When I did my rebuild i used "Rock" brand. I almost went with "Top line" brand but rock was said to be of the same quality for a $20 or so difference. But keep looking around for as long as necessary for an excellent quality product cause you don't want to have to replace a faulty seal or gasket 10k mi. or a day down the road. Remember that you get what you paid for so don't go cheep on internals. Also, if you're going to replace the piston rings make sure to hone the cylinders too.

How much were the headlights? Where did you get them? Easy to install?

[Civic Accord Honda]

i seriously hate people with theses hids in h4 conversion lights... why brag about blinding the crap out of everyone?

[cubert]

i seriously hate people with theses hids in h4 conversion lights... why brag about blinding the crap out of everyone?


cause its MaD tyt3 JaYdee EmzZ y00

[stat1K]

it's not just the h4 housings, hids in all stock honda lights with no projector is not the right way to do it... it's actually worse in ef's and eg's and ek's because of the fluted glass that displaces the light even more so.

it's better output than stock and if you angle them down you're not blinding anyone.

you can't say you hate shit blake, you fucking brag about getting a busted fuckin piece of shit geo. you of all people should keep your mouth shut about most things.

[Civic Accord Honda]

you can't say you hate shit blake, you fucking brag about getting a busted fuckin piece of shit geo. you of all people should keep your mouth shut about most things.

lol im happy im getting a car is that so wrong? people on here brag about getting busted ass 86 accords and they brag about airplane parts so yeah :lol:... any car pwns nothing... allows me to start doing more shit...

and i can say i hate things that are unsafe and cause car accidents...i think ima put a strobe light in front of the geo wired to a switch to blind people back with hids :lol:

[stat1K]

again, pointed down hid's don't blind anyone.

[charliekuney]

Yeah, but most people who get them don't point them down.

[Civic Accord Honda]

Yeah, but most people who get them don't point them down.

trufax.

[ShyBoyCA6]

How much were the headlights? Where did you get them? Easy to install?

Headlights were 41 shipped from ebay and its like replacing a light bulb but with wires. should take no more then 10 minutes to do them both but make sure the wires to the ballast don't jam the headlight motor (will overheat and won't work till cooled down).

[ShyBoyCA6]

i seriously hate people with theses hids in h4 conversion lights... why brag about blinding the crap out of everyone?

well dont look at the light problem solved lol :)

looking good.. still not a fan of hids :P... now get both your cars painted!

[ShyBoyCA6]

its all good if you dont like the HIDs but i agree if its about trucks with HID's though.

[Civic Accord Honda]

mainly suvs out here lol... and cars with them aimed right in my face ....

[stat1K]

say you're a not a fan of drop-in hid's because several cars come stock now with hids and projectors. i've never been blinded by a 300c or a g35 and they have hid's.

it just sucks that they've become mad tyte jdm yo... hell i got some :) i'm thinking of picking up another set in my civic to run them in the high beam slot, DOUBLE HID BLINDNESS!

shy, you should replace those balljoints or at the very least the boot, they look toast.

[Pico]

what springs did you get?

[stat1K]

they look like old suspension techniques springs.

you will have to make a back piece to mount the bracket straight.
or you can buy a complete relocation kit from passwordjdm with the back bracket

ok thanks Stat1k



um ok so i now have money to do the rebuild on the motor but im doing the labor myself since i got estimates of $1800 for a rebuild or a new "JDm" A20A3 from japan as they told me for $1200 with labor included... dont really that much to spend but i wanna learn on how the engine works and maybe do a high compression later or now?> what do you guys think?

and found this site with the rebuild kit...
http://www.rpmmachine.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=4636

i also read to go with stock honda pistons and i might get the bisi valve springs...

[ShyBoyCA6]

Merry Christmas everyone!

got some good news :)

i got some extra cash in so the engine is coming out tomorrow! to get started on it :D i know i been babbling about it but now have some time and funds to bring it out.

and also the coupes wheel choice!

[Dr_Snooz]

Buy from these guys: www.mantrans.com. They rock.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Removed some hoses and black box.

