#334874 Hello all This is My build a 93 Civic Ex Coupe! Project "Ejwone" I started this build 7 July 2006 the pics and Comments all came from my site that is now gone. I hope you dont mind me putting this up here.

Thanks for viewing!


Ok People I guess it is time to start My second Build, This time I am doing everything right so this will be a slow thought out process. I

will be doing a auto to manual conversion as well as a B18b1 swap into this car. I will also be doing some JDM parts installs and hopefully

if things go well a full suspension install.

This is "EJWONE' a 1993 Civic Ex Coupe

So here He is when EJ1Rider owned him.

Image

Image

Here He is on the trailer going home.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Here he is the first and last time for a while on the street with his gurl Elsie!

Image

Now the build begins, here are the before shots

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Crossed Drilled and Slotted Rotors came with it but there was this horrible noise when driving sounded like a bad axle, well it ended up being loose lug nuts and braking system. So I got 4 bad lug studs on the pass front.

Image

Image

I am taking the rotors to work with me tomorrow to resurface them I will then reinstall them on the car and prep it for the motor swap and conversion.

#334876 UPDATED 30 JULY 06

Ok so I got up this morning and I did not have plans to do anything with the cars today. Chrissy went to church and I was tired and stayed in bed well I got restless and got up got ready and went out side. I looked at the green coupe over and over again and I looked at what I had left to do.

It was not much just the drivers side axle and then the motor mounts so I got to it and I got it like this.

Up Up and away!
Image

Rollin to her standby spot
Image

Look Ma its empty
Image

Powered By Dina!
Image

Now to this!!!
Image

More Progress:

drivers side torque mount removed
Image

AC Compressor, condensor, fans and power steering removed
Image

right side all disconnected except for mounts
Image

Zero, Zip, Nada!
Image

Here is the setup as it sits, I want to Thank Chrissy for supporting me and my Dad and Daughter for setting up the tent thingy and getting me water, the sun has taken its toll on me and has won for today.

So I wont touch the car again until maybe friday or saturday after work.

Image

The Engine Bay is a little Dirty so I am gonna really Clean it up and Possibly do a Wire Tuck and maybe one or 2 other things.

#334878 UPDATED 6 AUG 06

OK I worked on the some of the little things that I can right now as money is tight, and this is just free elbow grease work that I could do. It not complete but it is a step in the right direction for me.

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

I am still debating whether or not to do a wire tuck, I dont think the engine bay is cluttered and I dont see the benefits of doing it. I might tuck the harness that is attached to the engine but again not sure yet.

UPDATED 13 AUG 06

Image

Ok so everyone knows what the trailing arms look like with drums
Image

This is what it looks like with out the drum and brake shoe's and the rear bearings on!
Image

This E-Brake cable will never be used again on this Coupe! Man is this a b**** to get out in one piece so I used a die grinder and cut it off!
Image

I disconnected the brake hose here since they won't need to be used any more either!
Image

Here He is with absolutely no rear suspension trailing arms are OUT!
Image

This is what will go on now! PIC FTW! OEM Bolts FTW!!
Image

4 of these will be needed 2 for each side!

#334880 UPDATED 22 APRIL 07

So today I figured I would finish the front suspension and start my wire tuck!

Image
Image

So since I have big fat hands I had my Girl do the wire tuck! Nothing was cut I depinned the connectors one by one and ran them thru the hole under the fuse box!
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

So here he is on his own suspension and its own wheels

Image

So this is how he looks right now due to the rain coming this week!

So on the 16th of July it was Officially 2 years and the Coupe is still not on the road! I wanted to get the engine done by the end of this month but certain things happened that I can not be sure and I really doubt It will be done this month.

Small update I had the Head at work and I removed the valve seals and cleaned up the valves the Exhaust valves were very dirty I also with the help of a Co worker Mike aka wantacoupe Lapped all the valves so they would seat really well with the head.

These pics were taken with my cell phone from work and just at the end of installing everything as I was only able to work on this while I had no work at work

Intake valve seals installed and Valves back in

Exhaust valve seals installed and Valves back in

Long story short I called Lionel when I got home he said he was gonna come over to help me with the coupe. I told Chrissy and she said but its Sunday you never work on the car. I said ok.

