Honda Powered Nissan :-)
So im sure most of you have seen, ive been trying to sell my motor, because of cylinder wall damage. To my luck, and thanks to DDS, the cylinder walls are all good!! lol. So needless to say i can finally take a deep breath, and thank the auto gods someone didnt buy this motor from me.
The rebuild has started with some minor work done a while back: Things to come: New oem h22 pistons 87mm Piston rings Headgasket (stock) Rod bearings (ACL race bearings) Seat rails (finally) Tub the fenders New rear bumper new paint job :-) Ordering the pistons this week, then ordering the rest next week. So hopefully by the end of the month ill be up and running..Its been a long time coming. This was some bad shit..Cracked ring lands on every single piston on the intake side Quick shot of the k24 (tsx) crankshaft (99mm stroke) H22 pistons 87mm..The whole idea of this 2.4 coversion was to reduce rotational mass. By converting it to a short rod conversion, (stock rods 6.626", h22 rods 5.630 if my memory serves me correct) it reduced rotational mass by 20-25% More pics to come, falling asleep typing this lol.

Thanks guys, and sorry about the pic problem, tried to copy & paste from another forum.
I cant take complete credit for this swap, it was originally built by Design Craft Fabrication of Cali, famous for quite a few things, including this car. I bought the car as is, im not sure if anyone remembers the car was on the cover of Super Street a few years back. Its been a bit of a headache, had problems when the car came to me, which i expected since it sat for two years. I had leaky injectors Cracked manifold Fuel filter problem, broken drive axels, rats nest of wires behind the dash New rear wheels, Re positioned body kit And the lists goes on and on Im going to update this thread with more detailed pics of everything, ive taken so many since ive had the car (6 months) I didnt explain in the previous post the details of the motor for those of you who are curious about it. Ap1 s2000's are a beefy 2.0, but lacks in tq (like most hondas) When they make it a 2.4l the tqless honda motor went out the window. This motor makes max power at 3800 rpm with the gt28rs attached. Heres a few more pics, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask, ive been waiting for months to start posting about the car, so im up for conversation Once i start posting more ill list a parts list of the car, and give some more detailed information.Thanks again guys! Decided to paint the block all black, with white valve cover (im a fan of the tuxedo look :-)) This was my injector situation when i got the car Oh no!!!, could it be? Is it true? YES!!!! a HONDA motor that makes tq..on cracked ring lands------>to the haters More to come, feel free to ask any questions, i just joined this site yesterday i think?? so im a big |

just an update: Found a piston/pin set for 31.14 a piece. Which is the cheapest i have found. Im a little concerned though about the quality.
Why does majestic honda sell only a piston for 47.97 a piece, and this site sells a piston with the pin for 31.14? Anybody have any warning about some of these OEM parts sites? |

Can't believe this hasn't received a bit more attention than it has so far. It's still starting though i suppose. Good luck! Definitely an interesting build....Now lets see some quick progress.

