currently working on replacing my clutch

[Milanored92hatch]

good project welcome

[Backwoodz Tuner]

600 bucks ain't bad, the body looks pretty straight. Nice project though, lots of stuff you can do with them EF civic's. Need any help or advice you came to the right forum. Welcome.

[Milanored92hatch]

[Brian]

it's a nice shell to work with

What's you plans as far as the engine goes? Keeping the D or upgrading to a B. My suggestion is to at least get a B18A out of a 2nd Gen DA Integra. 140hp in that light hatchback and that thing would scoot.

My experience has been that no matter how built a N/A SOHC D engine is, it is no match for a B series.

[Spensman]

well right now all my moneys going towards still fixing the body a have a bent bar that sits right by the steering knuckle or whatever all its causing my car to pull to the left, maybe later down the road ill do a swap but I DONT WANT TO START A SWAP PROJECT AND NEVER FINISH IT ill clean up the engine bay here soon too

[Brian]

awesome. If you need any advise or tech help, let me know. I am a Honda guy as well. I'm about to get a CRX SI shell and drop a GSR engine in it.

[Brian]

BTW, a great place for any OEM part you need for your car is www.hondaautomotiveparts.com.

You can get anything from complete panels to any nut or bolt that you need.

[Spensman]

alrite thanks man, hey you wouldnt happen to know of any junk yards that carry a few efs the 1 in snohomish is kind of bare on the efs but other hondas its good

[Brian]

no clue about that area...sorry

[Spensman]

alrite thanks for the website

[Brian]

they are a little on the pricey side, but sometimes it's worth it to go OEM

[Spensman]

ya im not realy looking into go towards performance yet just getting it on the road and driving straight

[silver_echo]

alrite thanks man, hey you wouldnt happen to know of any junk yards that carry a few efs the 1 in snohomish is kind of bare on the efs but other hondas its good

hey have you checked the spokane yards? there is whitey's, and spaldings import yards in spokane that deal in ONLY imports

[Spensman]

thats a little to far for me to travel im on the west side of the mountains

[erik]

thats a little to far for me to travel im on the west side of the mountains

Check the Arlington Pull-A-Part, that place is usually good, but sometimes they have NADA so I advise to call ahead.

[Spensman]

[Brian]

the Bitch Pin is the worst thing about Hondas

[Milanored92hatch]

got a new crossmember from a you pull in arlington i couldnt go in tho that sucked you had to be 18 anybody know how to get the steering stuff out without cutting anything

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Do you got a service manual for your car yet? If not hit the link in my signature go to the manuals section and download the shit up. There you will find how to get the dteering shit out properly, but to get it all there is a bit of work to it.

[erik]

Moved SOHC vs DOHC to different post in the modification forum.

[Milanored92hatch]

thanks erik

[Spensman]

i think the 1 he moved could be deleted its the 1 in chat everyones posting on

[Spensman]

lol or that works too

[Spensman]

anybody know if the si trannys for a 88-91 are cable or hydro and also will it bolt up to a d15b2

[Milanored92hatch]

cable and yes 88-00 sohc all trans bolt up

[Spensman]

i was just thinking doesnt a si tranny have idk what but something different with the gears

[Milanored92hatch]

ya shorter best choice for sohc ef's that are cable

[Brian]

they aren't the best for gas mileage though, because of the shorter gears

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Cable and yes it will bolt up.

[Spensman]

im gonna keep my eye out for 1 any codes or whatever for them

[Milanored92hatch]

im gonna keep my out for 1 any codes or whatever for them huh? what do u mean ya gas mileage will be down but not as bad as the b16 si trans with the crx/ civic ef si trans you have a good final gear

[Spensman]

like to reconize the tranny

[polar bear Grant]

they aren't the best for gas mileage though, because of the shorter gears

dude its a honda i bet he will still get like 30mpg+ i have a si tranny and i get probbley 33mpg lol

[Brian]

i know that, but it still will get worse gas mileage than a DX tranny

[Milanored92hatch]

i know that, but it still will get worse gas mileage than a DX tranny

very true on dseries.org or some other d series site they have a break down on numbers and ratios of the gears

[Brian]

the only Honda site that I go to is hondahookup, but that is because I am a Mod on there :)

[EgDude]

get a cable and yes its a d series it will bolt up

[Spensman]

[Spensman]

getting fustrated with painting keeps cracking, i found out why people on honda tech do the $50 paint job its because its cheaper then rattle can, but the rolling doesnt age worth a shit you can rub your hands acrossed it and rub paint off i found this out from my fender i did that im so thankful i didnt decide to roll

[Spensman]

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n209/spensman3/d16z6.jpg
been buying up alot of d16z6 parts not quite sure what im going to do with them yet, ill wait later down the road when i have a steady income to make plans, maybe try to sell them, also found out after replacing my clutch that ill have to pull my tranny apart and replace a bearing inside of it here soon

