Title: turbohf DC4 Integra build... ~fixed then sold next day~
Post by: turbohf on January 31, 2014, 12:05:24 AM
so... EK sucked, needed too much body work i was too lazy to do and too cheap to pay someone else to do for me.

so local ricer kid had this Integra, one of the times we where talking he is like trade me cars <~NO. but i gave him a ride. he wanted it. said i could keep all my shit. so i swapped suspensions. wheels. seats. fuck even my battery. took my stereo system and traction bar, etc, etc. so he got my cam'ed B18B EK with lots of his shit. i got a straighter, cleaner, clean title (whatever that is) DC4 Integra....that i preferred over the Civic anyway, but found the civic for cheap.


so...

1998 Acura Integra LS

"extra parts"... old ass cira 98 Alpine alarm. couple sets of RCA's, lots of random wires in that piece.

car had a smell. so i pulled the carpet to pressure wash.

think i had the car a day? when i did this lol.

omg...

so these are FUCKIN GARBAGE! they where on the car when i got it... they are Blox LCA's. 4 of the 6 bushings are SHOT. and well they are blue. so i painted them black. also i have 96-00 Civic coilovers, so the shock bushing needed narrowed....
...then i notice that the fuckin swaybar wont bolt to these things. i threw them on anyway, i have since picked up some OEM arms with swaybar mounts i still need to throw on.

(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20131228_120828.jpg&hash=f9a30b829b871c85376aecfd47778f48af6d1a18)
ahh my Cusco Zero-2 coilovers.  :Jew:

so i swapped those on to get rid of the ghetto reverse rake....


think i did all that the first or second day i had the car. interior is all cleaned and reinstalled.

how she is right now. i kept my wheels (17x7.5 Advan RG1's) off the Civic obviously. was planning on a new set, but these look better on the Integra than they did on the Civic. so im gonna roll them till the engine/turbo/etc is sorted out i think...

just cars man. will always be more. sure as shit isnt gonna be my last. and unless i score a deal on a 98 ITR roller, this probably isnt going anywhere for a while, along with the GVR4....

i do have another Civic coming up soon though lol... i give that till the end of summer.

Fabreeze is awesome for smells. My crv had a bad cowl seal when I got it letting water pour into the blower motor and then into the carpet. I tried everything to get rid if the smell. Eventually I sprayed fabreeze on it, pulled the carpet in that area back and sprayed the backside. Haven't smelled it since and that was a few months ago

notice anything odd on this one? i had to do a double take.

i always hate this, just buy the right fuckin bracket... but this one was pretty solid, and parts supplied by ACE hardware. so, cool.

oh this is the fuckin scariest.
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20131228_111129.jpg&hash=3261c05ff5b5c0521ab0300f1ab711ae94ea2412)
omg. seems solid though. but always wonder when its gonna go up in a ball of flames.  :-\ :-X


along with those you have a shit ass installed kill switch. 4 speakers that werent even mounted. seriously there where no screws holding any of the speakers to the car. wires just kinda twisted together, and electrical tape pinched over that (not wrapped)..... what else? oh vTaK conversion, the wires where just stripped back, then jammed into the ECU sockets. gauge cluster had 2 different color gauges in it, along with being all kinds of broken. and duct tape over the SRS bulb...all you need to do is NOT plug the yellow harness into the back of the cluster...ahh, fuck. my head hurts.



i did score some shit with the car.

(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20131228_113357.jpg&hash=2c65ad54a7f7c19550475428b5f6e540d81da7ac)
couple non-vtec distributors, obd1 p75 intake with fuel rail (i needed these things for my swap)

got stock air box/tube, and a OEM accessory moonroof visor i promptly removed (not sure i like it?), also has OEM door visors, and painted ITR rear spoiler (i swapped it on as you can see above), and of course the OEM accessory spoiler.

all 155whp and 106ft tq.  ::)... this is NOT saying in the car. i might put it in a Civic im getting. havent decided.
B16A3 bottom (stock)
P72 head w/B17A1 cams
Blox intake
Skunk2 66mm TB?
Benen fuel rail
china header that makes subi noises
K&N intake
JDM non-LSD B16A trans
P28 tuned by a guy Nate here in town.

i really think its a parts bin motor. like he called around and this is the shit he found for cheap.


as you can see it still has PS, AC, CC, washer resivor, etc, etc. think he was too lazy to start hacking shit out like most guys. i plan on keeping it all.... maybe not the cruise control, havent decided on that.

Cruise is the shit on long drives.

drove down to Portland a week or 2 ago. was nice. but people around here are stupid and cruise in the fast lane at 55 in a 70... it did get some nice use though. drives up to Bellingham to see Dave could use it little more. but I'm always in the city and its useless.

I also broke it lol. I'll post a pic later of how.

I had a car catch on fire with that same fuel line shit loooooool

being 16 and trying to tap into a dry rotted ass ed6 fuel hose for a pgmfi conversion.

fix that shit asap
Title: Re: yes i got another fuckin car.... DC4 > EJ.....
Post by: turbohf on February 02, 2014, 12:24:28 AM
yeah, maybe ill dig around tomorrow to see what i got. i have a B18B fuel rail, and im thinking i have some oem lines.



so onto some baller shit...

buddy said this was broken, fuel gauge stopped working again. found him a cheap cluster, jewed him slightly on this.
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20140119_192041.jpg&hash=a988cf0ea25f5096f4f6a7095933f030d0b5df76)
then i took both my old cluster and the "new" 98 ITR cluster apart and made one perfect one, one pile of junk.
so yeah, working ITR cluster for deals...$100


(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20140119_192834.jpg&hash=d976a961fd7614b5f0fb69a9a1d474eb22bbc472)
this is the reason the cruise control stopped working lol. normally i wouldnt buy NRG anything, nor a quick release... but i got the short hub and release for 40bucks? so yeah. ok.

and im sure no one here cares...

but i bought another SPOON wheel. i was kinda disappointed with the MOMO Tuner i had in the EK. it didnt have the quality of the SPOON wheel ($230 vs $465). this one is used, but in nice condition. just broken in. and i love it. so fuck off.
$200 for those who are counting. its jew deals, but i didnt even jew, he said the price, i said MINE!/SOLD!


