Holy shit what a day! Get ready this is long!

Update, I didn't get any pics. But I did get a lot of headaches! We started working on this thing at like 9am and didn't get done 'till like 6pm. The motor was on the ground at first, took all the axles and stuff outta the other hatch, took mine out, then we forgot you can't use the front mount with the LS. So we were going to bang it outta the way for a bit untill I could cut it off, but then we thought that he's gonna need the mount for his car (that my old mini-me is going in to) so we had to swap the front crossmembers 'cause his was shaved off nicely for the LS. Then we get the motor in, we had problems with the rear mount, took a while but we got it in nice. We went to start hooking up the wire harness etc, and some of the wires were down to like 1 strand and broke out of the connector, so we had to take em apart and recrimp a couple wires etc. Then we got the dizzy on and it had a wire missing just hanging out of the hole it was supposed to be in. Luckily we had an old one there, we just popped that one out and popped in the new one. Then the intake had all these open spots where on the other intake we had, they looked like they were sealed off from the factory. Soooo....????????? Anyway, skipped that-gonna plug em up later or use the other manifold. Then we get down to put the axles in and they dont fit! FUCK! We then had to swap out all the hubs and shit from his hatch, the axles went in, got all that back together. Then we wanted to turn the motor over with the synthetic oil dropped down in the motor to wet the rings a little 'cause the motor has been sitting a while. He hooked up the battery while I was in the car and told me to try to crank it.....nothing. Then I get out and smoke is like comming out of the back of my engine somewhere! So we try to figure out wtf is going on. The line comming out of my NOS solenoid was very hot. Odd. Seems that the nitrous line was hitting the intake manifold and was burning. WTF? THE NITROUS LINE HAS NO POWER!? We disconnected the battery cable and looked some more, found out the starter was shorting out the whole block. We took it advance auto parts and they tested it and it almost burnt the place down lol, it was doing the same thing when it was on my car. So I ordered and new starter and pretty much have to go from there tomorrow. Linkage, radiator, starter, wires, plugs, intake and we should be good for test #2. Lovely

no offense to the guys that have one, but where i live thats all there is here, b16 that , b16 this, im sick and tired of freaken b16, yeah tru they make whopping high hp, but look how much you got to spend to get that, thats crazy, and if your mommy and daddy and put down 3gs ona motor, then good for you, with 3gs in an LS, i have hella options, thats y im doin ls all the way

it did not even cost me 3 gs to get my hatch and do the b16 swap with a few mods

[quiXilver]

i was goin b16, but this deal I couldn't pass this deal up.

i just hope this motor i bought lasts long enough for me to rebuild the other block. i just ordered my jdm b16 pistons, rings, bearings, clutch/8lb aluminum flywheel combo and a good head gasket.

[Bakla0stha]

hey !M!}[
i was wasnt emplying that u need to spend 3gs to fix up a car, it was just an example. it be nice to have 3gs to fix my car
like i said Ls in a CRX well dominate!!!

Update...

Well we put the new starter on, linkage, radiator etc everything back up and ready. So everything works great except the motor

It actually idles and everything, just there is water mixing with the oil, and it doesn't rev to high. I think it's the head gasket don't you? I've already ordered one so I'm going to replace that and see what happends. Anyone got a link to all the torque specs for the LS head? Thx.

[quiXilver]

Update. Took the head off, the gasket didn't seems bad so I'm wondering if he overheated it and warped the head. I'm going to have it checked out.

BTW the motor we took out, we put in that guys hatch, and he's letting me drive it around So now I have a nice lil dark blue hatch with HX's. I'll put some pics up tomorrow for all you hatch lovers =)


Question. Is there anyway to tell if a block is cracked on the inside? Thx ahead of time.

[1PhatCX]

you might be able to see cracks in the cylinder walls. i'd yank it out again and strip it right down and check it over completely... trust me, its worth it

[civickiller]

magnaflux the block, take it to a machine shop and see if the block and head are straight.

civicHBsi91, i thought you were a d series man, i remeber you going off about how d series rule and b series suck and all that. haha u cant resist the DOHC side

[2ndb18]

Why do you even mention the ZC. Its the most garbage engine ever.

[civickiller]

yes i use it loosely, because its more of a joke then being serious. i know about the zc and it being dohc, i just dont like that motor so i dont include it.
