I picked up 2 integras. 1 was a 94 gsr rolling shell with nothing in it at all. Picked it up for $500
My old crx build thred is here
www.realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/index.php/topic,205.0.htmlThats the motor thats gona end up in this car
Quick rundown on the history of this car.
Owner had the car but did not have it insured. It got stolen and the raped everything out of the car, cut ecu harness and all. Owner got it back but it still had a clean title because it didn't have insurance to claim it on. Owner sold it to the next guy. I was gona turn it into a father son race car project but it never happened. Fast forward 4 years until feb 2011, dude puts the car up for sale. I come through and swoop it up. While I was there he was telling me about some dbag that had showed up the day b4 me and was talking about how he had the same car, but wrecked it the night b4. And was gona swap all the parts over. He showed up and decided it was to much work. So while I was buying the car I got the dbags number. Text dbag and decide I would buy it on Saturday. Went and picked it up and now the swapping begins. The car I picked up from dbag was a 98 ls that he slid off the road and into a brick retaining wall. I picked it up for $1500
So ive still got my built ls out of the crx so thats gona be the heart of the beast. So Ive got alot of swaping from one car to another going on. So when I say rolling shell, i mean shell. NOTHING inside.
It needs work, but you get the idea, on to the pics
So got all the wiring ripped out and what little bit of interior was still left.
I have every bit of interior from the donor ripped out and stored down the street at a friends garage.
So with everything ripped out of the shell, I cleaned the life out of the inside of the car. With it being kept outside with just a car cover over it, It had the smell of mouse piss in it. GROSS! So I installed all the wiring from headlights to taillights. Installed the sunroof, headliner, and wiring for it.
Got the battery hooked up to test out some of the wiring b4 I start putting all the interior back together and it all worked.... WHHHOOOO HHHOOOOO!!
So I put down my sound deadening on the whole firewall and plan on doing the whole car. I want a quiet ride. Im using peal & seal instead of dynamat. Per lowerit's advice. It comes out to just over $1 a sq ft.
Firewall b4 Peal & Seal. I used alcohol to prep the surface after I used a scrub brush and purple power.
Firewall pad was a little torn up, so duct tape to the rescue.
Peal & Seal on firewall
Firewall pad installed and duct tapped.
So Just for shits and giggles i threw the back seats in to get them out of the way and see how fitment was.
So now im just waiting on my heater core to show up in the mail, and then I can install it and put the dash in and start working on my abs delete that I picked up from a civic in the local junk yard. Hope to have this thing 100% done by summer. We will see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Got a new turbo for it a few months ago. HOLSLUT BIATHCHHHH!
Got some parts in the mail today.
Sunpro water temp gauge and heater core
So I slapped the heater in along with the ac delete
Then went to work on a little more sound deadning
b4
After
And more work to come today.
Well, got the dash in
and the gauge cluster is all wired up and just got to put the center console and ashtray assembly in and i will be done with the hard part. Hope to finish it up tomorrow. And maybe finish the peal & seal on the passenger side, and put the rear plastic and seatbelts In and that side will be finished.
Well I had a little bit if time today si I did a little work.
Door wiring, and door panel
Didn't do any sound deadning on the door yet. Need to get a new door panel because this one took a pretty good hit when the donor car slammed into the brick wall.
Also finished the sound deadning on the passenger side 1/4 panel
Then installed the seatbelts, and rear plastic
And my oil pressure gauge showed up in the mail
well, got some more work done today.
Now I just got to figure out how to make the lower seat out of a 01 integra fit in a 94. The clips dont line up at all.
Plan for this weekend is to pull the motor/trans out of the donor and and try and get it in my shell by next weekend. We will see.
Got my gauge pod yesterday. So I put my gauges in to see how it fit. Got it from
www.quad-pod.com I must say its real nice. It doesn't obstruct my view of stock gauges at all.
Also got carpet and head gasket today.
Well got a bunch oh shit today off the donor. Not much left to the donor now.
Now I got a bunch of work to do!!
