Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
lol. i'm close to giving up on it. i think the pressure valve switch is bad, but IDK. I'm going to replace it since I know the thermostat switch is working.
Or go old skool and toggle up a DIY switch for the pressure valve wire since that's the only thing that's been working so far.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
thank you. I love it so far. Definitely an upgrade over the dc 4-2-1. My dc also apparently had a crack in it causing what I thought was just a valve tick. I didn't have the flex pipe before, so I'm sure that's what caused it. Didn't want the same thing to happen to this header.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
My upper radiator hose doesnt let the radiator move at all. It can move but not much. Also, my radiator sits in a cradle that I welded in a long time ago. Basically cut an inch or so out of the lower support and welded a piece of angle bracket in it's place.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I forget what the exact name of the company is, redline somethin or other. They make hood dampers for ef's and its 60 bucks shipped.
Okay guys, I did a b16 swap cuz I blew up my ls-vtec. And in the process, I noticed my clutch was pretty beat. So my buddy offered to trade the ls v bottom end for his 4puck unsprung act clutch. Well we bolted it up and when we tried to put the trans on the spline was to big. The ys1 was the only cable trans to have a bigger imput shaft correct? My gear ratios don't seem like its a ys1. So did any othe cable trans come with the bigger imput shaft?

88-91 b-series input shaft is smaller then 92+ b-series input shafts. regardless if the trans is cable or hydro if it is 92+ it uses the larger input shaft.
Happy Easter!

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
yes. but there is a short geared YS1 and a long geared YS1. My old Integra ('93 LS) had a YS1, but my buddy's DB ('93 GSR) also has a YS1. They have the same input shafts, but not the same gearing.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
This is my 2nd time putting kayak's on the crx. It's the least likely vehicle to see at a boat loading dock that's for sure.
looks like i have a bulb out.
Yes. They're as long as the crx.
I'm not a 'avid' kayaker, but it's another one of my many hobbies.
