got some presents

[87lxiaccord]

so i decided to order a 5g accord cai after seeing monkeys and thought it would be easier to install and with less bends...I didn't have to cut the intake at all or take the horn out we made the hole in the fender bigger and moved the battery tray like an inch to the drivers side and drilled new holes to screw it onto the bracket then we mounted the tie down on the other side.

other stuff that i will be putting on in a couple of days. I also put on a 1stgen integra lip and cut the ends to make it fit the 86-87 bumper it came out good but i forgot to take pictures. When we took my car for a little spin after the intake my clutch started slipping up it must be that extra horsepower...lol so i'll be replacing that too im thinkin an exedy one will do just fine.

[hotdoghogie]

damn how mcuh was all of this?

[87lxiaccord]

around 600 and i have to get the header welded by my friends dad there is an extra egr tube hole and 2 o2 sensor holes

[ghettogeddy]

what header is that and how much did u get it for

[87lxiaccord]

its the pacesetter it was 240 including shipping...wasn't too bad considering it's the coated one and it was the cheapest one on ebay at the time

[ghettogeddy]

give me the link for the dealer i might ick a set up oh and y dident u use the bypass filter on your intake

[cubert]

blah..makes me jealous...i cant wait to get the header and intake for my civic

[87lxiaccord]

i tried to get the bypass filter to fit but there wasn't enough room i can always put it on if i cut the first pipe but i think i'll just keep the short ram in the trunk and switch it out when it starts raining.

[shepherd79]

damn, that is the cold air intake i got. I haven't installed it yet because i need to drill 3 wholes for the vacuum lines.

How much bigger did you have to cut the opening in the fender for the pipe to slide through?

[EricW]

Nice stuff. Didn't you have a P&P head on the car already.

[87lxiaccord]

about 1 inch all the way around we used the good old sawsall

[87lxiaccord]

yeah we did the port n polish over the summer and port matched the manifolds

[EricW]

yeah we did the port n polish over the summer and port matched the manifolds

Then that intake and header should make a nice difference.

[87lxiaccord]

yeah i was thinking the same thing along with the coil and some new wires. I want to start auto crossing so right now i have my eye on the ST sway bars and maybe my friends dad will be able to mod a set of 4g strut bars then in the future an se-i rear brake setup with 11 inch rotors up front and some 15" rims

[MessyHonda]

nice stuff man...the intake looks good....to bad i already bought my teg one. dont weld the header...from wut i heard you can use a oil drain plug to plug em up. plus you are messing with a 240 dollar header...if you part it out you will get more money.. i also got the same header..but i want to use the DC primaries and the pacesetter downpipe. hope it works for me. how much did you get the delta for and wut grind did you get? i have an extra cam shaft but im just lazy...to send it in...now...it looks hot...i wanted a colt tho.

[snoopyloopy]

wonderful. i know what my next mod might be. which also means i'll soon have a 2g teg cai for sale.

[87lxiaccord]

i know it sounds risky to try an weld but i won't be cutting then welding it back together im just gonna weld a plate over the extra egr tube hole and o2 sensor hole. Also my friends dad is very experienced in welding his work is great. The cam is a 272 and it was around $85 but i will send my core in and get $30 bucks back

[Cheeseburger]

cant wait to see it on the car maing

holy shit...i need to jump on that...so for 55 bucks i can get a cam....woot.

[Cheeseburger]

dam that is cheap....

[snoopyloopy]

shit, son. soon as i get paid again, i might get one too.

[87lxiaccord]

so we welded my header tonight and it came out pretty good i also opened the holes on the flange up and grinded down some rough spots...

[MessyHonda]

look good man.

[LiTtLe xOx BitT]

Why did you weld up one of the o2 sensor holes? I know the other hole you welded is only for the carbed engines, but i have 2 o2 sensors on my car.

[Cheeseburger]

so do i, isnt the car going to run like crap with out them

[mkymonkey]

yeah why did you weld the 02 sensor hole?

[MessyHonda]

lol...do 86-87 EFI only use one sensor?

[speedpenguin]

Your going to have a nice-ass car once all that stuff's installed! :thumbup: I can't wait!

[shepherd79]

people, 86-87 use one O2 sensor. 88-89 have two of them.

looks good. it would be worthless for carb or 88-89 efi if you try to sell it.

