| | So, UC sent me my bill for fall quarter. It's painful. School is more important than the car. That means the engine build will be put on the back burner for a while. I paid for k20 rods the day before I got my bill, so I have them comming. when they come I'll probably send them to the machine shop to get the h22 pistons fit to the rods since it'll cost less than a tank of gas for that to happen. I have to wait to finish assembly because the ARP rod bolts cost $100, the cams will cost $300+, the valve springs cost $150, the last of the gaskets cost close to $100, and I've got to find a civic ECU to get my hondata into (and pay to do that to). I'll probably get the rest when the winter season comes around...When the prelude goes into storage. Then it'll come out in march (weather pending) to have it's newest heart put in. Then I'll have it towed to the local perforance shop to have it street tuned. I"ll then proceed to break in the motor for a few hundred miles, and have it dyno tuned. I talked to the local shop and they said they've got a good baseline for what I'm doing, so tuning will be relatively quick. They supposedly got 212 WHP from a 5th gen with a typeS swap. I didn't see the dyno chart though. They said they'd use that map, but have it run in VTEC the entire time for me.

| | I've not forgotten about this. Things keep comming up, like my latest decission. Type S pistons fit perfectly on the rods I'm using and will give me a little added compression and comfort. They are the A sized pistons, so I'm going to have the block honed to fit (I'm using B sized pistons now, B is smaller). I also get new rings out of the $209 set. The pistons I was gonna use needed new rings anyways, so an extra $80 for better pistons is a good deal to me. That unfortunately sets me back a little. I'm hoping that my co-op job will let me start a little early so I can make some extra bucks. I will have this thing assembled by the first of the year dammit! I'm hoping it will be in the car and running by mid-january/early februrary. That will give me more than enough time to break it in properly so I can have Corey tune it in march. This thing should put down some scary numbers at the spring time dyno day. Everyone that isn't F/I, watch out

| | I hope that all these parts work out for you. However, I get the feeling you'll run into issues and need to modify things you didn't first consider. Heck, I had to for parts that were specific to my application, so doing a hybrid I'm looking at as a given. Be prepared. |
