Andrew's engine swap (pics)

That's really brave. I don't know if I could sacrifice a vent in my car.

Looks good. Nice clean install, no ghetto looking parts like in my car. Interior looks slick, but have you thought about redying/painting some of the black plastic parts that have faded with time?

Btw, I may have missed this, but what are you using for engine/fuel managment?

P28 chipped with CROME. Custom tuned by a friend of mine here in Tallahassee.

The only thing I'm wanting to dye is the carpet. Black. I think it would look SICK.

Went to Pick N Pull today. No luck on the axle. Could NOT get the axle nut off... trust me. I tried.

First off. I saw this beauty... I guess it's clear the fire-wall did it's job!



Then I saw this 1980 VDub Rabbit Diesel. So sweet. With some TLC I'd DD this thing in a heartbeat! 50mph FTW!







Then found the Integra I was looking for. A '89 LS.







I jumped on that thing for 20 minutes trying to break it free. I even brought a can of WD-40 in case it was going to be tuff.... no cigar.
I posted up a WTB thread on a local forum, so maybe someone will have one laying around.

u couldnt find a piece of pipe and put it over the wrench to give you extra leverage?

Actually, that's an 86-87 integra

i have both axles from my '89 teg parts car, if you wanna pay shipping from AK you can have them.

If you notice.. ON the burnt civic, there aren't any nuts holding the VC on.. Nor are there any on the Integra VC.



I pulleed every sinc=gle one off of evrey car that had em in the whole freaking lot Having lots of time at pick N pull FTW!!!!

I just need the Drivers side. If your bored one day and can get a shipping quote on it just lmk how much it is. I'd of course like to find one locally. (zip code is 32303 btw.)
I might just take my small compressor and impact gun out there. They have wheelbarrows so it's not that bigga deal I guess.

We'll see. Maybe I can get out there Tuesday with some more tools and see what I can do.

Cordless impact gun ftw!

Scratch that. went out there this morning with a 5ft pipe and broke it loose.



The shop where I was going to have the outer hub put on was closed, so I'm calling around to see who can do it for me. Is this something I can do? Anybody know of any good links? I'm gonna do some searching and see if it's less complex than I think...

Just beat it on with a hammer.. It'll be ok

Yeah I actually rechecked the site I was getting the info from. And it said to actually use the 86-89 axle with the 90-93 inner hub.
So I pull them both apart and they won't interchange.
IDK What i'm going to do. I think I'm going to try the old stock one and see if by some strange reason it works.

i told ya a piece of pipe would help

Thats the same reason why my throttle body is messed up now: Mis-information.

It's rampant on interwebs.

Are you 100% sure it won't work? Post picarz.... Oh and I havn't told Meggie your bringing the car. Thats gonna be interesting.. She's not gonna be happy I think

Heres what I did:









This is me trying to put the '90-'93 hub on the '86-'89 axle. The "balls" are just a hair too big...


Top to bottom:
'86-'89 Integra
'90-'93 Integra

this is the same reason that I have a brand new d15b7 timing belt and my gear was advanced for no reason: Mis-fucking-information. Booo.

I forgot to tell you Andrew, that I got your measurement.. This is as close as I could get.


And I found a d15b7 w/tranny for $170.00, DELIVERED!
