B-swap reborn!

[stat1K]

Yeah we have tried replaceing the distributor with a known working one, then we replaced the ECU with a known working one, and we ran wires outside the harness from the ECU to the CYL sensor. Non of this alleviated the problem. I have a feeling it is in the wiring somewhere, but bypassing the harness should have fixed the situation. As far as axles check out the link provided by Stat1K, I am interested in someone else trying out what 88LXi68 used. A direct bolt in axle would be awesome, and I'm 99% sure it will work cause he has been running it longer then I have been using mine.



Read the thread provided by stat1K.



Thanks man, exactly what I was gonna post lol.

as for the cyp problem, when you ran the wires out side of the harness did you run a shielded wire? the wires for the distributor sensors should always be shielded, also have you looked at the plug itself, i had a persistant problem with my civic's ignition circuit and it turned out that two of the wires were pushing out of their holes and making intermittent contact with the receiving wires of the sensor.

i think i remember someone saying that the teg axles work (from the late 80's teg) and the stock one could be used with an outer cv swap or something. theres also another alxe thatll work but is a bit too long... im in the process of searching for it and if i find it il post it up

Click the link provided by stat1K, it explains all that.

I did not run shielded wires, I wonder if that could be the problem? Does that cause signal issues to/from the distributor due to interference, or something? I did check both the plug male, and female side. Everything looks to be in order there.

[stat1K]

yes there can be interference issues from any number of other electrical circuits on the way. typically though, if you ran it outside the car from the ecu to the dizzy itself you would eliminate any interference in between, it could still be possible to be picking some up i guess. have you tried to back probe the wires from the connector to the ecu and make sure they are in the right spot? often times people switch the two along the path when converting to mpfi, in the case of a civic, and will throw a code but the car will run in limp mode. i've done this myself on occasion. also a lot of distributor wiring diagrams are extremely confusing being that most of the aftermarket companies that make honda distributors don't maintain a coherent color coding. dizzy kings will have beige and off white colored wires next to white wires making it difficult to match the exact termination of the wires.

The pins can be backwards to. I had that happen to me

[Legend_master]

So there was a short in the harness leading to the distributor. Got the harness bypassed, and now I drove the car home. Everything runs well, and now all I need to do is get the wiring cleaned up a little. Get an alignment done, and the car is ready to drive. It felt so damn good to drive a 3gee again. Get ready for some restoration threads here in the next couple weeks.

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Heck yes!... I don't know what it is, but 2011 seems to be looking up for many OG 3geez members and their cars. Glad to hear you got yours up and running!

[Legend_master]

Maybe by the end of the year there will be a K or J swapped 3gee lol!

[Rendon LX-i]

Lol. Great to hear you got it running . I'm taking my time but at th same time I'm flying with making progress

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Maybe by the end of the year there will be a K or J swapped 3gee lol!

That would be bonkers!

[jesus_charger]

Maybe by the end of the year there will be a K or J swapped 3gee lol!

If that ever happens there should be a massively large nationwide meet just to see that car!

[Legend_master]

Little video of startup, and revving

[jesus_charger]

Shits pretty badass Yo'

[ShyBoyCA6]

whats up with the limited view? lol other than that she sounds great! notice that you dont have you CAI on?

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Excellent!... I am going to try and get a vid of mine tonight from my friend.

[Legend_master]

Shits pretty badass Yo'

Thanks man.

whats up with the limited view? lol other than that she sounds great! notice that you dont have you CAI on?

Recording on a iPhone will leave the view that way lol. I don't have an intake on there at all cause I am still working on the wiring. I don't run CAI, just to much chance of trashing the engine.

Excellent!... I am going to try and get a vid of mine tonight from my friend.

We will be looking for it!

[Rendon LX-i]

nice bro. Very nice......get me excited lol. aaa not in that way

[Legend_master]

Yeah, how do you think I felt when I saw you and messy's threads lol.

[Rendon LX-i]

haah. It would be epic to have a 3geez accord meet with all the b series swaps lol

[mykwikcoupe]

yes but where would it be? Colorado? Cali or Oregon since most are in Washington.

[Legend_master]

haah. It would be epic to have a 3geez accord meet with all the b series swaps lol

That would be awesome.

yes but where would it be? Colorado? Cali or Oregon since most are in Washington.

Honestly we can barely get a regular nation wide 3gee meet together lol, but b-swapped 3gee meet would be epic.

[89T]

haah. It would be epic to have a 3geez accord meet with all the b series swaps, and the turbo "A" spanking them all. lol

Fixered.
colorado would be great! Nice to see you back at it!

[Legend_master]

Fixered.
colorado would be great! Nice to see you back at it!

Lol thanks, And yes the turbo a's are awesome. There is a turbo b out there you might have trouble beating.

[mykwikcoupe]

wicked accord parted his if that's the one you are reffering to. guyanabo maybe

[Rendon LX-i]

Hehe amen ls-t my nagger lmfao

[88accordhb]

dang, been a long time, how is this beast, Antares?