Next:
1. remove hood

2. Pull engine

3. Rebuild engine :D

I'm a little nervous of pulling the motor as this will be my first time.:uh:

as for taking apart a motor done a bit of practicing at the junk yard before getting mine out.

anyone recommend anything while i pull or start work on the engine? thanks in advance.

[88lxi-shortram]

i was nervous too dude but dont worry about it its easy if you concentrate and not rush through it. ill post a link to my thread thats got all kind of advice you could use.

[88lxi-shortram]

http://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=73440

and no matter how much time you take you WILL lose stuff and need to hit a junkyard... lol especially if its your first time... one great word of advice is to put bolts back were they go and take pics... lots of pics

[charliekuney]

Are you rebuilding a motor with 100k on it?

there is about 80 bolts to remove then replace... bag and file

[ShyBoyCA6]

ok will do thanks

[charliekuney]

yeah why?

Why would you bother? My second coupe had 270k and ran pretty alright...100k is nothing.

[88lxi-shortram]

if your going to rebuild it i'd buy an engine stand, a torque wrench, a breaker bar, a legit engine hoist, ziploc baggies and index cards, and if youre working outside to pull the motor out but one of those gazebo tent things. itll protect you and your car from rain.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Why would you bother? My second coupe had 270k and ran pretty alright...100k is nothing.

well the engine has really low compression in 3 Cylinders and dont know how bad the inside is.

throws alot of white smoke :thumbdn:

sounds pricey i rather just rent them then buy them haha

[88lxi-shortram]

not really and if you ever plan on having to this again you'll save the trouble plus you dont have a certain usage time. and even if you dont ever use them again in your life these things keep there value strongly so you can alway turn around and sell them again. and engine stand is like 40 bucks for a 1 ton (which is plenty of strength seeing how my motor weighed 301 lbs with both manifolds and a clutch on it) a hoist is about 90-120 but will make this job SO much easier and pain free, you NEED a torque wrench for any kind of quality rebuild and it will always come in handy to have one for later on down the road. those are like 20 bucks at walmart. and the breaker bar can honestly be made with a piece of plumbing tubing and a regular rachet (a strong ratchet not a dollar store rachet.) all together you can get these tolls for around 200-250 bucks and youll have the best set of auto tools any DIY'er could ask for. its worth it dude trust me. just remember that its better to do it right the first time than to mess up and have to redo stuff.... like me and my windshield, and all misc things.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Alright ill buy the tools might slow me down to get everything together.

Anybody know the radiator fan size?

[88lxi-shortram]

go look at harbor freights. they have that kind of stuff for pretty cheap too

[ShyBoyCA6]

Well I'm doing relocation for the fuse box and will not be keeping the black box for the engine but will be going obd1 when I get the fixed.

I've been thinking of just replacing the head gasket then doing a rebuild on the motor.

I'm selling my transmission to Ace to help him keep his car for school since I seen him put a lot of work in the car.

Well that's all for my update ill be posting in the weekend on the progress thanks for reading.

[MessyHonda]

Pics!

[Dr_Snooz]

^^^ What he said.

[ShyBoyCA6]

I will post pics later today...please note that the engine is not out yet.

So for that ill make a vid of it to see if I'm missing to disconnect anything before pulling.

[ShyBoyCA6]

well the project is gonna be on hold for a few months cause i can't stand my family..ill be moving out in a couple months to save and work on the car afterwards when i find a place... sorry guys...but the engine will be coming out since it wont cost money to take it out and work on it.

Update:
Started to do the relocation for the fuse box and removed powersteering and im having trouble taking out that long hose that connects to the back bottom. should i cut it of is there a way how?

ok so i read everything for the OBD1 conversion and so far looks like alot of hard work and looks like it may take some time to do but im gonna do it anyways since im free on thursday's thru sunday.

so heres the thing...i dont know which ecu to use. i been looking at the P75 and using the GSR distributor and making my own harness unless someone on here makes them to sell i would like to buy one.

any input would be great :D

Thanks

Pico you are the Man!! :cheers:

would this harness only work with the PR4? or any Ecu with non vtec? still thinking of the of the P75 Ecu if not then the PR4 sounds good.

hope he is still making them :)

and i will also need a distributor and dapter plate. so i guess i better start saving to get everything.

