We Got the Motor and Transmission Pulled Out

We recently pulled out the motor and transmission from Jeremy's car, which took us just over an hour and a half to complete. We know that this is a bit longer than usual, but we did stop to film some things here and there along the way. Despite a few hiccups, we were able to get the job done without too many issues. The motor was removed successfully, and now we can focus on bolting it onto the engine stand.

Preparing for the Transmission Removal

With the motor out of the way, we're now moving on to removing the transmission. This is a crucial step in the build process, as it will allow us to work on the engine without any obstructions. We'll be using the engine stand to support the motor and make it easier to access the transmission.

Cleaning Up the Engine Bay

Once the transmission is removed, we can start cleaning up the engine bay. This is an important part of the process, as we want to get rid of any unnecessary parts and make room for new components. Jeremy's car has a lot of wiring that needs to be pulled out, including some sketchy fuses with two wires soldered together. We'll also need to take out the AC lines and remove any other components that are no longer needed.

The Plan for Tomorrow

Tomorrow is shaping up to be a busy day in the garage. We're planning to start tearing down the engine block, which will allow us to work on the internals and make some much-needed modifications. We'll also be cleaning up the engine bay further, getting rid of any debris or unnecessary parts that we don't need.

The Boost is On

One thing we can't wait for is to get the boost back in Jeremy's car. The hotshot has been doing some great work on this project, and we're excited to see it come together. With the engine now on the stand, we'll be able to focus on making the necessary modifications to make the power output what we want.

B Series Build Details

We're currently working on a B Series build, which is an exciting project for us. As you can probably tell, I'm not familiar with this particular model, but that's okay – it's going to be easy compared to other builds like Jeremy's 8-Series project. The main difference between the two is the presence of balance shafts in the B Series engine, which makes things a bit more complicated.

The Clutch Conundrum

One thing we've realized now is that we need to replace the clutch in the car. We're going to be using a P-series stage 5 single disc clutch, but we still have to wait for it to arrive. This means that our plans are going to be delayed slightly, as we can't proceed without the new clutch.

The Head That Came in Trade

We also got a head from Jeremy's car that he acquired through a trade. The head is supposed to be built with dual valve springs and oversized intake valves, which should give us some nice power output. It also comes with a good-looking intake manifold that has been used before. We'll be putting the head on the car tomorrow, despite knowing that it might not be necessary for achieving our desired power level.

Budget Considerations

One thing to keep in mind is that messing with the head can be a bit of a waste if you're only looking to make minor modifications. As we see it now, a full head rebuild would cost us a lot more than we need to spend on the build. However, since we already have the head and are willing to put it to good use, there's no reason not to go ahead with the plan.