(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20140119_204920.jpg&hash=e39f25b56376229f5fa82c5becfcadb50c4ef84f)
ITR boot was in there when i got it, Skunk2 knob was stolen from EK on trade, love the weighted shift knob.


looks like it for now. i might start putting together my motor tomorrow... shit i dont even have pics of that stuff... i still need money for couple items i need, so not sure when ill get to it. i am helping buddy with his build, maybe ill post that up too...

wow... way to take a simple project and turn it into a pain in the ass lol...

so fuel line. fuck.

i dig around and find a line... ehh wrong one... find another... same. shit... another!?! perfect! good legnth, right fittings and angles, etc.. take the B18B rail off its intake. swap injectors, replace an o-ring..good right? FUCK, i checked to make sure i had everything, even found the 2 washers i needed.... i dont have a fuel dampner cap fucker that goes on the end of the rail!!!  :evil:

call a buddy that i know has one, suppose to go to his place anyway... but he was in the superbowl mode, and didnt call back...

head to buddies to help on his project, and steal extra from him.... and some other parts for my project, ill post up that shit later. mostly misc shit.

then i noticed this....
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20140203_194545.jpg&hash=7d67d0d9bc7ae847e868b1a331bf048f1fbb682a)
oops. fuckme.  :-\


so i work at honda, no big deal, i guess im replacing it like i probably should have anyway. bottom fitting was of course a bitch too. but i was careful this time lol.

(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20140203_194503.jpg&hash=51a958b0cad83776fab63c941310b33453e11e7b)

Thats begging for a boosted f2b!

I got a core B20B long block for 75bucks...  :Jew:  so that's what's going in. it had a spun rod bearing. got a crank for 60bucks. rebuild kit with pistons 185. I had a set of minty pr4 rods. just waiting for some money to buy new oil pump and pickup, timing belt and cover, along with some other misc shit...

I have a bunch of the turbo parts already too.


this will be rocking here pretty soon hopefully. basically building what was in the EK just slightly larger.

ok. so i finally got around to doing some work. been helping others, and well just being lazy or broke, or cant decided what i want to do...


so here it is the $75 B20...that turned into the $1200 B20... fuck. :?:


ok, so my place is a mess. really should spend a day and dump run everything that doesnt bolt to a car i currently own...

but i cleared all this space that was full of junk and bolts/hardware. so i have a good place to work from. see how long that lasts...  :-\

after i got a clean space, i filled it back with shit lol. actually i gathered up all the parts i was going to use.

once again i got a gasket set from Mizumo Auto on ebay. actually i got pistons, bearings, rings all from them. good deals.

(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20140302_144355.jpg&hash=a0bcadda44d1f7f47a1e1f4a89a7603cc784546c)
ahh, there they are. looked for like 10mins for the thrust bearings, fell behind the bench there. fuck.
also got some more GREEN plastigauge. i only had red, cuz you dont use it for a honda? you need GREEN for mains/rods on a B-series.
King bearings, NPR rings.

(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20140302_142909.jpg&hash=91017b981a49549a3b1b7e61b8f7c90cceb311e3)
one of im sure a couple Honda orders for this motor. new "ITR" oil pump, pump pickup (motor are a bearing, didnt wanna risk it), gasket and oring for both those. new thermostat also. new timing belt of course (well i did reuse one last time i guess lol) and a new lower cover, cuz the crank pulley was cutting into the last one.

(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20140302_152553.jpg&hash=ac7131988b59589591262f8cbc68ec68bdb9225a)
block all cleaned and prepped.
it should be said that i honed this block, and cut it for the turbo (ill post better pics later), then it spent a good while in the parts washer. then pressure washed. with both main oil galley plugs removed (better pics below). to get a good cleaning (spun a bearing before, im paranoid)
then i emptied 2 cans of brake cleaner here to make sure everything was spotless on the inside!

goes all the way threw the other side to this one right above the rear main seal.

i cleaned the shit out of that path. and to the oil filter. up to the head. and to the mains/crank. i got a set of brushes from HF.

assembly lube.

i have a couple different mixes here. dark one is off the shelf. the lighter one is 50/50 with some oil, and the little cup is mostly oil.
i use the cup for headbolts, cam bolts, etc
lighter shit for cams when setting up lash
dark stuff is thick as shit and sticky. put it on the crank/rods, everything else if its gonna sit for a min before starting.
there is some ARP lube back there too... but no ARP hardware in this motor, so it didnt come out to play...

bunch more Honda shit... mostly just hardware. i cleaned a lot in the parts washer, but missing a lot of oil pan bolts, nuts, etc... so i bought an assload of 10mm headed nuts, 12mms, and 14mms. always seem to need more, and spend too much time looking. and looks like some 10mm (actually they are threaded like 6mm) bolts for the pan also.
what else is there... oh oil orifice thing. threw the oil on away, was worried there was bearing in it. new bypass hose.

like $30

this is what im porting... OBD1 P75 intake manifold... i bought this on a package deal, sold it to this kid, then i made him give it to me when we traded cars cuz he said he still had it (took sensors and shit off it)

so this was $free$

Professional Products 65mm throttle body. went to help a buddy buy a turbo kit, he bought a new intake/tb/etc. and when i went to help him install it he gave me the old shit as payment? whatever. turned out to be this...

so...$free$


so didnt do much i know. but i think im gonna get this ready to throw in soon. might not be boosted... it may be... not sure yet... working on some life details...


also, i have a bunch or shit i havent even posted, lots of parts still left, just bought some more the other night. getting real close to a full swap ready to drop in...

tonight...


