Thank you.

Nope would be building a blow through system on my weber, weber is pretty well set up for blow through. But im still undecided, matt says ill prob be extremely happy with this setup n/a, plus would need a different cam for turbo so i will see once i get this broke in and can really get into it to see how well it does then go from there.

Ok Just curious what you intended to do. Looks great Dude,and you do great work!

Will do, but literally just dropped it in and got the shifter hooked up still have to hook everything up, fill it with fluids, do my brakes before i put the axles back in, then start it. Will do a first start up video and can do a driving video but cant really get into the throttle till after 500 miles. Once its broke in then will have some fun and post some videosnthego:

Video of it running? Drive around video?

A lot of Generic Motors are wired this way. Its a pretty good system.


I think I just read in the manual that our switchs are 6psi. I'm really impressed with how quickly you got her put together. Great work Drummer ! I was surprised when you said you might go Turbo in the future though? Would you make the switch to Fuel Injected then?

Oh ok 6psi i knew it was really low.

I just got the shifter hooked up to the tranny... love it, its got a nice short throw and sits pretty low in the cab.

When the engine starts there is minimal oil pressure correct? Wouldn't this me somewhat hindering in starting the car?

The pressure switch turns the light on at a very low pressure like 3 or 4 pounds... When you crank your engine over you'll notice the light goes out.

Re: My n/a super b3 build

That is a b&m short shifter for Honduhhhh civic... I Saw some threads on here about the cheap ebay civic shifters, I figured I would try the b&m

Hmm... It still makes me wonder if I can't go rob a 323.

Re: My n/a super b3 build

Yeah it's mostly a safety feature, I think it's a good idea. The engine is in!!!

I fill the filters with oil but do not worry about the oil pressure thing, Rings or a head gasket will get your engine first. Good idea for sbc, sbf and such where a bearing might be what gets you.

That is a great idea, I always prime my oil filter and bleed the air out if it. then pull fuel pump fuse and crank for oil pressure every oil change on all of my vehicles. I like the oil sending unit relay idea. Sounds like something I would come with! Great idea I am going to implement. Nothing like running an engine for 2-3 seconds with out op each oil change. For the duration of 30 oil changes that's at least a full minute that engine has ran without oil pressure at 90,000 miles providing 3k lofs. Think about it.

Re: My n/a super b3 build

I did some research on it and a lot of people who run an electric pump end up wiring in a relay off the oil pressure switch and said works good and is extra safety if in an accident you don't end up pumping fuel every where cuz the ignition is still on.
