1500 for build need help

[megarock15]

i need to make my cb7 dependable does any one know about how much it would cost me to replace my brake drums with rotors including all parts needed for swap seconed how long and how much would it cost me to have everything cleaned and resealed im gettin a new exhaust from headers to tip but i dont want to swap until this motor blows im at 425K, this is all i can think of but im surfe i will have more questions about what to do when i get answers and by the way im a total newb that wants to learn as much as he can so any help is appreciated

For the rear disc swap you just need the knuckle (entire assemble including trailing arm) off of an Accord with rear disc. The price depends on where you get it from. If they are in good condition then it will not need any new parts. As for the motor a rebuild kit runs around 700 I think not to sure. But you also have to factor in the machine shope bill which would prob be aound 250-300.

so i could just get the knuckle from the junkyard and upgrade the rotors

[93F22A6]

No need to upgrade really, just some new rotors and some good pads will be fine.

so i have a chilton manual do you think i could do the cleaning and resealing myself? when cleaning what should i do, remember im a newb or would you reccomend me to take it to a shop??

[93F22A6]

Take the block, rods, crank, head, and intake to the machine shop to be cleaned. Cleaning is usually around 50, but they charge you for disassembling the head.

[megarock15]

do you think i could do the disassembly safely by my self or should i have the shop do it

[wed3k]

how we do it at the shop and is very quick is use a socket the same size as the retainer and hit the socket with a hammer.

you should be able to get everything apart in 5 minutes.

sweet thanks i eventually want to go turbo but not wanting a lot of boost just enough to get up and go on the highway what should i do to prepare for it

[wed3k]

it's all in the clearances.

[megarock15]

it's all in the clearances.

what do you mean by clearances

[megarock15]

and what would new fuel rails do

[wed3k]

bearing clearance, piston to cylinder wall, valve to valve guide etc...

you only have one fuel rail. an aftermarket one will allow you to adapt a fuel guage and also support higher flowing injectors. for low boost, you can get away with stock and DSM 450cc's injectors.

[megarock15]

where could i get those 450's so far i have only fond 550's

[wed3k]

sometimes a junkyard will have turbo cars...talon, laser, eclipse.

ebay has the 450's for sure.