so i think i have collected all my engine brackets...
(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20140317_193048.jpg&hash=f01546e3e1881af7f58caa4616f1b5e63e29653c)
so i cleaned them and painted them all the same color. some had OEM coat, some had nothing/slight rust.
i will be running AC and PS... so i hope those are the right brackets, i bolted them up, so should be legit lol... P54's on both if anyone can confirm?


oh yeah ,so i dont think i have pictured of all this, but i have been looking for a transmission for this car. back and forth on pulling the B16A trans from teh car (perfect condition). but i wanna have the swap 100% ready to swap in. and was hoping to run an ITR LSD...or maybe MFactory. looks like im going ITR though.

buddy says he will sell me his parts tranny, he is all iffy, back and forth, no price, etc...

another friend of ours tosses the diff out of his case. some back and forth, he buys a tranny from a friend. he kept saying he was going to "rebuild the tranny".... yeah, right, you said there "where gears in the road"...no rebuild.
told him i would give him nothing for it, that i wanted it, i would pay for his time. i finally got it...

talked to my other buddy, got a price range... oh yeah, was told that the tranny was "probably a B16" and that it was missing one gear, maybe grinds, idk.... anyway took that one too.

got them home, took them both apart. counted the teeth on the ring gears... 64 teeth, BOTH non-vtec transmissions.

FUCK  :evil:

says he has another tranny, has no idea what it is... take it apart, lmk. we will work out a price....  :-\ :?: :evil:

i go there, take it part right there. 66 teeth = win...... had broken case, i told him i would give him 50bucks, so he just sold it to me for $100... then he jewed me on some engine mounts (ill post later).

long fuckin weekend of transmissions being pulled apart...

good 94-95 inner case, 94-95 and 96-01 outer case.... gonna bring them to work to clean. then i think im going to mix/match them for my trans. the 96+ has mount studs and the 94-95 is missing vent tube.
why not? im gonna have to re-shim everything anyway.

and...

I can't disagree with that.

But you know, it seems like there's a lot of stupid people working on cars. Like on my Eclipse GT. The guy installed some headers, ebay's I guess, and the ports of the headers doesn't line up with the port of the head. Result? 1/4 of the exhaust port was in the way of the flow.

You can install cheap stuff sometimes, but at least don't loose power when you do so...

Nice new car btw!

do I? feels like I'm going pretty slow. but at decent pace.


still debating buying all the rest my turbo shit (lots of funds) or just throw the motor in. kinda want to do that. then I'll just order my jumper harness, and dial the AEM in on motor then and compensation for boost...i think its a good plan.

actually i had the same cams in the EK. they didnt seem to big at all, the GVR4 cams have more lope.

as for your rings. for you power its not gonna matter. i have only done it on 2 builds, the other was my high rpm B16 screamer (392whp). i have beat plenty of OEM piston cars with shelf rings...

so i cleaned the cases and small parts in the washer at work...


then i cam how and found this on my door step:

see those helical gears? yup... ITR LSD...

$315 shipped  :Jew:


(https://realhomemadeturbo.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi276.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fkk32%2Fefssuck2%2FDC4%2FIMG_20140321_203134.jpg&hash=9ca935de8b19184907e8d41f1c7135d64d9f7713)
so those are the case housings cleaned up. didnt go crazy. just dropped them in the washer for a good while. as far as im concerned, they cant get cleaner.
so thats the clutch case from trans #2, outer case from #3. and gearset from #3...
hydro case ($50)
S80 GSR gears 1-2-3-4-5-R ($100)
S80 ITR LSD ($315)

but i still have a gearset/outer case/diff to sell, make back lots of my money.... should be 250-300 total into this trans...well shit, forgot about new Honda parts. hopefully just get away with a handful of crush washers and an axle seal that was fubar.


i thought about a non-VTEC 5th gear... but im gonna pass on that. i like having boost super close to me in 5th on the freeway. love a tip in 60-100? kind of passing power in 5th

wow, staining on the case looks way worse with the flash from my phone. anyway. hopefully final assembled. the countershaft circlip doesnt want to seat, so its making the trans hard to turn. fuck. but im done for the day. back hurts. dont want to throw that fucker around anymore. seems like its a bitch to find gears. tested before assembly and it worked mint. hate. gonna look at it with fresh eyes later.

Nicely done. Take out a shim ;)
Also how do you get them apart? You have a press?

you NEED a press for the counter shaft. but for the main shaft it comes apart pretty easy. just turn the shaft upside down and give it a little bump on the bench and the gears will drop off.

i didnt bother with the counter shaft.

Don't need a press.  Most I've ever needed was a gear puller but you could probably set the shaft upside down on the bench and tap the 4 5 gears and bearings off

thanks

undecided. if I work out trans issue, order my jumper, throw timing belt on the motor. I can probably do the swap this weekend. then could always run the fucker on motor and see what that actually puts down. kinda curious.


got something else that may be requiring my money/time. not sure. we will see...

Post by: turbohf on April 05, 2014, 11:23:08 PM
i still own this....  ::)


we start with the trans... cuz its being a bitch. i have had it together and apart more times that i can remember or would care to say.

shifting issue is 2 parts...

one:  i took a good look at the shift holder. it worked on the test, but did look haggard. my other didnt look better. so i filed/smoothed it out. worked better... then when i was at work i checked the price of a new one, fuckit, ordered it up. my price was like 12bucks?

new change thing. throw out bearing. drivers axle seal. little boot for the shift shaft. handfull of washers for trans.
like 88bucks... fuckme.

two:  for some reason (im sure me with a hammer) the 5th gear syncro was stuck on the gear. like it wasnt free to move about. so it was locked out of 5th gear. maybe the slider/hub wasnt cooperating also, but got it all moving nicely now.

but

money shot  :Jew:


pushed in the clutch and got a pop? seems fine tho? got it started on CROME. cuz i had solid base for it. pretty much started right up. couple funny noises. but idk. seemed that the distributor was making a loud ticking noise. like valve lash, but louder. i was using a stethoscope. went away after about 5-10mins.
clutch pedal seems low. cant adjust. seems to have some oil/grease on the rod. so im probably gonna buy a new one.

trans seems fine. i thought it was gonna be a little bit of a bitch to get into reverse, well, its a bitch to get out of reverse? whatever.

probably try to drive it tomorrow to work.

yup...that's a new one for me... 100% sure it was installed correctly.

good news it did this 1/2 a block from my house (just shifted to 2nd)... then coasted another 1/2 a block... so I just walked back home for parts/more tools...

sounds like something is loose and rattling around in your distributor until it gets jammed in something and snapped those tangs?
IDK I'd open it up and check it out or just swap a new one on.

