when you going to have it on the road?

[Skoodles]

well now since im trying to get a gs-r. this might have to wait a lil while longer. OR pull the gs-r out put my ls/v in it and get it tuned. dd that for a while. while i sleeve the gs-r for some uknown reasons.

[Skoodles]

atleast my income tax came in. so i could fix the stuff wrong with my truck before i sell it. did the brakes on it last night. fixing the a/c hopefully sometime this week. then i can post it up forsale and save money for my down payment.

man that thing looks like it will haul ass

[Skoodles]

motor isnt the prettiest. gotta get the valve cover redone crinkle red. clean off the tranny rtv. I have some strong cleaner that I've sprayed on it thats really made it shine.

[Skoodles]

http://i29.tinypic.com/2cp5f1x.jpg
conversion harness. also rewired from dpfi to mpfi. and setup for resistor box. tried to make it simple

http://i31.tinypic.com/bey4vb.jpg
kinda hard to see but there was a gap between the bumper and the bumper filler toward the left side it looks alot better. still needs a hood and driver head light needs to comedown on the inside a lil but looks better.

http://i29.tinypic.com/9jhj09.jpg
yes the car has ben wrecked but i did my best.

http://i30.tinypic.com/2cdbmsx.jpg
finally ordered all the stuff to finish the front of this thing.
stock cam gears look good from this angle.

http://i32.tinypic.com/68hdt5.jpg
getting it ready for next week when all the parts should be in.:beavisbutthead: i also ordered an aftermarket fuel rail.

http://i25.tinypic.com/qq5wts.jpg
this is where all my wires hide.

http://i27.tinypic.com/vovsy9.jpg
and of course the noise maker

[projectcivicjp]

what kind of fuel rail did you get skoodles? cant wait to see it on the road man! when are you planning to have it tuned again. i forgot?

[Skoodles]

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j150/nabinger/CIMG6902.jpg

blue STR may get it redone red when i get my valve cover done then itll match my cam seal;)

[Skoodles]

as far as tuned i have no idea. if i can get it in the car this week. ill try and find a radiator and hoses the following week. and crank it on one my crome maps that i got before i install my s100b and bring it to houston.

[projectcivicjp]

fucking a doggie thats good cake! thats freaking awesome man. like i said if you want to you can borrow mine until you get yours in!

[Skoodles]

well with this local radiator supplier the first radiator our shop buys from them is 50bucks off. i already priced it through them before at 110. so you can do the math:D

[projectcivicjp]

thats sweet. well if you decide not to pick one up or run into problems with money (which im sure you wont) holler at me and you can use that one. its practically brand new.

[Skoodles]

sure would look pretty with your radiator tho :D

[projectcivicjp]

well not that one lol! i have to keep that one! i have a stock one

[Skoodles]

well not that one lol! i have to keep that one! i have a stock one

lame:thumbsdown:

[projectcivicjp]

hahaha you're gay!

[Skoodles]

now my stuff say's itll be in thursday.
ordered my oil pan gasket itll be in tomarow at the part store.
And of course the local honda dealer doesnt have a 1.50 o-ring that i need thatll be in tomarow.

[Skoodles]

last time fedex shipped something to my house i didnt get it for 4 days cause no one was home to sign for it. my brother suppose to be home today. so if i can get that stuff. i should be able to button up the motor and have it in the car maybe tonight.:beavisbutthead:

[Skoodles]

got all my parts in. already went put oilpump/water pump and tensioner on. started thinking im missing something. Left my oilpan gasket at work:mattsgay:LAME so i get to waste more time driving back to port neches to go get it. but other than a v/c gasket the fluids my motor should be done tonight. then i just got a lil soldering to do. either modify shift linkage or buy hasport. and 1 female axle. And i got some big ass cable thinking of making my own power-grown system. i dont think the factory stuff is gonna cut it.

[Skoodles]

tried to post these last night but in the middle of a convo with toan and loading tinypic my roadrunner decides to quit.

[projectcivicjp]

when are you going to have it running?

