87roach's 1987 S Hatch Build

[87roach]

That looks amazing. What the hell was going on with that fork?

The bolt was seized to the bushing, so I cut it off.

omg wtfbbq!?!?!? ur gonna be boosted and OBD1!! U SOB! lol i love your car man. Its what i want my future hatch to look like(if i ever get one haha). how much did the OBD1 run you all together? i need to start pricing/saving up for a kit.

Yea, boost is next! It's going to be a while, I still have a lot to get..

As for the obd1 parts, well I got the plate from cygnus and harness from lx-incredible which made it really easy. After that it was the 4 wire O2, and the pr4 ecu. So depending on what you can source or what you want to do on your own I would say 300-600$.

Thanks for the comments!

hmm i think im gonna go for obd1 after the clutch and FP then lol. i need the adapter plate.. i can do the rest of everything.

[87roach]

I also forgot to mention the obd1 distributer too, that's a must! haha

Good luck man, you should do it so you can get a nice tune for that turbo setup.

[Tdurr]

i can get one of those for cheap :P
i know a few ppl at a autozone who can cut me deals haha

[Rendon LX-i]

[WestOfBen]

Nice work!

[87roach]

^ Thanks.

I finally ordered these..




I now have a hatch that stays open by itself, so simple yet so damn nice.

Also going in for an alignment today and wheel balancing.

[Tdurr]

wash ur car.

[Rendon LX-i]

i was suprised my hatch shocks where in good shape

[87roach]

Gotta start somewhere..

Walbro 255














Much more to come...

[Rendon LX-i]

sweet. fuck look at the difference lol....thats how i was lol

[87roach]

Yea man it's nice!

It's "loud" when you first turn it, after that I haven't heard a thing during normal driving. I like knowing that my fuel pump wont break down on me either, that situation sucks!

[Pico]

Nice

[Tdurr]

thats how my fp looked, the sock wasnt anywhere near as dirty tho. I didn't zip tie mine to the bracket either, i just bent the little tab at the bottom up some and used a long piece of hose on the top and it was solid(i shook it around a good bit to be sure rofl)

btw, where did u buy ur pump from?
u should hear it when its on. a real walbro will wine while the car is running, i can hear mine if i turn my head sideways while driving.

[87roach]

You can hear it while it's on.

It's from ebay, it has walbro and other details stamped right on it.

[Tdurr]

fakes on ebay have gotten better. They have all the same stamps and casting. there are like 3 ways to tell a fake tho.

looks like u got a real one tho! haha just lookin out for ya man.

[87roach]

Man the depths people go to to copy things.. I'll never get it.

In that video you posted it sounds like the first one. Looks like I'm good, phew.. thanks man.

[Tdurr]

no prob. i found that stuff out after i bought mine and was like FUCK.. but mine is real too hahaha.

[MessyHonda]

so just any walboro 255 will work?

[87roach]

I don't think so, because the sock might be different. Unless you have some way of getting something on there that will work.

1990-1993 Acura Integra
1992-1994 Acura Vigor
1986-1993 Honda Accord
1988-1991 Honda Civic
1988-1991 Honda CRX

I believe any of those models will work.

[Tdurr]

im pretty sure any honda walbro will work. i just used the sock from the stock FP.
