Where did you order your parts from? especially with free shipping on the block. Could you post their info or are you able to order some parts at the same price?
I'm thinking about building a 3.5 conversion as well.
Would love to see your dyno numbers too.
Thanks.

So, how are you tuning the car? Did you end up using eManage ultimate or blue? Sounds like your taking it to someone else to tune it with that application or is he planning on using something else?

We hooked up the E-manage and the car is running great. No surging. Still waiting for a pulley to arrive before we could get a final tune. They said it would be shipped this week, so hopfully it will be here soon.

What pulley are you talking about, please share.
Also, what are your E-manage settings?
A lot of tuning involved?
Your resulting AFR and power???
Thanks in advance!

Owning my own business, I understand the amount of paperwork that goes into starting and maintaining a business. It's a real PITA. However......not having a boss: PRICELESS.

Hey Thin Jim....
You still have these RL components? Looks like I'm gonna get the engine rebuilt. 3.5L and supercharger here I come......

It's the machining process when doing the line bore. Anyway, here are a few pics of what i'm talking about.
In the top right hand part of the pic are 4 letters, CCCC, This is the main bearing that is associated with this block. Not every block will have the same code. The bearings can be bought at acura and you must tell them the letter series on your block.
This is what's stamped on the crank, there are 6 bearing codes stamped on every crank. They are not all the same from crank to crank. Machining processes get it in the ballpark, then they fit it to the nearest color associated with the clearance of that particular journal.
If anyone is looking to follow in his steps, I do have a brandnew rl crank that has been coated. pm me.
