So I've been going to the junk yard for the last few weeks picking up a few parts here and there. Including new throttle cable, new starter, a preface lift bumper swap, a mint set of cup holders, a new air condition vent, a new 2gee valve cover for a little project of mine, oh and an ugly set of steelies with 205/70/14 sized tires for $100! lol my wheels were bald otherwise i would have never bought those wheels

Here are some nice pixors.....

here are my cupholders and reinstalled alpine deck

yo bro i like the cup holders where and from what car did you snag it from i want some for my car and we have the same color car and i always wanted a coupe

dacantu
11-25-2009, 09:14 PM
They were in another 89 LX-i coupe here in a junkyard. I'm not exactly sure if they were an option in 89 on models besides the SE-i though. I know for a fact that they came on the SE-i. but like I said I found them on an LX-i

Theyre a noce upgrade :D i have a little cup air freshener in them right now lol

Nice Work dacantu.

thats a good idea. Im going to do that tomorrow now that you mention it because I have to take out the stereo to fix my antenna that doesnt have very good reception right now and i'll run the cable through the flip down door. good call pico, thanks.

nice but its hard to find se i around here

yeah like I said theres an SE-i at a JY here with shitty cupholders that are all broken and painted and what not, but I found these in an LX-i that had a mint beige interior also all that was wrong with the car was that it was in a fender bender accident.

dacantu
11-27-2009, 02:24 AM
I get them brand new and I can get you one from a 4th gen accord or 2nd gen integra (90-93) it just depends what the place has in stock when I call. Mine is from a 2nd gen teg but I personally like how the 4th gen accord CAI's look once theyre modified. the downside to those is that they are harder to make short ram intakes when it rains because the coupler is in a different place.

Lol thanks CAH man. Yeah i love the pre-facelift front end. Ive noticed alot of people who's cars come with the pre-facelift fascia tend to swap for facelift fascia and those who's cars came with the facelift like mine tend to swap for pre-facelift. :D

Im still trying to get used to it i love the overal look of the bumper. im just not used to it after seeing my car with the facelift bumper all my life lol

okay another little update......
so those last picks I posted were from last monday (11/23/2009)

and here are some pics as of today (11/28/2008)

heres the 2gee valve cover from when I picked it up this past monday.
http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv153/dacantu/IMG_0047.jpg


heres the valve cover as of now. It still needs a few minor touch ups but what i did was sand it down, polish it, then primered it, then painted the center section with a blue paint, then covered over the blue with 2 AEM decals that came with my CAI. After I carefully placed the AEM stickers on the blue paint I reprimered the whole thing, then I gave it three coats of white paint. After the white paint dried i slowly removed the AEM stickers revealing the blue paint underneath. I also painted the little bolts and oil cap blue to match. Like I said a few touch ups are required but all in a days work. hope you guys like it...
http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv153/dacantu/IMG_0059.jpg




heres my original engine bay about 2 months ago. 100% stock. omg I cant imagine going back to such a horrbile engine bay! lol
http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv153/dacantu/IMG_0439.jpg


heres my engine bay from last weekend 11/23/2009 newly installed DC headers, and AEM CAI
http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv153/dacantu/IMG_0038.jpg
http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv153/dacantu/IMG_0039.jpg


And heres my engine bay with a newly painted AEM Cold Air Intake, new optima red top batt, and test fitting my new 2gee valve cover (I still need to do a few touch ups if you look at the letters on the bottom they look horrible) I'm resanding that section and repainting it white.
http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv153/dacantu/IMG_0053.jpg
http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv153/dacantu/IMG_0055.jpg




I also need some input with this................ I had it on my red valve cover and am really contemplating getting a blue one or another one of these gray ones for the new valve cover. but as you guys can see it would connect to the top of this valve cover rather than behind it. so it would have trouble clearing once the hood is down. I have considered drilling a hole in the hood just big enough for this to pop out enough to clear. I thought that this would look pretty cool and something that no one has done for such a small mod. I would like all of your guys input with this. I'm not so sure I want a vacuum hose coming from such a nice valve cover going to the CAI??????

11-28-2009, 01:50 AM
damn that came out nice! and im pretty sure the hood will close just fine with the air filter there! if not u could always get a curved PCV for $3 and put it in its place then attach the filter to it :)

You might be right about it clearing just fine i just didnt bother checking. I automaticallu assumed it wouldnt. Anywho thanks for the compliment man :D

Look man the way i look at it it would be too ridiculous of a cost to have me paint a valve cover for u. To send me your VC it would cost like $20 tgen supplies would be about 20 also (primer paint, color of choice, and sandpaper) then at this point I wouldnt even know what to charge you im guessing like $30 for all the work? And 20 to ship it back.

What im thinking is I can send you my red VC if youre interested or when i go up for the Socal meet jn march I can help you paint yours for free as long as you do the sanding and take care of the supplies

does that make sense?

Well i will be getting rid of my dc headers and AEM intake around early febuary maybe march. Im getting a turbo setup and my engine bay will require drastic mods. So if youre interested let me know. I can tell you I sure feel the difference.

Heres some pics with my old wheels back on there. I gave up on the steelies they were way to big and now I have $115.00 credit at the pull apart from returning the wheels. This is gonna help sice my tranny decided to crap on me this past monday. Now I can do a 5 speed swap :D

I really like this one

http://i679.photobucket.com/albums/vv153/dacantu/IMG_0069.jpg

I'll also be doing the pinchfork mod pretty soon to even out the ride height of the front of the car with the back. you can tell here that its just a bit higher.