He showed up and we went to the garage my coupe didnt have a tranny in it cause I sold it to Jeff. Here are the pics

Yesterday Lionel and Mike helped me install the shift linkage which was not bent just had a bad stabilizer bushing! We installed the axles and filled the trans with oem MTF we had to replace the ignitor in the dizzy cause it ended up being bad! We then installed the A-pipe which most people call a down tube on the header!

I need to get more coolant fron work and finish the hoses for the cooling system that go to the throttle body!

I still have a oil leak from the Mfactory sandwich plate i have to remove it and see what it is.

STAY TUNED



UPDATED 22 NOV 09

Ok so today I wet out to the garage and worked on the car up on jack stands again! :(

So I took off the Mfactory oil block adaptor aka sandwich plate! I had used honda bonda on it before and looked like it had a leak because of it! So I removed all the honda bond and installed the gasket again with a lil bit of honda bond to hold the gasket in place!

Tightened everything up. And started up the motor. Five minutes later drip drip drip! So I saw it was leaking from the an fitting for the Vtec line and the block off plug.

Dusty4door aka Terence came over and motivated me to work on the car. T and I put teflon tape on all the fitting and installed the plate again! Bada bing! No
More oil leak but damn it now I got a coolant leak from the brand new water valve so I think I gotta buy a new one yet again! :(

So we tighted up all the suspension on the front I might have the car towed to my job and put it up on the lift and tighten everything up on the car once and for all but I will have to wait and see!

Thanks today to Kenny and Terence for there help!

UPDATED 03 DEC 09
Ok so i have this ticking noise from my head i know the valves are adjusted properly and the noise is there steve said its possible the lma lost motion assemblies could be the cause. So i will be removing the motor from the car soon putting it on the engine stand and replacing the lma's at the same time i will be fishing my engine wire tuck chasebay style and i am gonna paint the engine compartment.

I need to know if the d series power steering pump is the one i need with a gsr head and ls block i have a gsr upper pwr steering bracket installed and ls lower one. Or do i needs a gsr one? Will any d series on fit?

UPDATED 24 JAN 2010
So today I went to the garage and pulled EjWone out (towed strap attached to the Pilot) and hooked up the jumper cables from my S10 (aka Lil Green) to the battery in EjWone waited about 20 minutes to let it charge it up and I started him up! Let it run for about 1 hour and added 2.3 Gallons of 93 octane fuel from Pride. Let it run for about 30 more minutes and cleaned the garage once again. Then put him back in.

UPDATED 27 JAN 2010
So today I got some bad news from the Engine :ouch:! Not gonna post it but I can say EjWone will not be out this year! :sadwavey:

STAY TUNED

Updated 31 Jan 2010

At 10:26 AM on 27 Jan 2010

I Did cylinder compression test and found cylinder 1 to have 200 psi cylinder 2 to have 190 psi cylinder 3 to have 225 psi and cylinder 4 to have 225 psi

I then Did cylinder leak down test and found cylinder 1 to have 25% leak cylinder 2 to have 9% leak cylinders 3 and 4 were at 0%

I believe after talking with Jason from Suja1, Lionel and some people at work that I have a Valve that is not sealing properly, a burnt valve, a worn valve guide, or a combination of all of that.

For that reason EjWone will not come out this year and I am contemplating whether or not I should continue this build or give up all together! Its really slow at work and I work by the job not the hour I have not made more than 33 hours in the last 3 weeks. Chrissy has been there for me from the get go and we have recently bought her a car as her project car. We have the Pilot and the S10 as daily drivers.

I priced out the valve, springs, retainers and the machine shop job for the head. It totaled out to more than 850 dollars. So as of now EjWone is on the back burner again until I figure out what I will do with it! :sad:

So due to the bad compression results in cylinder 1 and 2 as well as the bad leak down results in the same cylinder I removed the head yesterday. I have a set of used gsr valves springs and retainers I got from a buddy at work who is building a turbo gsr motor for his Ej1. So now I dont know if I should change just the valves in the old head or transfer it all over to the new head.

Just a minor update today I took the Block I am building now to work and stripped it of all the parts it had in it in order to take it to the first machine shop who is going to inspect the cylinders for me and I know they will be good enough just to hone and install the pistons and rods I am picking up from Adam aka Naman. With Chrissy's Help I am hoping to get it done within a month! I will transfer alot of the new parts I have on my ls block over to the GS-R block!

