Man I wish I still had my jdm H, regret that sooooo much lol. Just wish I had an easier alternative to passing emissions with it besides registering my car somewhere else, looks good though. I'm suprised that's all the power you made with the jrsc considering you have it cammed and what not.
There is no cam installed. Stock block with a blower and other bolt ons. Meth injection, but no changes to the timing maps.
I actually just sold my Bisi camshaft.
Time to buy more stuff for the H!

Already bought the H23 manual tensioner conversion kit. Waiting on my timing belt to arrive as well.
Also, I am thinking about running a d series alternator since I am not sure if the H series one I have works. The adaptor plate is like $40 and a special belt I need can be had at autozone etc.

UGH headaches.
The ebay seller who was allowing me to ship the D series stuff for the H series stuff is not coming through. He has had the flywheel and **** since monday and has yet to ship anything out. We went back and forth multiple times.
Long story short. I offered to pay for a FedEx pick up and overnight service and they still couldnt help me. Currently, I am down a D series clutch/flywheel and $60 for shipping. I have already issued complaints with the BBB, Paypal, and I will begin to tell everyone on all the forums I am on to stay away.
eBay seller name - streetrays. Look him up on google. Every SINGLE review is bad. I should have known better I guess. I thought since I worked with him semi-consistently it would be a different story. He was extremely rude, and really didn't care about the fact that I spent over $1,000 with him in the past 2 months. I'll be lucky if I get my $60 back and the D series stuff now. I ended up buying a clutch kit from a local, and well known shop who will have it is tomorrow. Best part is, it is cheaper than the other quotes I have gotten. Instead of a lightweight flywheel, I will just go and get the OEM one re-surfaced for now.
Stay away from streetrays. make sure to pass it along to EVERYONE you know.

I used to deal with him before. Never had a problem. If I am bored enough, I will post up the convo from today. Apparently the owner of the company or something is on vaca and this was a fill in.
BTW, received the Omni 70mm TB and the H23 manual tensionor conversion kit!

Received the other clutch I bought, OEM flywheel, Skunk2 IM, Cam Seal, IM gasket, fuel rail, and exhaust manifold today!
Installed the IM/gasket (port matched to the TB), TB, cam seal, and fuel rail!
The exhaust manifold box says "h2b" on the sides written in sharpie pen. I am really hoping that the vendor did ship me the wrong manifold although I have a feeling he did.

Well, the vendor shipped me the wrong header. Delays delays delays. Hopefully, I can find a stock H22 header just to get by on until the new one comes in next week. The vendor will be shipping out a replacement header within the next day or so I believe.
Innovative F-ed up and never sent my mounts. After becoming upset due to the delivery of the mounts being promised for today, they agreed to overnight them via UPS Saturday delivery. Props to them for fixing it
Bunch of OEM gaskets/seals, as well as the Hasport axles arrived today! D16y8 motor will be pulled out tonight! Expect pictures probably once everything is all said and done, unless I have some down time where I can upload etc.
EDIT: After tonight, I am no longer the "only supercharged civic here". Kinda sad to say it, but oh well. It was fun while that lasted, gotta move on at some point, right?
