Thanks matt, so talking with some friends about running e85 and my hp goals not really worth it so im just gonna stick with a moderate build and a easy tune looking for 300 or so whp to tug around in the db1 ^^

 

also is there a way to tell if you have prelude injectors

 

Meh, friends are kinda wrong. The only hold back to running e85 is finding it. If you can get it locally then go for it, you can make more power safely on e85.

 

qft e85 since it is high in ethonal at high boost will help prevent knock, the only hold backs are yeah being able to find it, and that e85 around here is almost just as expensive as normal gas, and tends to get not so good gas mileage with it.

but power wise its def the way to go,

 

quick questions, this a daily driver..? and idk if most people know this but painting aluminum cuts down on its heat dispersement capabilities, and i sure wish i could not run a timing cover. lol. dam Colorado though, rocks and sand and dust and snow and all kinds of bullshit.

but either way man thats hella nice,

 

Head ported, crower 404, dual vs, titanium retainers, weisco pistons, eagle rods, full race t3/04e 57, ram horn mani., sk2 intake, precision 680 cc, LS tranny.
No, I bought this one for $500. Banged up drivers rear quarter and rearend. Motor freshly build but wouldnt run (crowers, dual vs, sk2 intake, hks exhaust, fluidyne rad. ) I put in a fuel pump relay and fired right up. I am on the east coast NC. Yea, I want a lip too.

Thanks, I painted it black mainly to be a little stealthy.I try to find my old science book and quote an experiment, but it told me different. Also there was an article on here about it.

Yes this will be my DD I hope. I have a truck and bike for backups.


Heat and Mass Transfer: A Practical Approach 3rd Edition by Yunus Cengel
Page 28 Table 1-6

Emissivities of some materials at 300K
Anodized Aluminum 0.82
Polished Stainless Steel 0.17
Black Paint 0.98
White Paint 0.90

The higher the emissivity the greater the heat transfer so black paint would result in the greatest heat transfer. The effect either way is minimal.

 

man seems like all the da people are either in pa md or nc lol besides all the cali folks

 

Almost forgot to say that my teg turned 20 years old in may

 

Classic tags in PA?
I got 2 years!

 

You cannot buy pintle caps from the dealer, and really they aren't a part which is easily replaced. The guy who cleaned my injectors said that the pintle caps on Honda injectors are not replaceable, but then when I got mine back he had replaced one of them... You can tell that he had to do some work to replace it; there are tool marks on the metal around where the pintle cap meets the metal body of the injector. You an sort of see this in the second picture.

Injector o-ring part number is: 91301-PM7-003. I recommend buying extras because they are easy to damage during install (especially on aftermarket fuel rails). I keep AT LEAST a full set of these around at ALL times.

 

I miss my old DA

 

Looks like a DA9 to me...

 

try again....

 

You sure must've done a lot of USDM converting on your DA6, then.

Mad USDM, y0!

 

yea it sucks and to get new ones is like 150 a injector from the dealer where did you get yours serviced or is there anywhere i can get replacement injectors cheaper then the dealer if not im gonna have to get 310cc rc or some other sort of after market injectors thats still gonna run me like 400 bucks

 

lol

 

unlike most of the Hondas out there.....Acura in this case puts the DA6 or 9 in the VIN# for the US cars. Would you like a pic of my white one with the vin#. I am not faking the funk buddy. Good try on the call out though I have been doing longer than you think.

 

well if its a usdm what diffrence does the number 9 or 6 matter if they have the same parts

I'm quite happy with the service, however be aware that you can't let the injectors sit for a long period of time w/o use (after his service). There's a paraffin based product he uses and it can clog your injector. I spent over a year gathering parts and slowly building my motor, injector cleaning was one of the early things I did. Came to start up the engine and it wouldn't fire. Took me forever to troubleshoot the problem because I assumed the injectors couldn't be the problem. Turned out the paraffin clogged them since they sat for so long w/o having fuel run thru them. Rich gladly cleaned them again for me free of charge.

If you send yours in you should ask him if he can fix the pintle caps. He initially told me they couldn't be fixed. I picked my 5 best injectors and sent them to him (one had a small hairline crack in the pintle cap) they came back with one cap having been replaced. Not sure if it broke in the process so he fixed it or if he just did it to be nice. But I'm assuming that there would normally be a charge for that extra labor and possibly parts. I'd assume it'd be cheap though.

 

what are the benefits to having historic tags?

 

Just diffrent trim levels of what Honda offered in the motor and in the face lift over the years. Only major thing was that OBO was change to OBD1 along with the front bumper and rear tails and other little nit pick details.

 

....

 

what diffrent motor the da only came with the b18a1 and the b17 and i thought the b17 was in the gsr which was the db1-2 i forget exactly the chassis code for the gsr and the bumper changed from 91-92 and even in 92 it was still a da9 so im still confused as to what was the diffrence i thought the da6 was the jdm version with the b16 motor and one piece head lights but hey i guess i learn something every day lol

 

in pa it dosent have to get inspected if it has classic tags i looked into getting them for my da but its more rules to it like you cant drive over 2500 miles a year i think could be 5000 not sure

 

also i checked into getting rc injectors but the peak and hold honda style injectors only come in 550 cc and up would i be able to use the universal injectors or would i need to get diffrent clips i rather just use my h22 injectors but all the pintile caps are mising and it needs all the groumets and o rings aswell