I also have a set of rear disks that will be going on soon.

and now the car is in for a 5 speed swap since my tranny just died.

I'll have all of the time to do these mods because i'll be on winter break very soon and i get a whoole month of vacation.

i am well aware of how expensive everything is going to be and how hard its going to get but im up for the challenge.

I'm not telling you it's better to buy a newer or better car, or your car is not worth modding, but you should temper your hopes with some realism (zomg I can understand what you wrote!).

give it time, i have plenty of it. and like a fore mentioned i have goals for the car. whether they be realistic or not is really up to me and what I make of the opportunities ahead. I really hope to one day prove to you that only because your reality is limited mine is not. I would appreciate it if you could no longer post in my thread. thanks

You realize he's been under these cars for at least 9 years. In the 2 years I've been on here, I've seen at least 7-8 people saying similar things you are, but I think I've only seen 1 or 2 have done... anything... they said they would. If your budget and resources are that vast, then we shall see one hell of a car.

What he is saying, is these motors can't really put out more than 180hp N/A, and that's getting far into the "unreliable" stage. You can get a lot more power from turbo, but again, it's getting unreliable unless you completely rebuild your engine with the BEST stuff you find, which is work on it's own, and when you're done, you're into it a good 3.5-4g's, and after you got that reliable 250-275hp, you still got 20 y/o suspension that would need serious rebuilding so you can use all that nice power.

BUT! If you want the most power out of your 3g, you gotta listen to the veterans.



Look into some upgrade intake manifolds for a quick, but nice gain. MessyAccord had a thread somewhere, I'll find it.

yeah i realize that bass. and he probably knows a hell of alot more than i do right now i dont deny that. but you know bass being that im mexican alot of people have always tried to shoot me down. alot of people always told me that i wasnt capable of doing anything after high school. (not because im not smart but simply because the percentage of mexicans that have a post high school education is so low) but look at me right out of high school i began going to college at Arizona State. Im in my sophomore year now and im rocking it.

Im not saying that he is trying to put me down because im mexican but i am saying that anything is possible. and who is to say that i wont have the same knowledge one day that he currently has. i really do enjoy when i am given a challenge and yes this car is going to be a challenge but nothing is impossible in life. i'm excited for what the project has to offer and i hope you guys stay tuned for it. especially you alex :D whether it takes me 1,2, or 20 years. i promise you it will be done!

ive been talking to alot of vets thats the thing bass. there are alot of nice people on here that are willing to help out. but when your first impression of a person is an insult well thats their opinion. and for all i care they can keep it to themselves.

I know ill need a serious engine rebuild and suspension rebuild. these are all things that im going to work on.... and im aware of the power restrictions. thats why i said the fastest possible A20 not 3gee. im surethere will be guys faster than me with their b18s and b20s 3gees but i want to keep it with its original motor and suck every last pony out of it that i can.

I said it before, a mile starts with a foot. I don't have an income (or any other tuners around here), or my goals would be up there with the rest of them... Exhaust the little things that are inexpencive and have fun with your car untill you can afford a big thing all at once.
We're building a Suzuki G16A for my dad's Samurai and the block has been sitting in the garage with plastic wrap around it for almost a year.. We'll be in it $6-700 when it's done, but I don't really have the time to piece it together right now.

I have no bills to pay, i have a cell phone and its only 50 a month for that, i live at school during the week, and with my parents on the weekends. school is payed for 100% i dont have to pay a dollar out of pocket for tuition, books, or housing, and food. not a single $1. in january I will be getting between $5,500 and $6,500 in extra money for myself from scholarships that i have qualified for. all of this money will be going to my car.


here is my current timeline:

winter break will be well spent putting together a very long list of parts to purchase very soon.

january will be spent in school, purchasing the list of parts, and waiting for them to be delivered.

february will be spent dedicated to school completely

march will be spent in school, spring break will be spent with endless days and nights and i mean endless working on my car and installing/ all the new parts and modifying those that have to be modified to fit.

april will be school

and from may until the Medford meet its going to be 100% car.

so you guys will see an enormous transformation from here until july.

I was gonna suggest the OBD1 swap, but I forgot about it. I don't know how well that will do for turbo unless you get bigger injectors or something like that. I'm an N/A guy myself (gotta be... I got a carb.. heh) so I don't know MUCH about turbo setups. I want to do Propane turbo. 110 octane @ $2 a gallon, and not much for HP loss. Plus an $800 tax credit.

Damn your car is serious! I have never seen your car before! WoW! serious interior you have man. is it not street legal? i just got a quick glimpse of it. didnt read anything but its in my bookmarks for later.

Btw guys this is a great first impression from a veterean! lol thanks bobafett

I dont know how much money has been spent on the car in the last 5-6 years. More than I care to remember. And lots of it was 'free'. There is EASILY 10k in to the car (probably more like 15), but as modded cars go it's certainly not worth 10-15k.

I have built the car specifically to still be street legal. it has all the luxuries, including reverse lights, headlights (manually cranked), and turn signals.

PS this car is still not turbocharged, and hardly gets driven cause its such a PITA. But if/when i finish the build it will be a 300+ whp tractionless whore. :)

I know how that goes.

