[t.schultz]

what up mike! looking good mang. u going out of the states to work...? i seen it on h-t.

[ShawnZ]

Awesome project for sure. One question, are you gonna do anything about the crack in the block??? Id almost get with whomever i bought that from and try and get a different one. It may never cause a problem or i may cause lots of problems.. Good luck with it and hope to see this at the fall import alliance meet.

[spoolie]

I need to get that block fixed :mrgreen:

trash it and get another...never use cracked parts.

[ShawnZ]

Yea looks pretty bad.. Dont think i would trust it. Would hate to have to pull it back out of a nicely painted engine bay.
http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj129/mrcoupe_bucket/DSC00714.jpg

[spoolie]

thats what i just said...all that fucking money...out the window is block takes a shit...fresh start.

[T3AM SPOTLIT3]

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj129/mrcoupe_bucket/DSC00714.jpg



that got to hurt man,i belive you better get a new one and shoot that block with a 50cal.

[mr.coupe]

Thanks guys :)

Well I still have a fresh k24a4 long block no ones picked up yet....I was doing the k24/k20 deal for a bit..but then picked up this a2 swap for a great price from reebs.

I mean...that block could be easily fixed...because its the corner where the A/C compressor bolts on where the front of the car was smashed (came out of wrecked car) Crack doesnt go into the motor...not complete peice broken.

Not sure....hmmm.......we'll see! I still may do the frankenstein motor ;)

But yeah gonna be working out of the country in trinidad on and off...so car is proably gonna be running sometime this winter. :)

[ELI]

[mr.coupe]

little update before I head back out to the garage...relocated the lower radiator stays for the K =)

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj129/mrcoupe_bucket/DSC00811.jpg

First I started by drilling out the old spot welds

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj129/mrcoupe_bucket/DSC00812.jpg

After doing that a little gental prying will leave you with this

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj129/mrcoupe_bucket/Picture001-1.jpg

tacked one mount up and tested the radiator for clearence issues.....and there were none of course =) remember...measure twice...cut once...in this case...measure twice and weld once :P

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj129/mrcoupe_bucket/Picture002-1.jpg

so lined up and marked the other mount location

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj129/mrcoupe_bucket/Picture003-1.jpg

welded both mounts up and heres the result! perfect fit!

Here you go :)

Pictures cannot capture this color as I would like...it likes to change colors...and in direct sunlight...wow....I'm just super siked right now...I love it! And no I'm not saying what color this is haha :P Brighter lights really bring out the gold pearl..but in darker lights you notice the blue pearl more. It does look gray at first but then you realize its far from it :) I'm so stoked right now hahah....expect many more updates on this soon.

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj129/mrcoupe_bucket/Picture021.jpg

Well as for another update for you guys we got the a2 completely torn down..i need to go out and take some more pictures when the cameras battery charges up a bit more. The lower block might be fixable...not sure...but didn't take the risk...instead I bought a new a2 short block =)

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj129/mrcoupe_bucket/001.jpg

[KillerRabbit]

damn, clean setup. Im about to do the same with my EJ8. Im doing a hybrid also.

Very nice and with the setup im doing i should be looking at around 300whp

Mr. Coupe...what are you doing, FI or All motor?

All motor all the way for me :) I still have some k24 stuff if you need it and another a2 tranny for sale btw...sold my a2 head already. I was doing the frank swap but changed my mind.....now just doing stock a2 block with slightly build head with a tune....that will still be good fo around 250+whp :)

Thanks guys!

No problem dude. Heres a pic of my civic right now. No clue how much the motor is putting down right now since i slapped a 100 shot on it. Just the motor was putting down 151whp.

[mr.coupe]

I've got a complete k24a4 long block for sale with low miles for $400 and a fresh k20a2 transmission for $750....plus some extra a2 cams and such...leme know if you need something

and heres some more of the old a2 block...and the crack...it may be fixable but not taking the chance! Everything is dissasembled and once the new block gets here i can put it back together....might send the head off for a hot tank and maybe get some cams.

damn, didnt realize the block was that bad. what all does that longblock include? harness? and stuff let me know because my roommate wants it.

[mr.coupe]

yeah it does have harness just missing the water pump housing...and thermostat housing...and crank pulley :) but thats why its only $400

yeah the a2 block was hit super hard...the k24 block is in the corner of that picture

[unitedelements]

not really sure about the lip but def. gonna have to check it out when its done

[ShawnZ]

mmmmm heart attack on a plate

[boosted s14.5 v2]

car is gonna be sick when its said and done.

[mr.coupe]