Well spent the earlyer part of the week cleaning and organizing the garage. so today I got a few hours and got rid of all the abs shit, and put the civic brake lines and porp valve. Then cleaned up the engine bay. fucker was super dirty. Tomorrow I'm gona try and drop the motor and trans in.
Little bit of a problem with the donor motor.....
I could but I don't give a fuck enough to care. So as I was getting easy to slide that mount in an tighten the last mount down I grabbed it and it wiggled all over the place, so I said fuck it pulled the whole thing out. Sat and pondered a second and decided I would mess with it later. Pull the trans off grabbed my built ls off the stand, yarded the turbo mani and turbo off (my to4e needs a rebuild real bad) I threw it in the car.
So I just have to order up some parts. Hope everything gets here in time. I need my obd2-1 jumper harness to show up so I can drive it without throwing a bunch of cels for not having the obd2 shit on there.
well, today I got some little shit done.
Pulled oil pan that had my return line for my turbo and catch can and replaced with a oem pan. Than pulled valve cove and put the stock obd2 valve cover on. While I had it off I pulled the delta cams and put stock cams back in. Also did a valve adjustment. Swapped out my obd1 dizzy for a obd2 dizzy. Swapped out obd1 alternator for obd2 alternator. Bolted up power steering pump and reservoir.
So tomorrow, Im gona swap out iacv, injectors, fuel tank, bolt up shift linkage, finish up power steering shit, and bleed brakes. So much little shit left to do its not even funny. I wish it didnt take so fucking long for Delray Acura - Online Acura Parts Store sto ship shit out. I need 1 little heater core hose and i dont know if it will be here in time for the dyno day. If not I might just bypass the heater core all together.
So I got a bunch of shit done today.
Bleed brakes, swapped crank pully, put belts on, finished boating down power steering shit, put engine wiring harness on, replaced map sensor plug, put Cai on, put exhaust on. Had to mod up my test pipe....lol this about the 5th project its been on...lol FLUXCORE BITCH!
Got a bunch more stuff to do. Hope to knock out some more work on the weekend.
Got all my new coolent hoses in the mail today from acura. Also got my 4bar that I'm gona put in a stock map sensor case.
Put on all the coolent hoses to the heater core and dropped in the radiator in and bolted it down. Also bolted in my pimpin test pipe. Only 1 hose to put on now. From my iacv to the water pump pipe. Also set up a appointment to have my new windshield put in on Tuesday. Getting kinda excited to fire it up. Hope my obd2-1 Ecu harness showed up soon. Also got to borrow some wheels to drive on. We will c how much I can get done this weekend.
Well jumper harness showed up today from Hong Kong. looks good. Also got some 200se se-r wheels to use until I pick up some o wheels of my own. So now its time to get to work!
Well with today being mothers day I don't think I'm gona have time to throw a wrench on it. And with the wife birthday tomorrow I don't know if ill get much done then either. But as long as everything goes smooth(cross fingers) I should fire it up on Tuesday.With the fuel filter off I need to run a few gallons of fuel through the feed line into a bucket. When I pulled the tank that was in this car to swap it out it has some nasty rust colored gas in it. Nothing like 8 gallons of rusty fuel. Wtf am I gona do with that? BONFIRE!
I'm pretty pumped to fire this bitch up, that's for sure!
Well got a new windshield today. $240 bucks later... Fuckers.
The 200sx ser wheels dont look half bad on the car either. I need to lower the car. Dont know if I will get time to put my coilovers on b4 the weekend, but as long as all goes well I will be driving this whore to the dyno day.
Also got most all the engine stuff buttoned up. Had to replace the passenger side outer tie rod, but I Fired the whore up!!! SHE RUNS!!!!! All my wiring seems to be ok, but Im pretty sure that im a tooth off on one of the cams. I had to advance the dizzy almost all the way to get it close to 16* But all in all it turned out ok. And it has a pretty good miss. Took it for a spin around the block with no seat..... lol The neighbors were looking at me pretty strange seeing a big dude sitting so low in a car. And couldn't really get it to rev much above 4k without a serious miss. But Ill take a look at that tomorrow. But it was a good day!
