Thanks! I have been pumped to get this B20 Swapped for a while. This build is just starting. By the Time I'm done it will be covered In Carbon Fiber and ready to dominate Track Days.

Its a nice collection, I have Another D16z6 sitting in storage as awell as Misc D Series Parts, Tons of Sedan/Coupe Parts, and way to much more to list. I need to make a For Sell thread of all of it.

I Hope to have the Swap finished Tomorrow. But unless something goes horribly wrong It will definitely be running by the 5th.

The EK is currently a Rolling shell at my Uncles place, It is sitting on my Stock Delsol Suspension and 13" Steelies my Blue Sedan came on. I am going to get a new Door, and see how far the Unibody is, if its alot then I will fully strip it and scrap it. If its not off by much or at all I will do some body work on it, Pull the big dent or Cut/Weld in a a Quarter Panel, Throw in the z6 out of the Delsol, Give it a cheap maaco Si Blue Paint job then Sell it/trade for a 99-00 Sedan.

- Thu May 27, 2010 2:43 am #197059 Updates on B20 Swap


Made a o2 Sensor Extension. Basically went to a junkyard and snipped wiring off a wrecked car before and after the connector, then soldered the wires from both ends together to make it an extension Cable, Then Wrapped it in Split Loom.

Swap Issues:
[Phone Didn't Save Picture]
- Need to lengthen Shift Linkage, Already knew this would be an issue, just didn't realize how much it would such an issue.

Image
- I read online that you would use a D15b7 Dizzy on a B Series swap. That Isn't the case as the bolt holes are 180% Off from the B20 Dizzy. I am going to go the Junkyard and get more OBD1 Dizzy side plugs and OBD2 Wiring Side plugs and made a Jumper Harness for this.

Image
- Power Steering pump wont fit on the bracket. Not sure what to do about this yet.

Image
- Throttle Cable doesn't reach. Cables is currently in the throttle body, However I cant bolt it down. I will probably end up making a bracket extension to hold it in place.


Also need to take 11.3" from the EK Hatch Exhaust to make it to fit Taking one section of the exhaust to a muffler shop and have them cut and weld in a flange.

A Friend sent me a picture of Ep3 seats in a Delsol. They look pretty good in there. Since the Delsol Sits so low it might work out pretty well. When it gets home I will give them a shot.

More Updates as they come. :thumb:

i say get rid of your power steering and solve that issue :thumb:

Out of all Hondas I have driven with Power Steering, The Delsol Power Steering is the only one I really like. It has really good amount of feedback compared to the others, I'm going to do everything I can to keep it.

- Fri May 28, 2010 2:22 am #197312 on your throttle cable you can cheat it by taking the throttle cable bracket off the d series and the b series and bolt them together to make it reach the right spot it sounds ghetto but it works in a pinch

- Mon May 31, 2010 6:19 am #197905 Worked on the Delsol Today.

Some of the Cooler things done today was working with my Uncle and getting my Shift Linkage ready to go.

[Picture Removed at request of my Uncle]
Him turning over scrap metal on the lathe to within 1/1000th inch of the inside of the shift linkage pipe.

Image
Installing the Extension in the shift linkage.


Image
This is the Shift arm completed, Exactly 2 inches longer, the extension is within 1/1000" inch of the internal diameter and had to be pounded on. Then we welded the ends in place. This should be a Strong shift Linkage.

The other arm which holds everything in place had 2" extended into in the middle, Then after much trail and error of heating and bending this arm, we finally got it perfect!

We also heated up the Shifter and bent it over like the stock delsol linkage is. I wish I took more pics when I was working on the Linkage. Was really into getting everything ready to go

Image
Shifter sitting in the perfect place. Not bad for taking EK Shift linkage and short shifter and modifying it to work in a Delsol. In case your wondering why the delsol takes so much custom work its because the inner tunnel is much higer then EG's or EK's to help with structural integrity.


Onto the other fronts. The B20 has all coolant lines hooked up to it and the Transmission sitting nice with 1.9 quarts of Pennzoil synchromesh. The Tranny shifted like butter, However with Synchromesh it will stay that way.
Image

Image
Took the throttle cable out of the EK and installed it into the Delsol. This was so much easier then I thought it would be.

Image
Made a OBD1-OBD2 Distributor Adapter and plugged it in.

The swap is winding up and Its really darn close to being ready to go.

Work left to do:
>- Put Oil in B20
>- Fill Coolant System with 50/50 Antifreeze/Water
>- Install Header and hookup o2 Sensor
>- Fabricate Power Steering Pump Mount
>- Jack up Delsol and take off Jackstands
>- Install Longer Vacuum hose for Fuel Pressure regulator
Image

If my dad feels upto it tomorrow, We will have the Delsol Running.
