Rebuild kit?

[CRX_Civic]

Its for my engines class at MSCTC. i need to build, rebuild a engine. so i thought it would be a good idea to to the engine outta my civic. 206,xxx miles, smokes a little, leaks a little more, and it will be parkd for winter anyway. i would like to do a boost build but i need to start it within 2 weeks, so that leaves me know time to save some $. so yea, any ideas on cheap/good parts i can get in 2 weks

Roughly how much money do u have to spend?

[BlackEJ8]

^yeah building for boost can get pretty spendy...what do you plan on replacing?

off topic but Im pretty sure I saw you/your car while I was on a campus visit at msctc.

[CRX_Civic]

idk how much power, enough to make pontiacs look stupid but be able to withstand driving everyday. i could have mabey 1000$ by the time i need it........were did u see my car, cuz if it was when i had it on the hoist it was pretty nasty...

seals are expensive, no way around that. But rings/bearings are cheap and someones gotta have em in town.

ebay, get a full set of ACL rod, main, and thrust bearings for like 60-80 shipped. rings will come with some vitaras if he goes that route, they also sell a kit that come with pistons, head gasket, timing belt and some other crap too. get some TT rods, and a bottom end gasket kit for like 170 dollars from honda. these are just the prices off the top of my head, my prices are inaccurate cause i always get ill deals

hone and notch that bitch and your ready to go.

Yea, you can build a D-series for boost for around $500 if you search for a bit, easily $700-800. Look around, ACL bearings off ebay, vitara pistons, eagle or TT rods, misc seals and gaskets, you are looking at $700 and a set up for 400 whp.

Take spanish-rice and inspectors advice...they know how to build the d's for boost...if I ever went that route these are the guys i'd go to

[CRX_Civic]

k so im lookin at pistons. most are 75mm, wich is the stock bore? some are 75.5mm. or other overbore sizes, should i get 75mm or should i get oversize, or...do i have to wait untill i measure my cylinder to see if it needs to be bored.

[inspector01]

Take apart the block and check out the cylinders to make sure they are ok and then get stock bore vitaras(75mm). Order them from FJT, he is a huge seller on all the forums like d-series, hmt, h-t. Then tuner toys or eagle rods, and then a gasket set from wherever you choose, ARP headstuds, and you are golden.
