hey im having a little problem im doing the mpfi swap and i was wondering if i need the si throttle cable or can i still use my dx one?

 

I believe you need the si unit.

 

you should be able to use the dx cable, the ends should be the same... it's just freakin long, so your engine bay will look cluttered.

 

ok cool thanks for the help. Is the hf throttle cable the same as the si one? Because my friend has one laying around his house.

 

Count me in on the squad. My daily driven beater is an 89 DX 4 door. I bought it as an automatic DPFI car that wasn't running with 211,xxx miles for $100. Over a weekend, I did an OBD0-OBD1, DPFI to MPFI, auto to manual conversion. The swap consists of a Z6, CRX Si tranny, and a P28. I swapped in an 89 CRX Si cluster (for the tach). I drive this car about 150 miles per week and get high 30s to low 40s for my MPG. I love the $100 Wonder!! My Element and CRX get to stay in the garage thanks to the Wonder.

Here's a pic of what it looks like today:





So, am I in?

 

I saw that car (and pics ) a few years ago. You can be in if you like.

Just how the hell you get that much milage though... I'm getting maybe 25mpg from my Z6 in my SI.

 

VTEC is fuel efficient if your not always on redline

I vote the silver one in

Let's just say, my wife calls my driving style in this car "Granny-ish". I don't think this swap has ever seen VTEC. That's not the purpose of this car for me. That's why the rust and crappy paint don't bother me either. I've got less than $500 total in the car including the fluids and misc. items for the swap and replacing the brakes on all four corners. I like to think of it as my "no liability" car.

 

dx cable does work.. you have to loop it around the motor mount then to the throttle.seen it done and thats what i did with mine. but an si would look better.

I think 4g4d is talking about the piece that you don't have their in your pic. he's talking about the clear front piece to be put in place on the oem's housing, hence a more clear view rather than what is on the OEM's glass covering..

Is this what your talking about 4G4D????

I'll triple that: B18apwr

<FONT SIZE="4">OK on another note, .I'm beginning to hear hella noise coming from inside my valve cover. Does this mean I need to replace valves?? or just readjust the valve lash? I've adjusted once before on my old hatch I used to have and it seemed to help....but still had the noise</FONT>

 

any chance for a sound file...?

Might as well try adjusting it if you have the time...

^^^ That is sooo hard - what size rims and tires? Slam it with some fender flares.

 

any chance you guys go room for one more member?

 

nice and clean

 

yes.

 

where do you guys buy your fog lights?
also do you think the ef9 tail lights will fit with our sedans?

 

Some more interest from EFCS

imprtstrtracer

 

I would really rather have people be able to post on both sites. At least half the people in the squad dont talk on here at all.

 

So should we shun our EFCS members?

JamesV - No the tails will not fit. My buddy has some JDM ones for a sedan if you are interested PM me.

EFSS is on h-t with a 2nd home on EFCS. You started this thing here and this is its primary home. If a person cant post here I dont know why they should be in the squad. It isnt very hard to sign up...

We dont have people posting on here wanting to join EFCS I cant see why it should be the other way around.

 

Noted, lets take this to PMs