I've never seen it break those tabs and nothing else, but I've seen it take out sensors or pickups before.
especially in the chinamen knock off distributors where the screws back out if they're loose, or the head pops off cause they're tight.

I'm curious what caused it as well though

Post by: turbohf on April 14, 2014, 06:21:17 PM
yeah. unless the bearing seizes or something gets stuck in there it should break those off... I would think.

I'll be off in like  2 hours. sitrep then.

nothing hanging out in there...  all parts accounted for. no shaft play. spins freely. looks OEM inside other than the coil.

still sounds like shit. gonna drive home. let it cool down. try to adjust the valves again. still wouldnt account for distributor failure.

wtf.

fuck..... well i just got done with a 2hour session of valve adjusting... with no help. so fuck. maybe ill swap in another reluctor wheel/bearing setup... why the fuck not?


i also swapped and bled the shit out of the CMC, shit was nasty.... kinda feels like i helped, but didnt really drive it cuz of shit above. just backed it out the garage and back in.



maybe ill drive the uninsured slipping clutch CX to work tomorrow... probably make it there in that...  ::)

you can pull it all apart. well all the way down to the piece i swapped. i gave up on the last one i tried. you can replace the seal in it too. hell, the one that went into the CRX i replaced the TDC sensor  :-*

I thought the bearings were pressed in.
definitely would help to hear the sound. timing belt tight?
possible slapping and caused the dizzy tabs to break off

little status report:  i think the noise is gone.

new issues may have arisen lol.


anyway. tomorrow im gonna finish putting it back together and hope that none of the accessories where causing the noise (was a thought also). but i gave it a min running with no covers, belts, etc.


so not sure i want to comment on what i think was the problem as a couple things came to mind when pulling everything apart. but. i did notice that the timing belt has super light fraying on the edges? and marks on my new fuckin timing covers where it was rubbing?!?! crank pulley was tight, not sure where it could wonder?

Post by: turbohf on April 16, 2014, 01:23:30 AM
nope. not that newb of a mistake. washer was there and 99% sure installed the right way.

unless the belt was not tight enough (made sure it was tighter) or the alternator/PS pump was making the noise? i still havent hooked those up...

also i did double check that the timing was good. and it was still dead on, no skipped teeth...

valves suck too, Never really bothered me doing suspension work except when I was working at an alignment place.

Was the timing belt centered on the cam gears? I've never heard of them rubbing on the covers unless the belt was loose or not centered. other than the rubbing does the belt still look new.
Oh and I've had an alternator sound similar to valve noise before.
Title: Re: turbohf DC4 Integra build.... swap is in!!!...boost soon! :D
Post by: turbohf on April 16, 2014, 03:16:18 PM
i dont know how the belt wouldnt be centered. but it is tighter now that it was before. belt looks new other than the light amount of fray. im 98% sure it will be fine. i did note that i have a used belt, but mine still looks better, if it had jumped time i would have changed it forsure.

alternator still isnt hooked up... about to go work on it now. but i took it to the autoparts store to test before i bolted it up, tested fine, didnt make any noise. and i used it cuz it is a OEM Honda unit. (turned out that the B16 has an OEM unit also. bonus)

Post by: turbohf on April 17, 2014, 11:12:56 PM
so let me try to update this for non-beach house users before i start drinking...


finished this up wed morning. started right up. sounded nice. maybe a hint of noise or maybe im spitting hairs.

so i go take it for a spin once warmed up.

i take my usual route around town to easy escape back home if i forget to tighten my lugnuts or something. all is good, so i head it out more open road.

i get on it good and it seems slow with and odd miss/clutch slip feel at like 6k?? i go down a little bit more down the road and try to watch the wideband, this time when it gets there it just sputters/noise/etc like the timing belt is shredding and bending all the valves...
i did say fuckit after a couple mins and give it another try with similar sounds.

i call around, decide to walk my happy ass back home to get the Galant and some tools. its probably a little over a mile... more than i have walked my lazy ass in years.

i pull the covers, belt is there and intact. but seems to have way more slack on the pulleys side than when i just put it together (did i mention that i watched it run with NO covers at all and had very little belt deflection before i put it back together? cuz i did). i bump it up to TDC and the intake cam is...retarded? on the exhaust side about 1 tooth... should run like that?!?! so i pull the belt off, spend way too much time trying to reset it (im on the side of the road, limited tools, no jack, in the light rain).

i get the belt to my liking. fires right off. i call a buddy, give him the update. try to get it on speaker for him to listen. agrees it sounds ok, not perfect, but would rather hear in person. i rev it a little. ehh. i wrap it out a good some (5-6k im guessing) and I WATCH THE FUCKER JUMP TEETH ON THE INTAKE SIDE... fuck, fuck.

amazingly it lands almost TDC. exhaust cam is dead nuts, intake is like 90 fuckin deg towards the firewall...  :-X :'( :evil:

talk wiht my buddy some more, say fuckit. yank that cam back. reset the belt again. throw all my shit in the galant. jump in the car fires off.... yes, no joke still firing off just fine... go to make a 4pt turn (oh yeah lowered on 17s lol) CEL comes on, i think it stalled, or maybe i shut it off, but couldnt check codes, so back to FUCKIT. and rolled out... quick shifted it all the way to 4th at like 20mph, and coasted home with the 4way flashers on... oh yeah, plan was it only was doing it at 5k plus RPMs, right? seemed to play out.


