You have a part number on the Mil Spec Plug? Also do they have a solder on type, i don't need to pay extra for some pins and special tool to make it all work. i figure silver solder, and it's done.

On a B series engine, are people extending the wires for the plug on the dizzy all the way back to the inside of the car, or are they just hiding it somewhere? That is a pretty big plug. Just wondering what people are doing with their tucks.

Maybe I missed it...
But I'm looking to retain my P/S rack without P/S for the quicker ratio. How do I do that without the rack wearing down super fast. Pics are great

leave some fluid in it.

Who cares they are only like $200 and it will take years to wear out.

There are plenty of DIY's floating around out there try searching for one.

Anybody have an obd2 LS integra harness laying around? I'm hoping to find some pics of the shock tower plugs. Having some issues with my car not getting any fuel, pump comes on and everything else seems to be working fine. Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Some people use the clutch reservoir others don't. I suppose the pro would be having power steering fluid aways. Would it be fine without it? How do people run the breather set up? Is that necessary?

Hey whats up guys....It's been a while since I've been on HT. But I'm looking to redo my engine bay. I have cracks on some of the seams and I have holes on the strut tower from the control arms hitting them. I was just looking to raise the tower. Has anybody done this and if so could you give me some tips and pics? Also whats the best stuff for shaving seams that won't crack? thanks. it's been about 3yrs since i shaved and tucked my bay. This thread has come a long ways. Keep up the good work.

How do you flip a brake master in a dc? just remove the two nuts holding it to the firewall and spin?

I dont feel like sorting through all these pages so does anyone know the part number for the drivers side harness plug for a dc integra?

It's actually the brake booster that get's flipped...not the master cylinder. There are four nuts on the back side of the booster behind the firewall under the dash.

So I got my abs module out this past weekend, but now I have a whole cluster **** of wiring. What would you guys do to delete it? Just cut the wiring or depin it all. It seems all run into the cabin. Which leads me to my next question(s). How are you all hiding the passenger side? Just running it all through the frame rail like the driver side aux harness? I dont see any engine components that tie into it. And to get that harness out, do I need to take out my hvac system?

Again, forgive me. I'm a noob to wiring, and being creative all that lol

Nice.. a Long Island build. good luck man. My advice, REMOVE EVERYTHING! don't short cut and try to work around things. Go BIG or just keep it simple. First tuck? hard to tell with your 07' date and sub 100 posts! hahaa either way man, Im more familiar with EF's but Ill try and offer advice as I can, cant be too far away from you on this little Island!

Has anyone converted a cable VSS to an electric to remove the PS fluid lines from it and clean up the bay more? Does the gauge cluster need to be swapped out too? and what vehicle would i reference for a VSS or does it just need to match OBD version and tranny style.

I installed a VSS in a friend's car so he could run a JDM CR-X cluster. A cable cluster has the vss built in so I would imagine you would need a non-cable cluster. You *may* be able to pin the VSS directly to the cluster and bypass the cable portion but I imagine that might be more work than you would like.

What color is this? I've been trying to find something close to this to powdercoat my valve cover/charge piping/random bits and this is VERY close to what I want.

your best chance is to print that photo and take it in to get the color matched up. Depending on who photoshopped it... the color changes.... most the time the color your seeing on the computer isnt what the car looks like in person.

i know atleast with my car its that way. Adjusting the exposure in photoshop i can change the brightness of my paint.