Thanks Pico

Update:

I finish the relocation to the fuse box and started to remove the auto trans.

i still need to make a mount for the fuse box and wait for a sale to come along to get started with the 5spd.:nervous: i Can't Wait!

pics of the relocation

[A18A]

i had a fail like that with the cam belt, when I installed it, i forgot to put that little round thing that goes over the crank thing before you put the crank pulley on. that made the belt come half way off the cams and cut a hole in the plastic belt covers. i prolly make no sense, but if you pull off the pulley and the belt cover, you will see one on the other side of the belt on the crank, you'll just need one of those, easily pocketed from a junkyard

[ShyBoyCA6]

pics of the relocation

will post them later today messy.

thanks and you do make sense kinda figured something wasnt right and the previous ower told me he changed it so guess it aint on there right or he forgot to put it back on there. just on question: how do you take of the Cam?

[ShyBoyCA6]

Damn! who would of thought it would be hard to remove the head i can't even loosen the screws lol.

i will post pics tonight.

[ShyBoyCA6]

alright i manage to loosen the screws and gonna start to change the head gasket but before i do that im gonna check how milking the oil is and see if there is any damage to the piston rings. hopefully to take the off the auto transmission sometime later down the week completely and sell it. is there anything else i should look for relating to a blown head gasket?

previous owner told me he changed everything but the head gasket.

the trans it self is just a baby sitting at 102k. looking to trade if someone has a 5spd laying around that doesnt want to use it. just looking for one with less than 200k on the trans. prefer everything for the swap and will be happy to pick up if local. just name the asking price.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Alright here the pic of the relocation for the fuse box.Still making a custom mount for the box and to protect it from the rain(will not be driven in rain) when driving.

Not a great pic.
http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae295/Prettyboi_22_/IMG00737-20110306-1417.jpg

and um i dont know whether its oil or water but here is the oil i took out from the motor. I didnt expect it to be this color so its gonna make me double check all the seals that have been replaced.

well thats all for the update till tomorrow stay tuned.:beer:

[Dr_Snooz]

Oh dude. Jack stands are a LOT cheaper than funerals. Please go get some!

That oil is looking pretty bad. :(

[ShyBoyCA6]

yeah i know dr.snooz. wish i had the money for the jack stands but when i have the money for it i will buy them. yeah the oil is pretty bad i dont know know where to start but to change the head gasket.:sadwave:

the car is back at the ground till i get stands.

better pic of relocation

[87roach]

Looks like a fail waiting to happen to that box.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Looks like a fail waiting to happen to that box.

how so?

everything worked as i planned like it would and the only 2 problems i had with it would be the water getting in there. its not gonna be like it is in the pic its gonna be mounted upside down and 2nd is getting to the fuses which isnt a big deal for me. just want more room on the engine bay.

but roach if you have any input of the fail you speak of let know. would mind going thru the relocation again.

[ShyBoyCA6]

better pic of relocation

sorry it was getting dark out and had to clean up. will get some better pic tomorrow morning.

[MessyHonda]

no worries but you might have to build like a watertight sox for that box lots of water can get in

[Nio]

OMG your using crappy lifts like I did, Quickly please just go and get some jack stands from someone.

As for the work on the car you are doing great, I love to see you making progress and so much so fast is really cool. XD I can't wait to see you get more work on the car.

Btw your only about 2-3 hours from where I'm stationed, once I get the accord back if you need any help I'll drive up there and be glad to give it to ya.

thanks Nio :)

and i know im not using the right stands for the job. thats why i can't do any work on the transmission cause it rocks like crazy. barely manage to bring down the piping down cause the bolts are on there tight.

sweet and sure could use the help since im solo on this:sadwave:
might need some help getting the 5spd trans from the yard but gonna save up for the 5spd swap.

[Nio]

well then its settled I would love to help. It just sucks that I can't get up there any sooner.

