hey port..i was thinkin about that the other day. i have an LX automatic. comes with that manifold that has the header on there. so if i add a header and then get a highflow cat and add it on to my exhaust on the bottom of the car i will be ok??

Yes. A P72 ECU. Make sure to check with your ref first. If he wants to see the butterfly vaccuum resevoir along with intake manifold, you will need to get a GSR head. I've heard of people passing without it, it all depends on your ref. The best way to go is to buy a complete longblock with ECU from a engine supplier. Don't go piecing it together from parts on H-T, it will end up costing more and be less reliable. Save up and buy the complete longblock from a running car or guaranteed to start engine.

well in that case i'll try to get a gsr long block from the junkyards since i can get a discount there,if not i'll just look for one on craigslist.i kind of got off track so what type of catalytic converter do i need to use

If it still passes the sniffer. Ca has the toughest emissions requirements, in most other places it is acceptable. Understand that with high flow comes less catalyst material, and less surface area for the chemical reactions to take place. So, a high flow cat is less effective at cleaning emissions than a standard cat, but it is still a cat. If your car passes no problem, you can probably get away with it. If your car barely passes smog a high flow cat will make it even harder to pass. The further away from the engine the cat is, the longer it takes to warm up to operating temperature and the car pollutes more during this warmup period. Cat's want to be hot, so don't go too far from the head.

A three way cat. I used a Magnaflow and I passed easy.

Hmmm... almost right... well, everything's right, but my car is Vtec.
it's a 99 1.5L Lsi vtec. apart from that, you got it right. I replaced the exhaust manifold/cat with a japspeed (U.k.) exhaust manifold. the mechanic told me there was no chance of fitting it without losing the oem cat...
one of the things I always liked about this thread is that people help each other, like a family... now it feels like I'm part of the family! thanks
peace

You're welcome.

is there like a certain year or make that cars come with that type of cat ,im just asking since a friend from school gets cars from cash for clunkers and he said i can have a cat i just need to know what cars come with it so he can take one

Onsite EJ8

so youre trying to do your car like ports nothing too extreme?

Bigger cars have bigger motors and spew out more emissions, they require more catalyst material. So, no. You need to get a cat that is for a 1.8. It is illegal to sell used cats, a brand new 3-way cat for a gsr costs around $150. A 2-way cat for the same engine but older than 99 costs about $75. The newer ULEV engines require the 3-way cat, older 98- motors usually are LEV 2-way cats.

well im getting it for free but i see your point and plus its not as expensive as thought, would it matter if i have a after market piping or do i need to have the stock piping on also were would be a good place to put the cat on since the headers i have on are longer than stock ones

portfl0w

iTrader: (1)

Piping doesn't matter so long as it isn't of a diameter or condition that affects your emissions.

Onsite EJ8

well now i need to figure out how to have the cat on when using stock headers and aftermarket ones

hey port do you know were i can buy the o ring for the oil breather chamber?ive tried autozone but they dont know what im talking about(the little black box thats under the intake manifold)

portfl0w

iTrader: (1)

Try the dealer. If that doesn't work, get a o-ring that is similar.

Onsite EJ8

will any honda dealer order the part or just a few i dont know because i havent bought anything from the dealer

I think 15x8 = more practical than a 16x8. I myself like 16's. But 15x8 is best since you are seeking the low offset stance. You will have to increase camber in the offset range of 15 - 0.

ehhh, I'm not sure if 15x8 would be the best...then you'll be dealing with some meaty tires and they doesn't always look the best when you're doing low offset. Maybe it's just me, I like a bit of stretched tires with low offset wheels...I think it looks better than a completely flush tire, not to mention it'll help with rubbing on the fenders.

From what i've seen 16x8 +20 is a good offset for our sedans to be pretty close to flush...you might need a camber kit in the back.

this is 15x7 with a 0 offset, with Correct tire size, IMHO



has 165/45/15...195/50/15 would be way too big of a tire, IMHO.

16x8 will rub no matter what the offset is under full steering or U-turns. 16x7 is the safest size to run. Low offset can be dangerous if the body of the car impedes the rotation of the wheels.

16x8 with 205/40/16 is fine only reason my car rubs a little cause its slammed