[Skoodles]

when are you going to have it running?

i still got some stuff to
wire up. msd box and coil, o2 sensor.
need msd cap converted for ext coil
msd wires
fluids.
pickup my radiator
1 female end axle
1 belt
valve cover gasket.
maybe a week or 2 would be the shit. but i got some bills coming up so we'll see.
and figure out how ima hook up the throttle cable. but once i got it in last night i didnt fuck with it anymore.

[Matticus]

Call me when you get home tonight. I'm gonna help Mike detail his civic, prolly chunk my motor BACK in the rsx and stop by. Its not even 10:00 yet, I think I have plenty of time.

[projectcivicjp]

whats up with your throttle cable?

that sounds good dude! I'll have mine running next Saturday. I'll bring the video camera and get mike to film the start up and me going around the block. I'm ready for all of us to get our cars on the road and to the track!

[Skoodles]

whats up with your throttle cable?

the ctr manifold is different and has a different bracket for the cable on the manifold wich i dont have. and im not sure if i gotta have that brack + the type-r cable or make my own bracket for my factory cable to it.

[Skoodles]

when i get home ima. lower the front crossmember and put the header in. i tried to have it sitting in place while i lowered the motor in but it wasn't co operating so i said ill just do it this way.

that and work on the wiring.

hey jp whats the possibility of getting that radiator today?

[JustaSloWgn]

holy crap man looks freaking sweet cant wait tiill roll with it ont he road

[Skoodles]

holy crap man looks freaking sweet cant wait tiill roll with it ont he road

me either

[Skoodles]

well header doesnt clear the front crossmember i thought it did with the ls head so i dunno:thinker: guess ima have to buy some sort of traction bar system. ima try and get all the wiring i need to finish done tonight.
still debating on cutting my shiftlinkage or ordering hasport.

[projectcivicjp]

oh ok yea I ordered the itr Tb and it was pretty cheap. like 14 shipped.
that sucks to hear about your header man! im sorry to hear that. the car gods have cursed us for sure!

[Skoodles]

i decided ima just spend the 120bucks and buy hasport shiftlinkage.
all the traction bars for the EF are pretty expensive. pluss i gotta find one thatll clear the header.

i found out the type-r throttle cable and throttle cable bracket will fix my cable problem. found a site bout40-50bucks for both.

today im debating where i want to mount my msd box. and coil. get all that wired up. then all i gotta order is the conversion cap to ext coil. and wires.

im picking my radiator and hoses up hopefully today thnks to jp:beavisbutthead:

I NEED the engine harness side of a 4 wire honda o2 sensor. if anyone got an old wiring harness lying around LMK.

[Skoodles]

talked to my boss he said we'll try and cut and reweld my shiftlinkage and if it doesnt work out right then ill buy hasport.

[projectcivicjp]

im gonna call my little brother and tell him to get it out clean it up with a rag and get it real pretty for you!

Yea i forgot to tell you lol. I didnt even snap to you not having the itr throttle cable. thats exactly what I ordered and it looks clean. I've seen it done half ass (manifold install) and it looked like garbage with a gsr tb cable.

i found some good traction bars for 318 shipped on honda-tech made by L-con. I've heard some good stuff on their thread.

call me during lunch time

[Skoodles]

there may be a change with my ls/vtec swap....it may go into something else:leghump:

[projectcivicjp]

lol you're secret is safe with me! :mattsgay:

[Skoodles]

lol you're secret is safe with me! :mattsgay:

i was hoping to have it in this other car for the meet but it wont be tuned so that doesn't do me any good. right now UNLESS my hatch sells then i could have it tuned by then

[projectcivicjp]

yea that would be sweet!

would you wanna sell it with an ls swap? if you end up doing that I'll talk to guys at work and see if anyone is intrested. I know with gas like it is everyone is looking for a beater to drive back and forth to work!

[Skoodles]

yea that would be sweet!

would you wanna sell it with an ls swap? if you end up doing that I'll talk to guys at work and see if anyone is intrested. I know with gas like it is everyone is looking for a beater to drive back and forth to work!

im not gonna worry about trying to sink more money in it i just want to get rid of it like it is. if i can.

[projectcivicjp]

oh ok. well give me a holler sometime

[Skoodles]

eh im really in a pickle right now. im really temped to swap some money into my checking account and ordering traction bars this week and continue this build. and just put the teg off for nother week or how ever long it takes to make up for the traction bars and other things.

