Here is everything you need to know about what I've just done to the R33.4.

I took it down to where my previous shop was as the new owners specialize in Nissan engines. It's not that I couldn't do it in my own shop, it was that they had all the parts I needed readily available and the time would be much less than if I had to order everything on my own.

Whole engine was removed from the bay and the top end was taken off of my RB26.

Waiting for me was this.



an RB26 bottom end with a stroker kit making it a bored 2.8L engine (RB28)

Next



Top end is reinstalled and double checked for any issues, new exhaust manifold is fitted for big single turbo action.

Final steps



Turbo By Garrett GT5533R is installed onto exhaust manifold, down pipe is modified to fit single turbo setup, new intercooler piping for single turbo instead of twin, fluids are topped up and fresh 100 Octane is put into the car. Engine fires up with no issues and sounds much scarier than before. I am excited to dyno this thing.

Meanwhile, I have picked up my mentioned honda project.

Now if any of you were around from the very start of this thread, you would know that my first car was an Acura Integra. That car was absolutely great. It had a B18 from a JDM integra, full suspension and wheel upgrades, big brembos, and it was a quick (245HP) daily and first car. The car was written off, however, but I still have bits and pieces that I have no gotten rid of. Today I found the perfect project. 1997 Acura Integra rolling shell.



Now you may be wondering why I'd buy such a bare car. I actually haven't. Many of the essential components of this car actually did come with it, but they were not fitted. They are in a bin in the shop. This car has a 4 lug set up that I may or may not convert to 5 lug. It comes with some late 80's accord wheels that I'll get rid of, momo steering wheel, stock acura seats, wiring components, as well as some headlights. From my old car I also have bits.



From the old car; Trunk with Type R style badge, rear bumper, both side skirts.

What hasn't been installed from old car; UKDM tail lights, Type R wing.

Stay tuned for more honda goodness, I do have some big plans for this car and I'm not going the B series route engine wise.

Oh also the reason I bought this car is because it was rust free and under $500 (an absolute bargain)

Do it for the ratchets
