My 1990 Civic DX Track Build - B20B EF Hatchback

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I meant "Innovative" mounts!! I also forgot the EX master cylinder, 40/40 valve, DA rear disc, and front upper and lower Energy Suspension control arm bushings. 😀

[@robsmack1374]

Garage Built Hondas: with the remainder of this year and part of next 2018 I won't be able to do my rear suspension swap out. But are the 500lbs rear springs a hard feel?

[@robsmack1374]

Garage Built Hondas: where can I send you pics?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Robert Shawiak yes, not recommended for daily use. Stock are probably 120-150ish, most aftermarket are 250-350.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Owen McClure Really appreciate that Owen, that's my goal for the channel!!

[@baddestburrito]

If eyes could get drunk, I'd be getting drunk daily on your videos, Jon. Not only do you do justice to the EF platform, but you polish it, improve it, and evolve it, in perfectly appropriate ways. You have great taste, and it translates into mods that all contribute to the base you started with. If only all car guys had your good judgement.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Baddest Burrito Thanks for the vote of confidence, love to hear it! I'm doing my best!

[@benmiller9854]

I'm a proud owner of a 1989 civic si. Ls/vtec fully built. 20+ years of aggressive street driving. Restored 10 years. You would drool.

These build overviews are a great reference to see how other people are prepping their track cars. Thanks Jon!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Christopher Bye Thanks, glad you liked the video!

[@ryan_riffs]

I can vouch for the supertech valve seals. I put some in my b16 this past summer and put several miles on it without any startup smoke at all! Nice vid Jon, this is a really cool project car.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Ryan Riffs Thanks Ryan! Don't think I'll ever use any other brand either on those seals.

[@robsmack1374]

Your 90 hatch track car is the most impressive, aggressive looking and sounding EF. I love it! I hope my simple 89 hatch will be as nice as your by next year after I pull my CRV B20

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Robert Shawiak thanks so much for that!! I'd live to see it!

[@craigiefconcert6493]

I had a 1991 four door civic sedan. It was made in Japan with manual transmission and no tachometer lol. I like that hatchback better and I like that lip.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Nice, fun cars!

[@MumbleVlogs]

This goes to prove that you can have a clean and simple build that works well overall

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Mumble the only goals for this car!!

[@robsmack1374]

Yes his ride is simply sweet

[@unliv3d]

This car is an inspiration for my 91 DA. It has a tired old B18A1, needs a paint job badly, has expensive mods where it matters and eBay elsewhere (such as lips), still running OBD0 on a chipped PR4. Can't wait to swap in a high compression B20 and throw on some coilovers. Gotta love purpose built cars whether it's a daily or a track car. Or both. 😎

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Unliv3D your DA sounds exactly like this car in 2015. I had the A1 and ran it so hard and it never once let me down. It smoked like crazy, hence the "black dragon" name of this car, but I kept the oil topped off and it never let me down all season. You'll love the b20, I immediately felt the difference the first time I drove it!

[@xThe_Caveman]

Black Dragon gets better every time . awesome video Jon keep them rolling...

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+The_Caveman Thanks buddy, cruise soon?

[@xThe_Caveman]

[@tommyandchill]

Quite the car, Jon.. you've put so much work into it! Regarding the transmission, before you do anything.. consider swapping the fluids with that of synchromesh. My CRX too had a slight grind going into fourth.. with the synchromesh, it's absolutely gone! Good luck with the off-season!!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Dash-n-Cars Thanks so much! I love checking out your new mods on the wagon! I want an off-road vehicle so badly sometimes and we have so many deserts/trails in my area. Might end up getting a CRV, thinking about selling my truck to do so!

[@roelpastors9588]

Yeah this is my favorite out of all your Honda's, I had it as my first car plus it has a B20. Really would love to see a wrinkle plus paint job on that valve cover man . Mine came out so very nice. Keep em vids rolling in \m/

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Roel Pastors thanks Roel, I'm probably going to change the valve cover before next season also. Wrinkle red?

