Hello all and thank you for taking time to look at my thread. I heard about a car my unit commander had recently blown the motor in, so i asked him what it was and how much he would part with it for. Turns out it was a 90 Civic Hatch with 265k on and a d15b2 with a bad oil leak and a snapped camshaft. He told that if i got it out of his driveway i could have it for $100. So... i took it.
Here is what the car looked like when i got it in our motorpool.



got future plans for a b18a1 that i already have purchased and i should have my gasket kit to replace all the gaskets on wednesday.

 

Nice that you get to use the motor pool. Wish I had that kind of connection, lol

 

Looks to be in pretty good condition. What are the plans other than the motor swap?

 

Haha, I got my civic [The same thing] from some dude in the army, he had just blown the motor and sold it to me for 350 Good times, I love mine good luck on the build.

 

future plans after the swap are turbos and then mainly paint and body mods including the 17X7 voxx wheels i just got for $100

and so you guys can see the pics of the old and new motors
OLD



NEW!!



ill have more pics soon just waiting on a gasket set to finish up the b18 and drop it in

 

Not a fan of any wheel's over 17's on a Civic, but it's your car man, and the valve cover looks good.

 

as you can see the body needs some tlc. anyone got any ideas for me

 

Nice to see another white EF hatch. =)
Can't wait to see more.

 

there will be more to come very soon as my gasket kit got here today so tomorrow the b18 is getting assembled. ill post pics of the progress

 

now the build is on hold due to the fact that the guy who sold the b18 to me failed to mention that some of the cam caps were missing. so can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to get them besides a junkyard?
