D16y8 n/a build

[philyphreak2127]

Things to get done before friday:
bleed clutch
do front brakes
replace left cv axle
put in the new motor mount
top off all fluids
wire vtec possibly
bolt in my rear seatbelts
replace exhaust gasket
check for spark
I would also like to take out my seats, and center console and vacuum my car. It needs it badly.

All this stuff should get done by friday if I have time.

Got the axle done, tested for spark: none, checked for power headed to the distributor: was getting power so I replaced the distributor. Install new distributor, cv axle, and motor mount. Dicked with it tonight and nothing came out of it. Sounds much better like it wants to start but nothing. Checked spark again and nothing. I don't get it. ordered B&M fuel pressure regulator, and accel supertune kit.

Timing?

 

[raceinspiredrex]

even with the timing off, shouldn't it still have spark?

 

[philyphreak2127]

not always. sometimes if spark is far enough out it will screw with your spark. But I have checked and rechecked my timing and it lines up according to the b7 cam gear, should I try and swap my y8 cam gear back on and time it with that just to see if it makes a difference?

Minor update I recieved and installed my fuel pressure regulator. I am very happy with the way it looks, and how easy it was to install. I would recommend them to anyone. so far...

i borrowed a blox fpr and b&m fuel pressure gauge from a buddy but he needed them back, so i ordered my own. i need to switch them, but it's a black blox fpr and looks sick. i can't wait to get everything swapped over. knowing it's your own is a good feeling. blox lca's are on too, just thought i'd throw that out there lol. good luck man

 

[philyphreak2127]

you too. you got any pics of your car anywhere? shoot me a link or post pics! I got some pics to post too.

We got around to goofing around with my turbo in the engine bay. My d15b7 exhaust manifold almost fits my turbo flange, it will have to be modified to fit but I have already been measuring the cuts I have to make and the holes I need to drill for the bolts. I still need to pick some more stuff up before I have the full kit but I am not going to focus on that for a long time. If I were to find stuff at a good deal I might pick it up. I can get all my oil, and coolant lines at work which is sick.

 

[philyphreak2127]

Don't know if mentioned it but right now the car is practically gutted so it can be vacuumed. It needs it badly. In the process I will adjust my e-brake, replace any burnt out fuses I might have, and put the interior all back together when I am done.

 

[raceinspiredrex]

[raceinspiredrex]

sorry been busy with fam visiting and also trying to figure out the dilemma with my tint. in the pics i'm gonna post, i didn't have tint. anyways, i don't like what i got, so i'm paying a little extra to get it redone. i got 18% and it's too dark for me. both at night looking out and on the outside, it doesn't look good at all in my opinion. i'm getting it redone so i'm trying to figure out exactly what i want to go with this time. you guys have any suggestions? pics? thanks man

 

[raceinspiredrex]

sorry it took so long, had family in town for my cousin's wedding, but here ya go...

the first picture is with my recent tint job and taken with a crappy cell phone, i'm getting it re-tinted lighter soon. the rest are before my tint job...
