i dont know what else to call it.. i've some some few things with my 88 hatch, upgraded to efi from carb... then went from the intake manifold to itb's... then eventually a obd1 b18 with itb's..

i've posted some pics here of my up coming project, i just wanted to keep you guys updated on my progress... now that i have a decent camera.. i should be able to take lots of pics.

so heres the update:

not going to bother explaining because its pretty obvious what i'm doing here...

^^^ - i got bored after cleaning up. -- 7mp with 10x optical zoom... like i'm really gonna get that close to it..

OldTimer2gS · 04-14-2008, 11:16 AM

Wow, that's one big a$$ wasp!!! is that going in the engine bay???

04-14-2008, 12:41 PM

Putting the 4g subframe in the 3g for H22 swap possibilities, or going to run the F motor?? If you've already got a B18, I guess I'm not sure where you are going with this?

He's installing the 4G Accord Subframe For a H22 Swap

04-14-2008, 01:39 PM

Oh oh, so my first guess was right. I'm not a dumbass! Yay! I've got mail!

Vector · 04-14-2008, 02:51 PM

i will be running that f22 for the first little while till the h22 gets a rebuild... its a f22a6 with a pt6 ecu from an accord EX-R... so its not totally gutless..

04-14-2008, 04:13 PM

Interested to see how this works out. Would love to see those modified crossmembers!!

sweet...i wish i had the room and tools for this kind of project

87roach · 04-14-2008, 07:16 PM

This is awesome, I'm going to have to stop by and check this out sometime! Keep up the good work man.

2drSE-i · 04-14-2008, 07:34 PM

are you gonna put a manual gearbox on the F22 while its in there, or just leave it auto for the time being? just curious

Vector · 04-14-2008, 08:15 PM

i have a 5spd from a 90 lx.. i think it sorta has shorter gears than the later models due to less power full engine... i cant imaging building this car up and having it auto.. i know one thing i'm gonna have fun with, and thats the cable<->hydro clutch thingy...

i'm pretty sure i have everything to make this work... unless the motor doesn't run. cough... it has 485,xxx k's ... i popped a battery in it.. and jumped it with a screwdriver... it cranked over just fine... sounded like a normal honda engine... but it remains to be seen what comes out the tailpipe.

so i'm not only one in the valley that still has one of these cars on here lol...

Vector · 04-15-2008, 07:38 PM

more progress on the 4g clip...

^^^^ - this is about what i need to start on the 3g tomorrow once i split the engine from the transmission and put the front suspension together so i can roll it around.

now this is going to sound kinda stupid... but i didn't break loose the cv axle nuts before taking this thing apart... anyone have any ideas on how i can do that now? lol I'm sure i will think of something.. but if anyone has a easier solution than me putting a tire on the hub and putting my truck on it to break it loose... let me know.....

A18A · 04-15-2008, 07:43 PM

damn, cool! good luck

Vector · 04-15-2008, 07:46 PM

^^^ - my sisters cat... noisy little thing.

^^^ - my kid Russel. he's 8

^^^ - wife picked this up on Saturday for 400 at a garage sale... atv's are a blast.

UPDATE: got word i might have my hands on a 95 jdm h22a for next to nothing. i will update tomorow after i go look at it.

Yeah, It's called the IR 2135Ti.. Was my favorite tool, now RIP after I threw mine into a concrete floor. Not going to get into that though.

I can't believe you're going through all this work. Wow. I would have just busted out the mig and the plasma cutter and made the stock 3g clip accomodate whatever.

86nlife2go · 04-16-2008, 03:22 AM

.......wow man, impressive. You got alot on ur plate now,lol. Nice pics by the way, they'll do wonders for your h22 photoshoot. Keep it up!

A18A · 04-16-2008, 03:38 AM

since you've gone this far, you should stick the sub frame into the back of the car, and put the motor in there :P

Hazwan · 04-16-2008, 03:51 AM

Holy shit thats a lot of work!

And cute cat too

Vector · 04-17-2008, 09:49 PM

did some more work today... didn't get much accomplished because i had a shitload of dental work done today(3x scale cleaning with freeze, wisdom tooth yanked)..

but never the less i got some picks... even got the 3g moved out of its spot

^^^ - theres a little pin in the crank, its there for the tq converter plate... but needs to be gone for the mt flywheel... any simple way of pullin this little guy?
i tryed with pliers, sidecutters, channel locks, vice grips, and it wont budge.. startin to think i'm going to have to grind it off.. any ideas?

^^^ - did a walk around the car... still cant believe how little rust it has for sitting for so long... it feels good to see it moved and so happy to be working on it again.

knarg · 04-18-2008, 12:21 AM
