Hello guys,
im new here. i just got my ef civic last weekend. It has a b18 A1 out of a 93integra. Its needs a new timing belt. and it idle's really low. for the idle i just messed with the idle screw, but as for the belt, when we go to change it is there anything else that needs to be replaced at the time

thanks guys

 

depends on how much money you wanna spend...if you want you can put in a new water pump and tensioner pulley (i usually just change the spring).if its your first time make sure to pay extra attention to the base/cam timing when putting the belt back on to make sure everything is at TDC.

 

thanks,as for the pump is that somthing you Absolutley have to do ? and would it just be easier to have a shop do it ?

no its not absolutely necessary...but the water pump is one of those parts that you never know when its gonna go...if your not going to do the work yourself might as well have a shop do it while the Tbelt is off and they wont charge you for extra labor...if i were you though id get myself a shop manual and read the replacment process a couple times...its actually very easy if you have common sense...
but if your on a budget or dont plan on keepin the car/motor very long then its not really necessary if its lookin good right now...
where are you from? i can get the parts pretty cheap through the dealership from the shop

 

i live in seattle, hmmm i think ill just have have the shop do them bouth. im new to the honda motors, so i dont want to screw anything up.

 

dude its so simple...im telling you invest in a 20 dollar shop manual or download them from the site in the FAQ sticky...pretty much any newbie type questions you have will be answered in there...if after you buy a manual you still decide that its over your head, then take it to a shop...
just remembered you got a dual cam...ur gonna want the shop manual for your car model as well as one for a da integra...
trust me its easy and can be done with basic tools...well the crank pulley bolt can be stubborn sometimes but thats probably the only frustrating thing you will run into
nice hatch BTW

 

thanks alot man ill pick up the manual and see what i can do

 

no prob...welcome to ht and good luck with your car

 

Cool hatch.

 

thanks, i want to be able to post in the A/C forum lol join the squad

 

clean hatch!got any more pic?

 

yup looks real clean with the shaved moldings...shoulds shaved the door handles at the same time...that would look sick

 

sexy

 

real nice hatch....i have shaved moldings too...everyone tells me my car looks nasty but your car inspired me to keep mine shaved

 

just started to tear out the back seats. and paint it. i should have pics sooon

 

Water pump and tensioner. Maybe even the motor mount if it needs to be replaced since you're going to remove it anyway.

 

yea, and now i have been talking to a friend of mine. and he says that even tho the belt hasn't snapped yet, it could have skipped a tooth. and bent a valve lol GSR head FTW !

 

and can you guys telll me how long you stay a trial member ?

 

nice lookin hatch

 

make sure you can get that crank pully bolt off.

 

thanks alot guys