still reading? do i make any sense?...


i just pulled all the caps (one at a time) on the intake side. all look fine. no scoring or metal transfer, etc. pulled the distributor back off, spins fine. but i swapped back to the OG bearing/center section cuz it it did this shit after i swapped it. so fuck, for giggles back to the other...



thoughts?...    shit i didnt do a compression test before or after yet. still wanna do that. dont know how much vacuum its pulling. i dont have the shit for a leakdown test...  thinking of just throwing a good looking used belt i have on and giving it another try....

timing belt was brand new OEM Honda.

water pump was used OEM Honda, ~105k. spun great. hell it was given to me by a tech at honda.

tensioner was used OEM. idk. probably off the motor. ~208k. spun fine or i wouldnt have put it on.



now im not guaranteeing these are perfect. just saying...

Honda valves bend so fucking easy, pistons could look mint and you could have 16 bent valves. You really need to get your hands on a leak down tester.

Usually when the head stalls out from momentum its not at full lift on the lobe, so when its all said and done the bottom end can still rotate without bending anything.  On engines with pinner dick cams like Y7's and F22A/B etc...

I've had ls motors come out fine, and I have a pile of bent valves from others

Leak down test like mike was explaining in the beach house. I know you said you don't have compressed air, do you have a comp tester? This is rhmt, make an adaptor from a schrader valve to the hose on your comp tester, go to sheetz or somewhere they have a free tire pump and do that shit?
Don't know if it would work but I've done weirder shit.

looks like im picking up another head for 40bucks from a buddy. so im gonna rip this head off, pull the valvesprings out and swap them into the new head and throw it on... but heagaskets locally are felpro and about $64 vs Mizumo/evergreen gasket that is $19shipped but will take 2-3 days...  :-\  thinking about reusing it, but not sure i wanna do that when putting a different head back on.

thanks. very happy with the spoon wheel, deff my fav wheel. had one in my CRX, then i got a MOMO Tuner, wasnt even close to the same just felt wrong.

Post by: turbohf on April 20, 2014, 12:41:53 AM
still undecided. i either put the belt on wrong (even after doing tons of them right with no issue?.) or there is something hokey with the tensioner. i havent even bothered to pull it apart. think ill tear into it before dinner tomorrow.

btw. leaning towards the tensioner. not so much for my ego. but as i swear it had good tension before startup, then seeming magically just turned to shit and had tons of slack....

reminds me of the first time I attempted to remove the bitch pin in the shift linkage during an engine swap.
Used a phillips screwdriver. fucker got stuck so I had to pull the engine out with the linkage still attached. Never did get the screwdriver out of the bitch pin

yup done that.

this just has a tight fit. and i want to tighten the pulley later. so i left it in... but now thinking about it. fuck. probably want to put the pulley on without the covers. watch it run before i torque the pulley...

cross your fingers fuckers... lol

shits back together. belt has lots of tension, fucker is TIGHT. tensioner is set in its correct place. is clean and spins freely. water pump spins free.

head has no plugs in it. so i just hit the key and let her spin. put her at TDC. looked good. same tension. hit key again and just let her spin, maybe 10 cranks? still all good  :noel:

its dark now, mosquito are trying to eat me alive...



also. was talking to my mom at dinner. her car had been having issues. turns out timing belt broke. like 96 nissan quest. she said this is like her 4th or something that has broken over her years driving. no catastrophic failures. just re-belt and go.... go i guess it runs in the family lol...

Serpentine belt falls off and the alternator stops charging the battery, car dies and won't run shortly after.
Just pointing out that her car not running doesn't mean it wasn't a serpentine belt

i did a compression test. was like 170-180psi across... if i remember right the CRX was ~180 across on a low comp B20 also, think it had smaller cams.


to add to the death toll, i came home on saturday and was fucking with the AEM, and spark disappeared!?!?! figured that homo aftermarket coil that litterly said "OEM" on it went bad (matter of time). well the fucker was STUPID HOT. engine temp was only 107*, and it was loose your fingerprint hot for just a tap on it. was bulging and maybe leaking?.... awesome.  :o


swapped it out and fired right off. then after some messing with the AEM again on sunday, think i figured out something. then it went from almost firing off, to loosing spark again?? swap in stock ECU and it fires right off...on 3 cylinders... left the one plug wire off lol.
so idk wtf is going on with this box (seems to be the same thing the GVR4 box is doing).


oh, and the 3bar MAP sensor i bought turns out to be a fuckin stock replacement. which is what i was fucking with on saturday night.  :evil: :evil: :evil: waiting to hear back from those assholes.


so ~10psi and CROME...awesome... cant wait...  ::)



despite all that... i ordered like 294bucks of shit...

idk. haven't called him yet... I want to tune the car myself, and on AEM. but the fucker won't work on either car. both are having a no spark issue. so I would assume its something I'm doing? but no fuckin idea.

Dave said AEM = retail by the hour.... think he was being nice and saying no AEM tune lol.



I don't like CROME. I can do a map on it. just don't like it.


ostrich cable apparently has been taking a big shit on me. almost stranded my ass on the freeway in morning traffic today... awesome.... wonder how many other little issues have been caused by that...

want to just throw this shit away.

ordered a cable..  $16... for a system I barely use, and don't want to... awesome. and I had velcroed the ostrich to the top of the ecu case and taped up the cable so there wasn't a lot of unnecessary movement in the setup... seems to have worked great... ::)

I got the shorter 6" cable as replacement.



BTW. thinking that this "timing belt" issue started with this piece of shit. and a possible stupid newb oversite on my part? maybe. idk. kinda pissed at the moment.

Haha. Could it be the AEM unit is bad itself? Something crossed or fried inside. Didn't I read you got it from someone.
Luckily my j11? I think it is.
The one that reads off chip or stock ecu has a quick release so if ( it did today ) it goes into dumb mode or laptop dies or ostrich blahs. I can pull that pin and vroom home ;)
Best of luck doode. The coil frying shit is crazy. Specially on two different cars.

i bought it off ebay. so who the fuck knows... actually no, i got it to fire off and run for a couple seconds in my buddies 00 Si.

The coil frying shit is crazy. Specially on two different cars.
it only happened on the Integra.... i just have what seems like the same/similar no spark issue with both the DC4 and GVR4.


oh here is the coil:

and crome is garbage/outdated. not to mention the tumors growing off my ecu with lots of cables that are failing...

those are what I got.


I like how AEM is setup. I like the features.... crome is the opposite. shit seems scattered and hard to find (if it even works when you find it)...


someone buy my AEM box and I'll buy Neptune.  :-*


all that means little...



most my shit should be here before through weekend. I'll be for sure missing my exhaust transition for the downpipe tho. plan to get the charge pipes mocked.

this is most of my order from Columbia. i have a handful of flanges somewhere else. i also dug threw my scraps and threw them in there just in case.

intercooler getting mocked up... took the bumper beam out cuz it was fuckin tweaked. took the headlight out cuz it was tweaked enough where i was afraid to hit the headlight when i tried beating on it and removing it.
so not sure wtf im gonna do about that? probably nothing. fuckit.

intercooler is actually bolted to the car... not sure i have ever done that before? its usually sitting on something, held up by the chargepipes, zip ties, etc...

intercooler will be painted black before final assembly...  O0

bumper cover took the ever so slightest bit of trimming. there where a couple little useless tabs on the back that bumped the end tanks.



then i started cutting up all the pipes i just bought....and didnt take a single pic. lol. i think i was in the zone. should turn out pretty nice, i think. just all loosely fabbed up. need to get some brake cleaner to clean the pipes before welding them up.

more later...

this car was rear ended before. and when it was it looks like it was pushed into something else also, probably a trailer hitch? and it tweaked the crash beam. it was a cunt hair from the headlight when i pulled the bumper off. so i pulled the headlight to get it out of the way. then just removed the beam.

you can see the scar on the bumper below the inner light in the pics.

both headlights need sanded and buffed as they are weathered, but other than that they are fine.



oh, and i have a replacement oem bumper and lip for this.. just waiting to get them painted.

these work fine. got them at Home Depot. like 15bucks for all of them. i have used them on the ITR, CRX, EK, GVR4, etc... just buy 3" ones, and trim the extra off.


then i figured i was about done for that.

oh yeah, sexy now.  8)

i used the 3M headlight kit. was like 18bucks. hit it with a couple levels of wet/dry sand paper (wet), then buffed it out with the supplied buffer pad on my drill. also had some rubbing compound in the package, i used that, but i have used (and still have a bunch) Meguirs PlastiX.


thats it. think im done for the day. might go do some welding to the pipes, but you get the idea...

yeah dude. sucks. when I did the stuff Sunday I'm in jeans and light jacket with my kneepads on. test fitting and tack welding shit up. was kinda warm lol. I'm planning on getting up somewhat early tomorrow and welding most or all those pipes up before it gets 80°+ out.

maybe some down pipe fab?? but I don't have my exhaust. so I don't know where I want to point it. would like to get this shit finished up this weekend.

still need a 2.5-3bar map sensor cuz I got fucked on the one I bought. and need to get my tune going... AEM or crome. not sure yet. haven't fucked with that at all in weeks.

chargepipe is still a little wet. i like the way it turned out though. i thought i was gonna have to get ghetto with some cuts to get it where i wanted, but turned out pretty easy.
not the first choice for BOV placement either. but wanted to make sure i had hood clearance.

oh yeah. so i havent posted this shit yet.

manifold: $50 from a buddy. he said he got it clearance sale from XS Engineering? idk. whatever. its a cast manifold for T3 turbo and tial 35/38 and tial 40 it looks like?

turbo: $217 GSP 57trim wannabe strait from china... i took the angle grinder to it and removed the GSP/tags/etc off it the best i could. i picked this turbo cuz it measured slightly larger than the one that was on the EK.... oh and of course  :Jew:

wastegate: $50  :Jew: Turbonetics Evolution 35/38mm... buddy had this thing around forever, finally talked him into donating it to my project lol. i guess they started making these after they realized how shitty the deltacreepers where and how nice the TiAL units are... so this is the "evolution"?.... ok, shit was cheap, i would have run a delta creep if thats what he had...  ::)  this is suppose to be legit tho.



then i stopped taking pics. i got some decent downpipe fab done. got it pretty figured how i want it to go. gonna clear the AC compressor and shit.



STAY TUNED! WHITEY BENDS, FLUX CORE, AND SOME BALLER SHIT COMING....

so full 3" exhaust with little cat, big resonator. and V-banded Magnaflow muffler. Hallman MBC, and a couple other random misc shit i swiped while i was at it.

put the exhaust on...well i tired. looks like the fucker is about 3" too long. so yeah. ill have to shorten it eventually, dont really give a shit at the moment. ill drive it like that.


more coming soon. now that i have my exhaust and oil drain for turbo i can finish my downpipe, make a dumptube, clean all this shit and final install....hopefully... lol.

drives fine. way the fuck better than my beater ass CX. its cool/comfortable driving around in a stock car, but i love driving around in my DC. idk how to explain, just a way better driving experience, but also not really needed every day...make sense? cuz it doesnt to me, but it does... :?:

its got super response that i felt the NA B20 was missing, comes up into boost quick.  ;DDD then hits a fuckin WALL of fuel at like 4psi  :-\ :-X :'(.... so it needs some tuning forsure. keep taking fuel out, but still pegging WB "rich"... CROME <~ still sucks.  not doing its trace thing in boost. would be awesome if this worked all the time, no not at all (sometimes it doesnt tho).

did this one first.

then re-wired the fuel pump


swapped in 3bar map sensor from DIY Tuning.


then just uploaded the last map from the EK.... went out and did some tuning. seems to need a fair amount of tweaking. but im trying to dial it in...


oh. detcan... i should take a pic of my setup. its just a simple stethoscope with a barbed fitting with some 5/16 hose to another barbed fitting in the back of the head... but not hearing any ping with my B18B timing map unchanged.


crome pro... im getting map traces today. i changed it to 4cell, and getting decent hits all the way up to 6.8psi.



