The Start of my tear down and rebuild

[jsleeper81]

I will sell you a crank if you need one for an ls motor. And for a lot, a lot cheaper then that.

Sounds good to me the one at the auto parts store is a lot cheaper but as I said before I want to make sure that I get a crank that is good.
even though they say remanufatured I don't know if it's worth it it is said to be a crank kit and it is suppose to come with crank main bearings and rod bearings, But if you will sell me one that might work out better I'm located in Fort worth Tx. and have never bought through a club only companies like andy's auto sport.
If you would like to feed me some info of how much and how to go about paying you and doing the shipping which I will take care off.
Thanks much.

alright I was outside taking a look trying to figure out which programer I am wanting to get.
I know that I would like a S300 I have heard many good thing about this and it would not only help me in tunning for what I am putting on now put also in the future when I want to do more to it.
I thought that I OBD was the factory integra one but when I looked if I am looking in the right place it is in the passenger floor board right behind the right kick panel all it says on it.
First it looks like it came out of a Salvage yard it has yellow writing that says 93 civic 1600 mt
so do you know which one this is I'm assuming obd0 I've heard that before 96 that is what it was after is
obd1 and obd2.
so my question is what would I need to use the hondata and do I need to chip this as well?
one more thing I'm woundering if this is safe on the Vtec solinoid the three wire that go to it come through the fire wall and are running somewhere inside of the Ecu.
I'll will taking this out to look at it if needed which I'm not sure yet let me know on this if you don't mind.

if your not going to tune the car yourself you can get a s100. The s300 is good because with the smanager you can tune all the parameters yourself. If your car is a 96 it's obd1 so you'll be fine. You'll have to send your ecu out for them to solder the s300 in and they will chip it right away.

okey do you know of any reliable people to contact and tell them what I'm looking for?
the ecu is something I have never had to deal with before I am only used to aircooled motors first honda I have done.
now this is located behind the pasange side kick panel?
if it is like I said it say 93 honda civic 1600 MT will this still be an obd1 or am I looking at the wrong thing here this is also where the three wires from the vtec run to.
like I've said before I'm learning as i go when it comes to electronics the motor I am familiar with the works and how to build.
also when I send it in do I need to have the s300 sent in with it or will I purchase through them telling them what I am looking for.
now I'm assuming the ecu has been chipped because I did not see a knock sensor on the motor.
and yes I would like to try to tune it my self it feels better to me if I do it and learn that way I know what's going on with the car and if I make a mistake I'll fix it.
I will be trying to find a shop that know how to tune a honda though to help walk me through it on a dyno so I make sure I'm not going to be running to lean or rich espacially I have had major problem with cars due to this

Alright a little off subject but while I was waiting for the motor I decided to run the vtec wires a little better who ever did it took the two from the vtec solinoid rain them into the middle of the firewall and cut into the harness.
okey here is what it is of coarse a b18b1 with a b16 head, chipped p28 obd1 with a obd1 to obd2 conversion.
now the wires are spliced on the converions harness which is fine he has them on A4 and D6 I am actually going to run the wires to the cannon plug.
My question is on D6 where it comes up from the ecu converion harness into the car harness there is a wire on the car harness side which I though was suppose to be an empty space
okey that is the best I can describe but here is a picture

the wire that goes into the engine bay is white with grey side marks if you need any more pics to help just let me know I would like to get my wires done correctly as in doing them with the pins so I can clean up the engine bay as well

I have been waiting for all my parts to come in so I decided to get my head from the shop since it will be a while before I am able to do anything to it well they already had the whole valve train pulled out for me.
I have already had a thread on this before it's a pr3-3 head which is to be a b16a head.
here is the pics of the bare head and valve train.

okey the reson I posted this last pic is I read on a post that there where four dots to the left of the casting stamp that indicates what year this head came from are these the numbers and if so which one am I looking at to see this.
I'm trying to figure this out so I can get the right dizzy I know that the dizzy need to be for a vtec and need to fit the ecu I'm running I of coarse have a p28 chipped which is I beleive an obd1 if I'm correct my wiring harness is obd 2 I have the ecu conversion harness I am not looking to do any wire splicing near the distributor the one i have works but the bolt pattern does not match properly I'll post some pictures later tonight.

also I have heard that the B16 and itr head are the same except that the itr has a little better port job on the intake side now I have also heard that the itr head has bigger intake valves and dual springs on intake side
If this is true I am woundering I have bigger intake valves so would this make it an itr or are the valves and springs the same in both b16 and itr.
if not what am I looking at here.
well hopfully I'll be getting my pistons in soon so I can start getting the machine work done I'm hoping to have it all back in about three weeks or so. and will have pics as soon as I do .
