New Poject

after i sold the eg6, i had some spare cash to play with

i came accros this light damage mb6 vti for a absoloute bargain and couldnt resist ;-)

75,000 miles, and 1 of the smoothest running b-series ive heard



so now im on the look-out for a 1.4/1.5 ek in white to drop the b18c4 into

still had some cash leftover, so i got to thinking of what to spend it on....

i made some 'purchases' and.........

Today i got home, to be confronted with this


























Inovative ek engine mounts









Full-Race T3/T67H.O. Turbo (garett GT37R modified by full-race)








Its a Full-Race ProAm stage 4 turbo kit

gonna start stripping the c4 out of the mb6 this weekend hopefully

ordering the internals asap,still undecided about sleeving it

ooooooooh you lucky bitch

omg how long till you will have this up and running and ready to rumble you got some seriouse products there good luck with the build up make sure everything is bang on perfect my friends has just done a c4 turbo into an ek and its not bad he is also having another block built on the side ready to swop so be good to see how these turn out!!!

safe

cheers lads
i cant wait :-)

i really wanna get it sleeved, ive d/l the darton MID Installation manual and it doesnt look like a huge job for an engineering firm to do, but i cant think of anywhere that would do it

what internals is your mate running??

just looking at my downpipe haha its huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge

yeh that d pipe is massive my mate running stock at the moment, no idea what internals he gona be running, but as for you darton is the way forward was looking at a block with these sleeves in the other day im sure there are plenty of places that will sleeve your engine doesnt look to hard from what i saw when they were putting them in, have a look and see if you find any good places if you find that you are really really stuck the garage that done my H2B have a place that they get all there engine sleeved,ported,polished,skimmed ect but for now have a look around see what u find.

well i had some time today so i started to strip some of the mb6

Bumper, headlights, wings, mud flaps, slam pannel, aircon





Seeing it all open like that made me think.........












seeing it on the block has given me some extra inspiration to get things moving

Cant wait to see this bad boy done.

Been having some thoughts about my own with a b18c4.

that last pic looks the cats pj's man cannot wait to see it done now

Hmm looks Good Im gona have a break for a bit save some money and in due time i might look into what i can do with my old bottom end as its off the car and free to be built but gona wait to see how everyone else gets on with turbo as i havent been in one decent turbo honda yet well to be fair havent had much luck with N/A either.

Holy Mofo!

This is going to be an absolute monster!

Have you found an suitable car to dump it into yet?

no, im still looking. ive got an absoloutely mint 1.4 ek right now that im driving, but its red. i reli want a white ek, so just using this for a run-about for now. Ideally want a white 1.5 rather than a 1.4 so i'll have abs
but it seems like theres more white ek9's about than 1.5's
the search continues .......

What made you choose Dartin Sleeves have you read up on Golden Eagle sleeves meant to be good and do not cost as much just thought id let you know.

yee,i read about them yesterday. Just doesnt seem like many people have run them, and never heard bad things about the darton sleeves. I think im gna go with 84mm dartons, but trying to work out what pistons to get, what compression ratio to run. reli confusing me

Well will be good to see how the dartons work out for you im going to be using the eagle sleeves in mine as for compression as you obviously know lowest compression is what your aiming for where did you find your turbo kit and how much it set you back? when you think yours will be ready

well, i got a gd deal 2bf got it off ebay.com, a guy in tennesse had it on a b18c1 ek for 10,000 miles then he got rear ended,and stripped the car for absoloutely everything. the kit is like new.
had the inovative mounts and a brand new in box moroso oil pan aswel from him

the shear mass of the turbo is unreal! its goin to eat birds!

change of plan im also goin with Darton sleeves all i need now is pistons, rods and a new crank,

haha,whats with the change of plan tesh??

heres the sleeves im gonna order

need to decide which set to order.......
the sleeves can be taken upto 85mm with no problem,but should i stick to the 84mm or maybe go 84.5

im thinking take them to 84.5mm so its freshly machined.
been talking to people on honda-tech and every1 has suggest 9:1 compression ratio so im feeling the :
B-Series 84.5mm (0.5mm Overbore) 9.0:1 SC7021 pistons. what you guys think??
wanna get the right stuff first time,no messing. Need to get this baby on the road

looks like taht would be the best choice, you dont want to add too much weight to the pitons/rods, it wont rev as high (well it will but it would put alot of extra strain on what im assumeing will be a stock crank)

looks like im going the same route btw, scrapping the h2 idea i think.

Im looking to swap/part ex my h22 for a c4 w shafts and linkages.

change plan bcuz i bought a black EG which im going to make look sick for daily use and keep as a 1.5, pointless having another car that is semi fast as im not gona drive it everyday i might aswell make my EK savage as possible, gettin my darton sleeves very cheap and they are getting installed along with my pistons and rods for free only thing i need to buy is my turbo kit will be a while yet as im in no rush at all but gona be very busy meanwhile maybe we will be finished around the same time if we do fancy goin santa pod to test these machines out?

anyways good luck with everythin your doing the progress is looking good

yee,where u gettin ur dartons from tesh?? i can order mine on friday ,wanna find the cheapest price.
ezza, returning to your old ways im liking the sound of that. c4 ftw!
i want an uprated crank, i wanna leave nothing to chance 2bf. im in no rush. i think crower do an uprated crank. where can i buy one?

Same here im leaving nuffin to chance and also in no rush im gettin my darton sleeves through a friend as they can get them on trade price ill find out tomorow how much.

yee,tesh if he can get b18 84mm sleeves i'll have them,maybe if we buy the two sets together we'll get them even cheaper.let me know

ok ill get you a price then you can decide safe
