I had a bad electrical issue and it sat in the Florida sun for 8 months.

 

I also ordered my 4" exhaust parts today along with the manifold.

Some of the parts from honda, along with the Tial 44 W/G and Tial 50 BOV

 

what front knuckles are you using with those legend calipers? I didn't think legend calipers bolted to ef/da knuckles

 

Im using SI knuckles with 23T caliper brackets milled down

 

Looking good Kyle, if you need a hand holla at me bro.

 

What B series motor were you running in the first pics, Nice car looks like its gonna be a beast when done

 

It was a first Gen B16. Thanks

 

Definitely keep updating. I never get tired of seeing restoration projects on CRX's.

 

I had big plans for her. I was gonna do a RHD drive conversion, but I need alot parts just to get her running and don't have alot of money.

 

noice!

Well UPS dropped off my 4" straight pipe today. I realized the system is going to be heavy, should have gone with aluminum, Ohwell

 

Its all good dude, just make the car faster.

 

Working on it lol. I wont be doing anything if I cant get this mount issue resolved. Using a hydro trans the mechanical linkage is not strong enough. So I'm going to use the cable to hydraulic reservoir bracket setup. The issue is nobody make the conversion setup with out the mechanical linkage for the clutch.

 

Well I just noticed that my stupid *** welded up the hole for the throttle linkage. It seems like this whole project goes to 1 step fwd and 2 steps backwards.

 

Fixed the hole I welded up today. But like everything else something else happens.

Discovered this today....


Anybody know what would cause this? Its on all the exhaust lobes, and one knick on a few of the intake lobes. A guy at auto zone suggested detonation. It did burn 2 intake valves

 

I hear you when it comes to one step forward two steps back.Keep on goin man it's coming along well.

 

wow, at least you didn't give up on the car. Looks like it will be a cool build.

 

Nice Good luck with your build man..

 

Pitting like that on the cam lobes is not caused by detonation. That pitting is likely due either to poor materials used or poor finishing by the camshaft manufacturer. Honda had a similar problem with K20A3 intake and K24A1/K24A4 exhaust cam lobes pitting. Some speculate that it's an oiling issue due to the lower film/shear strength of the 5W-20 oil specified for those engines, but based on the wear patterns that I've seen, I don't buy it.

 

The place where I dropped my head off said it could have been an oil issue or material issue. Thanks for the info.

 

Anybody know anything about the Bisi-moto 3.6 Cam? Im thinking about buying it.
