsinner/SL731217.jpg Exterior: I'm going with a carbon fiber lip. Maybe some side skirts if I can find the right ones. JDM fenders on the way with the side markers and harnesses. Thinking about going a darker red. I also have a Seibon C/F hood, and hatch. Unfortunately they are about an hour away from me and the car. Just moved so I'm still getting situated. Also looking for JDM one piece headlights. I would have them already but I keep finding better reasons to spend the $500. I'll have to get them eventualy though. These Ebays are driving me nuts. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c343/darkstarsinner/DSC00211-1.jpg Rims: I currently have a set of Motegies on. Not quite the style I want so I am looking for a nice set of 5 bars in either 15" or 16". Just gotta find the right ones. Hopeing to find them in Bronze to offset the dark red and carbon fiber. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c343/darkstarsinner/0927082201.jpg LCA's came today. Very nice product. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c343/darkstarsinner/fs__0x0102382c_0327091518.jpg Edited March 27, 2009 by darkstarsinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstarsinner Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 boosted ls > ls/vtec Actualy if I boosted it, it would be a boosted LS/Vtec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstarsinner Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 roys boosted ls made 488 at the wheels...dont under estimate the ls ls/vtec = broken shit When I first started my build that's what I was afraid of. I have heard many horror stories with the LS/Vtec's but I have also SEEN many very fast ones. Any input on it would be more then welcome. I prefer to only spend my money once, lol like that is ever gonna happen. Do you know if he is running pump gas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstarsinner Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Psssssh ... I'll beat you at Forza. Racing games suck. Lol, I'll woop your ass at GOW2 though. And no I'm not crying about the pump gas. But I will be driving the car daily during the summer so it is kind of important. :gtfo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstarsinner Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Lol I got that beat. I paid $100 for my Volvo.

Guest Removed Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 ill give you 200 for it in that case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstarsinner Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 lol, hell no. Got it cheap cause the guy that had it was having wiring issues. Getting everything straightened out was a major pain. After all I went through to get her running right this car isn't going anywhere.

Wonderboy Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Boosted LS sounds like a winner to me. Vtak is not "all that". Boost is the much better route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 k series > ls dollar for dollar. yeah, just that swap alone could boost the ls, beyond what the k would make. and if honda wanted a ls/vtec, dont you think they would have built one? i always see them with rods hanging out of them, cause most dont build them worth a shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I liked titus's ls/vtec.. I always wanted a b20/vtec EK.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstarsinner Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I liked titus's ls/vtec.. I always wanted a b20/vtec EK.. That's what I bought my B20 block for. But from what I understand boosting is a bad thing for B20's. Beast, I knew someone would bring my seats into it. I bought those almost a year ago. They are comfy. And traffic isn't an issue as long as you can drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstarsinner Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 k series > ls Oh and yeah K series swaps are way to costly. by the time I bought the motor, the gear for the swap, and the K-pro, I could have built two 12 second B series motors. My buddy just dropped a K20A into his SI. He tried talking me into a K too. They're nice but not for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstarsinner Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 lol. Okay so I may consider just leaving my LS an LS and building it. MAYBE. Still dont have a damn head so it may be easier. Any advice for a built LS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstarsinner Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 If I do the full boosted LS I'll just keep my head. No sense in buying a new one when I already have one. And not to start a war with you but the B18B1 didn't come into play untill 94 in USDM Integra's. The options for 90-91 is just the B18A1, and 92-93 was the B18A1, or the B17A1.

darkstarsinner Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Oh.. well whatever. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Integra I assumed the b1 was in the 92-93 from this statement. Anyways, you can bolt the higher-flowing b1 head right onto your engine.. so, that's an option. I think it's posted like that because they did improve the cams in 92-93 just not enough to warrant a title change. But yes it is an option. that or just get a port and polish.