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Painting does get frustrating. Glad you didn't go the ghetteo fab rolling route. Here's a few pointers when rattle canning. Use primer, always sand between coats, helps the paint stick better, use dry tack cloths to clean any small shit of what your painting there pretty cheap. Also be sure the temperature your painting your part isn't super cold or anythying, at least 65 degrees works best for the paint to stick good. Always paint in light coats, very important to get paint to stick evenly, even if some spots look lighter then others. Its also a good tip to use a whole can then say just half or 2 thirds then saving it to use later, cause when you go back and use that can a few days later , the can looses its pressure and the last little bit always starts doin that spit and splatter shit and could fuck up a whole paint job leaving clumps of paint. But that's just my advice with my experiences usin rattle can. And believe me I've done a lot of it. Just take your time and you'll figure it out what works best for you. But the car seems to be comin along nicely.

it been a pain in the ass, i wish i could find the guy who sold me this car and kick his ass to many problems but hey im getting experience i have learned alot about hondas and now can get a engine out pretty quick or say do a head swap pretty quick to lol ( aust ek pulling your head off your car like 5 times and pulling your intake mani off 10 times)

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Live n learn that's what's its all about, experience

[Spensman]

i not gonna make the same mistake twice if it has side damage check the crossmembers lol not 1 but 2 were bent on my car it was ready for the junkyard then

[aust ek coupe]

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Looks like your hood and fender aren't lining up to good, but the paint job don't look too bad

[Spensman]

ya some more damage that was done to the car for the bar for the headlights its bent in like a inch and im guessing thats whats causing it, been thinking about finding a nice peice like that and cutting it off and welding it on my frame so it lines up better

[aust ek coupe]

looks pretty sick. i like the dark green

[aust ek coupe]

is the hood the hammered black or just the flat black?

[Spensman]

its the $7 a fing can hammered finished black, i spent $70 on 9 cans of paint and ill probaly have to use 15 cans for the whole car

[Spensman]

dont feel like making another thread, need some good places to get a engine block hot tanked and a head ported and polished and a prices

[Milanored92hatch]

http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/pts/1078412940.html looked like you could get parts

[Spensman]

im getting low on cash right now and i need to sell some parts to buy parts right now, all i have left right now is enough to probaly finish painting and get her on the road driving

[Spensman]

i got my car put all back together and its road ready now just need tabs and insurance its been fun
http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n209/spensman3/painted.jpghttp://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n209/spensman3/painted2.jpg

[Spensman]

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n209/spensman3/flat.jpg
o fun day!

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Damn man that fuckin sucks, if it ain't one thing always another. But at least its an easy fix. Go hit up the junkyard and score yourself a new wheel and tire.well that's what I'd do to get my car back on the road.

[Spensman]

it wasnt so easy to fix i was in everret 30 miles away from my house on the side of the freeway the side with no off ramps with barely any room to walk around with and when it was fixed i had a dead battery i was stranded for about 4 or 5 hours talk about a shitty day lol

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Damn man , that sucks. But at least you aren't a dumbass and forgot to put the spare tire back in your trunk when you were all done gettin your car assembled.

[Spensman]

lmao i didnt have a spare i had to get someone to drive me up 1

[Backwoodz Tuner]

LOL!!!! Did u learn a lesson?? Believe me I had to learn the hard way too, and yeah it was on the side of the freeway, but it was like 60 miles from my house, 2-3 in the morning driving back from Clubbin. Yeah I was the dumbass before, but I learned my lesson LOL! But at least you got her home :)

[Spensman]

o ya im happy i didnt have to call a tow truck, i learned that you dont pull over to the left side of the freeway even if your in the carpool lane you pull all the way over to the right side, there wasnt a spare tire when i got my car as long as i got friends to bring me down tires

[aust ek coupe]

ya and he stole my tire. bastard lol

[Backwoodz Tuner]

LOL! Well now you got an IOU from him next time your car breaks down. I have 2 buddies that we got IOU's to each other, that no matter day or night if one of us were to break down that either one or the other guy will be the superman. But now since I don't gotta license to save a bro any more I'm not the one they can call on.

[Spensman]

lol no if anything he owes me, thats what friends are for to help you when you need help and have your back when you need it

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yeh that's cool you guys are tight friends like that. Good friends are hard to find.

