98-01 jdm type r in a 99 civic si


-finished last sunday
-got the jdm 5zigen and a high flow cat on besides the o2 sensor on the cat.
-the cel is on because of the o2 vtec also not cracking probably because of CEl
-took it out on the highway...fourth gear at 7000 rpm, the car just shuts off.. all i saw at the moment was rpm cuting off at 7000k...pulled over the the road ( i was able to take it to 8500 in second gear with vtec not working)
-now the motor is not throwing any spark on the sparkplugs...

what could have this caused it to die and not throw a spark?

i took the coil to napa and autozone for test.. but they told me something about the output or input being low voltage... both places said the same thing.. could that be it??

 

You probably hit a rev limit to start then the coil said F U on its own. If its to low its bad.

 

step 1.) install your oxygen sensor properly

step 2.) install new coil because you fried yours trying to run the **** out of your car when it was in limp mode.

step 3.) have her open the box.

step 4.) learn your lesson about fixing obvious codes before you beat the **** out of your new swap.

 

i realized i was beating the **** out of my car...both of you thank you so much for making me realize... this is a good lesson, this type is not passing 3k without cel off. should i change the entire distributor? it seems to be old... there is soem sort of dust inside it..i bougtht this motor from hmotors..15-20k avg miles.. i dont get why would dizzy have dust inside and have rusted screws that hold the two wires.. output and input i gues.. but inside and the screws are rusted.. maybe i need to call steve at hmo?


Luserkid: it felt like i hit a rev limit, and *** soon as it hit the rev limit and rpm started going down it cut the engine off.. i believei felt the jerk of my car hiting rev limit.. but what confuses me is that i took it to 8500k before.. and this was 7 .. unlessi was really tired and did not pay close attention...

 

Sorry rev limit was the wrong word. Governer was what you hit (120mph). I dont think Steve is going to warrenty it since you are already beating on it.

 

true.. ill get a coil tonite and see what happens... the thing is that i didnt hit 120 at all i was somewhere around 100.. 7k rpm.. again i might have totaly spaced out and not realized i was going through 120 and way passed 7k... i know for sure you have to be in fourth redlining to be at 120

 

distributor king on ebay. Good dizzy's for a great price.

 

is that dust on the inside like a brownish red.. if it is then you need a new dizzy.. means your bearings are bad and I bet if you investigate more you'll find some metal shavings.. samething happened to me except it was on my crx and it cost me 300 bucks and two weeks to get it.. it was some wierd off the wall dizzy that is only made from a place in PA

 

the dizzy also looks like it has 200k miles not averaging 15-20 ... well this is steves bull ****.. i feel like i got riped off badly.. five grand for the motor... and i end up getin a dizzy that looks 100 years old with **** load of dust..particles inside.. thats fucked up...never in my life will i ever buy anything from HMOTORSONLINE.COM thats for ******* sure...

 

I just ordered a motor from steve, looks fine, but I didn't take the dizzy cap off yet. call them before you start complaining

what code # are you getting, and what ecu are you running??

 

i not gonna call noone no more.. whats he gonan tell me?? i dont want his new dizzy.. i dont want nuthin.. ill spend another 1000 bucks to get this motor the way it should be...... other ppl said their motors are excellent.. my jdm type r 98 spec was not that way.. distributor cap was cracked when motor arrived... by the way u have to open ur dizzy.. and change the rotor ... u know what happend to me?? tsomebody over there took the screw off that holds the rotor.. i really didnt read **** on their site .. that rotor needs to be changed.. but they took the screw off.. the rotor was loose.. could have shatered everythign inside the rotor.. its just stupid and gay thats all i got to say i paid large $4500 for that motor.. the dizzy looks very old like i said.. ALSO ... the primary and secondary screws and the wholes are so rusted.. i just dont know what to say.. hmo.. if ur reading this im really sorry but im frustrated.. i did beat the **** out of my motor while im limp mode but that dizzy is fucked up..

 

dont ever belive the millage claims any one gives no matter how big a company i meen how many cars from 98 do you see with under 50k miles lol especialy since most of these are from a junkyard arent they?

 

yeah.. im with u on that aarontrini85.. i acutlay dont believe that htis motor is averaging 15-20 k... but what can i do... i will say one thing though.. the engine works and runs like SEIKO ... but just the lil **** like dizzy and all that is just fucked up ... grrrrr

 

your a dumbass, the dizzy should have HMO stamped on it, send it back to steve and tell him look at he piece of **** you gave me and I'm sure he'll do something about it

your supposed to change every expendable item on the motor, which is why your complaing right now

did you change the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, plugs, wires etc.

 

expletive it... i already bought a brand new dizzy...like i said im done with hmo.. they said change the expandable.. but didnt say hey your going to get a dizzy with cracked cap.. mm and also we opened ur dizzy and removed the screw from the rotor.. my ******* dizzy shouldhnt have been opened!... i dont want to deal with them no more.. i gave $4500 fare and square i expect **** fare and square...they lost one fare and square customer along with all my friends

 

you know.. i really have not seen HMO stamped anywhere on the DIZZY.. illl look again.. guaranteed i havent seen one.. because i looked all over to get the model of my dizzy .. like TD-87U or TD-84U.. have not seen HMO anywhere on it
