Title: Some kinda Bifida or palsy (1G CRX love)
Post by: Lowerit on March 18, 2014, 10:59:15 AM: Friend of mine bought this for $500, it was gonna be on one of those internet TV shows where a wanna be star drives it and gives his 2 cents of how good or bad it is and compares it to other cars he doesn't own. <-- long story short, said TV people couldn't get it across the border...

Same friend then found a 1G integra, and since this was already stored in my garage I bought it for $500 from him...

I'm gonna replace the muffler, tires get it aligned and drive it.

Post by: Lowerit on March 18, 2014, 12:35:26 PM: I sold my GRM Civic... sold my S197 mustang, GS650 and my 2001 chev 4x4 step side

Bought a 2013 F150 5.0 becasue it was cheap as hell to lease and wouldn't constantly piss fluids on my driveway like the chev and break every week. and I bought a Porsche 964 (foolishly) that ended up needing a motor and that shit wasn't cheap... I could have bought a new civic for what the motor cost me... POS Nazi revenge mobile.

Post by: Joseph Davis on March 25, 2014, 04:39:02 PM: Nice DD choice.

HF manifold won't fit the EW4/D15A3 motor if I am not mistaken. You'll probably crack a piston down the middle under power... they did that a bit while stock.

That wont make power because the stock valve springs wont support the rev range, the cam doesn't move enough air and the valves are to small.... blah blah blah... It was $23 so eat a bag of dicks.

yep, it was $23 ...shipped.. from a 600CBR so I am not flowing enough air.. and I have no idea how to tune it.

the last week I patched 4 floor issues, mig'd , seam sealer...etc...ect.. I have a full poly kit, re-dyed the carpet and got some sweet 2 piece SSR wheels for $100

Put in an alpine tape deck and a pioneer equalizer... been daily driving the 911... and life is good

Even after the poly shift bushings it still shifted like a dumptruck... the problem wasn't the bushings, but the coupler at the trans.

The solution..

a steel bushing from a poly bushing... Heated up the coupler, froze the new bushings and put em together.. shifts tight as hell now.

Doesn't the muffler exist on the driver side with the muffler parallel with the bumper?

92-29 civic the exhaust exits out the passenger side of back bumper.

You would have to cut and weld and then notch the rear bumper to have the exhaust exit the same way as the "EG" :noel:

Borrowed some Kosei wheels, got some Free RA1's

ended up building my own exhaust.. uses a pypes M80 silencer I had lying around, walker single in dual out, some shitty bends... and off we go. No cat needed.

Still need to drop the front

Good thing you didn't get is one. I bought one with plans to modify it for my 87 crx.. The pipes are about 2.38" od, and at one point, they choke down to 2" where the axle back meets.. Who the fuck does that? Even though its built for a 2g crx/4g civic, the piping after the muffler has a weird angle up.. Which has to be cut off and rewelded. Other than that, it's pretty darn close to fitting.

Also, I test fitted a 92 civic exhaust.. This bolts up to the crx, but you just need to modify the axle back.. The whole mid pipe looks like its the same from 84-2000 civics

Post by: Lowerit on June 03, 2014, 10:09:49 AM: Didn't make the track event and took the 911 instead (Would have rather taken the CRX)

Went to put it on the trailer 50 min later and it won't start. Not even a sputter, not even with quick start...

I know I made one major mistake in Devac-ing (black box toss) and not keeping the sensor (MAP I think) but i would think that even with a bad or missing map it would run.

What I've checked

- Fuel at the rail
-Pump primes
- Timing is right
-Plugs are fine

Any ideas?

Loose ground?

I had a similar issue where I put my car on the dolly, went to restart it 10min. later and nothing.

Does it crank over at all?
