o, i almost forgot to mention...the damn tranny is really taking some getting used to lol. cant get used to it being geared that low at all...cruisin on interstate in 5th runnin almost 4k, definately a change for me.

okay, i'm beginning to think theres something very wrong with my timing. These symptoms seem to be progressively getting worse. At least, its worse now than a few days ago. Its to the point now where it almost wil not accelerate above 3500 rpm if i give it even a little more gas than normal...

okay, let me try this then heres my attempt at posting my pic from the gallery

well, a couple guys I've talked to that tune race cars and shit said they had to go to Louisville. I can't remember the name of the shop...I'll have to ask and find out. I'll let ya know. By the way, where u at in southern ohio? not like ironton or ashland or huntington or anything is it? I...

Heres my pic. Its from last year, but I can't find the damn cable to my digital cam to put new pics on the comp. I REALLY need to find it, need to save some pics I took of the swap. Sorry, I can't figure out how in the hell to upload images (i need step-by-step people), so I'll just throw up...

or you could just drop larry a line at: staff@theoldone.com they sell parts directly, just do it thru email. not sure if theres a price difference or not, worth checking up on tho.

okay, after test driving today and getting a few other opinions from the guys I work with...we all agree with what you guys have said. its the ecu. Its not that its actually cutting out, its more like its popping and cracking and feels like its loosing power in and out as I give it gas. It...

actually i run 98-100 octane in it already. 93 and octane boost (non-methanol) at every fill up.

I finally finished the swap. Worked out all the little bugs and fixed all the little things we happened to leave loose and looked over somehow. I do have a question though, the motor seems to be idling a little rough and sometimes feels as if its missing when vtec is almost ready to kick in...

my advice, find a junk yard somewhere near you and look for a 99-00 civic si that has been absolutely totaled. The single plug you need to re-wire your harness should still be intact. Most places will try to make you buy the entire harness, so dont tell them exactly what you're lookin for...

I'm not quite sure where you're coming from there, but... as far as I know, the larger the turbo, the more potential for higher psi. Thats why all of these 8 second pro drag FWD 4 cylinders are pushing over 30 psi of boost. The turbos are absolutely huge. But, as you stated, there is quite a...

if you are really lazy (like me) and dont wanna do a bunch of sanding or wiping off oily residue, then get a can of acetone. Pretty much the same shit as your girlfriend's nail-polish remover, but without the pink dye and in a concentrated form. You shouldn't even have to scrub, it should rub...

alright, I'll try the parts store again tomorrow. Damn, I was really hopin to get this swap finished tomorrow and start it to see if I throw any codes. Maybe Advance can overnight a hose and get it to me by thursday. I'll let ya know how it turns out.

which one you talkin about?

Okay, most of you probably already know I'm about done with my swap now. Got paid today, picked up my radiator hoses I had ordered, picked up my oil, Honda MTF, and coolant...and just as I thought, something had to go wrong. The upper radiator hose was of the "flex hose" variety, 1.25 inner...

have to diagree with ya on the "fuck superchargers" bit. An Endyn modified Jackson Racing superrcharger (you buy the blower, send it to em, let em bore it, put a different pulley on, etc) and you can be pushing 15-20 lbs of boost. Plus, there is no spool up time, and IMHO adding a turbo to a...

Okay, I take it that the same (with the boiling points and shit) would go for a manual trans? I've got a Y21 and have not yet put oil in the engine or trans due to not having funds to "complete" my swap yet (its all I lack). Trans calls for 10w30, Just wondering if synthetic in the trans is a...

...Or...you could just have your ecu chipped for like $150 shipped and keep your p30. up to you. most all of those aftermarket chips eliminate the knock sens. anyway. Send a pm on here to AllMotorMonster. He can help ya with the details.

Just wanted to let you guys know. I was able to figure out all the wiring using AllData diagrams (even though it took more than 1 1/2 weeks, 6 hours a day to wire it all up. (Sir2 into a 96 Civic DX Coupe). I'll be writing up wiring diagrams after I get the car running, still lack my radiator...

If the black carbon buildup is extremely bad, to the point of staining your bumper and/or building up really thick inside the tip, yeah, you might wanna check some shit out. But if the inside of the tip is just black (even if its REALLY black, so long as its not super thick) then don't worry...
