Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
I did the engine bay the same way by just taping things up instead of taking everything out. Looks good man

Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
wired up the knock sensor and o2 sensor tonight.
it took me 6 different alternator belts but i finally cleared the frame rail. theres probably a few millimeters between the alternator pulley and the frame rail. i have about 1/4" on the tensioner that i could pull the alternator closer to the engine. http://i515.photobucket.com/albums/t...psaa60bd63.jpg grinded off the rust and painted my headlights flat black http://i515.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps99e38360.jpg |
Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49

Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
It looks real good so far!

Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
What color is that yellow? Looks similar to the E36 M3, Dakar Yellow!

Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
the engine bay looks brighter cause its new paint and the exterior is kinda faded

Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
tried to start the car up yesterday and it wasnt getting fuel to the engine. i never hear my fuel pump prime when i turn the key either.

Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
Check your grounds, especially near the thermostat. Also check the main relay. ECU throwing any codes?

Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
car is running and driveable. it idles really low and surges and will eventually die if i dont feather the gas. i was able to drive it on the trailer though. just moved to ft worth yesterday. hoping i can get it running right so i can start cruising it.

Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
this is what i have been working on lately. some standup seller here on hondatech sold me this "mint uncut" harness and this is what i found once i opened it up. this wasnt all of his "amazing" work either. im assuming this is why i could never get my car running right. also, he used different color wires running to sensors so im positive i didnt have the right plugs in the right sensors. i spent probably around 10 hours fixing all his fk-ups

Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
time for a build thread update.
havent had much time to work on it in the last 2 months cause i was busy with school. ive now graduated and dont start my new job until the end of january so i pulled it out of storage yesterday and began to get it street legal again. got my 91 gauge cluster conversion completed and all working properly. i got my front corner lamps and turn signals wired up properly and they are all working again. i need to raise the front coilovers about an inch cause its way too slammed in the front. the crank pulley hits the radius rod when i go over dips in the road thru a turn. then i need to get an alignment(dont know what specs to tell them.) i need to take it to an exhaust shop to have them modify my cat to fit my stock header and tanabe exhaust. i need to put my wiper motor back in and get those working again. i believe thats all i have left to do so i can pass inspection and get my car tagged and street legal. also forgot to mention that i scrapped the ebay obd0-1 conversion jumper and bought a rywire obd0-1 conversion. and i also bought a set of 15x7 +45 silver regamasters for my graduation present to myself. cant decide if i want to do them matte black or just put them on as is. these wheels are ridiculously light at 9 lbs a piece. big thanks to vanrij for helping me locate a ton of parts in the last few months! i should have taken pictures after i got my front end put back together but it freezing cold and i was really hungry. just realized i need to loom up some more wires from my obd1 conversion near the firewall. https://i515.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5vma6kva.jpg https://i515.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5zjefvqe.jpg still like this engine shot from the summer. at this point i didnt know how much work still needed to be done lol https://i515.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3647407a.jpg |
Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
looking good already man:thumbup:
|
Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
Although matte black would look really good, I would leave them the original finish. That's just me though.

Re: Trent89's CRX Si B20 Y49
havent updated in a while. car is running great. switched out the front springs to 550 lb. car rides a lot better and the crank pulley is not hitting the radius rod when i hit big bumps anymore. just been enjoying it the way it is but im getting an itch for boost. here are some recent pics from a cruise a couple weeks ago.
