Enjoy Your 1993 Honda Civic Like No Other

I haven’t had much time to do any work on my 1993 Honda Civic for a while now but I still drive it daily and every time I get behind the wheel I get excited. It’s not the excitement of a new car or 500 horsepower but instead it’s the fact it works great and [...]

D16Z6 Block and Parts are Back From Machine Shop

I finally got my D16Z6 engine block back  from the machine shop yesterday and took a bunch of pictures to post up the blog.  As you can see the Block Guard is nicely installed in my D16 Block. The machine shop did a very nice job on boring and honing out the cylinders. After the top [...]

D16Z6 Block Sent to The Machine Shop

My D16Z6 block has been sent to the machine shop and hopefully I get it back in a week or two so I can start building the motor. Once I get my block back I should start posting more updates regularly so come back to my site soon or register for my RSS Feed to [...]

Staring off 2009 Kinda Slow

It’s the 9th of January and this is my first post of 2009. I’ve been lacking on posting updates on the blog as I haven’t been doing any work on the RC D16 Turbo Build or any type of work on my Honda Civic. Ever since the 19th of December we have been hit by a ton [...]

Getting Through The Holidays and The Crazy Snow Fall

The XMAS holidays were very different this year with Rocky’s passing and the crazy amount of snow, so I wasn’t really into doing anything on my RC D16 Turbo Build. I had 2.5 feet of snow over the week so I spent a lot of time just plowing my driveway. XMAS eve was great to [...]

First Snow of the Season and My 1993 Honda Civic Does Well

We’ve had our first big snow storm this season and my Honda Civic drives pretty good in it. I swapped my wheels back in October to my old 13″ steel wheels and added a set of snow tires upfront and a good pair of all seasons on the rear.  She’s a bit lower then a [...]

D16Z6 Bottom End Parts Are Here!

My D16Z6 Turbo build parts finally arrived today and man did I have a smile on my face after opening the box. The Vitara pistons and I-Beam rods are of great quality and craftsmanship and the block guard looks nice too. I have all the gaskets that I will need to redo the bottom end now [...]

D16Z6 Block Notching Side 2

After 2 more hours I finally finished notching the cylinders yesterday. I went through a bunch of grinding bits as some fell apart from cheap glue and others just got used up after intensive grinding. The I-Beam connecting rods should work fine now with the vitara pistons but if needed I can always touch up any cylinders that [...]

D16Z6 Block Notching Side 1

I finally got some time tonight so I went ahead and took out my dermal drill and started notching the cylinder walls. It’s not a hard job to do but takes lots of patience and a steady hand. I had to swap a few sanding stones to get the botom side done so for the opposite [...]

Block Notching and Thread Chasing

The next step while waiting for my pistons and rods to arrive is to chase all my threads and to notch the bottom part of my cylinders. The notch is 3/4″ wide, 1/4″ deep and 1/4″ down the cylinder wall. The reason I need to notch the cylinders is because the I- Beam connecting rods [...]

D16Z6 Sandblasting Done and Bottom end Parts Ordered

I sand blasted my D16Z6 block, cylinder head, intake manifold, and valve cover today and man do they look sweet now. Once I do the machining and put the bottom end internals in I intend to paint the block. I haven’t picked a color yet but I’m thinking of a high heat orange-red, but this is still [...]
