How my DAy feels sometimes...

 

Having a hell of a time finding a hood for my 91. I dont want to buy a certi-fit or sorta-fit but i am about too. That blue one in the museum or whatever is perfect.

 

Payne is really old school. Guys a legend around these parts lol he tunes f1 cars now or something.

 

Got my oil pump in today, ordered the PR3 pump because those seem to be the most stable.
Gonna start ripping it apart tonight hopefully.

 

How much did you pay for it matt?

 

 

I'm not sure, ordered it from a local shop. Will let you know when I get it.

 

I honestly doubt the F1 cars bit but I'm glad to hear it's a legit manifold! Too bad it's not too conducive to my rad placement!

 

Nah for real lol ill get some proof brb.

 

Motor is half way apart. Def needed rings!

 

Wait, what?

 

Me, it's time to freshen this thing up!
Doing oil pump and bearings.
Figured while I was at it I should do rings too, they could use a freshening too as they look a bit worn and I wouldn't reuse them.

 

did you use the GSR power steering pump bracket with your motor?

 

^^That first white DB is super fresh!!

Here's a quick shot from today, I need to polish up the one pieces!

i want a da so bad

 

To have the LS pump bolt right up to the GSR head, I used the stock LS lower bracket, and the upper bracket is from a 92-93 GSR (b17a).

 

is there any other way to use power steering? i have a 90 gs and i wanna do a b18c swap but i do not wanna loose my power steering

 

he just showed you how to do it..what more do u need to know, use a LS lower and a vtec upper. bracket, problem solved.

 

boom

 

Those bolts are looking FRESH.

 

Got oil pump, hg, bearings and rings today!
Refresh waiting to happen, hoping it's nice this weekend.

 

The b17a upper bracket, and people say, the b16 upper bracket from the Integra XSi works too. This makes it bolt up like factory stock. Finding one of those isn't trivial.

This is what it looks like with the pump bolted solid to the lower LS bracket, but with a P72 upper (94-01 GSR). There's ~9mm gap.



Some people use washers to fill the gap, then a pry bar to adjust belt tension (because tension bolt doesn't line up).

 

Anyone put a manual EF rack in their car?

 

There's a few threads on g2ic about it and someone who sells a kit to install it also

 

Turbo is shipping out today. It had the wrong compressor wheel, which was heavily damaged, and the wrong turbine wheel, which had a bent shaft. I have now spent more than a new turbo. FUUUUU. Still, pumped to get it back and spool it up!
