no pics as of yet caz my buddy still can't learn to drive stick, he stalls it, or peals out from the stop, and when he shifts gears he looks at the shifter and still ends up in 4th insted of 2nd :(
i did get to do a compression test on the car, and got 120, 120, 115, and 120. now keep in ming this b18b1 LS got 233 000 miles on it.
is that healthy compression?
yeah for 200k plus miles, but I would still swap the engine
in to another car or dif engine in to this POS?Quote:

I don't want this teg caz it's too far gone, but I'm considering geting the engine to swap in to a Honda shell I will be geting next year to build as a track toy. I would ofcourse rebuild the b18b1 from the ground up to handle 15 psiQuote:

If you get a honda shell and plan on building the motor for it just go for a K20 swap. It is worth every penny. With a properly built K20 you wont even need boost lol.
k20 is way to expansive, i have my heart set on b18 with 15psiQuote:
