Nah man, that is so far away from me. I go to the SoCal Meets.

 

[XjoEnX]

[Swerve]

[NemesisCBR]

^Fail. Should be coming out to this next one cus theres gonna be like a dozen in attendance + friends.

 

[Swerve]

Haha its too long of a drvie to socal

 

[NemesisCBR]

Does not mean you cant do it. :mrgreen: Next best thing to being on the track is hanging out at the track.

 

[Nick_C78]

Agreed. I am actually bummed about being sidelined this event though.. hah

 

[derekkh]

Very nice thread Nick. Car looks nice. Long time before mine gets there. If only money wasn't an obstacle.

 

[Nick_C78]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Mine still needs a lot of work, and cosmetically she is a little rugged. Money tends to limit us all man, you'll get there.

Updates(or lack there of):
I have not even touched the car since December 17th, because I have been in Colorado. However, I was told that my short block will be shipped and waiting for me to pick it up by the time I get back from Colorado, which will be mid January. I hope it all goes well from here on out and I get to come home and install a fresh short block. That would be a very good birthday present for me. That and no more issues and a good tune session of course

 

[dopematic]

New block waiting for you... That sure does sound like a great gift waiting for you. Have fun with that! haha

 

[Nick_C78]

Thanks, hopefully it is there when I get back and everything goes according to plan.

GEtting a B18 or a B20 block?

In regards to our built head discussion.. http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=3111609

Wish more would chime in. Derek (ALL MOTOR, DD Tech cams) is very knowledgable. Tho, even at head work there are of course other factors to consider. I.e. valves, spings, cuts..

GEtting a B18 or a B20 block?

I am getting another gsr block. I don't like the idea of the added oil line and such. Want to stick with vtec blocks if possible.

And yeah blake I have seen it. Certain heads work better with certain builds. Obviously there is a reason they made the gsr head instead of using the B16 head, but yeah. My b16 head was free which is why I went with it. Honestly though once both heads are built, the differences are minimal power wise. And yeah there are so many factors when it comes to head work, which is why I trusted Phil to work his magic and not question him. We will see if it pays off when I let elton tune it. Hopefully nothing in the head got ruined by this constant oil burning.

Man I miss driving my integra. Can't wait to get back. Not driving sucks! Also cant wait to see all the SoCal peeps again. So who wants to help me yank my motor out when my new one comes in?