The Plan for Tomorrow

Tomorrow is going to be another busy day in the garage. We'll be starting by removing the valves from the head that came in trade. Once those are removed, we can proceed with cleaning up the engine bay and making any necessary modifications to get the car back on the road.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthere you go past so today we're going to be pulling the motor out of Jeremy Civic find the time for him to give some boost time to go fast NCAA boys I know can't have an NA car yeah be hanging out over here so this is his be 28 kid really clean talked about this thing before and like you said we're just gonna be doing mild eBay build on it and then give a turbo kit on there and just make him like anywhere from 350 to 450 horsepower yes where he'll be happy so off right now yeah for now right now yeah we might end up doing like a CSS block later on and stuff like that but we'll get more into that if we actually end up doing it for now we're just going to keep it a really simple setup so at this this car does still have AC and we're gonna be pulling all that out and there's some other things that Jeremy wants to clean up in here as well also has the EVAP canister that's like for emissions it's tucked away back there probably might be getting rid of that and yeah just some other little things but for today we're just going to try to get the motor pulled out of the car and probably get it on an engine stand and I'll probably be good for today then we'll start turning into it and getting all the internals done and then getting the motor back in another day so for now it's probably just gonna be n/a for a little bit breaking the motor in na and then I'm not sure how much longer after that until we'll get a manifold for it made and start getting the turbo stuff put on there yeah but it should have pretty good power like yeah just looking at na yeah yeah does it be 20 so it's not the be 18 this one does have you know a little better torque and stuff like that there's more displacement here so just going to go ahead and get started and rip her out shouldn't be too long honestly I feel like pulling them is just as easy as like pulling a trainee honestly we should probably get it out in like 45 minutes if we just yeah it's pretty Keiko fat yeah civics are easy okay so we're gonna get started on it and you'll be on our way to being boosted so usually we just do a time lapse whenever we pull a motor but I feel like this would be a good time to show you guys how you actually pull a motor from a Honda Civic so we're just going to show it step by step but kind of do a very brief explanation on how to do it so to start off we just got it jacked up and we got both of the front tires off and then we are going to bust this axle nut loose right here this guy and then once we get that off we're gonna be taking off this seventeen millimeter bolt up here for the upper ball joint there's usually a cotter pin in this but Jeremy does not have his cotter pins in so yeah you got to get that off and then there's a fourteen right here on this fork that connects to the shock pull that guy off and then there is this 17 right here on the bottom of the fork and then you pull that off and then after you get those two bolts off you'll be able to take this fork off completely and pull this whole assembly forward slide the axle out from right here and then pop it out of the transmission and pull the axle out and then you just do the same thing to the other side and then the axles are done if it has a half shaft you can just leave the half shaft bolted to the motor when you pull it or you can just pull it all out at once because I know most b-series will have a half half my age 22 has a half shaft but some of the D Series in the stock civics they just have one really long axle with no half shaft so you just got to pull all that out but it's the same process on both sides to pull the axles and then once you get those off then we can start unplugging stuff in the engine bay alright so we just got the axles out and right now we're under the car and so the next step that we're gonna do is we got to take off the two 12 millimeter bolts for the exhaust and then after you get that off the whole exhaust will come down and then we'll move on to the shift linkage so there's one 12 millimeter that goes right here and then there usually is a like rubber grommet that comes over this other part of the shift linkage and if you take that off there's this little like pin it looks kind of like an Allen but it's like a pin and it's pressed in and then like a secret way to get it out is you get like a just a regular like 10 millimeter bolt like it's like the perfect size after that you just get it on there and you just kind of hammer it out and then these two sides of the shift linkage will come down and then you move to whether shift linkage goes into the car and there's 2 12 millimeter bolts for that 2 and after that you get those out the whole thing should come down and you just take it out alright so this is what that a 10 millimeter trick is so you got to get it like perfectly inside of this hole so you'll be hitting this whole thing and it won't go anywhere so if it fits in there perfectly you just hammer it out and like everything's it's really good trick so while Jeremy is getting everything um bolted underneath the car I went ahead and got the battery taken out and the battery tray there's three bolts holding that on and underneath all of that there is this little cover right here that has two ten millimeter bolts that hold the wiring harness in this is like the main engine wiring harness right here and I already went ahead and we inside the car and unplugged the ECU from the harness so then after we removed these two 10 millimeter bolts right here we'll be able to pull the whole harness out and then just kind of lay the wires on the motor and we're just gonna pull the motor out with all the sensors and harness still attached and there was also a strut bar of the Jeremy took off earlier so that's out of the way as well and we just need to take off the radiator the radiator lines get the AC stuff out of the way we are going to be getting rid of that and take off the three main motor mounts so there's this one right here on this side take that one off we got this one right here and then there's also a T bracket in the back right there so that third mountain needs to be taken off and then he still also has this factory mount right where is it at right here so we gotta take that guy off we're probably not gonna put that one back on since it has solid mounts and we don't need that one so once we get those off then we should be able to start pulling her out we also got to get the condenser off but I think it's pretty straight forward from there also unplug the fuel lines and anything else that is attached to the motor so from this point we're just going to do a time-lapse so we can get the motor pooled faster it should be pretty self-explanatory from this point forward so yeah just got to get it unbolted and pull her out so we got the motor and transmission pulled out took us just over an hour and a half which is you know a little long we can do better but we did stop to film some things here and there but overall it came out pretty easily to have hardly any issues pulling her out and yeah so Motors out and what we're going to be doing right now before we call it a night is pulling the transmission off so we can get it on to the engine stand bolting the motor to the engine stand and then tomorrow we'll probably start tearing the end of that and then also tomorrow we're going to start cleaning up the engine bay we have a lot of things to get rid of you know this is Jeremy's car so he's gonna want to do it his way but he wants to clean up some things in there like pull out of the wiring mostly you don't like this stuff like I saw this sketchy fuse a what is this well that was like two wires soldered to a fuse yeah so yeah like that that's going that's going for sure and then take out all the AC lines and then just just stuff that we don't need and then it should be good I don't remember you did kind of Matt Hardy I swear you know oh that's why it was so hard the hotshot was doing it oh yeah I forgot we live yeah excited man ready ready for the boost yes I need it and there's a booster you like but we got the engine on the stand so we're gonna start ripping into her tomorrow like I said we're gonna call it for tonight ain't quite a mess but they'll be worth it for sure get the Civic goin so I'm pretty excited to be doing the B Series build honestly because I know nothing about these dude there's like way easier cuz like when I was helping you build it 8 Series like there's a lot more stuff but P series is so much simpler I feel like it's one of the simplest blocks each probably it's the same other than like the balance shafts as far as yeah it's pretty much the same kind of let me know yeah it just has the balance shafts which make it kind of complicated but they're simple either way it's a Honda so that's easy yeah this cake but yeah that's Betty but no we're gonna do for tonight I mean we got a lot done technically but we know that we got to do so yeah we also have just not now that we need to clutch it was we're gonna have to be down we have everything ready to go except for a clutch yeah we have everything here to do that right now except for that so we're gonna be looking for a p-series probably to stage 5 single disc clutch and not we need and they're trying to get this thing back in the car running by this weekend if we can find a clutch so we can finally clutch added the other should be no issue yeah that's it oh and then we just got to put the valves back in the head but that's oh yeah yeah because you're not gonna be using this head you're going to use this one over here that's on the shelf yeah got from some sort of deal or something yeah I don't know I traded a hunt data for that head so the head is a built head I don't know the guy that I got from supposedly told me that it had a full skunk to everything and I take it all apart and it does so it's got dual valve springs oversized intake valves and then it came with a nice he'd take manifold that's been challenged on that bench for a long time so we're gonna put the head to work now so even though it's not a crucial part of the build it's not since we have the head but I can't throw a lot that we throw at it anyway so might as well just put it all together yeah so for anyone going budget I would not recommend you know messing with the head except for like Springs and retainers and that's all you'll need but sense yeah go head that he got in a trade we're gonna throw it on anyways but that is not really a crucial part for making the power that we want to make because for what we want to make if we just have this setup like to start with that would just honestly probably be wasting money to get the head work done for only you know a few hundred horsepower but since we already have the head and throw it all yeah well no reason why not - can't be too safe yeah well just do it it's still stopped hands alright yeah just GSR Kem's so she's all I needed yeah well that's gonna be different at night got the motor out tomorrow we'll start cleaning up the car pulling her apart and she'll be on her way but it's gonna be a pretty night guys thanks for watchingthere you go past so today we're going to be pulling the motor out of Jeremy Civic find the time for him to give some boost time to go fast NCAA