I will be building a GS-R for my EjWone!

UPDATED 14 MARCH 2010
SO the GS-R Block is at the machine shop all is good!

Cost of Inspection of block $10.00
Cost of Cleaning the block $50.00
Cost of Honing the block $25.00

#334888 UPDATED 24 MAY 2010
So today I started my Vacation from work I had planned to have the motor out the machine shop by now and have everything I needed to get the car rolling by the end of the week! As luck would have it I can not do it due to financial issues. Its been slow at work lately and My bills are not up to date as of now! Last week I got a call from the machine shop and was asked to call them back and touch base on them with what is going on! So I called them back and was told that I need to bring in the connecting rods so that they can install the pistons on them. I said ok that I would take them Today because I was gonna be out of work for the week.

So today about 930am I went to the garage and got my used pistons and connecting rods. I grabbed the SuperTech Piston rings I had bought because I heard bad things about the Top Line piston rings but the pistons were good as OEM as I read online everywhere. I also grabbed my crank as I asked the Machinist to check it and polish it for me. Hopped in my S10 and drove to the Machine shop which is like 10 min from my house. Got there and looked at my pistons and was in AWE! Top Line Pistons are Identical to OEM only bigger to meet peoples needs. Gave him the parts I had and he said to me "You wanna take the block with you"? I said well I dont have any money for you today and he said you already gave me 100 right? Take the block as I need space in my shop. I was stunned! He said I will mount the pistons on the rods and check balance and polish your crank. I will give you a call when its all set.

This is what happened.
GS-R Block bored .50 over and honed inspected and cleaned. In the S10 on the way home!

This is how it looked when I got it on the engine stand.

UPDATED 11 April 2011

I sent the head to the machine shop cause I didnt want to do the work to it. Well after about 7 business days the head was still there cause the skunk2 retainers were making the OEM Keepers sit too low so they installed the OEM retainers but I had 3 of them still at home so I pick it up from them (Great shop by the way Springfield Auto Machine last know as Springfield Crankshaft, Tell Them Edwin sent ya if you use them).

So I picked it up and with the Help of Chrissy my wife, Illyana my oldest Daughter and Kenny one of my Best Friends we got the head together.

UPDATED 2 AUG 2011

So last Thursday I got my oil pan on after looking for some parts that were missing off the engine still cause its been so long since it was together.. I tried to get the engine on the engine stand out to my garage by my self and I dropped the engine and fell and ended up breaking my Toda Cam gears

Image
Image

I was so angry but it was my fault for not calling for help from anyone... Either way I went on installed my old cam gears went to the powder coating shop and pick up my Hasport Mounts

Image

My 11 year old son Junior helped me so much that day we bled the brakes on the car and installed the engine

So Today Junior was here with me again and I went and bought a F1 Racing Flywheel 9.5lbs
Image

We Installed it and my exedy stage 1 racing clutch then installed the tranny Now I usually get on my creeper and put the tranny on my chest then bench press it up and get it in...But Junior said dad I dont want you to get hurt lets use the cherry picker like we did with the engine I said you know what Junior that is a great Idea lets try it! Gotta say the easiest way I have ever installed a engine and tranny on a Civic from the bottom!

So on 2 September 2011 @ 1942 hours (7:42 pm) EjWone rolled out of the garage with Chrissy in the Passanger seat and me in the drivers seat. We took it to the local Hess Station cause that is were I get my fuel from always! We filled the tank with 93 octane fuel and took it out for the rest of the break in procedures!

First time I have ever driven my Coupe since I bought it! I took 5 years 1 Month and 17 Days for this to happen! I am so happy with it! I still need to work out some bugs with it!

Here are the few Pics!

On the way to Import Alliance I blew the head gasket on the engine. So a few days after we got back I received the OEM Honda gasket and replaced it. I checked the head and block for warpage and none was found! My EjWone on the road finally!
At its first autocross event.
Image
I came in 5th in my class which consisted of a Porsche Cayman, Honda Prelude, Mazda Miata, Subaru WRX, My EjWone, Volkswagen GTi, and Subaru Forester.

These were taken after its first autocross event on the way home.

EjWone before its last autocross this year... It didn't make it to that autocross due to technical issues I have yet to resolve.