I'll be sure to get the car read fast so I can come up there and help out. :D

[87roach]

Well, I don't know how your weather is but it's not like you can just "stop" driving if it rains. Unless you have another car at your disposal then ok, but how do you plan to keep water out of there? What happens when a fuse blows? You have to take off the bumper? Damn.. that would suck.

I like the idea of moving it for the room but I'm just not sure about that spot. I plan to move the box as well, but I am going to put it under the dash so it will have no contact with weather and I will still easily be able to change a fuse if needed.

the weather over here is ok just the rain is my only downfall on this project. and to answer your questions:

1.well the coupe is not gonna be a DD like my sedan is and im still thinking on how to protect the box without any water getting in there. i might go what messy said and start from there to see if i can add anything else.

2.If a fuse blows ill remove the mud guard from under the fender and remove the wheel and yeah i know it looks like a alot of work but i dont mind.

i like your idea better but finding a location to put the box will be harder unless you already removed the ac components and other stuff. i plan on keeping my ac as it gets hot as hell here in summer so that wont allow me to put it there. im not that good with wiring at all :dunno: where i would start.

but it the sock does work and doesn't get water in there when im washing the car then its all good with me :).

kragen has sales often like $20 for a jack and 2 jackstands.. watch out for them. and i know $20 is a lot of $ sometimes but be safe bro

thanks Frankit ill be keeping an eye out for them.

one question though does the B18(1st gen) have shorter gears than the A20 5spd?

seen one at the yard and was thinking of getting the shifter and shift linkage but not the trans.

[charliekuney]

You guys still have Kragen/Schucks/Checker?

[stat1K]

Sweet chinese turbo bro! ...

[dacantu]

Yo man the 1st Gen Integra did not come with B18s. They came with what used to be called D15s and they were DOHC but yes I believe those trans have shorter gears.

[Nio]

Don't you mean the D16a8? They where like the only DOHC D series. and put out like 136-7 hp.

Its also called B15yzc. *but you can't find this name on google, it will pull up a nissan engine*

Sorry that was a typo but yes i meant D16. End thread jack.

[Nio]

Yes lets end the thread jack. lol


BTW your gona boost both of them?

That sounds a bit pricey. why not just boost the coupe ;)

[ShyBoyCA6]

thanks for the info.

and Nio yeah i know but it wouldnt be the same as driving one with it and driving the other without it. since i have a job im gonna take advantage of it and save 10k if not then by piece by piece.

[frantik]

You guys still have Kragen/Schucks/Checker?

yep lots of kragens around here

also have autozone, pep boys, and prolly others too. i know i got the deal on the jack stuff from kragen though

you can check their current sales here: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/currentad/get.oap right now i see jack + stands for $40 in my area

[ShyBoyCA6]

Um i Need a huge Favor Fellas,

I got this Black Prelude wing off a 91 and notice that is probably like a inch and a half longer. i was Wondering 3G members that have the original oem rear spoiler could give the size of the wing and how far are the holes from the trunk edge to edge and center. this will help me out on where to set the wing in a proper way without it looking like crap.


i have a couple pics with it on it but not secure, it sucks that it curves at the ends.... i found another one on a prelude that look similar to a 3g oem but the bastards broke the shit out of it. i was gonna in stall the black one on the 4dr and the red one on the 2dr but oh well. i guess the 2dr will keep the black one and i will make sure the wing will look good with the car :D.

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:this is an awesome effin wing. i think i know what i'm lookin for at my next trip to the junkyard. the lines of the wing are perfect, that looks better than a 4g spoiler any day (and it's not even mounted yet!). this to me is a very sublte mod that is absolutely dead on w/ upgrading the 3gee's appearance.

Thank you, im gonna mount it on tomorrow since i can't do anything till i get jack stands.

[Hazwan]

Yup that wing looks awesome!

[dacantu]

Mark don't install it yet. Ill get you the dimensions of the original holes first. And IMO that wing is too round to flow with the boxiness of our cars.

give the wing a chance haha,once i get it on there it won't look to bad and this is the closest to a 3rd gen oem spoiler im a get to :D.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Bump?

and got a update for you guys(not that you care haha)

gonna tear down the motor tomorrow right after i get off work i have everything ready for it to come off. kinda fucked up my finger and swelled up a lil but should be fine to continue on the car :D. gonna replace the head gasket and piston rings.
Next on the list:
Bisimoto Cam Gear
intake manifold gasket
and new injectors from a eclipse (i think)
Obd-1 Distributor and PO6 ECU
Oh im also gonna install the wing i got for it and pics should follow up after i have time to post them.

