got the b20 dialed in
Well, after a week of wrenching, cleaning, chasing down parts, and fighting engine bay fires, i finally got my '96 jdm b20 fired up in my '90 teg. It definately pulls better in the low/mid end and in the top end i don't know yet, 'cause i don't have the fuel reg installed yet and i dont wanna lean it out. It really feels like it wants to take off now from the roll.
I even waited at the gas station at the edge of town for some unsuspecting motorist so i could see how well it pulls on the highway. It was a ricer Volvo with no interest in my aggressive driving (good); it pulled by much nicer with the 2.0L. I know that using my choker '90 IM and full stock exhaust is hurting the performance, but one thing at a time.

Re: got the b20 dialed in (tinkerbell)
oh ya, i had forgotten about the LCA grief since the fire haha.
the thing works perfect. The engine light did come on once but dissapeared after i restarted and i'm sure it was that o2 sensor again. Only quirk was the idle not falling back to normal after revving it "in gear." It would hover at 2000 or slowly drop back after the first coulple time i went to roll out wit it. It seemed to be some plunger needle thing that is attached to my "old style" throttle body that connects teh plunger to the throttle spring loop getup and it has a vacuum tube going to the intake tube.
I'm not sure what it does exactly, but it was holding my throttle open , so ik greased it up and worked it in (maybe fire heat damage?) and it didn't act up at all during my drive
.
Is it tomorrow morning yet? I want to take my car out for a rip. It amazing how peoples' jaw drops when you tell them you're putting a crv motor in your car. They think your crazy - well i've got somthing to show them...hehe

ps i've got the whole swap on film (minus the fire), so i'm gonna make a nifty website for it.