NEEDS MORE BOOST.... B-series + 7psi = "....get ya to work and back"  ::)


i expect to get my power in the 12psi range, but probably gonna tune it into the 15psi range...if there is traction that can be had on the street.... and when i say my power, i mean just that. i dont know what the numbers will be, or care. probably spin both tires threw 2nd, struggle in 3rd...?

ok. little concern...

so on a warm startup. like i go to lunch or hit the store up on the way home, stop. then come back out, it is a BITCH to start sometimes. like cranks and cranks. kinda maybe deadhole, maybe just ignition way off or no spark. only notice it when warm/hot. seems to fire off without issue on a cold start.

pulled the plugs. they all look good. clean burn. smell maybe hot?

compression test yielded numbers about 10psi lower on ever cylinder than the numbers i got after timing belt thing. have done lots of listening with stethoscope under load/boost. never heard it ping.


fuck.

so I remembered that I had a log from the other day. I recorded like 53min lol. anyway lowest temp I'm noticing is 92°F for air temp. looks like I was cruising at freeway speeds for a while. coolant temps 174° 3119rpm.  then up to 130ish when idling for a couple mins.

it hasn't been hot out. it was probably 65-70° Thursday when I was driving around?

swapped AIT sensors.... still shoots up to 130+ after sitting or idle for a couple mins...


SO I HAVE A HUGE HEAT SOAK ISSUE.... any LEGITIMATE suggestions? im not cutting fuckin holes in my hood or shit like that.



COMPRESSION: 175 - 175- 170 - 180.... 4-3-2-1... this is on a stone cold engine. its 66* with 59% humidity (according to my accuweather), elevation of 250ft or so.

130° ain't that bad. I've seen much worse. Heat wrap your shit up. Other than that if you let it heat soak and them start driving after a few what's your temps?

130° ain't that bad. I've seen much worse. Heat wrap your shit up. Other than that if you let it heat soak and them start driving after a few what's your temps?

looks like at 133* crome pulls 3* of timing... makes it a bitch to start..... well i assume thats why its being a bitch to start... like a couple times it REFUSED TO START... like im seriously surprised it started before i killed the battery cranking.

just took it for a drive and its 65* or so outside right now... temps into the 120 range, seem to go down to mid/high 90s. drove it 5miles or so down the road and back... 45mph or so in 5th gear. couple little tip in's.

when i turned around i jumped out real quick and grabbed the charge pipe, and it was cool to the touch. but still showing 95* or so on crome.

btw. coolant temps will drop all the way to the thermostat at 174* or so. it doesnt seem to have a problem doing that at all.


but come back, let it idle for a couple mins, and the fan is coming on at 195, and IAT's are on the climb to 120+


crome shows the timing retard for IAT's to be at 100* F...



radiator seems to be working fine, fans working fine (one is noisy as shit tho), intercooler seems to be working ok... swapped IAT's so i assume that is working.


so... idk, am i over thinking this? even if that is true, im not imagining this hard start issue thats for damn sure. fucker gets harder to start the hotter it is.



downpipe is header wrapped till it starts to go under the pan... i am short on clearance on the hot side pipe, but would like to wrap that. no real way to wrap the manifold? and i dont think wrapping the upper pipe is gonna do much? maybe. but i dont think so.


i installed an air filter... and i made a little shield that blocks it from the radiator fan, open on the engine/trans side of things.... that was installed on the test drive above. see how that works out in the long run...

290whp 258ft tq @ 13psi...  ;DDD ;DDD 

oh yeah there is forsure more in it. hell i was planning on 15psi or so, but after the first pull in the 11psi range, the power was there, so for once i decided to be conservative on power (still a fair amount). Dave said the timing map was solid, no ping, not even after he tried. so its time to beat the piss out of it and enjoy...

I had IAT of 150 yesterday and it was 85 out here. Normal if its 60 i run around 130 just sitting. I'm thinking about removing a high beam or putting washers in he hood to lift it up near the windshield to let the heat escape.

ok. little update.

did i mention it was pushing air into the coolant? cuz it was. replaced the headgasket, fresh surface on the head for good measure. all seems good. had a cam plug leak, but easy fix.

im thinking that when it was hot (when it was pushing air) it was loosing compression and making hard starts? havent noticed an issue. but its pretty lean on starts i think now. still some more fine tuning needed.


also. it is fuckin loud on WOT 3rd gear pulls. 2nd gear just gets a revlimiter. 3rd struggles for traction (even with LSD) and is just loud when the wastegate cracks open... ehh. whatever. its nice when not WOT.


some pics:

Glad to see it finally boosting!





So, earlier in the thread you were talking about how your mother's van broke the timing belt
Multiple times with out damage. The mercury villager/Nissan quest were the same van, they came with the Vg30e (same as the pathfinder, 300zx and maxima) the VG was an interference engine in every car except for the mercury badged vans. Mercury actually made Nissan alter the engine just for their badged vans.

so.... yeah....


heading out to the shop after work, hoping to beat some traffic. flowing little faster than traffic  ;) ;) ::)
car kinda hiccups, maybe a fart, tach starts to bounce around... think maybe its ok, like ignitor or something for a second, then of course my mind shoots to the "fuck me it just broke a timing belt" routine.... i slide across 3-4 lanes of traffic (pretty legit actually) and rail the brakes to get a nice spot on the shoulder... notice it seems to be leaking something... let it do it for a min, give it a push, seems to be coolant?

i give it a couple cranks (i know) and she just zings... no compression at all... FUCK...

make some calls. end up getting a tow home.



