Has anyone seen a writeup or know how to get an electric speed sensor conversion in an obd0 91 integra, swapping to the Xsi gauges only fixes the rpm mismatch but retains the cable speed sensor setup.

I'm guessing your talking about from the brake tuck. I dont have any pics at the time but if you look in the wheel well there is like a flat spot. Thats where I drilled mine. I'll take some pics tomorrow sir.

The passenger side is no problem but the drivers side can get tricky. It's double layered inside the car and comes out really really close to the clutch. At least it did on my integra. I had to cut and hammer it to have it clear.

I was thinking of placing it in the same spot as in these pics but when I was staring at the spot it didnt look like it was the same spot inside the car so I started thinking that maybe it was going to go into the frame rail instead of the car.Thats why I kinda wanted to see some pics.

Ok cool so on the passenger side anywhere on that small flat section but does anyone have a pic of the drivers side.I have searched for a while but its pretty hard to find a specific pic like that.Like I said thanks for the help I appreciate it.

Fender well
inside car
You can kinda see in the picture where it comes out near a hump in the metal I had to cut it and hammer it flat. Also it's close as f--ck to the pedal when pushed in.You can always bend it once it's in like I did.

Thanks alot man you saved me from having to search another two hundred threads looking for those pics lol.It looks like its almost in the same spot on both sides where you run into the problem is inside the car.I am running soft lines inside the cabin so that should make it a bit easier for me to get the lines out of the way.

Heres some of my work. All cars are Team Kindred Impulse members btw.
If you would like to see more go here. http://www.facebook.com/pages/ODB-We...23852164324357
This car was my first shave. I did it a few years ago now and the car has come a long way. The wire and brake tuck was done by John Moore of Driveway performance and the paint was done by Christian Angeles of Auto Technics.
This one was tons of fun. It was built and worked on by a team of people to get it where it is. I myself spent many hours welding and sanding.
J swap EG. I did all the welding work in the bay on this one. The body work and paint was done by Jason Gulliet and Jon VanWey of Rogue Auto Werks.
A more recent project that Im finishing up now. I shaved the bay, did the brake and wire tuck on this one. I will also be building a turbo kit for the car as well.

quick question, I'm a first timer...
I bought the fuse box plug posted on the first page, the sf4-003 one. I went to put it on my ej1 and it's a little big/fits like crap. is this normal?
Also where can I place the grounds where they are not visible

Probably the only grounds you can talk about would be my guess. The one from tranny to chassis and the other from valve cover to chassis.
Move it to the back of the valve cover and I grounded it to the shock tower. The other I just made a nice one for and shortened it up.

I have searched and haven't come up with a definitive answer. So I am wondering is it possible to flip the Brake Booster with out draining the system of brake fluid?
Re: ♠ Shaved, Tucked, Customized Engine Bays - Pics, Theory, Discussion ♠
^ the cylinder should not leak at all if the seals are good, just unbolt the booster and pull back the cylinder carefully/slowly enough to get the booster out
Hmmm, so I payed 8 dollars for something to not fit right? smh
yeah the engine grounds my bad...thanks guys

I just unbolted the master cylinder and pulled it back towards the front of the car with the lines still attached just enough to take the booster out and rotate it. Then just bolt the mc back up. The lines will bend a little, but will be o.k. as long as you don't kink them.

^Thanks for the information. Will be working on this with the project car soon.
Also regarding the bleeding I have bleed the system a couple times from replacing the prop valve and rear disc swap.
