91 si hatch jdm trpe r swap

I just wanted to share a pic of my 91 si hatch that I swaped in a 97 type r motor and tranny. Thanks to lady n red si for the help. Please excuse the wiring and battery sitting there. I just got it running last week.http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x320/bigchris2000/IMG_0701.jpg

looks like u did a good job...the skunk2 on the valve cover looks good. Let me kno what it runs @ the track!

ah another fellow tahitian green! nice lookin swap i need to put a radiator like that in my car..i hate how much space the stock one takes up..lets see some more pics of the car

Looks awesome but what's with the super long hose from the radiator to the overflow container? You probably could've gotten away with running it along side where it says "Fluidyne" (zip tie to frame by headlight) to keep it out of the hood's way and then connect it to the overflow (you can reposition the cap of the overflow to any direction). It just looks rather excessive sitting over the engine like that IMO.

rock on! :ylsuper: i'm happy for you! you would be supised how many people ask me questions and then don't follow up on doing it.

after you get some time in behind the wheel, let us know what you think :naughty:

EDIT: by the way, you owe whoever told you the cable speedo won't work a big fat :nutkick:

looks good...someone should do a wire tuck :thumbsup:

Thanks for the thumbs up. As far as a wire tuck I like the looks, but this is no show car and I think it would be harder to work on if you have electric problems later on down the line. As far as my overflow hose. Yes its long, but I just got this car running last week. All the clean up is being done this week.
Honestly I think the car runs good, but is no means fast in my book after driving my 400 whp 05 Evo that I no longer own. Call me crazy but the car is getting a turbo and a meth kit next month.

Here are some more pics. A work in progress. http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x320/bigchris2000/IMG_0706.jpg

never understood why people get a b18c and turbo it

you would be supised how many people ask me questions and then don't follow up on doing it.


That would be me! I've asked her so many things and haven't done any of it yet. I am finally getting that B18A1 slowly in the hatch.

Even with the excess wires/hoses, the car is clean...lots of shiny new parts.

very nice!

minus the excessive hoses...VERY clean and sweet =)