[@roelpastors9588]

Yes wrinkle red is awesome but it comes down to personal preference. Red will really match the current color scheme though. LATOMMYLA had a very good tutorial recently on how to get it right and Zosh how to NOT lol. First you sandblast it down to remove all the old paint. Then clean with some brake cleaner. mask of all parts not to be sprayed. tip for the spark plug holes use some old sparkplug wires and cut off the wires. same for PCV valve and breather pipe and oilcap (cut off the top so you just cover the threading). I used and old piece of hose. then go one thick layer horizontal. wait 10 mins. then one thick layer vertical. wait 10 mins. One final layer diagonal. Wait 10 mins. Then really bring the heat either by using a pre-heated oven/put in oven to watch it wrinkle (may not please the wife so much lol) or a heat gun. Then let it sit for 24 hours to really let it cure. The results I had are amazing! It looks even better than OEM because the wrinkle is more coarse.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Roel Pastors Dude, thanks so much for the instructions!! I'm going to try this method and I love the tips for masking off the holes. I normally use painters tape and a sharp blade to mask off certain areas, some of those sound easier.

[@garryoak]

Wicked car! Also I tought only the Si-r bumpers and moldings had the indent in them for the red stripe.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+GARRY OAK Thanks Garry!!

[@joethecollector]

I prefer the 88/89 bumper and trim! looks better than 90/91 pieces. I like all your mods and your how to videos later Jon.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Osaka JDM Much appreciated! What's going on with you hatch?

[@joethecollector]

Garage Built Hondas the front end is on jack stands I've taken out the left radiator fan but the right fan is being problematic and it feels like it's hung up on something from the bottom? and the AC lines don't help being in the way UH! after I replace that then it's on to the timing belt! water pump and tensioner.

[@joethecollector]

+Lex Sanchez thanks Lex! I'd like to, that's the goal eventually!!

[@deekalos5530]

for bigger brakes and caliper, and not having to change hubs or knuckles.. You can use a 93 Prelude rotor and caliper... caliper will need a bracket (no biggie), and the rotors, you will need to drill out to an oval shape the stud bolt holes (civic is 4x100 & prelude is 4x114)!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks for the tip!

[@deekalos5530]

@@GarageBuiltHondas . . . I'm old school Honda... I bought a new CRX in 90, and back then there wasn't an aftermarket market for Hondas. Also, if you use the stock EF header (it was 4-1 directly), cut a flange and bolt on a used 14b turbo, used an Audi 5000 intercooler (redid the ends) the car ran high 11's all day long, and used as a daily using the stock D16A6!!!. All this for under $500. Remember we're talking back in the mid 90's (Ferrari's and Lambo's were in the high 12's low 13's!)

[@princesssolace4337]

High comp pistons? I wonder how an ITB set up would work and run with your engine? The looks and sound plus throttle response is mental for ITB.....

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Princess Solace No, not the pistons. This engine is the high comp version of the JDM B20B which has a slightly higher compression ratio and about 15-20 more HP than the 97-98 low comp spec.

[@JEMHull-gf9el]

I like that strut tower brace from Password JDM. I prefer one piece strut braces over the multi piece hinged ones. To me it doesn't make sense to have one with hinges. Also I want to relocate my battery do you know of any good battery relation kits? I''m going to place mine in the trunk...

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+LockTest I'm going to do the same, but I'll probably piece it together. I have seen just some wiring kits on eBay for reasonable prices. I want to drop down in size to the Odyssey 680 and get the bracket as well. It's a plan for this year for sure.

[@gavinmcclure8047]

[@kohlmannn]

Would you consider going to a hydraulic transmission setup? What kind of modification and fabrication would that entail?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Alex Kohlman Yes, but I'm going to be using a cable B16 LSD transmission for next season instead. You could use the Hasport Hydro/Cable conversion kit, or a few companies make an actual kit to add the CMC inside the pedal assembly. I've seen some in the engine bay also. I don't have much knowledge on it though. Maybe someone reading will help fill it in!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Alex Kohlman there we go, you need hydro mounts also. I'd consider trying it. My friend has it on his crx. I've never driven his car though.