Me: I bought a truck
Girl: Really, for how much?
Me: $100
Girl: Wow, does it run?
Me: I'm not sure, and if it does it won't stop cuz the brakes are blown out
Girl: WTF is the point then?
Me: I want to fix it up

Now I have a nicely running vintage truck that is probably faster than my 3gee. And working on it has kept me happy and sane these last few months.

lol at the whole dacantu vs alex thing allways intresting to see how one newer member reacts when they meet the one and only alex :)

alex is right in a big way tho, building an a20a to be the fastest is going to be very very expensive and not really practical, not to say it cant be done tho lol, im hoping that my old a20a will be on that list when ever shane starts building the beast

Rendon LX-i
12-07-2009, 11:18 PM
WHOAAAA. i didnt catch none of this SO yes Alex im going to throw the yello flag out NOW LOL....First off Alex is a good guy. Known him for awhile now met him and some of the vets on this board. Learned alot Dacatu. We just speak how we speak. Not to be cocky or w/e's TO me he didnt tell you in a bad way saying that you better give up now. YOU should of seen the shit he told ME LOL. not even playing wey. BUT i just brushed it off. No reason to get all upset. None of the guys on here Taught i would be boosted. Anywho. Me and the few that say some smart comments are just to push in a way to say GO for it. Thats how i felt.....



I'm not telling you it's better to buy a newer or better car, or your car is not worth modding, but you should temper your hopes with some realism (zomg I can understand what you wrote!).

I don't tell anyone to do shit to their car, I am wholly realistic/logical when it comes to these cars.

Josh, I see you haven't given him any reality chat ;)

HEHE a im shy okay LOL. JK....i did trust me but i took it alittle easy on him....But seems like i missed all the action LOL.


give it time, i have plenty of it. and like a fore mentioned i have goals for the car. whether they be realistic or not is really up to me and what I make of the opportunities ahead. I really hope to one day prove to you that only because your reality is limited mine is not. I would appreciate it if you could no longer post in my thread. thanks



lol we'll see about that bass.

BRO BRO BRO. Theres no one to prove but yourself. You have to prove to yourself that you can take a task. I had no buddy build my shit. i build all my shit...IF i couldnt do it then why build the car. I told myself if i cant put this block together then im going to sell the accord. Took me awhile but i got it done. Just do it and surpise everyone carnal. Thing is alot of guys here dont like seening Im going to OR im buying soon....Type of shit. I like to surpise the guys and show em at the end.......Like i said Alex knows his shit. at one time i didnt like him either but he taught me a few things. Good guy to hang out with.


You realize he's been under these cars for at least 9 years. In the 2 years I've been on here, I've seen at least 7-8 people saying similar things you are, but I think I've only seen 1 or 2 have done... anything... they said they would. If your budget and resources are that vast, then we shall see one hell of a car.

What he is saying, is these motors can't really put out more than 180hp N/A, and that's getting far into the "unreliable" stage. You can get a lot more power from turbo, but again, it's getting unreliable unless you completely rebuild your engine with the BEST stuff you find, which is work on it's own, and when you're done, you're into it a good 3.5-4g's, and after you got that reliable 250-275hp, you still got 20 y/o suspension that would need serious rebuilding so you can use all that nice power.

BUT! If you want the most power out of your 3g, you gotta listen to the veterans.



Look into some upgrade intake manifolds for a quick, but nice gain. MessyAccord had a thread somewhere, I'll find it.

Yea i agree. Listen man. Listen and listen take notes and listen an some more notes. Thats all i fucking did for the first 3 years. Then i started wrenching. Now i teach guys like you to Slap a turbo on. I like to help out guys like you. WHY because when i wanted to boost i got my ass flammed LOL. Like O you cant do it. TO much money. GET A CIVIC i mean it was endless.


yeah i realize that bass. and he probably knows a hell of alot more than i do right now i dont deny that. but you know bass being that im mexican alot of people have always tried to shoot me down. alot of people always told me that i wasnt capable of doing anything after high school. (not because im not smart but simply because the percentage of mexicans that have a post high school education is so low) but look at me right out of high school i began going to college at Arizona State. Im in my sophomore year now and im rocking it.

Im not saying that he is trying to put me down because im mexican but i am saying that anything is possible. and who is to say that i wont have the same knowledge one day that he currently has. i really do enjoy when i am given a challenge and yes this car is going to be a challenge but nothing is impossible in life. i'm excited for what the project has to offer and i hope you guys stay tuned for it. especially you alex :D whether it takes me 1,2, or 20 years. i promise you it will be done!

A im PURO AMERICAN BEANER. but thats nothing to do with how the guys treat one other around here. Alex is not racest. he owns a Color tv. Ive seen it in person LOL. j/k wey BUT really man. DONT LET THE GUYS GET TO YOU. BUT if sTAK does then thats okay. He likes to piss you off.......TOok me since 00 to get where im at. AND look i got your CHONIES all wet LMFAO. An im not that well at skool either but when it comes to auto its like a drug i just know how to do it.


ive been talking to alot of vets thats the thing bass. there are alot of nice people on here that are willing to help out. but when your first impression of a person is an insult well thats their opinion. and for all i care they can keep it to themselves.

I know ill need a serious engine rebuild and suspension rebuild. these are all things that im going to work on.... and im aware of the power restrictions. thats why i said the fastest possible A20 not 3gee. im surethere will be guys faster than me with their b18s and b20s 3gees but i want to keep it with its original motor and suck every last pony out of it that i can.

LIKE ME? lol.


omfg, are you really playing the race card? lol

Ok.

I'm out.

