Ryans Official "Build Up" Thread

[Sundown]

Yea, I know Ill need more than whats listed. I already have the tranny itself, the other linkage is on the way, already have a clutch resevior. What other little odds and ends do I need? (Sorry, Im still asleep. To early for me. )

Right now, this is what my pile of parts looks like..
Trans with clutch fork and TO bearing
Shift linkage w/ stabilizer bar
Shifter w/ bushings WITH b***h pin
Flywheel/Pressure plate/clutch
flywheel bolts
pressure plate bolts
slave cylinder
Hydraulic lines (there are two that fit together to make the entire line from clutch resevoir to slave cylinder)
Reverse light sensor
Manual Vss
Manual starter with long bolt
Top transmission bracket (part that goes on trans)
Torque mount with 3 long bolts to hold them on
axles ( you can use the auto ones)
Pedals with all sensors and pins ( you can reuse the gas pedal)
some type of wind plate (you're going to have to cut a hole, and you're going to need a plate to go over it)
2-3 quarts of MTF

and that's for a car with 3 wire iacv.. the list would be even longer if I had to mess with the iacv and intake manifold. But truly, if you take your time, and gather the parts little by little, its not that bad.

funny thing is, I have all that crap sitting in my dorm room right now..

 

[Szady]

Damn...my list isnt that long....

 

[Sundown]

Its not that bad man. Ive been collecting for a loooong time.. A part here, a part there.. Also I was deal shopping. I got a trans, starter, both sensors, TO bearing, fork and clutch/pp/flywheel with all bolts for like 225.. Trans has ~88K miles and the input shaft has NO play whatsoever and engages smooth as butter.. But I had to drive 4 hours one way to get it

Just go down the list, and get everything you need when you can . Keep your eye to the honda-tech marketplace, cc marketplace, and the junkyards. The b***h pin cost me 2.50 at honda, so i got it there. Tranny fluid can be had there too (obviously).. Look for other things that are cheap there. If my clutch/flywheel isnt usable, ill be going to autozone to get one of their kits since i get a discount. Just shop around

 

[Szady]

So far, I need:
TO bearing
Flywheel/Pressure plate/clutch
flywheel and Pressure Plate bolts
Hydro lines
Reverse light sensor
Manual Vss
Manual starter with long bolt
Top transmission bracket
Torque mount with 3 long bolts to hold them on
Clutch pedal sensors

So far, I have:
tranny
shifter
linkage
P28 ECU
Clutch Cylinder

I best get going, huh?

 

[Sundown]

and flywheel cover with 4 bolts.. dont want dirt and s**t getting in your clutch area..

Yeah, get it done! you'll thank yourself Let me show you where I got my stuff so you can "speed up" your search because for me, finding these parts was worse than an easter egg hunt blindfolded especially since i had to buy some of this stuff twice

trans with starter, clutch fork, all sensors, all bolts -- 225 picked up but you can junkyard the bolts and sensors
slave cylinder -- autozone 12.99
top trans bracket -- junkyard
clutch/pp/flywheel with all bearings-- autozone $140 lifetime warranty ftw
hydro lines -- junkyard
torque mount -- junkyard
pedals -- some guy parting his car out in Maryland $35 for all 3, even though i only need 2
flywheel cover -- will come from the junkyard (free) or honda-tech ($10 shipped)

since you're going boost, you can buy whatever clutch/pp/flywheel set and just get the bearings whereever.. they're not that expensive..

 

[Genuine Rolla]

Any news..?

 

[Szady]

Not yet bro. Im going to the junkyard tomorrow morning to pull more parts. Ill take pics when I get done.

 

[Szady]

Finally have an update.

Got the brake and clutch pedal installed, and put in new B18a1 fuel injectors. Will have pics up later tonight.

 

[Sundown]

lol, i went to honda today and they told me it would take weeks for me to get my b***h pin... but I was told that a b***h pin = 8mm "roll pin" that can be had at a few hardware stores so im going to check that out and that's maybe something else for you to look into if you havent already..

s**t, you move fast

but you also have more resources

Actually, I havent really used my "resources". All the stuff I have came from the junkard. I do work at a Honda dealership, but I havent utilized it yet.

FYI: 5th Gen Civic pedals/brakets WILL fit and work in a 6th Gen Civic. I should know, thats what I did.

Yes, I know.. 5th gen civic, 6th gen civic and 94-01 Integras all use the same pedal sets
Also, they all use the same slave cylinders..

for you starting your build like 3 days ago and being almost done, when I started months ago.. Its all good though.. Proving the "its a worthless swap, just get another car" people wrong ftw

 

[Szady]

A LITTLE update on page one. Got my intake manifold Im going to use for the 5spd swap. Its a JDM D15b Vtec intake manifold. Its huge.

 

[Silver Bullet]

damn i want to do this so bad....how much is this costing you...make a price list dude

 

[Sundown]

honestly, it can cost you anywhere from 300 to 1000.. It all depends on what transmission and clutch/pp/flywheel you get and if you have hookups..

 

[denracho]
