If you just converted to obd1 and you have no spark, first thing to check are the 2 solid white wires that go to the dizzy. Switch them and see what happens.

I finally got it figured out, but it sure is a lot more complicated than it used to be.

Those of you with a skunk manifold on a gsr...How does it feel after the change? how is your fuel economy since the change? Also, anyone know what size TB a stock gsr likes most? I've got a 70mm sitting around doing nothing right now...

Has anyone considered the possibility that the Thanksgiving holiday and season are a major contributor to the dip in posts? The competing forums had a brief influx in memberships, but nothing substantial.

Besides, banging on the changeover is getting rather cliche`.

I have no idea, but even before the holiday it was getting pretty slow after the changeover - some people who only come in when they get a notification weren't getting any, and some just couldnt find what they were looking for.

Question gents - I have a chance to pick up a full set of BNIB moldings for my civic, but only the 90-91 are avail, 89 NLA. If I update those I know I'll have to update the front and rear bumpers if I want it to match, but are the moldings the same size wise?

Do they just swap over?

Don't remember saying I was too broke for it. I said I didn't want to remove the intake manifold. You got any answers to my questions?

they swap right over with no problems, I've done it. you will need to change the bumpers like you said but the filler panel in the front will also have to be changed, it has a slight curve that doesn't line up properly when switching from 88-89 to 90-91.
