Looks awsome man - my personal suggestion would be to spring for some blue Samco radiator hoses - would set off the white and black well.

for the engine bay though.

Andrew · 11-04-2006, 11:29 AM

I think I'm gonna do an SS hose look.
I plan on doing an SS/ fuel line to my fuel rail, like in this thread.
Then I'll do a catchcan install, and will eventually just have everything SS'ed.
This is my inspriation picture:

Picked up a cool slim fan today, as well as a BB/MC from a 94-98 teg:

it came stock on a mercedes (pic), but I found one a little bigger one just laying in a different mercedes, and picked it up for $25 for the fan, $25 for the BB/MC!

My bro got full carpet, weather stripping($300 per side from Honda), and matching floormats(oem), for $8.99.

According to this awsome site...

Quote:

Brake system:
If you have a DX or something similar you have a 13/16 master cylinder. That is small. 15/16" MCs that bolt right up to your stock booster are: 88-91 prelude, 89or so accord LXi, and 90-91 civic EX. You can also use the 90-93 integra 15/16 (non ABS) MC but you NEED to use the booster as well. If you want to use the DA 1" ABS MC and booster you have to put a different fitting (its larger) on one of the lines that goes into the MC.

On top of all that you can use a 1" MC from an ITR or a DC GSR. For that you will need both the MC and the booster, then you need to re-bend one of the lines to get it to bolt up. Fortunately there are no differences in the fitting sizes like with the DA 1" MC.

I personally have the DA 1" MC/booster and it is great. The fitting was kind of a pain but definitely not impossible if you own a flaring tool.

If you have disc brakes all around and they didn't come stock you probably should swap out your stock proportioning valve for one that says "40/40" on the side. This comes in Si and EX 88-91 civics, and DA integras.

It looks like I won't have any issues with my fittings going into the MC. (Am I reading the bold right?)

If so, GREAT! It seems like it's gonna be a drop in thing.
Heres the plan, and what I'll have to do to make it work-

Front
-DC Integra MC/BB. Bending 1 hardline to work. Should be able to use my EF fittings.
-Proportioning valve. I should be fine with mine. It is a 40/40, since it's an SI.
-EX Knuckles. Drop in process. Includes rotors, calipers, LCA's(I could use mine too)
-SS Braided lines. DA, EX, or for my EF. they should all be the same... right?

Rear:
-DA Integra UCA. Will act as cheap camber correction, since it's 1/16" longer.
-DA trailiing arms/brakes.
-SS Braided lines. DA, EX, or for my EF. they should all be the same... right?

Should be pretty sweet.

youll need si ones

Calesta · 11-05-2006, 10:50 PM

Andrew- my lines went straight into the 94-01 15/16 Integra master cylinder when I mounted it up on my EG.

Andrew · 11-06-2006, 07:23 AM

It's a little different on my rex.
It has the two lines on the drivers side of the MC, while the Integra MC has a line on each side.

Formby, I need SI's because of the length right? The fittings are the same, correct?

yes...

you could also use DA ones but they might be longer

Andrew · 11-06-2006, 10:47 AM

Ok, sounds fine. Thanks for the help!

I got my slim fan installed! I wired both the A/C fan switch and the engine coolant fan switch to it, so it will be used for both(since its so much bigger I don't see any problem.).

And to show how much slimmer it is... the new fan is 3 1/2", the old fan is 5 1/2"!

And I got the injectors spliced so I can get the wires in between the Intake runners so I can run the harness underneath the IM.

-Andrew

klyph · 11-06-2006, 02:14 PM

Andrew, where'd you get that slim fan? I need one for the CVCC project.

Andrew · 11-06-2006, 03:10 PM

I can pick one up for you- $40 shipped.
I got it off an old Mercedes at the junk-yard-

like I said, I'll pick one up for you if you want. It's about $25 at the junkyard, so I figure $15 for shipping and helpin me out in gas(stupid SUV... and the 'yard is way across town).
$40 shipped, and that goes for anyone that wants one.(theres only a couple out there, so if you want one, lmk asap.

Andrew · 11-06-2006, 04:16 PM

Just ordered my SS fuel line stuff!
Heres what I got:
BTW, it's all -6 AN stuff...

Andrew · 11-06-2006, 08:12 PM

I might. Let me price them out, and compare it to SS'ing it.

It'd probly be cheaper if i went to a local yard and did what you did. Thanks for the tip.

Braid your own. Wait... I have braiding machines at work.

Andrew · 11-08-2006, 08:40 AM

Help a brotha out! haha

AN Plumbing.com has pretty good prices.... and I'll be shoping around town too.
I'll figure something out, but of course it's not nessesary, so it might be a while...

Andrew · 11-14-2006, 10:51 AM

Update 11/14:

Got my Fuel line stuff in from Earl's store

-Andrew

formby · 11-14-2006, 11:01 AM

isnt that the one that needs to be flared?

could you use a dremel and cut it at the nut?

Andrew · 11-14-2006, 11:19 AM

Nvm. I got it off with a flare wrench.

Your right. My fitting won't work w/o some modification-

http://www.rywire.com/parts/parts%20038.jpg

I've got to rip off the unthreaded portion of the fitting with a dremel. see:

I'll probably do that today or tomorrow.

Motor should be done this week!
