It runs!
Yes, you heard it... She's back. And just in time for my B-day!!!
The only things I have left are get an INDUCTIVE timing light WITH ADJUSTABLE DIAL... And I gotta get a new distributor cuz mine leaks on the inside... not exactly fun... but DEFINITELY driveable.
And after a little over 150 miles I can say this... The computer makes a LOT of difference... for instance, I have a p28 with a Skunk2 DOHC chip in my DA (Yes, a DA baby) And it's real funny.. I've never seen a car have such crappy low end. LOL granted, with it not even close to being broke-in yet... And an LS tranny (longest gears in the world... like putting a 1:1 final drive in a sohc civic)
It has absolutely TERRIBLE low-end... And then for some reason at 4 grand, it pulls. it pulls NICE ;-)
And, of course... Then I shift cuz I don't wanna blow up a brand new engine.
Burping VTEC was fun at 4800 rpms. :thumbup:
Anyhow, for all you guys that weren't around to help or didn't pay attention... here's the lowdown...
B18A block, 11.5:1 compression JE pistons, Eagle rods
B16A head, ITR valvesprings/retainers, b16a cams (gay)
And... once again, let me reiterate... IT'S RUNNING.
Thank you all for your help/information/support.
Later I'll make a video of me going around a turn that's "Recommended speed limit" is 20 mph and I take it at 100 kilometers, which is roughly 60 mph.

Haha... Well let's hope that won't happen... But if so I won't sell it cuz I know a guy with a black g2 that will let it go for $2000.00 and I'll just swap ;-)

Haha, thanks... I'm still working the kinks out right now... my air/fuel is all to hell... I need a dyno tune BAD.... like BAAAD.
It COULD also just be my ignition but I don't think so. I've replaced everything but plug wires and my plug wires are APC ones (yes, I know... I hate APC myself but Cole Honda didn't have any VTEC plug wires.)
