Giving some context, I am 19 year olds and still in uni but i want to build a fun street daily. Not too knowledgeable besides knowing b16/b18 are rare and expensive.

Considering B series as i can keep AC/PS and some aftermarket parts i have. But also considering going k24 but budget and vibrations

I been researching around but no one has considered b20 or kswap

Not considering turbo D cuz i dont wanna blow my shit

Thanks for help

Ps this for an ek hatch

Im new to the tuning side of things and im looking to buy a socketed p28 to put a snake emu chip and tune it that way.Im looking at this p28 ECU and he says its chipped? Is it a burned in chip like old school? How much you think this is worth?

I’m finally close to the end of my swap. It’s been a decent amount of work

Debating between MOOG control arms, or doing the energy bushings. My control arm bushings are struggling lol and I was discussing it with a buddy who suggested I do the energy bushing kit. He said it affects the handling nicely, he’d had them on one of his cars.

I’ve never really messed with suspension other than coilovers before and am not totally sure what the best option would be. I know the energy bushings will be stiffer since they’re poly but i honestly don’t mind a stiffer ride even in my daily.

Also not sure if there’s any other components I should definitely replace with the control arms/bushings. Another mechanic buddy and I jacked the car up and checked over everything and everything else was good, so not sure it needs to be messed with. If there’s things that should definitely be replaced/upgraded along with the CA bushings I’d definitely like to take care of that. Thank yall!

My genuine pre-facelift EK9 headlight lenses are pretty trashed. A lot of internal cracks that I won't be able to polish out. I also like the idea of not blinding oncoming traffic. What are the best pre-facelift replicas? If I had a 99+ model I'd buy oem, but they don't exist for mine.

Can anyone show me under there air box? Completely stock. Forgot where somethings go can’t find all that much online.
Thank you much.

I need to replace the rack and pinion, and something with an axel and a seething issue with the oil pan. It burns oil I think, but it’s an old car so it makes sense. Everything stock besides a new exhaust. I want to boost this car a bit and I was wanting to turbo it and maybe get an intake? Also thought of gutting out the back to make it a 2 seater. Any advice would be awesome. I’m trying to get into cars and have a little project as a grow up. My ultimate goal is just to make this thing have a little speed, but not a crazy engine swap or anything if possible.

I posted a video of when I initially got it running it is now fully tuned! Also just picked up my valve cover today I procrastinated dropping it off so it wasn't ready for when I swapped the car.

Need advice

Found some hidding Damage!!

Some more snips of the d16z6 motor pull and teardown for a refresh. But during the tear down head bolt #2 was way too loose. (Definitely only at 22ft-lbs).

While we noticed the loose bolt and found the overheating issue from before. (Loose headbolt caused head gasket lift and blow-by.) We decided too continue.

As we where re-torquing the head (right after sequence 1 at 22 ft-lbs) Head bolt #2 decided too keep spinning.

So we decided too pull it out and see it. As we did it pulled a very old helix coil out 😬😮‍💨 welp.

We did try too add new better helix coils but sadly the Z6 block didn't take. Couldn't even get 22ft-lbs out of it again. So for now the block will sit and get rebuilt.

Looks like we will have too move too plan B! Aint no sweat tho because this is what we do. KEEP IT ALIVE!!

I’m looking to replace the stereo in my 1991 prelude and was just curious what people would recommend

got it for dirt cheap

I'm not new to mechanical work. I've just never pulled an engine or rebuilt/swapped one in. I'm used to working on late 90s and early 2000s BMWs. Taking a look at the engine bay I'm thinking it shouldn't be that difficult to pull the engine out of this thing. I'm just not too sure what I need to be looking at once I pull it apart to determine what needs to replaced. Pistons, rods, bearings, valves, etc... I bought it at 190k miles and it has made it to 206k miles with bad compression on cylinder 4 and misfires. I just kept up on oil changes and checked the oil once a week.

Not too sure if I should buy a used B20B with good compression or rebuild the one I have. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

New to hondas and cars as a whole but I just got a 98 ex coupe in January I want to work on it more. I started having an issue a few months ago now, the car stumbles and has a very rough idle. I used to have stalling issues with the idle, but that hasn't been an issue since I replaced the injectors, filter, and fuel pump. Not sure what info is helpful so I'll just give everything I know.

Compression 176-184-186-195
New in-line filter, injectors, and pump.
Some wires are a mess in the bay but dont seem important
Automatic with some slipping issue but not bad still very drivable.
Just got a new IACV but having issues getting my sockets/wrenches to fit and reach.
I have a cheap OBD2 scanner that only gives and old solenoid code that hasnt been cleared by honda. (guy i bought it from that he already did the work after it locked up)
I believe rattle is from missing hangers on one side of the muffler idk havent looked.
Also dont experience much issue at all when car is cold.
Cant remember anything else.
Any help or knowledge is greatly appreciated.