[@ericdrisgula3879]

Is it a 9.6:1 high compression b20 or 8.8:1 low compression. Bro if your racing road course you totally totally want to swap out to a b16 cable tranny you'll have Soo much more power out of the turns and alot more acceleration on the straights. I know there's a big difference in power between the two and from what I hear the high compression b20 was grossly underrated and wasn't actually 146hp it was actually closer to 160 I've always heard. And upwards of 135 lbft torque . Great hatch though , ill always love ef's and bseries motors non vtec or vtec. I had a built ls/vtec in a 91 crx Hf which was pretty quick , ran mid 12's on drag radials. For brakes on my Crx I had PBR/axis metal master pads (bit harder the hotter they got) brembo blank rotors and good ridge stainless steel lines all the way around with crx si trailing arms and discs in the rear and a master cylinder from a 91 integra. I used a 91 Si front seat bar , 90 Integra rear sway bar. H&R race springs, kyb Agx adjustable dampening struts and skunk 2 adjustable upper arms. I also had some factory bracing that I added that the Si comes with that the HF does not, and it makes a difference. I had numerous other mods done as well not gonna list them all , your ride brings back great memories to me of my old Crx, I sold it unfortunately about 7 years ago not because I wanted to but because I had to in order to pay my rent as I went through some tough times for a bit which was aweful. I literally cried when it drove away. I'll never forget it or what it felt like to pull through the gears and dive in and out of turns with that car, never had a more reliable car on top which just made it that much better . Good luck with yours bro.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Thanks for that story, I loved it!! Mine is a 99 spec high compression with the knock sensor. It made 135 to the wheels with just bolt ons, hoping for more now that I have cams. I do have a b16 transmission now with an aftermarket LSD and it feels amazing. I love the way the car runs at the track and it's so enjoyable to drive. I'm hoping to get it tuned next and see what kind of power it has in store. If you look through my channel you'll see that I swapped all the parts from this car to a different shell but still the same.

[@eduardo110208]

Hi. I just bought a 1988 wagon and it’s amazing. I will like to ask you where do you get the parts for it. Like suspension etc.

Garage Built Hondas. If I’m not able to find parts for the wagon can I use the parts from the coup and sedan for it?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Eduardo Mendoza everything is exactly the same with the exception of body panels/parts, rear trailing arm parts, and exhaust system. And obviously the interior parts are all different.

[@IntegraDIY]

Badass video man! Since it’s a track car would you consider some louvers in the hood? Or fender cut outs for cooling the brakes? And more aero mods! Added aero and cooling is a win win and looks badass😎

[@michaelallison2836]

Looking good! I'm jealous. Currently trying to build a crx but I can't get the engine out of the donor DA. I think the problem might be the rear mount. Do you have to take the whole mount off, or just the bolt that runs through it? Thanks!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Michael Allison thanks! Just the bolt. The mount doesn't need to come out.

[@michaelallison2836]

Garage Built Hondas thanks for the reply! hmm must be getting stuck on something else somehow then... linkage, exhaust, and axles are all out so I don't know what is going on lol.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Michael Allison heater hoses? Speedometer cable into transmission?

[@michaelallison2836]

Garage Built Hondas I'll double check but I think I got those too. I lifted it with the hoist with a bias on the drivers side. The entire thing comes clear of the engine bay except the rear. When I shine a flashlight back there the only thing I can see still attached is that rear mount despite the fact I have the bolt out of it, it's driving me crazy lol.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Michael Allison it might just be the angle, try a pry bar to get it free from the mount.

[@2LAZY-2EDIT]

How does that mesh lumbar support feel

[@2LAZY-2EDIT]

Car looks great man still holding on to my DX I'll track it again next year

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+r0mulyni2 I really like it, it was with the seat when I bought it and I never remove it now.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+r0mulyni2 awesome, glad to hear you still have it!

[@2LAZY-2EDIT]

Garage Built Hondas cool cool I need to get one for my car and sim rig

[@EFOMAR]

Love that car😍😍

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+OMAR HERNANDEZ glad you do, she's like fine wine, getting better with age!

[@Hoe6996]

Does a 92-95 eg half sized radiator fit?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

It requires modification

[@710pappy]

Why don’t you relocate the battery to the rear

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Joe Boyington soon man!

[@JJ-ck1vg]

what subframe brace is that

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

No subframe brace. I have a lower tie bar, from eBay. EMUSA

[@jdmgarage2191]

Nice man 👍

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Jdm Garage thanks Bernie!

