Has the alternator been moved to the front using the old torque mount holes? Why is it moved?
Has the alternator been moved to the front using the old torque mount holes? Why is it moved?
H series motors dont have the torque mounts at either side like a B/D series honda engine it has one central where the gearbox mates to the engine.
Reason for the alternator being moved is it makes better space for running turbo, so it was either lose the PAS or the AC and as its a daily the PAS is more needed. The alternator will be mounted using the old AC pump holes.
Ahhh i seee, sounds awsome man keep it up manifold looks sweet.
Ok update time
Stripped the engine down over a week ago and dropped the block off at the machinist for the Darton MID sleeves fitting
some pictures of strip down,
picture of before balance shaft removal
Picture of stock sleeve block
And now some automotive porn. Darton sleeves, CP pistons & Manley rods ummmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks for looking
You don't hang about! Looking great. Will you be bracing you manifold given the size of the huffer?
wow. those liners look awesome!
This looks very interesting, will follow this with interest.
This is done by many of the drag style hondas in the states etc, they seem to get the power down and achieve very good 1/4 mile times. Check out youtube - they are awesome.

Engine machining porn at its very finest right there,we need a pic of the dartons filled with shiney piston goodness
And agreed snops there's some very quick civics (fwd honda powered stuff) out there
Cheers snops. the engine would be a very good in a light weight civic shell and make for a serious competitor in the FWD drag championships. will have to see what next year brings.
pick some extra tissues up in next weeks shop as if things go to plan there will be lots of automotive porn
A few month with out a update has it been that long :huh:
Anyway massive update engine is now built and sat waiting to go in. I just need to find time and get it back in the car.
Few more pics of the block during the maching stage

Some pictures during the build up
And heres how it currently sits in the workshop.
Thanks for looking and sorry for the delay in posting automotive filth
That's some nice work there.
Are you going to support the turbo and wastegate? I'f so how?
Well plenty has been happening
Made a alloy catch tank & turbo oil return still need to do a few bits on the catch tank once its found a home in the engine bay.
Also made the 3.5" downpipe and routed the dump tube back into the system. As screamer pipes are for people that beleave sound is speed
On the plus side of things thats the last time you will see the engine sat on the stand as its now in the car.:vtec:
More pictures tomorrow thanks for looking B)
That is impressive,some awesome work skills going on there
and lol at the first time the thing boosts up the box will die,600 will destroy it (anything over 350 would tbh)
there's a video somewhere of a drag civeek breaking its gearbox as in the casing shatters and the engine nearly hits the ground
got to look for it now
Ill make you a video lol stock ATR break gearbox's they drop 5th & reverse but there is something in the pipeline for another gearbox, balls out suspension set up and some aero to try get some downforce over the front traction issues.
On a side not note this car will always look stock and retain full trim including child seats and a push chair.
Your exhaust work is excellent. What sort of RPM is that turbo going to hit boost at? Has the displacement changed from fitting the sleeves?
Thanks. The displacement is still the same, as the bore in the dartons is less than stock you have to hone to suit your pistons. The turbo "should" start boosting around 4500rpm. considering a honda is dead unitll 5200rpm it shouldnt drive much different to stock off boost.