Well got a couple of things finished up. Center consoles in, seats are in, front bumper with shitty ebay hype r lip is on.
things on list to do.
1. Get car registered
2. New brake booster line
3. New valve cover gasket
4. New plugs
5. Burn a new tune to the ostrich
6. Fill up the gas tank
7. Put my drivers door wiring in
8. Put drivers door panel on
9. Put my maxspeed coilovers on
10. Install wideband if I have time
11. Wash it up for the dyno day.
We will see how much of this I will get accomplished today
Well thought I could get away with a stock tune with the Chris m throttlebody/intake. Nope, gona have to tune some shit. Way lean around 3k with light part throttle. Gona toss in my wideband tomorrow and see what's happening.
on a side note. I put about 5 miles on it today
Well no tuning got done today. Replaced the bulbs for the cell to find out what was up and I had a solid cel. So figured out that my ostrich is whacked out. It accepts my commands, but doesn't send it to the ribbon to the Ecu. So I slapped a stock tune on a chip and went out for a few rippers. Felt ok but can tell I need to tune it bad. Came back from a few 3rd gear pulls and noticed the exhaust was real hot, shot my base timing and low and behold I was off about 8*-10* retarded. So haven't driven it since, but gona hop on the dyno tomorrow and see what's up. Hope the rest of the car holds together on my drive over to the dyno day. Man I'm beat ill update u guys later.
Well spent the whole day yesterday at the pnw fluffy dyno day. WHAT A BLAST!! Once again, more fun than the previous year. So got the car running and went and did a little tuning on the way to the dyno. All the way across the board in part throttle it was lean. Like 16.5-16.8 lean. At wot it was running in the low 14's So I added about 15% fuel to the whole part throttle bit. and 10% to wot, and then another 5% after that. Jumped on the dyno and made 120whp thats 4whp less than I did with the stock intake manifold/plate/tb. Figured it was part exhaust size. Old was 2.5 all the way through, and this was stock sized untill after the test pipe. So thats like what? 1.75" Its pretty small for sure. But sitting at home last night I started thinking about my timing. Took a look at the map, and I was running 5.5*-6.6* less timing across the board. At wot, it was 6.5* less this time than my old map, so I figure in reality, it would have made a fair amount more. The fact that I had to add 15% more fuel shows that right there. Overall Im real happy with how it turned out.
I will say for some reason this car handles better than any other ef/eg/ek/da/dc Ive ever driven. I dont know why, but its so damn stable in the turns its wild.
And I only got 2k into this car so far, and I hven even sold but like 2 tings off this car. I think when its all said and done, ill have about $1200 into the rolling shell with leather interior and a trans. The only thing I needed to provide would have been my motor at that point.
Well I got a deal on a jdm type r head with a aebs intake mani so going to pick it up right now as we speak! Just got to get a few odds and ends and then will be ready to rock!
so chris m at
www.polarbeartuning.com has my aebs intake mani and is working his magic on it. Should have it this week. And then Im shooting to slap it all together in the next week or so.
Got home today and guess what was on the front porch.....
THats right..... 225/50-15
Well I now have the type r head on. Used the speedfactory lsvtec kit. And its weeping oil from the corner of the head where the dowel pins are, I think. I have to clean it up and make sure its not coming from the valve cover, But I have a feeling I will be pulling the head and grinding the dowels down a little bit. Got a basemap from the nog leed and this car runs pretty good. Other than slapping the head on, II haven't touched this car in months. Garage is a fucking wreck. Its full of my sisterinlaws stuff. Im storing it for her for the next few weeks whiles shes in between houses. Once her stuff is out of there Im doing a dump run. Its time to get both of my cars back into the garage for the winter nights. Once all her stuff is out I can start slapping the turbo stuff on my car and get it ready for some nog setting boost!
So thats where im at now.
