Interesting build, should be cool. I like the 4th gen accords alot as well.

Although just a couple suggestions with the build it looks like your undertaking. Why would you sleeve a motor and whatnot just to leave stock rods in it... handicapping yourself and leaving you not able to fully take advantage of the turbo your paying so much for. You dont need dual springs with stock camshafts and other valvetrain. Unorthadox crank pulley are junk, stock damper pulley works just fine. Stock timing belt would be fine as well, but on the flip side I guess the greddy is more colorful.

Will be cool to have another turbo 4dr accord around, albiet a different gen.

I know what your saying about the rods. I'm buying them and installing them before i even think about putting the engine back in. I didn't realize the unorthodox was a POS until after i bought. well fml I should have researched it more.

You don't see this gen accord around much that are modded. i'll keep this updated when i get new parts and what not. thanks for your input