Ok when is this ride up forsale?

Since we know you will sell it.  :noel:
time to revisit this i guess.... fuck you... soon as i get it running again.

thinking there might be some changes. return/dyno... sell... buy Nova and/or legit effort to save for house...

At least it looks bad ass

That head have stock valves?
Either way I'd slap a belt on and see if it has compression before I dug in but I'm lazy

I would do the same. Slap a belt on (after seeing if the water pump will spin) and take it for a spin.

after seeing the coolant, i was thinking water pump failure.... but didnt actually bother to give it a spin.

also it appeared that the water was dripping down the back of the block behind the alternator... so probably water tube o-ring? i dont remember where the bleed hole is for the water pump...


i pulled the plugs and they all look legit. pistons appear to still be there  ::)


stock valves in the head.


i was thinking of putting VTEC head on it... kids love the vTaK y0!. it be crackin... i think i have a used belt hanging around to give it a try i guess...

bleed hole go straight back basically behind the alternator

any marks on the pistons? guess its not really possible to look through the spark plugs and see the whole piston top

dont use a breaker bar to remove cams LOL.

decided that if i had lots of valve lash there would be bent valves...

so, i think the valves MIGHT be bent when you can remove the rockers with the cams installed.


i pulled the head:

i think i have a couple bent valves...  ::)


thats all for pics... i have been stealing parts off the car for a while. lol. pulled the suspension, cluster, radio, other random shit. plan is still to finish it up so its running, and drive it till it sells... im in no real rush.


oh, i swopped a PR4 head from a buddy, got it cleaned up... just need to swap springs, swap water pump, put head on, new timing belt, etc... i have a new water pump/belt already (months ago lol).

need to do valve adjust, coolant, and something with that battery. that battery was in my CX, but it was barely cranking over the D. so i swapped it out, and its been in there for like 3months. ill be surprised if its got juice to turn on the fuel pump for a second.

I remove the crank bolt with a 900ft-lbs impact that I paid 99$ brand new. Best fucking tool I've ever bought.

Crank bolts and axle nut and a joke to remove now.

There I found the link: https://buytools.ca/eng/1-2-inch-impact-wrench-900-foot-lbs-bw2860-2566.html

No heat and no pain. And you cannot forget your ratchet on the bolt while starting the engine... Ask me how I know...

oh hey. was kinda reading over my old posts... i said it had a water leak. a long while back at this point i thought it was leaking a little coolant, well it was, and tracked it down i thought to a leaky hose (shitty clamp/not tight). well after seeing that little bit of coolant, thinking maybe water pump, or my original thought of water pipe o-ring. well before i threw the head back on i pulled the water pipe...and it came out super easy. was apparent right off the bat that the o-rings where a size too small. fuckin china gasket kit. and/or i just didnt notice when putting it together. i still had new honda o-rings i bought from the first time i thought it was leaking, so all is fixed.

so keep an eye on those o-rings in china kits? Honda used 2 sizes for most the cars over many years.

I know. I'm just fucking with ya. Most all the other nova owners here got a house before a nova. House then wife then nova then kids then no money to build nova.

oops. forgot the update...... i installed the GSR cluster!. i sold the ITR cluster. the one that came with the car was cobbled together broken junk.  this GSR cluster was the wrong year (94...or 96), so i had to swap the back case, some indicators, bulbs, etc. its outlined somewhere on the internet if your having trouble.

anyway i bolted it into the car. put the column covers back on. i assume i took them off to put the SRS reel back in?... and need to find my torx bit to put the air bag bolts back in.


i need to find a battery to steal/swap that will be good enough to get this car down the road, aka sold. i dont want to buy a new one (i would put the new one in the CX, one in there is only year or so old into DC4)...  :Jew:

ok so im working on this thing today.


this pile sounds kinda shitty. little valve noise sounds, little puttering sounding (like low compression). smokes. compression is kinda low at 170-170-150-160. it was 180 across around dyno time. and havent seen it smoke till i put this head on.  :evil:

i pulled the head off. i see no signs of valve contact. all the valves LOOK seated.

all cam journals have some wear, but not looking excessive at all.


wtf do i do? suggestions? questions? i want this thing together the way it was at dyno time. want to done cheap obviously. and i want it to be sold. need as much money as possible. wont part it out anymore. so im not gonna source a new/different/whatever motor or other shit, unless 10000% necessary.

pull the head apart and lap some valves? drop the fuck at the machine shop call me when its done? pull pistons/rods to check ringslands?.....???




fuck.

If you already have the head off do a quick lap job and slam it back together. What cams are you running again?

oh yeah. seals. i fuckin hate doing valve seals. plus i dont think i have any for P75 head. they use some odd seal (old accord part number) and are expensive as fuck. every other honda head uses the same seals that are like cheap OEM... i should look. i think i have bought 2 gasket sets. only remember doing one...maybe 2 heads, and one was OEM seals forsure cuz i remember spending x2 as much on them.


thinking i should pull some pistons out. but thats gonna turn into a BITCH. space is so tight. i dont want to pull the downpipe off cuz its up against the AC compressor and no room. its always a mess pulling pan/dropping pistons.
but down 30psi on that one cylinder?!?! damnit. the 10's i dont give a shit, thats acceptable. could be cold motor not wanting to pump up.  :-X :-\ :'( :evil:

Dude, your already half way done taking the engine apart. Just pull it out and pull the pistons and inspect some shit.

yeah. that's where I'm at... thinking I'm gonna lap the valves first. but really at this point I'm probably doing it either way just to make sure and know.

I have no reason to believe that there has ever been any detonation on this motor.


maybe the head wasn't flat? I didn't bother to see if there was a hydrocarbon leak in cooling system. smoke I seen was blue for sure.