WHAT.....? RACE CARD. im down. when you want to do it. youll smoke me but a ill be right on ya LOL.

I know what im talking bout LOL. I owned a F22 cb7 at one time. Nice motors and very reliable.......After a good 2 years it started smoking and loosing massive oil. so i just sold it.

They replaced the A with a F because as years go by you have to redesign things. Why would you put a A series in a 95 accord. LOL you get me. So they would have to replace it with something newer and better. For MPG reasons. And SMog.

So either way there good. But i beat em regradless....But i think my motor taking a toll after all the races ive done.

whoa whoa whoa... Fs are not a joke nor are they garbage if someone were to put the same amount of money in to a F that someone were to put in to a A20a the F would be faster hands down, same goes for about any engine that's built with newer technology.
D's may not be the greatest thing Honda every made but if you pump around $1200 in to them u will be pushing 400WHP now can you say that for the A20A i don't think so.

The a20a is a great reliable engine that is one of the most reliable Honda engines built but it is far from being one of the best performance wise now a days as its out dated technology .

So of course you can build a fast A20A but if you put that same amount of money in to building a GSR, Type R, H22 ETC the newer engine will always be faster
Same goes with the H vs K K will be faster then H if there both fully maxed out

^F's are useless? i was going to stay outa this thread but sir your talking about the engine that REPLACED the A motor, has most of the good qualitys of the A and did away with some of the bad, F can still hold boost like nothing, very tourqy for a single cam. etc etc sounds kinda like the A doesnt it lol, sorry end rant

LOL......I knew i would get you both guys to attack me. Well put it this way. When i was n/a i smoked a 92 cb7 with i/h/e and all i had was a intake and exhuast i beat him by 2 cars. Not saying a F series is totaly garbage but I owned and never liked em. They feel gutless. Unless you have them built and boosted. I was tie with one from launch to end of the 1/4 SO no for a fact there not faster then a A. IF so the driver is pretty stupid LOL.

Look there good motors an so are As. But you can Do the Cheap route and boost the A and run 15 psi all day long and wont blow. So there ways around the bush without OBD1......

O COME ON CAH....hands down. Hell no son.

Hands down there both good engines. doesnt matter of the newer technology. Its all how you build the motor and comp ratio, and boost, tunning...exc.

1,200 and push 400whp PFFFFFFF hell no...my buddy dumped bout 2 gs in his vatura build and barely pushing 300. Tuned. CAH stop trying to make me look dum. LOL not gonna happen son.

Why whould you say that H,K well alwasy be faster LOL. you hang around cb7 tunner to much cah. Time to lay off the crack.

and shyboy is your car a coupe? if it is does it have a tan interior? because if it does then we would have twins once i get the 5 speed swap done.

lol man i wish i had a coupe but i have a sedan and same color inside but painted console black and gonna swap lower dash to dark grey and swap a 1992 accord driver seat with armrest one seat

It's sitting just like the last picture on my thread...:hmph:

We went wheeling Sunday and my dad broke a rear axle, so I am in the middle of fixing that so he can go this weekend. I gotta take both axles out so I can get the differencial out so I can get the chunk of spline still in the side gear, that and I gotta get the big chunks floating in the oil.
I'll be done with that tomorrow, though.

On a happy note, I got my green sedan back together and off the jack-stand, so now I can wheel it in the garage and start stripping it.:thumbup:

Oh damn guys soooooooooooooooooo the Rota J-mags ive been ranting on about for sooo long have finally gotten here. Unfortunately when i put my down the $300.00 originally I had the other $560.00 i was going to owe. Right now im at $0 after buying the Teg. Included in that price are a set of 205/40/16 Toyo Tires so dont think i got ripped off on the wheels guys.

Either way the guy from the VRS (where i bought them) is cool with waiting for a little while since I did actually wait for the rims to be delivered since 9/12/2009. So i let him know that i have no job and no cash and that ill be paying as soon as i get a job.

The rims are so freaking sexy its not even funny they shine like no other and will look facking sexy on my car. ugh i cant wait! lol ill keep yo guys posted.

Oh and about the car well its still sitting at my mechanics until tomorrow that is. I has a $115 credit at the JY for when i returned the steelies (shown in previous pics) im going to be using that for when I go tomorrow to grab a few pieces to do the 5 speed swap. I already know that its going to cost $150 for all the parts is what I was quoted.

So does anyone know what I should pic up as far as parts for the swap first?

dacantu
12-23-2009, 05:57 PM
alright well i really need to get my car back on the road considering its still insured, was my daily, and has plates until oct/1010.

So i went to the JY today and started looking at some accords... theres atleast 20+ accords there. i was searching for the right cars to source my tranny parts from but damn was i overwhelmed. i really dont look forward to the 5 speed swap anymore considering i really dont know which parts i really need and in what order i need to do it. i looked at some threads on 5 speed swaps and it seems that everyone already has an idea of what theyre doing and leave certain things out.

