1989 Accord Coupe OBd1 (102k...)

[ShyBoyCA6]

Here the Housing cleaned up


Well some of it lol a lil hard scrubbing and you'll get that


I already order my new sensors from rockauto a bit pricey but should be worth it. Gonna shave the top right of the housing so the dizzy can fit properly.

Thanks and will do

is that a gearbox mount on the side frame rail?!?!?

from hondsmonsters pic or mine?

[mykwikcoupe]

it can be done

thats definitely minimalistic right there. It looks great but all those holes from the systems mounted in the bay. shave and fill all those holes and that would be a great engine bay. Looks great

Hmmm did a lil bit of digging around in forum and found out that the 1987 prelude 5spd trans bolts on to our car of course but im shock since im guess that the prelude has a bit more HP. So ill be picking one of those 5spd trans and if im lucky to find a prelude a20a3 then ill be more than happy to use that as a donor for Rhonda and have a spare motor to build .

Myquickcoupe: ima try to get it neat as possible like hondamonsters. hopefully it cools down over here cause its been warm and sometimes hot to work outside.

[ShyBoyCA6]

guess what im about to buy

Yup thats right decided to use this since i wont be needing the A series one so....can't wait to get it and start doing some work on it to make it fit and buy a bisimoto Intake manifold gasket... this car is gonna cost me some money but should be worth it in the end i hope . Also gonna get an estimate on the downpipe and to weld something for the OBD1 O2 sensor and ill post pics when i get the stuff ready before the install for ya Old Geezers oh and for them noobs as well!

Also um what Throttle body should i get for this? doesn't say the Diameter of it but im thinking a 68mm throttle body? or should i get the 70mm?

[elpuma]

I think the bore is 64mm so if you get the 68mm or 70mm throttle body you gonna need to bore it.

Post #445 on 87roach's 1987 S Hatch Build talks about it and shows you pics.

Oh damn thats a big jump! i think i will pick up a 68mm throttle body to be on the safe side.

Looking good bro. Dont go all beast on the throttle body 68 max. To big cause a lean mixture. Unless you have a buildt head it wont make a difference. Bigger is not always better LOL. Looking good thou. Remember when i sold you that obd1 dizzy YOU have to grind down your Thermo housing a bit not much. But other then that its pie. You also going to need some square type washers to hold down the dizzy. Good luck and great work.

will do and i notice that it rubs slightly but shouldn't be a problem grinding it down to make it fit properly

Hes talking about yours, and yes thats a gearbox mounts, its still an auto...

[Hondamonster]

Thanks! I plan to fill all that this winter after the last few shows this season. I'll also be getting rid of all the brake lines in the bay.

Sorry to thread jack, op. I was just throwing that up there for reference.

[elpuma]

So what was done to the dizzy to get it to fit in there??

[ShyBoyCA6]

So what was done to the dizzy to get it to fit in there??

well i don't really know but they shaved down some areas to make it fit.




Also im gonna put this project on hold cause i really need a car to be in. So im gonna do the "stock" build so it can be done alot sooner maybe in 2 weeks. i need a new block for Rhonda since the block is no good anymore. ill post pics when the black coupe is complete.

[obdriver6]

So, did you ever buy a nissan?

[gfrg88]

So what was done to the dizzy to get it to fit in there??

I think there's a how-to

Ooor, you could buy a plate. I think they're much better, just cause if you have to replace you can do so without having to worry about modding it again

[Hondamonster]

What's the advantage of going to obd1? you planning on tuning at some point? it seems like a decent amount of effort.

being able to tune the timing is the biggest. our distributors work off vacuum. Upgrading to obd1 with an electronic dizzy opens up so many options to tune. it's just the cool thing to do

[Rendon LX-i]

There's no how to on they dizzy. Its way different .

[Hondamonster]

oh yeah, vacuum advance... well right on then.