[@daniellemanuel1234]

Hi. Looking for a B20. How can I tell lf it's high compression and if it has the P8R head? Thanks.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Look at the head casting. Only 99-01 are high comp and they will have a knock sensor. That head will also be stamped P8R on the head.

[@daniellemanuel1234]

Are all 99-01 P8R heads ? Thanks.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

No, most are P75. You'll need to inspect it yourself to see which head.

[@daniellemanuel1234]

Is there a big power difference in the 2 heads ? Reason I am asking is I have no pick and pull yards around here. I can't look at the casting numbers b4 I buy. Thanks.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Not that I've seen. The p8r has those larger valves and the cams are different but the power difference might be like 1-3 hp. I don't believe there are many camshaft options for the p8r head though where the p75 shares the same head/cams as the b18a and b18b and there are a lot more options.

[@robertreid4138]

I highly recommend that your run a b16 transmission with that b20b. Btw I'm loving the EF and enjoying the videos!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Robert Reid thanks Robert! I have plans to install one in January/February!

[@robertreid4138]

nice! Fwiw the ls/b16 transmissions use the smaller diff/ring gears and if your swapping in a ctr lsd you will need a gsr/type r ring gear and counter shaft. The combo of a gsr counter shaft/ring gear with b16 gears & ctr lsd into any case really is the best stock parts set up that can be built for a na b series track car. ctr lsds pop up used now and again on ebay for ~450 shipped and sometimes $400. If you score one I could help you out with the gsr transmission parts. I keep spares, but have never broken anything since running the larger stuff. My drag racing buddies would break the ls stuff with some frequency... prob wont be a factor for you, BUT consider much faster corner exists once you do put a LSD in. Garage build hondas 2019 build? :D

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Robert Reid wow, thanks for all that info! I'm not super familiar with transmission parts. I'm hoping I have no problems with my trans. It's a JDM b16 with the stock LSD. It drove fine when I drove the car home but never got a chance to really beat up on it.

[@robertreid4138]

B16 JDM LSD trans uses the bigger stuff. Super score it will treat you right.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Robert Reid Hell yeah!

[@bseries8826]

Alright. Love you vids!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+B Series thanks buddy!

[@alfonsohinojo28]

ok bro thank you

[@efiadony6933]

tbh i would have just start learning body work on the car primer it and then just learn how to wrap cars beacouse its really not gonna hurt it but hey what ever floats your boat

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+efi adony looks aren't important for this car yet, being quick and reliable have been my focus. I want to possibly get it painted soon.

[@werdnaja5762]

2100 lbs with a b20 Ik this shit quick asf

[@stardust-rd6mr]

Let me know if you are going to sale your transmission

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Are you local?

[@stardust-rd6mr]

@@GarageBuiltHondas yes I'm from el paso

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Which one are you looking for?

[@stardust-rd6mr]

@@GarageBuiltHondas I'm looking for a b series you say your where going to get another tranmission on your video. I know the third gear is going bad but that's ok

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I still have it. It's off the car now. You can see the gear ratio here on it. Make an offer. I might sell. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnXFfIevjdOhhas

[@Carlos-bc4gl]

Car check ;)

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+carlitosnueve 👍😀

[@yhellothar]

I liked the name of the channel before

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+yhellothar lol, it was too generic for me. Didn't describe it well enough. I wanted to create a brand for myself.

[@TheXXXskater1]

You should wrap it, would make a great video series

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Sr.Sanhco trying to get it painted before March possibly. It's a long shot but I would love to!

[@TheXXXskater1]

Garage Built Hondas Paint it a dark metallic silver or grey it would look great with the red stitched moldings and white wheels

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Sr.Sanhco Silver is the color I've been planning on, I want it to be cooler in summer. And you're right, that color will look great with the parts mentioned!

[@TheXXXskater1]

Garage Built Hondas I know you'll switch it up so bronze wheels or some plain grey wheels would look real nice too with a nice metallic silver.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Sr.Sanhco already have a few sets of wheels in mind for next season too!!

[@TheXXXskater1]

She's not a pretty one but she'll please you

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

+Sr.Sanhco she does every single time!!