[projectcivicjp]

make up your damn mind already!lol :banghead:

[Skoodles]

i know right:mattsgay: i just dont think itll be as fast in a teg with power steering and a/c than in a light ass hatch.

[Skoodles]

i guess im seeking guidence from the car gods:rolleyes:

[Skoodles]

i decided to keep my hatch and finish the swap. i mounted my msd last night.
And as soon as this honda-tech sponsor gets some more of the innovative traction bars in im sending my order in should be tomarow or saturday.

the only traction bar now for the ef that has dual post on the LCA so they dont twist like they do when using heim joints on both ends like other style traction bars.

come-alongs would work but i still need the crossmember to clear the header:(

[projectcivicjp]

what would you do all mighty Matticus?! :mynameisben:

[Skoodles]

what would you do all mighty Matticus?! :mynameisben:

use comealongs for traction bars

[projectcivicjp]

oh yea figures!

[mikesrex]

come-alongs would work but i still need the crossmember to clear the header:(

fail

you don't use come-alongs on that body style.

just use metal bushings with the stock setup. but like you said, the stock crossmember is too bulky and gets in the way.

[Skoodles]

i had brought my boss the bushings to get his friends at flowserve fab the metal bushing but good thing i decided not to.:mynameisben:

once i get the traction bars. still need

type-r cable and bracket
fluids
radiator
1 female axle
msd cap and rotor
good wires
plugs
alt belt
battery
battery cables

i think thats about it
one step at time im getting there

[projectcivicjp]

all that shit needs to get here!

[Skoodles]

yea im ready to crank this thing.:hyper:

[Skoodles]

well i put a starter in it. hooked up some battery wires. finally got power back into the car. was gonna go ahead and crank it but i still cant find my crank pulley bolt. thats pretty much only thing stopping me from spinning it over at the moment.

[Skoodles]

well i spun it over today. sounded good for a motor with no fuel or spark. but i went back few hours latter to do hit the key again and now the car wont do anything. the fuel pump wont come on anymore when i hit the key and starter doesn't click. weird thing is the head lights don't come on now either but when you turn the switch on all the lights on the dash light up and the temp gauge max's out. before with the key out no dash lights would pop up with the headlight switch turned on. got new battery connectors. its gotta be a ground or a relay cause it was working fine early today. so hopefully get pass this soon. get some fuel to it and crank it.

[projectcivicjp]

awwww shit.....thats not good. let me know if you need anything dude. thats fucking weird!

[Skoodles]

honda-tech says main relay. my boss says grounds.

[projectcivicjp]

i say main relay dude. I was looking on honda-tech about it this morning. I just though about it....but my coupe that I had a good while ago had the same thing going on with it. Just different shit! let me know what you find out

[Skoodles]

i added another ground from the intake manifold to the firewall. and everything started working again. it was just grounding out where ever it could prolly through the lighting system.

[projectcivicjp]

sorry i didnt get to text or call you back last night I was out! thats good man. glad you got it turned over

[Skoodles]

http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb161/bandrfittings/BRblackfuelline002copy.jpg
just sent my payment for my fuel line this morning. once that comes in i should be able to crank it.

just sent a message to the honda-tech sponsor that i ordered my bars from saying he either needs to tell me my bars are being shipped or give me my money back so i can order them directly from the manufacture right now its 6days shy of a month of when i made my order.

[Skoodles]

well i got it to crank today:beavisbutthead:. i need to do a compression test im a lil worried i swapped plugs and one of the old ones was soaked in fresh oil i had spun the motor over with no fuel or spark with old plugs in it. im not sure if i got oil down the tube cause i poured oil in with out the valve cover on or if its head gasket or bad machine work ill get a compression gauge from work tomorrow. I went back to get it on video but the battery is already too weak so its sitting on the charger again.

sounds like a good idea to be on the lookout for another shell. just get your problems straightened out on the current one while you are on the hunt for the new one.

[Skoodles]

well body wise i dont think i'll ever be real happy with the hatch. and its still rolling on stock suspension. what im getting has suspension on it. look a hell of alot better i might be able to pick up some bitches in it who knows lol. pluss drive this new one around for a while.
