I have A 91 si hatchback with a b16a, anyone every tried those Z10 Radus arms yet? just curious because i would like to get them but just seeing if any of you have any experience with them, and it really doesn't matter what you tried them on, just trying to see what the overall effect of having them installed was. thanx

WAFFLES

Did you read the review of them on the hybrid page?

91sifreak

yeah I was impressed, just seeing if anyone else had any experience with them, know what I mean.

We do have a few EF kits out there. All the customers have been very pleased. Here is a link from a guy using one of the older designs. The new designs are even beefier, and lighter.

Jason is a top contender in power 4 and IDRC quick classes. Often is the fastest honda street car at the east coast races.

how much more effective on a crx are the z10 rods compared to stock rods with urethane bushings? I put some prothanes in and the car takes off much quicker.

Hey z10 geoff, does it work for the type R??

Full-Race Geoff

The kit works quite a bit better than the stock crossmember, for a couple of reasons. First of all, the stock crossmember is very large and bulky and does not allow one to run a large header/downpipe. Secondly, the caster is not adjustable. Finally, even tho the bushings are much stiffer than the stock rubber ones, they are still flexy and nowhere near as stiff as a solid rod end connection.

FWIW, jason (lilbluecrxwilleatyou) had a set of urethane bushings in the car before he put our xmember on. Once he got the xmember on, he had 60' times that were a full 10th better than before.

Yes we do make a kit for the ITR. It is different from the EF kit, however but it is the same kit as the EG/EK/DC.

for info on this kit read the hybrid article at http://hybrid.honda-perf.org

Does the EF kit fit on a DA?

Nope the USDM front member is different than the DA but my JDM EF-8 haas the same member as the DA
Geoff....DO ya have the DA's done yet or are they still on the back burner..?? let us know when you can I still have money burning a hole in my pocket <HINT><HINT>

Full-Race Geoff

The DA kits are all figured out. I will call the shop tomorrow and let you know the details. They should have been finished a few weeks ago, i had everything taken care of. But then i left for school...

Thanks for waiting dave. youre really really cool.

Geoff your Da man

Interesting... I didn't know the EF8 has the same c-member as the DA . Any other parts inter-changeable from the EF to DA? ie. rear-swaybar, strut braces, etc.

JDM_DOHC_SiR

There are only a few parts that can be brought over from and too these cars the strut tower bars will work the rear sway won't work without modification ..also to small and as for the front sway bar it mounts different than any other honda that worked on..

i have been running them since october and road race on them regularly
i do have to do a visual inspection sometime because while racing at Watkins Glen I did hit the curbing hard enough to have my Spoons contact the brakes so i want to see if they are tweaked
howver they work fantastic
and no problems otherwise
i just dont see how there can be any probs

man, are they worth the 500 bucks retail? If it's worth it, then I would buy it, but holy crap, 500 bucks

jg

555r- What differences did you notice? Understeer changes? Braking? etc.

Tbone

Jdm dohc sir, Does this apply to the usdm models or just the jdm ones? When you say same do you mean exactly the same? Will I gain any header clearance by switching to the da version?

JDM_DOHC_SiR

Nope only the Japanese EF-8/9 share the same front member as the DA Integra
Look

91sifreak

So on the USDM 91 Si the kit replaces the whole front crossmember....hmmm, funny I was just thinking about replacing it so I can fit the new header, how much did I hear that thing is 500.00, man i hope it all worth it, cause i want it....

Does the Z10 crossmember use the factory front engine mount on a 2nd gen CRX like the factory crossmember? Are you able to keep the factory splash shields? Is it legal for SCCA solo2 in Street Prepared class?

hvtec93

I have that kit installed on my 93 civic
and it works pretty good not only it improves handling and wheel hop, but the whole fron end feels rock solid now

91sifreak

does it push or pull the front wheels in any direction in the wheel well.

Full-Race Geoff

The EF kit allows one to both "push" and "pull" the wheels. The EG/EK/DC kit only allows you to pull.

Setting up a car properly usually means adding caster by pulling the wheel forward... that is what works the best on a fwd car, so the option of pushing the wheel back is there, but it really isnt a wonderful option.