[charliekuney]

(not that you care haha)

I care! :wave:

[MessyHonda]

i want pictures of the goods

[ShyBoyCA6]

i will as soon as the cam and intake gasket get here.

[ShyBoyCA6]

ok i unbolted the head and header is off completely.

i was wondering if it would come off with the intake manifold still attach or would i have to remove it as well to get the head off?

the head moves but i can't get it to lift up unless its that heavy to lift? im guessing it weighs like a 100 lbs?

well any info on taking the head off would be great the sooner i get it off then i can work on the head gasket and piston rings. thank you for any input.

[Tdurr]

there is a bracket on the bottom side of the intake manifold. its like 3 10mm bolts. Take it off and leave it of. its a pain in the ass

[ShyBoyCA6]

ok thanks gonna go do that right now and see if it comes off

[ShyBoyCA6]

double post

[ShyBoyCA6]

Tdurr you are the man :bow:thanks to you i got it off who would of thought that two screws would be able to hold it down haha i didn't even know it had 2 down there.

well i will post pics up later of the damages :D im so freaking happy i got it off haha excuse me.

i just hope it aint warp if thats how you say it.

[Nio]

Oh dang, I don't know how I missed this stuff.

Great work there, it looks like your gasket kinda took a beating.

And the fender looks good as well. :D can't wait to get to see this in person.

yeah the gasket was pretty messed up compared to the new one haha i just hope this will fix the low compression and smoke it had before :)

you'll be the second person to see the car since tom helped me bring the coupe home.

might have to wait on the turbo just to see how the motor does after the new parts are installed.

tomorrow im gonna work on the trans and try to take it out since i have more room to work with :D finally im getting more progress on the car and could be done by May or beginning of june or the car will be finished next month if i wanted to keep stock but since its a baby she'll be getting alot more stuff :D.

Nio I might be heading down to the junkyard next month and start grabbing a few things don't know if you wanna come if you dont mind the drive haha?

[Nio]

Once I get my car back up here I wouldn't mind the drive at all, XD I'm sure there would be something there I wouldn't mind grabbing myself. :3

[ShyBoyCA6]

the wing is installed...doing the electrical for the spoiler so the brake light can work. there is a little damage on the wing but gonna repair that soon and get a new Brake light since the one it has now is cracked down the middle. haha my pooch got in a photo. oh sorry if the pics look shitty :/

[Nio]

Looks good. :D and love the spoiler.

[charliekuney]

Love seeing the progress, Mark. Not feeling the spoiler, but I guess it could be worse. ;)

[ShyBoyCA6]

Thanks and I think i can see why you don't like it :) but its ok the car is not anywhere near where i want it to look.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Looks good. :D and love the spoiler.

Thank you :) More to come so stay tuned to the thread :flash:

[charliekuney]

I don't like it because I don't like spoilers in general and that one isn't OEM, but at least it doesn't look like one from a Supra.

[dacantu]

I think you have 4 door prefacelift mudflaps on your coupe mark

You need to pick up some facelift mudflaps to get the right fit.

[charliekuney]

^ He just has sedan mudflaps in general. They are so similar, but don't fit right.

[ShyBoyCA6]

nope they came off an hatch preface lift but will find some at the yard next weekend

[ShyBoyCA6]

^ He just has sedan mudflaps in general. They are so similar, but don't fit right.

nope front are from the coupe and the rear are from a pre facelift hatchie

oh well if anyone needs them will trade them for some 88-89 coupe mudflaps lol

[charliekuney]

I meant the rears. All front mud flaps from all years, trims, and bodies are the same. The rears differ. Coupes have their own, hatches have their own, 1986-1987 sedans have their own, and 1988-1989 sedans have their own (trust me, I had to deal with this).

