A new dd for while the accord is under the knife

Damn that volt dip when the bass hits

You Def eats some volts. But there will be no caps in my car lol no "band aids" the upgrade I plan includes a 135 amp alt and couple good agm battery's. Northstar xspower or similar I will be going from my current 900rms 500 sub 400mids highs to close To 1600rms with 1200 for a new sub and a new 400x4 for the rest

yah that is a decent voltage drop, I've gotten many mixed reviews regarding usage of a capacitor for car audio systems. I agree adding a higher output alternator and a stout battery would be indefinitely be a wise choice. i'm just a little confused why the capacitor is considered a "band-aid", ive seen mixed views on this subject but i would still consider one based on the electrical research I do at work. I think many people do not match components and/or do not understand may be the primary issue here. I can see caps used in car audio systems easily having a capacitance over or under rated for the job they need to do. I look at dV/dT 's (change in volts over change in time) of charging and discharging curves, associated instantaneous maximum current ( I= CdV/dT and ), and wattage calculated from this.

I do like how you utilized the stock clock as a dvm. I would only have one suggestion, swap out that electrical tape and get yourself some epoxy and "pot" / dip / coat the circuitry that you want to be insulated. It will hold up very well!

I say band aid cause it does not fix the underlying issue. And that's my electrical I'm not running anywhere enough juice. I can out one on but it could actually turn out to be more of a stran on the alt even though the volt drop won't be as noticeable. Im furniture going to be getting an xspower d3100 agm battery and I may be getting a 135amp alt the battery alone should work but the alt would make it very strong.

[ghettogeddy]

And as far as the electrical tape I just kinda tossed it on there.. I can use some plastic dip to coat it later. I have another dvm to try before I make my final assembly

bought a roll of 16.5ft rgb leds just got them in these will be cut into sections and will turn me into a ricer...... lol but really im putting them under the car for ambient light for car shows. and if they work out ill be doing them inside as well

Just don't try hijacking any big rigs at speed, okay?

[ghettogeddy]

No problem... I'm too fat to fit through the window or sunroof lol

with the 10 picture per post limit and me having 77 pictures to post ill just post a like to team integra for the latest update on the teg

lol at the elmo box

[ghettogeddy]

btw the box has been officially dubed #aintloudelmo

[ghettogeddy]

ok got it all in and tuned and let me tell you its fn amazing lol . this 1 10 on 1200rms is putting down 140.4 db and 39 hrz its pritty loud for what it is.

anyways i have a bigger update.

i week ago my b18 took a crap on me we haven't figured out if it was hydro lock due to a blown head gasket or i throw a rod. but all i know is that motor is toast. so we got my spare b20 rebuild real fast nothing fancy just a upper and lower gasket kit and a water pump and timing belt the motor looked very healthy for what it is. had a little mishap on the water pump snapped a bolt off in the block then broke and extractor into a whole i made in the bolt and lets just say it is forever a part of the block now lol we did get it water tight with some gasket maker though.... anyways got the b18 pulled then got the b20 in and runnign took about 3 days total. then on our first test drive a whole showed up in the transmission so im currently on the hunt for a ls hydro trans case.

ill put up pics later

[ghettogeddy]

start off with the stero install pics

new deck and eq


custum tweeter pods






amps and sub

[ghettogeddy]

battery and under hood goodies






now for the pics of the engine swap that i got not many though

b20 semi rebuilt


b18 out


b20 in



trans mission failure after first ride with b20 in

looks good Geddy. I was in your neck of the woods last week. RedzoneRace is right across the apartment building you lived at on wilber. anyways car looks good man.

[ghettogeddy]

Ya I'm up off Buchanan now right by the freeway.

[ghettogeddy]

[Tdurr]

i like what you are doing with this thing. good stuff.

[ghettogeddy]

just a little update
swapped out the old cheap short ram that came with the car for a dc sports short ram


also picked up a set of dc sports headers. they were used but i gave them a quick coat of paint.... got them for 30 bucks so i cant complain that a lil welding needs to happen.
there part number is for the 99-00si as well but they will work and get me passed smog. damn cali and there need for carb stickers.




dont you all just wish parts were as available for the 3rd gen lol

[ghettogeddy]

Got the headers put on now to go get it smogged.