[87lxiaccord]

Your going to have a nice-ass car once all that stuff's installed! :thumbup: I can't wait!
thanks man i hope so I installed my coil yesterday the wiring was pretty fun to do. Today i plan on getting my tokico's in and i'll take some pics

Shephard is correct :werd: but if i did try to sell it to someone with an 86-87 the corrections would already be made so it would be more covinient to buy a used one than having to find someone that will weld a new one for you too bad most people on here have 88-89's but i don't think i'll be selling this baby for awhile anyways

[MessyHonda]

[A18A]

nice nice, guess christmas came early this year for you??

[87lxiaccord]

well today i kinda started working late because we had to go by my uncles house to borrow his spring compressor so we only got one side done. but there is a pic of the lip also. tomorrow i will finish the other side and try to put my headers on.

[snoopyloopy]

looking good, looking good. one question, though. what spring compressor did you use?

[ghettogeddy]

looking good, looking good. one question, though. what spring compressor did you use?
looks like your basic compressor but it was 2 hooks on each one

[snoopyloopy]

oh, ahh...i see it there in the pix. i got one of those off ebay and no matter what i did, it would not fit the stock springs. so went down to autozone, w/ their loan-a-tool service, and their's wouldn't work. went to napa, and it was the same as autozone. so i ended up having to buy a $50 kit that's basically two big screws w/ hooks that go around the coils attached to them. so i must ask: did that compressor work on the stock springs too?

[ghettogeddy]

they worked on mine i used the auto zone ones where were u trinng t o put them

[snoopyloopy]

everywhere, in all kinds of configurations. i couldn't get the whole thing through the spring in a manner that allowed me to actually use it. but whatever, the one i got from pepboys is a better design anyway. although it could be somewhat of a pain to use. i'll probably just hawk the ebay one back where i got it.

[ghettogeddy]

ya sometimes u have to hammer them on i like the ones pico has there a little easyer to use

[87lxiaccord]

i don't know where the one i used this time is from because i got it from my uncle but after the first spring we stopped using the compressor since it's such a low drop there isn't any pressure on the top of the shock at all but when we did my stock springs i went to autozone and used theirs it worked but you had to put the hooks on with the wheel still on and the car jacked up that way it would stretch the spring just enough to fit the hook in and then we spun the hook all the way to the top

[killa_16]

NICE! dyno anytime soon?

[87lxiaccord]

not until i go obd1 which will prolly be next year and i need to rebuild the bottom end im just doing bolt ons for now

[gfrg88]

not until i go obd1 which will prolly be next year and i need to rebuild the bottom end im just doing bolt ons for now


do a before and after :) dyno now, and dyno when youre obd1 to see the difference :thumbup:

[87lxiaccord]

yeah true i might do that but yeah prolly not anytime soon

[snoopyloopy]

ahh, ok. so you compressed them while it was still on the car.

[87lxiaccord]

yeah ^^ so i drove on the highway with the new shocks and it made a huge difference my car used to bounce around on every dip we hit now she just glides right over them maybe tomorrow i put the header on...

[87lxiaccord]

got the headers in sunday the exhaust is much louder and the car actually vibrates lol next is the cam, an oil change, and the clutch

[MessyHonda]

looks hot did you feel a diff like in speed?

[87lxiaccord]

yeah it deffinetly likes to pull harder through second. it feels like i may have lost a little more bottom end but it may just be the intake it also seems like it gets up to high rpm quick now

[MessyHonda]

i hate to brag but that is when

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Messybone/LX-i/DSCF2203Small.jpg

comes in handy. so far we are going to have almost the same set up... i just need to install my stuff.

[speedpenguin]

Dude your car's going to be kicking some ass pretty soon!

[87lxiaccord]

thanks speedpenguin yeah i can't wait to put the cam and clutch in

messy: yeah i need one of those cam gears but i don't want to give an arm and a leg for it

[snoopyloopy]

looks real nice. and the cam will probably lend a little bit to the loss of the down low torque drop.

[87lxiaccord]

I''ve got a problem with my delta 272 we put it in and adjusted the valve to guide clearances to specs like .006 intake and .010 for exhaust and when we got done putting it back together the car would idle at around 750 rpms which is good but would idle real shitty like the timing was off and puttering like an old boat motor. We took everything back apart to retrace our steps and compare the two cams to see if delta sent the right one. They looked pretty similar so we gave the delta one more try we set it to tdc and used the marks on the back of the cam gear to asure the timing was correct then we started it back up and it ran the same. At this point i was pretty pissed so i took everything apart again and put the stock cam back in after doing the exact same steps as we did for the delta cam the car runs perfect except the timing needs to be adjusted the slightest bit which i will be doing tomorrow with a timing light. So I wanted to know what you guys think before i call delta and ask if they sent me the wrong cam...

[MessyHonda]

man that sucks