I know this is very noobish of me but i seriously have no idea where to even start. like i said i looked at the how to's but didnt quite understand them because i dont know part names yet.

here are my questions:
=what would be the first thing I do to make my life easier and maake the task less overwhelming?
=should i pull the motor or just drop the tranny out from under?
=what tools will i need besides a 12,14,15mm wrenches? oh and a 32mm for the axle also right?
=i am getting a carbed tranny and I have an 89 is it true that i can only use 88,89 trannys?
=can it be done alone?
=1 jack or 2 jacks? and where exactly to place them.
=can somone recommend a certain order in which to pull the tranny out of the parts car?

thanks in advanced guys.....

here are my questions:
=what would be the first thing I do to make my life easier and maake the task less overwhelming?Take the dash out (you should get the cluster, anyway), and pull the motor.
=should i pull the motor or just drop the tranny out from under?
=what tools will i need besides a 12,14,15mm wrenches? oh and a 32mm for the axle also right?
=i am getting a carbed tranny and I have an 89 is it true that i can only use 88,89 trannys? I got an 87 bolted to an 88 motor, so I think you can get away with it. The carbed trannies have longer gears, so you should find an LX-i tranny so you don't wish you would have later. Unless you do turbo.
=can it be done alone? Depends. I do everything by myself, but I usually have the right tools (or replica's... heh)
=1 jack or 2 jacks? and where exactly to place them. 1 at least. You really do need an engine hoist.
=can somone recommend a certain order in which to pull the tranny out of the parts car? Everything on this car is meant to come apart as quick as possible, so before getting frustrated in 1 spot, think of how the stealership would do it. The battery tray is kinda in the way of the harness, and the battery is in the way of the tray...

thanks in advanced guys.....

So i dropped the tranny out of the accord just yesterday. im a noob it took the entire day. lmao.

Thats where the car sits until i leave in a few minutes to start dropping a tranny out of a junkyard car. Will be getting the pedal assembly, shift linkage, no gauges (I want to know my origiinal mileage), clutch cable, rear tranny mount, and I already have the ECU. Does anyone know if i'm missing something else that I need?

And also heres some goodies that I grabbed today finally :) Ive been waiting for these since the day I ordered them 9/12/2009. They got in a couple days before Christmas but I was out of cash to pay the remaining $560 and sold my 87 teggy for $800 to be able to pay for them.

Anyways guys here they are in the back of my DA hatch. There Rota J Mags 16"ers with Toyo proxes 205/40/16's payed a grand total of $940 with the extended studs and purple lug nuts. aghh theyre so nice.

01-06-2010, 12:58 PM
so they didn't even put the tires on the wheels for that price?

i'm gonna blow the ripoff whistle...


as for the tranny questions, you asked what sizes you'll need, you will never need a 15mm wrench or socket on any honda unless the bolt is not stock.

you will need an assortment of 10/12/14/17/19/32, really nothing else... as for it taking a day, that's not too bad, you should spend 3-4 hours at a junkyard in june getting a first gen integra trans out becuase one of the rear bolts was stripped with limited tool supply lol... i feel that me and angus should have framed that bolt, it literally took about 2 hours just on that bolt.

as for the rest of the swap just take your time, don't rush anything, buy new parts for a lot of the wear parts, axle seals, clutch, throwout bearing, i'd check all the boots and everything when the tranny is out, if anything is cracked or torn i'd replace it. this is why i don't budget build anything.

dacantu
01-06-2010, 06:07 PM
thanks for the info man. And yeah I know it was a little expensive but I think after all i will be super happy with these wheels plus i got a free mounting and balancing from my old neighbors who own a used tire shop... so eh.

as for all the info on the swap I appreciate it man, i went to the yard today and scoped some accords found the one im going to remove the tranny from. I was going to do it today but didnt have some of the tools and will go tomorrow and take a buddy with me to help out.

I only have one more question. Whats the throw out bearing pat?

Thanks again

stat1K
01-06-2010, 06:23 PM
well at least you have that neighbor.

the throwout bearing is the bearing that pushes on the clutch to engage and disengage it...

part number 1 here

http://www.hondapartsnow.com/online/part-images/Illustration/459339.png

22810-PC8-921 BEARING, CLUTCH RELEASE (NIPPON SEIKO) $52.35 $37.69

52.35 if you buy it at the dealer, 37.69 if you buy it from hondapartsnow.com

i'd buy 5 too since it's cheap and they break pretty easily.

22851-PC8-A00 is the part number but it's not available online so maybe get by without buying it, but i'd call honda and see if they can get it for you. a lot of the order in parts aren't going to be available anymore because the car is now past the 20 yr parts cutoff from the dealers. after a car is 20 years old they'll stop ordering parts, at least that's what i've been told from hondapartsnow and majestic.

Thanks alot guys. i was just going to throw everything in there the way it came except for a new clutch and lighten the flywheel. I'm really excited about this project because ive already learned so much more about how cars function.

Thanks so much guys my goal to finish with the tranny and some visual upgrades for the car are by jan 16th for a Accord and Prelude meet here in Phoenix.

01-06-2010, 07:53 PM
You shouldn't lighten the flywheel on these, only go aluminum if you want lighter. I spent a couple minutes talking with a machinest and he said they tend to get brittle if you go much less than stock, and they can explode. I told him I only wanted to go 15% at most and he said it wasn't worth it.

I just did all this work to my tranny while I had it out:
I replaced the rear main on the motor while the flywheel was off, too.
Since my flywheel and pressure plate looked awesome with no burn marks and even pressure, I took a scotch-brite to them. My clutch was a little shiney so I took a layer off it till it wasn't shiney.
Replaced both axle seals. $17 at Shucks
Replaced the throw-out bearing. $32 at napa. It surprised me, cuz Sidekick T/O's are $60.

I think I'll be good for another 100k miles on the tranny. The motor probably wont last 20k till it needs a new bottom end (unless it's just detonating and I don't know it).

That tire/wheel package looks insane!! How much do those wheels wieght?

