is that a first gen?

tommytoes

No, just a first gen manifold cause mine was stolen by my brother about a year ago....came out of an eg6....but don't think the motor has been sitting around for a year together..the cylinders were bored about a month ago.

Civic2Scooby

thought I spied a first gen mani

tommytoes

I have a blockoff plate cause I'll use the 2nd gen throttle body.

Civic2Scooby

why not just get another eg6 mani? you can get them for like fifty bucks

tommytoes

This one was laying around in my random parts bin....50 buck is good....free is better ...and with a homemade block off plate and a couple of vacuum caps I can have the same effect....until I go for some major internal mods and can get a real intake manifold...

This is with the TB on....all fits nicely...although it's not the prettiest thing in the world

Civic2Scooby

pretty, no...effective yes:thumbup:


what all did you do to the motor? did you build it at all or was it just a basic rebuild?

tommytoes

Basic rebuild.... All new bearings, seals, bored .5mm, cleaned..It's pretty much a very basc but very thourough rebuild...
I basically want an engine that is factory reliable ....but I have plans on getting a dart b20 block for my long term big boy project.

Civic2Scooby

my buddy at payn technologies has a dart block in his itr....it is hella sweet. yeah when I get my b20 block I wanna rebuild my b16a as well, how much did it cost you to get it bored?

tommytoes

There's a machine shop here that did the bore/hone for 120....he did a good job too. they do a bunch of circle track car motors...so I kinda felt outta place but they were really cool...

Edge Brothers Machine Shop in Jacksonville NC ( PLUG!!!)
.....
And I am so convinced on the dart block and the price is a little unsetteling but from what I hear, it seems to be worth it.
