    Zombine's DC2 tidy-up / rebuild 8/5/12 - Problems, Problems, Problems!

    Thought I may aswell start up a thread for this.

    The target is my PFL DC2 VTi-R, and long story short, It was crashed about 7 months ago, and I decided to tidy the entire car up.

    Page 1: B18C2 Removed!

    Page 2: ITR Engine in!

    Page 2: It lives

    Page 2: Cars back from panelbeaters

    Page 3: Car is back from painters ready to be reassembled....WOF this arvo!

    Page 3: Old B18C2 gets stripped down in prep for a rebuild

    Page 3: Acid dipped, Mild port and polished head

    Page 3: Fake boot floor, Head bits getting cleaned etc etc.

    Page 4: More Engine parts cleaned and polished

    Page 4: Woooo ITR front lip

    Page 4: Zeal side skirts on the way!

    Page 5: Block Painted

    Page 6: Head painted, Block sitting on new engine stand acquired for xmas

    Page 6: Bottom end bearings and rings coming!

    Page 8: Rings arrived! Bottom end back together now

    Long road ahead. Will get some pics up as soon as I can.

    Yep it is. May have seen it around pre-2008 christmas time. Car isnt in too good of shape at the moment. Primered front bumper, black front left guard and rear filler panel, and a slightly pushed in rear left corner.

    Yeah, It should be going into panelbeaters next week some time.

    Edit: Took the powersteering pump bracket into work the other day, cleaned it up, removed all the casting marks on it and painted it blue with some spray paint. Looks good

    Progress!

    Thanks to DrRubber who came and gave me a hand to remove the engine

    Pic host dead

    Phone pix as I forgot to take the camera Can get better quality ones if anyone likes.

    May be skipping getting the engine bay resprayed, as it's an unnecessary expense, Will just give it a good clean out and see what it comes up like. Main priority is to get it back on the road and legal

    Anyone know if ITR headers will bolt straight onto my VTi-R ones? or will I need to get the collector modified?

    Re: Zombine's DC2 tidy-up / rebuild

    Gearbox came off today during breaks. Removed the clutch and flywheel, Gave them a quick clean up, still a couple of mm left on the clutch so its going back in. Will try find someone local that does flywheel resurfacing.

    Repaired the vtec solenoid plug as the wire pulled out of the crimp in the plug when I was removing the loom

    Anyone know what the black box is underneath the B18C intake manifold? My ITR engine doesn't seem to have it, so there's nowhere for the plug to be plugged into, does this matter?

    Exhaust manifolds will be taking into local shop on Wednesday for the collector size to be altered to fit my stock DC2 exhaust.

    Have this coming Friday and Monday off so hoping to get a fair bit done then as the panel beater has told me there's no room for my car till late next week

    The ecu out of the type R. Wouldn't have anything to do with the IAB's (secondary butteryflys right?) would it?

    Will be reassembling on my day off (friday), and saturday hopefully will be dropping it in.

    Gave the engine bay a bit of a clean, can't tell how well it came up - too dark