01-06-2010, 08:30 PM

Oh and Bass about the wheel weight I dont know but I will weight them later for you. Theyre stored in my mechanics storage shed until the car gets back on the road. The tires are already mounted though so i can only give you the weight of the wheels w/tires.

Thanks for noticing them though man, glad you like them. :)

Replace the clutch throw out bearing spring (#5 in the diagram) , I didn't in one of the last clutches I did in 2004 and it failed. The clutch itself would have lasted another few years and it was a Autozone Fenco. I was really surprised at how well it lasted.

It would have lasted longer had I replaced that spring.

01-07-2010, 08:51 AM
yeah i ordered the spring when i replaced the clutch on my civic, but for the accord honda doesn't have the part anymore, that's what i explained to him in my post.


daniel, i was also going to point out, don't lighten the flywheel, there really isnt' a need for it anyway, i personally think the aluminum ones are too light, i have a 7lb fidanza in my civic and i really don't like the way it rev's vs the one that was in my rex which was just a stock one.

Good to hear. you busting you ass and getting this shit done ey. Great job. cant wait for the outcome

Thanks Rendon. Im moving up in the world now lol.

I have plans of a attending a all gen accord-prelude meet this saturday. So I have to finish all of this stuff by saturday.

-The only think I don think will be done is the armrest. but I think im going to paint it black with black leather reupholstering

-The center console will also be painted black to match the armrest

-The fogs I will be making custom mounts for and will be going on this week.

-The duckbill spoiler will be sanded a bit to get some weird build-up off of it and make it semi smooth again then it will be receiving a coat of satin black paint along with all of my trim pieces.

-The headrests will be painted with a vinyl black paint until they can be reupholstered with the same beige color as my seats.

-Oh and for the lip I have to call a dealership tomorrow to see what car it came off of. And then go searching for another of the same car hoping to find a lip so that i can extend the sides. When I found the lip it was just on the floor at the JY so I saw it and matched it to a 3g and thought to myself this will be a great looking lip! lol

keep it up, da's are for chollos remeber that ese.

I know man but they can also look clean as hell. The car was ricey as hell when I bought it. The interior was painted white with house paint, the steering wheel is a faded red Grant steering wheel, the carpet is shot to hell, the pedals are ghetto as hell that are like flames or some kinda tribal design. All that im doing to it is changing out the carpet, repaint the interior pieces black, and getting stock pedals.

no they replaced the stock pedals.

and its already lowered, i am going to wheel/tire it later with some used rotas. has intake already, has exhaust. and im just trading my buddy my stock blue blue seats for his stock black seats.

...


keep it up daniel, pm me with anymore questions i like helping someone who listens lol...

its a type r engine from a 98-00 integra well from what I read about the motor it said to control how much touqr goes on the wheel without peeling out and have more control if you want more torq or not....ls won't cause you to understeer I think if i m rite engine stock has 197hp and torq idk I'm on my phone so I can't really explain it in full detail but this is part of it

stat1K
01-12-2010, 02:01 PM
you can't really explain in full detail because you don't know what you're talking about, an ls vtec is a 1.8 ls bottom end with a vtec head, a b18c5 is NOT an ls/vtec motor... it's a simple type r vtec motor... there is no reason to call it anything but a type r motor.

and it was from 97-01, here do some reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_B_engine

also, the motor does not control how much power goes to your wheels, that would be your transmission, and you're talking about how the tranny has an LSD in it, which is true.

you should really do some reading.

Alright guys you have to tune in tomorrow afternoon for updates =) the car itself will be done at about mid-day. Then I will be washing the car and cleaning up the engine bay. Its REALLY REALLY dirty right now. then I will have pics.

but the trans is in and everything is on now. including pedals and center console. the whels are on as well excluding front left. I only need to put the suspension back together and the extended lugs in on that side.



keep it up daniel, pm me with anymore questions i like helping someone who listens lol...

lol I dont really have a choice but to listen bro. You know what youre doing, this is only my first time doing this kind of work. But there are no questions right now. im about done with the swap. tomorrow when I go to start it I hope it starts otherwise I will be PMing you or possibly calling you if I dont have access to internet while at the shop.

yeah man I love the 2g valve cover. it really sets it apart from the rest of the 3geez. I actually ended up sanding down the 3gee valve cover that was red and painted it blue. (shyboy88lxi now owns the old VC)

Can anyone tell me if a hatch interior will bolt up to the coupe interior. I found a phoenix red hatch (in disguise because of paint job) locally that I want to grab the interior from. Its in great condition and hope that it bolts right up.

Oh and also guys Im worried that my car might get stolen since i dont have an alarm yet but I have some pricey wheels on it. Would you guys know how interchangeable the 3gee keys are? Because I know my buddy's DA key can open some other DA's and even EK's and that worries me.

Oh and if I dont get many replies on these 2 questions then I might post a thread asking the same questions. so if you see these ?s somewhere else dont be surprised lol


You just got your check?! Now you can get serious with it.


Yes sir :) i just got it in the mail today. But.. I was thinking maybe I shouldnt do too much to it before the meet. maybe a rebuild and replace all the bearings and suspension (k sports) and hoses maybe. Possibly some vac line removal as well.

Im also thinking that after the meet i want to do a B swap now that the mounts are available. Im thinking LS VTEC. Not the B18C5 lol. I know the Type R engine has better numbers overall but I think theyre a little bit harder to come by than an LS engine. By buddy has built and LS VTEC from top to bottom and would be able to help me out with the build.

