So how is the throttle cable undone? Should I just follow it down to the pedal and undo it?

Also when you pop out the axels do you have to remove the hub assemblies and all that or just pop them out and move them out of the way?

HATCHET_HONDA · 12-09-2007, 08:23 PM

you could let em hang but it would be better to just take em off completely and set em aside.... the throttle cable should just pop off the top of the gas pedal

93civicracer · 12-09-2007, 09:37 PM

Why drop $500 on a motor and then some more bucks for a tranny, plus other miscellaneous parts and fluids you're going to need for the swap if you're just gonna do it all again a few months from now?!?

That sounds like a really dumb idea to me...just put your money towards the motor you ultimately want, and that way you can have it that much quicker. Four months isn't that long at all...

And no, you can't use headers with a turbo, at least not the kind of headers you're thinking of...

EDIT: I just remembered that this guy is temporarily banned from posting, lol... oh well, it'll be here for you when your vacation is over buddy...

Idk where you've been...but i'm a kid in highschool. Unless i'm going to buy a new car to drive until I have my b18c1 i gotta get a new engine to run until then....i'm stuck with my crappy job for like a little over a month then i'll have a good one where i can easily buy the gsr an then i'll take out the d15b an sell it. i can't just go buy the b18 though if i dont have the money....

and also, i'm going to wait on the turbo until i get the gsr...so that turbo money for the d15b is going towards the gsr engine...an you didn't sound like an ass either.

So is your car currently not running? If your motor is toast and you need to use the car, then yeah, I guess your plan is understandable. If your current motor works fine though, then I don't see the point of replacing it with a slightly better one that you're just gonna use for a few months and then swap again.

I just don't see the point of doing an "intermediate swap". A swap is always going to cost you more than just the price of the motor, even if you're doing it yourself. Don't forget all the fluids you're going to need, plus any tools, miscellaneous parts, engine hoist, etc. My point is why waste any money on that when you're just going to be doing it again in a few months? Just save your money towards the B18 and you'll have it that much quicker.

Like I said though, if your current motor is toast, then I understand.

**92BooSTeD[eG]** · 12-12-2007, 12:56 AM

Ya my car currently runs but i'm going through atleast 2 quarts of oil per. week....so it's pretty much done...thats why i gotta get the d15b....and i work at an autobody shop, toos, engine hoist/car lift and mechanics that'll help for free, along with free shipping of the motor because my work has a deal with the place i'm getting the motor from so it's all pretty good. then i can sell the motor for the exact price i bought it for, (-) the fluids. So it's not to bad, but ya it's not the route i'd like to go guys....shit happens though.

The O2 heater is not connected with the engine heating/cooling system. If your coolant gets hot; then you can have heat.

What he is trying to say is, Bank1, sensor 2. (p1162) i beleive is the code, heated oxygen sensor. It is used after the catalytic converter normally and really doesnt affect your A/F ratio. The main o2 sensor on the other hand will. take it out and let it just hang. The car will run fine, it will just run super rich. I did this when I boosted my d16 in my old car. My fuel system had problems so I couldnt put it all in except for the pump, so to compensate (temporarily) i took the o2 out. But last I checked, obd1 runs with ONE o2 sensor, not two.

Hahaha. Ya my car is dying =\

HATCHET_HONDA · 12-12-2007, 01:42 PM

when i swapped my d15b i really wanted a b series of some sort. a B is definatly in the works still but for now the d series boosts me around just fine.

**92BooSTeD[eG]** · 12-12-2007, 01:44 PM

Ya that's pretty much what i'm doing too. The bseries will be in it in the next few months. But as being a kid and only having one car...i gotta get to school an finish that up before i can start working full time to buy the gsr..haha it's gay but gotta do it i guess

yea the gsr motor is whut im gonna build too, and i only have the hatch to drive so im thinkin of buyin a P.O.S. kia for $200 to drive to work in the meantime

**92BooSTeD[eG]** · 12-13-2007, 11:48 AM

Ya well my dad has a truck that he only drives on the weeks an my brothers car just sits around here too...but i guess i'm supposed to be taking care of all this myself...so thats what i'm tryin to do. gay

93civicracer · 12-13-2007, 05:05 PM

If I had another car I'd definately go with a B-series. That's what I originally planned. But then I got to thinking my civic's my only car and I don't make much money so it'll be my daily driven well-maintained d15b vtec powered Honda Civic with i/h/e for a little get-up and go

.

Then much later it'll be sleeved, with vitara pistons and eagle rods, turbocharged and tuned for hopefully 350-400 whp when I learn how to work with internals and get more experienced and edumacated

.

**92BooSTeD[eG]** · 12-13-2007, 07:06 PM

Exactly!^^^^

HATCHET_HONDA · 12-14-2007, 02:52 AM

thats the way to go...i actually just picked up a b18c block from a dude i know..cylinders r in good shape but no internals . so im really starting from scratch. gotta love them winter projects! ebay's gonna be my new best friend

**92BooSTeD[eG]** · 12-14-2007, 10:24 AM

lol ebay is already one of my best friends!!!

[quote=93civicracer;901052] Thanks for the info on the slave cylinder I think bleeding it would have sucked ass.

You're doing a swap, which I acknowledge, isn't difficult, and you can't bleed a slave cylinder? Hondas aren't hard but seriously. There's talk of a rear disc conversion...how are you gonna do a rear disc conversion, which you will have to bleed after install, if you can't bleed a slave??? Just curious...

93civicracer · 12-16-2007, 10:51 PM

I'm not doing a rear disc conversion. And I've never bled a slave cylinder before so I was asking.