By the way, hatches never got the facelift bumpers. ;D

Wish I would of known this before I bought some random ones at the j/y.

[premis77]

[MessyHonda]

[ShyBoyCA6]

did you drop it?

Yes Sir:D she is sitting on 14's only reason theres a wheel gap on the left side is cause they sold me a smaller tire size 185 something 14.

why? does she need more low??

[obdriver6]

[ShyBoyCA6]

Yay lol well I'm done with the appearence from the outside of the car. Finally I could do a lil bit of work around the engine. I just wanna get er done for the summer

[MessyHonda]

sweet

[Tdurr]

Thanks everyone

oh tdurr your inbox is full and couldn't reply haha still interested on the lip?


yeaaa I cleaned it out it's 96% full lol

[ShyBoyCA6]

haha alright ill pm you right now

Lil Update:
i cleaned up little pieces of trash from the old gasket in the cynlinder walls then i installed the head back in.

i just gotta put everything back together and work on the transmission swap and she will be ready to go. should be ready in a couple months and ill snap some pics of it in the road and rolling shots when i meet up with Mike and see his se-i. oh and Shyboy is getting another coupe very soon so no more Sedan :D. even though it hurts me to sell my first car but my uncle is gonna buy it so it will remain with the family haha.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Putting everything back together well mainly the motor cause i dont want to get parts or screws messed up. having trouble getting that hose on top of the VC back in place :( dont really want to remove the head again just for that so im gonna bust my ass off to get it back underneath the intake mani. almost done getting that done.
http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae295/Prettyboi_22_/IMAG0088.jpg

this is when you got nothing better else to do lol i ordered white LED bulbs but turns out out with the tint or what ever you call it is blue so it gave like a purplish blue look which doesn't look to bad. for the record my favorite color is purple lol.
http://i981.photobucket.com/albums/ae295/Prettyboi_22_/IMAG0089.jpg

ive been thinking since i have no header or exhaust im just gonna turbo the bitch and get it done with. but i dont think turbo will go with a 102k motor since its still a baby itself. so ill wait till i get it up to 110k. Gonna be in the market for a turbo header and will need help when i start with the build. i dont plan on pushing big numbers like most guys do on here for 2 reasons. one cause its a weekend driver and 2 cause i dont wanna be having to put alot of money for parts since its really hard to find anything in the market for these cars. so my range for HP would be 200 or 210hp. first is to push as much from the motor and the rest turbo. Also how do i get the timing belt back in place i never done that before but i have done the timing for it. do i need a special tool for it?

[Tdurr]

as far as the t-belt goes, i just made sure my marks lined up, got a super small flathead screwdriver slid it under the belt and just over the edge of the gear, and got it on the cam gear like 3/5ths of the way then had a buddy turn the motor via crank pully and just pushed it on. it takes like 10-20 min to do it with alot of cursing but it works(if u didnt take the whole belt off)

and as far as turboing the car goes, its gonna cost u well into the ranges of 3-4k fyi.

[ShyBoyCA6]

I will try that and also tdurr um my tbelt goes off to the side and rubs against the cover any idea where I can find the guidence for it?

3 or 4k huh? Well never said it was gonna be cheap but its worth it for this car. I just gotta get another job to see any more improvement for this project. Thanks for the info.

[ShyBoyCA6]

No Updates but have an issue here. i wanted to see if i plugged everything back ok for the injector and hope it didn;t squirt gas but it did seems to have come from the top of the injector? am i missing an o ring? or did i just not put it right? thanks for any in put guys.

[ShyBoyCA6]

Update!

Gonna do the Vacuum Box removal posted by 3rd party threads been reading alot and double checking to see if everything works and ads up and it does. so ill be doing this mod to my 2 coupes yes i said 2 :D ill post pics of the other coupe next Friday. Getting it from a member thats been here for a while and ill be restoring it to the way he had it back in 2008. take a wild guess who's it is. and if i told someone please dont spoil the surprise :).

[forrest89sei]

Looking Good!

Good Luck on the Vacuum Box Removal, But not to be a jerk, what will you do about Smog?

[A18A]