*I know I talked about keeping the A20 earlier in the thread but i figure in the end it wont be a wise decision financially.

i thought phoenix was bad until i moved to NC. Monroe, NC has the most riced shit you've ever seen, where i work right now in Albemarle isn't much better.

daniel, a hatch interior will bolt in, the only thing i believe that interior wouldn't have would be the power windows (dx right?) and the dead pedal if i'm right? also the center console isn't the same because they ended between the shifter and dash and didn't have a cassete holder... but if you're using your console and painting it i'm sure it would be fine. if you just want the seats they should work no problem, the only difference is the dx fabric is a little chincier than the lx-i (like thinner and less padding unless the phoenix red got a better seat than the others)

i want a phoenix red dx hatch but i had carb's hahaha.

which yard is it in? pm me if you don't want to tell everyone lol.

i want a phoenix red dx hatch but i had carb's hahaha.

which yard is it in? pm me if you don't want to tell everyone lol.

I cant see the post you were helping him with so Im sorry if i step out of line. I installed a 88 pheonix red dx hatch interior into my 87 white lxi hatch. I can say the seat material is junk. Thin and not comfotable for long. The sides and top are a direct swap. The centerconsole will swap no problem but if he is using a tape hoilder or cup hiolders he will need the mounting bracket from the donor car that bolts around the shifter assembly. The stock 87 doesnt allow the center console to adjust high enough to allow the tape holder to mate well with the dash.

The carpet was the big thing for me. The front seats are physically in a different place on the floor board so the 88 carpet doesnt sit right in the 87 hatch. It has started to settle but Im not happy with it overall. If hes going with the 86 model the seatbelts wont fit. Ive had a few other little issues and all together Id keep the swap becuase of them. I think black interiors look much better then red on a white exterior. The blue is just hideous.

To fix the door panels Im using sei coupe door panels. I ahvent checked yet to see if you can swap the center section from a dx into an lxi section. The power windows option is what Im refering to. It appears as though if you swapped the door pull handle with window switch it would hide the crank hole in the panel.

stat1K
01-13-2010, 09:35 AM
his car should be an 88-89 and isn't that when they made the phoenix red hatch? so his carpet and everything should be pretty straight forward? only way for him to find out is to get it and do it!

i mentioned the same about the door panel problem.

as for the dx seats, i know normal ones are bad, so it's a shame that the phoenix red ones would be bad too :( i think he'd be better off getting a new molded black carpet for his car, then getting his seats redone in black if that's the way he wanted to go, then use the door panels from the dx hatch :-\ probably look and feel better anyway... i dunno, i would swap completely different seats, like 3g seats but i don't think they're that sporty, comfy yes, sporty not so much.

01-13-2010, 02:52 PM
Im debating between the 91 si prelude balck seats which are genre specific and full recaros, integra gsr leathers as my door panels are sei. the grey is almost an exact match considering theres over 6 years difference. The newer rsx seats are sweet but I havent had a chance to try fitment yet. Im getting new carpet molded as well. I think itll turn out very nice once all the little issues are resolved

5. Finish making the lip for the front bumper.

6. Mount my Ducktail spoiler.

here is what the seller told me:
-Turbo is a Garrett TB03
-BOF is a Greddy Type RZ
-Filter is a AEM 21-201DK
-Intercooler does not say anything on it
-and the clamps are high dollar clamps I know that. They are not just cheap hose clamps.

lol charlie looks like were on the same page. oh and im working on geting the springs cut right now guys. The back is DUMPED! Im having some trouble with the front.

and Thanks rendon, I was really needing your approval mostly that. If you were to make the guy an offer what kind of offer would you make him? He used to have it on Craigslist for like $1200 when I first saw it but I think he realized that no one has money for a turbo and might be in need of some $ himself. and about the pipes I doubt they will work also. theyre for a scion XB lol

LOL well the turbo prolly worth 500 or so. the bov 100ish but the rest is useless. well the intercooler looks like mine. cheapo but works great a intercooler is a intercooler.

Ask him how much lower would he go. i mean intercooler,bov,turbo together in the 600ish range. I wouldnt pay for a turbo for that much anyway....Basicly ask him whats the least he well take.

I dislike pinstripes. I think they're tacky, like stickers/decals/vinyls. My mom's car, my dad's truck and my first coupe has them. Luckily, this coupe doesn't.

Find a dyno close by before you start tearing into a turbo built. You're waiting for your b swap before you turbo, right??

And I thought the B swap was for B20A's, not B16 ect.

dacantu
01-16-2010, 12:54 AM
Yeah im picking up the turbo today but I wont install anything until I have the B series in there. And i was under the impression that its for the other b series engines not the B20A. If its for the usdm B20 that came in the ludes then forget that. im pretty sure its for B series in general though. can anyone confirm this?

I dont care much for going with the JDM B20 because parts are already rare for them and I would only be putting myself back into another money pit that way. With the other readily available b series engines I wont have any trouble finding parts.

Im definitely going to take it to the track soon. maybe next weekend.
and about the dyno, well I have no clue where there is one near.

My turbo says that all the time LOL...

Yeah i would do a b20vtak. good power out of the box and if you boost PHUCK. forget bout it. The accord version is a good plant to but parts are a pain an just not worth it. Its best to keep a B20a accord version n/a.....