Alright its been quite a while since an update and have quite a bit of progress.
The Motor: Getting all the parts for this motor was a bit of a challenge because its not an f20 bottom end. Finally got it all situated and had the following parts new put in. Pistons/Rings-H22 Rod Bearings-K24 Head gasket-OEM 10:7 Compression Installed all new turbo gasket and seals that were needed The motor has BC stage 3 cam on it, and will most likely remove it because of potential back flow issues against the valves. I also have a log manifold on this, which will get removed in the future, to a ram horn style manifold. The Car: Decided to go with Taffeta white. Its the same white found on 06+ civic/92 integra Went with a single stage paint which i had decent success with, but some sanding is needed. Single stage is the nastiest shit i have ever sprayed, its like elmers glue coming out sticking and destroying any thing it touches. Found a new Origin rear bumper, which has been a PITA to fit. One side is on, now i just need to heat and push in the second side. PITA!. The Valve cover was also painted the color of the car with a blacked out engine bay. I decided to go with a Tuxedo/Penguin theme. Progress as of now: Motor was installed a few weeks back and I began having a cranking issue. Power supply was shotty to begin with, so when trying to crank the fresh motor, i was running into issues. The wiring on this car is so beyond fucked up i cant even explain. My "fuse box" is located on my dash with pop fuses for quick fixes on track days. Not a bad idea, but the problem occured when some wiring components were changed leading to 10 different things either not being hooked up, or hooked up improper. I finally said the hell with it, and ripped my power supply out of the car. Needless to say my power supply was the lleading cause to all of this. My starter wire is WAYYYY to small. So i tanked everything out and am going to the store to buy new wire today to re-do the power grid. The battery will be re-located from the trunk to behind the passenger seat right below the kill switch. Still have to tidy up, throw on the exhaust and ziptie loose ends. Will be a few days on progress of the wiring. I thought about going the Painless route, but have seen issues with fellow nissan owners after a few year of using them, and decided to just add my own fuse box. Will keep updates more frequent now, thanks for looking!! I have TONS of pics, but am only posting a few. Quick shot of the KAAZ 2 way, i think i have an input shaft seal leaking, but decided the hell with it and will fix it later. These 2 ways are sooooo fucking loud its insane. Little bling on the cover New pistons! Honed cylinder walls Stripping the wrinkle off the valve cover..Nasty shit MOTOR REBUILD thanks to kyle of DDS performance of LAS VEGAS. Shined up some aluminum on the car (these are my heater lines for my radiator) This fan shroud is sooo dope little paint action Had a relaxing day starting with body work, ended up throwin the engine in this biatch Thats me BTW! Yea those little white things behind the clutch fork are spider eggs, apprently my project has taken a bit too long lol. Didnt have a clutch alignment tool and most of the autozone ones are junk so we decided to wing it, and presto! Yes im a real mechanic, white shirt and flip flops!! Eat it OSHA It came out of the car this way, and damnit its going back in the same! I know most of you are thinking wtf r u doing take off the drive shaft!! Its actually easier because the transmission is beefy on this and its impossible to fill the trans on the car I have no clue what happened here This is where the "mother f*** car" starting coming in. The transmission has NO room for error when going in, so the motor decided to start shifting as it when it requring some muscle to force it onto the motor mounts. All in all this took about 3 hours from start to finish, but it finally made it in! Transmission mounts This is the progress as of today, the electrical tape you see is where 2 different power wires come together, how the fuck this started in the first place is beyond me. Thats all for now guys, will throw some more pics on here later. Thanks for looking!! |

I used Rust-oleum painter touch Ultra coverage Be sure to clean it really well and try to hang the cover if possible when painting it. Just make sure you tape the back of the cover (where it seats to the diff housing). Be sure to get all little crevises on the diff so it turns out clean! |

(Being removed, Looks awesome but its inpractical) The "oem stroker kit" i mentioned above is exactly that. This was done by Design Craft Fabrication www.DesignCraftFab.com also known for the infamous i-vtec s2000. The block consist of the following: 99mm Crank-k24 (Tsx) 87mm pistons-h22 (prelude) Converts the f20 stock long rod conversion into a short rod 2.4l stroker. Average gains of stock motor are in the 220-240Whp. W/ Turbo 300++. http://www.turbomagazine.com/insidet...tor/index.html Thanks for looking! Modified crossmember to fit oil pan of f20c. Love this exhaust, you can literally pick up the whole exhaust from downpipe back with 1 hand easily. Favorite part of the car Like day two of owning the car....Need of some TLC This is what the wiring looked like before it was half assed taped and organized Yes thats a delco remi 88' ford f250 horn. And yes its obnoxious as all hell. Long agoooo lol, this was the new manifold being put on, it threw the down pipe off by a few degrees so i had the midas touch on it for $10 and it turned out great Yes i decided to sell my soul to devil as well after the interior was painted a different color then that f**** gold! After it was painted, i used truck bed liner. After working in the trunk the last few days i basically destroyed it, s im gonna tag it again. Little Formula D Round 5! Dusty and dirty from sitting for 6 months of minimal work. Thats all i have for now, i have 1000+ pics just have to find them.Enjoy! |

Its alive!
My old tuner is a fucking idiot, and needless to say i had 8 milliseconds of fuel pulse with the motor off, so everytime i would hook up the coil packs and PUT they key in (not even crank)....BANG!!!!! BANG!!!!!! and that was followed by smoke and a partial heart attack. So my new tuner came over and wiped his map out and loaded a base map and presto! 9 months later and it runs.. Sounds the best ive heard it. Just did a warm up session and wont drive till the dyno session which will b soon! All and all im 99.9% there, with very minor thigns left to do. |

Made 280hp-240tq on load setting......Not inhertia mode, so those numbers are real world.
This is only at 9psi and on 91 octane. Ive barely even tapped into the potential of the motor. To start with, i wanted a simple reliable tune. E85 swap will take place in april and will yield WELL over 300hp-tq.......Car wont even stay straight in third gear, with boost hitting at 3500rpms, its instant power at whatever point its needed. |