[aust ek coupe]

hes my brother

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Wow, I'm pretty fuckin slow some times. I shoulda known

[Brian]

Wow, I'm pretty fuckin slow some times. I shoulda known

thats the truth

[Spensman]

http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n209/spensman3/dashoff.jpg
my car hasnt been starting for a couple days now found out its something to do with my main relay bought a new 1 still no start tried de pinning the main relay from my ecu got rid of the humming but no start, got my starter tested and it passed, still trying to problem solve

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Well are you sure that humming noise wasn't your fuel pump running? Have you checked for spark?Jus remove one of your spark plugs from your motor. Put the spark plug back in the spark plug wire and set it on your valve cover. Then have a buddy turn it over while you watch to see if its sparking. Best to do during the night, makes it easier to see the spark. A bright blueish color is what you want. Orange/red is bad and a weak spark. Have you checked to see if your getting fuel to the fuel rail? Jus loosen the pressure release bolt on top of your fuel filter up on the firewall. The banjo bolt, fuel pressure release bolt, is the smaller bolt on top of one of them larger bolts. There's a copper washer underneath it you don't wanna loose, but actually it should be replaced everytime it's been loosened. But, you can just hammer it flat carefully and reuse it, I've done it many times. Hope some of this helps.

[Spensman]

my starters not spinning, and no its not my fuel pump running, i can feel my main relay vibrate as it hums

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Ok have you checked for power to your starter when you turn it over?? Just hook a test light up to your starter and try turning it over. Your ignition harness thing could be going bad. Its the wireing harness that hooks up to the backside of your key ignition cylinder thing on your steering column.its easy to remove, just 2 phillips head bolts. The other end connects to brown rectangular plug somewhat close to your under fuse panel. But the white part that hooks up to your ignition switch thing on the harness sometimes goes out.I've had to replace a couple before. There pretty cheap and easy to score at the junkyard.

Another thing have you checked to see if your starter has a good solid ground??

[Spensman]

thanks for the advice ill check that stuff tommorrow, but do you think the stuff you stated would cause my main relay to humm?

[Brian]

check your ground on the relay. Bad ground on a relay may make it hum

[Backwoodz Tuner]

I'm guessing it could, but that's just my guess. But see you said your starter wasn't turning and your main relay don't have nothing to do with the starting system, just the control of power to your fuel pump.

[Spensman]

thanks guys for the tips been getting really frustrated with this been working on my car all day and getting no where, im getting more response on here to the problem then honda-tech lol, what is the first thing to happen in start up, your starter spinning, fuel pumping then spark or how does it go

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yeah you probably got replies like , use the search.

[Brian]

fuel pump should prime first, then you should be getting spark as the starter turns the crankshaft.

[Spensman]

ya im not even pumping any fuel

[Brian]

first, I would get your main relay working

http://www.nwtuner.com/forum/showpost.php?p=25460&postcount=4

[Spensman]

its a brand new relay

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Have you checked to see if your getting power to your pump? Just unplug the plug from your fuel pump,turn your car to the on position,get your test light and hook it up to the power side of the plug.I can't tell you which one it is off the top of my head, but you can figure it out. And if it don't light up, you more then likely got a pinch in the wiring that goes from the relay to your pump.

will a electrican test light like this work http://www.farnsworthelectronics.com/part%20images/multim10.gif or will i have to get another 1, i can make my fuel pump manualy pump by using a jumper wire from the + of my battery to my starter would you think theres still something wrong with my wires?

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Sorry man your gonna need a new one.there pretty cheap. You need the kind that look like a pen with a light bulb in it with a wire that comes outta the top with an alligator clip on the end. Or you can jimmy rig one up using a blinker light bulb. Just get 2 wires , electrical tape one end of the wires to the side of the metal part of the bulb, then some how tape up the other end of the wire to the little nipple metal part of the bottom of the bulb. The negative wire is the one connected to the side part and the positive wire is the one connected to the bottom.


But like you said your pump turns on with power to the pump, then its gotta be your wiring from your pump to your relay.

[Spensman]

WOW, i re checked all my grounds and got in to start my car and starts up as simple as that, but the old relay was bad

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Well that's good to hear man.

[Spensman]

its funny how something as simple as that can cause you problems

[Brian]

glad to hear that you got it fixed.

was it the ground on the main relay?

[Gsolo]

i dont know how many times i've forgotten a ground wire somewhere and I pull my hair out trying to find the electrical gremlin, only to figure it was my own mistake. Last one was the ecu ground reference on the block, wsant tightened and it would rattle a little loose so car would hesitate lol That screwed with my head for a week.

Any hoo...looks like a fun little project you're doing! i've almost considred a few times picking up a cheap EF hatch....dunno if i can go to the dark side yet though :D

[Spensman]

its was the ground on my negative battery cable that has never caused me problems before so i didnt think to check it, gsolo whats the dark side. hondas?

[Backwoodz Tuner]

Yeah, we're the darkside!!!!

[Gsolo]

gsolo whats the dark side. hondas?

pretty much :D

I do find myself liking the EF and EG hatches

[Spensman]

ya same here theres just so many eg hatches out there, like at the honda-tech meet there were a few ef hatches that were clean not that many