Anywho so your boosting a B series correct?

i see reading comprehension is quite poor with some of our users...

the b-series mounts that innovative offers are for B-series motors, not a b20a that came in the accord from other markets.

looking good danny, i'm sitting here looking at a check for 7931.50, it's for my wifes student loan, i just keep wanting to take it to work and cash it and go do some ridiculous shit hahahahahah. fucking k-swap my ef sedan and paint it lol.

Yup boosted B18 LS motor with GSR head and type r cams. Idk know what that would be called maybe just an LS Vtec With type r cams? lol

Sweet! That's cool... Everyone was in the B20A frenzy for the longest time and I figured that was the mount swap everyone was wanting. USDM B-series would be wicked at the meet. You got time!! DO IT!

Before you start on your turbo, you need to know where a dyno is so that you can tune it right.

01-17-2010, 09:40 AM
^ oh no i know that people were doing the b20a swaps, but they use stock mounts as the car came with those in other markets. this is for a swap like legend_master's... they're innovatives copies of the place racing mounts. i guess you didn't see the "group buy" for them... :-\

01-17-2010, 02:02 PM

dacantu
01-17-2010, 05:27 PM
okay guys my car is messing up on me hard core! im really upset at her right now! lol so today i got out there and changed spark plugs, wires, rotor, cap, coil. NO GO... And now I cant even push start it. soooooo im thinking that im not going to bother anymore. Im going to sell my DA. Buy a true daily driver that I can rely on. Then...

Im gonna order the onnovative mounts sooner than I thought. My buddy that works at the junkyard has a B20Z Long block (from the CRV) that im going to
1. Pick up from him tomorrow.
2. Take it straight to my mechanics shop
3. Start rebuilding
4. Find a VTEC head for
5. Find a 5 speed transmission to match it to.
6. Make some custom axles for the tranny.
7. Get a turbo manifold for it to match my new turbo.

Im also thinking of an EDM front end converion boys! im going to have to talk to AccordB20A about importing one. It sucks that I wont be able to get a CF hood though because I was really considering that.


yeah the only reason i didnt go with a usdm b swap is because i wanted to get a h22 but i could not find b-mounts...but now my buddy has a 3rd gen h22 prelude that he wants to sale

dont buy a prelude!

yeah but the innovative mounts dont come with axles or jumper harness like the place racing ones did.

Before you start on your turbo, you need to know where a dyno is so that you can tune it right.

If you read what I wrote above messy´s quote you will see that im going to be starting this project before the meet. Hopefully I will be rolling to the meet with the only Turbo B20 VTEC 3rd gen accord.

stat1K
01-17-2010, 08:11 PM
the place racing mounts didn't come with any of that stuff. place racing never once made any type of harness that i'm aware of, rywire did a harness for one of the members but i remember reading that it was no where near usefull as most of the shit still needed extending. they did offer axles and an ac bracket but that was an offer, as in you had to pay more for it.

as for all of the parts hit up built by notorious, pm jgregg on azht and tell him i told you to pm him. he could probably find you a b tranny cheap they may even have one. i know for a fact they could help you with getting the mounts as i've talked to them on a few occasions about it. also kenny there does tuning, so once you get it in and done you should def tune it.

as for turbo on a b20v... i don't think it's a good idea. b20's have thin walls in between the 2-3 just because of the 84mm bore. this is why they do great on NA builds and not so well on the turbo build. vtec is kind of a bit much in boost too but that's all opinion. the reason vtec was created was to emulate turbo without being turbo, tuning for vtec and boost is a difficult job and it has to be pretty spot on or you can easily blow some shit up.

if you want to boost do boost on an ls/v setup since they have some thicker walls to play with.

just do something though! i'm proud of ya buddy... oh and don't get rid of the flip ups, they're the best part.

dacantu
01-18-2010, 12:18 AM
hmm pat thanks for that. It really helped out. Im sure a turbo ls vtec would be much cheaper than even a NA B20 build with high numbers huh? i´ll stop by their shop tomorrow because im going to be around there running some errands anyways. hopefully they can help me out. ill make sure to mention your name.

and about the flip ups, idk man I love them too but im getting tired with the ridiculous wiring problems im having with them. (ive gone through 3 headlight switches within the last 200 miles driven with the car) and during the meet I was incredibly embarrassed when my left headlight kept winking at everyone lmao. Even after I removed the fuses from the engine bay fuse box.

Oh and the DA is up for sale boys!

yeah he didnt budge at $3,400 but said he would take $3500 today. im buying it as a daily man. im running into some problems with the accord and dont have time to bother with the teg that I already bought previosly. school starts tomorrow and I need a way of getting there.

theyre Rota slipstreams, has gsr black leather seats, a nice stereo, and k sport suspension. also has a rebuilt motor with maybe 50,000 on it. probably the cleanest engine bay ive seen on most of these hondas for sale.

Nice, you got some goodies there. Im guessing you took my advice on stealing your wifes financial aid check? lmoa

I wasnt able to see any pictures of his car. I also didnt get the car today. I will be going tomorrow when I have cash because the bank wasnt open today. We got the title open now so its just up to when i get the cash for it from the bank.

Ill be installing an alarm and quick release steering wheel with locking hub on it right away. This car is way to clean to be leaving at school without an alarm for hours unattended. Plus the GSR leather seats and wheels call way to much attention to it.


that teg is mad clean man!

Thanks CAH. It should be a nice daily. The suspension rides pretty smooth, and I love how quiet it is since it has no aftermarket exhaust. It will be a nice ride to take girls out to dinner/movies in. lol
