HOws it going people, just got me my first si. Runs clean but plugs indicate its running lean. No rpm play with carb cleaner around the manifold, any ideas? And does any one have a d16 iac? i need one mine is not working properly. Oh and cleaning up the engine bay(battery relocation, emission ect.) Any advise and tips would greatly be appreciated
thanks!

 

If the car is running fine id suggest changing the fuel filter and get an injector cleaner of some sort, I prefer the Lucas stuff from autozone. While your there grab some simple green, it will do wonders for dirty engine bays. You can either pull out your iacv and clean it with carb/brake cleaner or get one from the jy but 60% of the time it works everytime after a good cleaning. As far as battery relocation goes I have no suggestions since I don't believe in relocating them unless it's serves a purpose. Emissions? Don't have em so no input..

 

^Agreed. Switch out that fuel filter (you might want to do the full tune-up if you don't know when the last one was done), and run something through for the fuel injectors. I've never had any trouble with Sea Foam, but alot of guys hate it, so look it up first.

 

thanks projEKtjokes will change the fuel filter. and am going to spend a while cleaning and removing all emission parts. okay will look it up

 

will do that full tune up StreetsideStig, and actually doing a head gasket change as well. Just to make sure it will last me a while, the D15b that is. I actually really want to try that sea foam, seen it on youtube and really want to clean that combustion camber for that carbon build up. Any tips on emission removal? Ill look it up but will make it easy if you know it on top of your head lol

Cheers and im off to remove my head to take it to the machine shop tomorrow morning....
BUT first its off to the store to get a case to help me with the job

 

need this clutter fixed!


4th day since i got and already i have her topless

So this is where im at now. Almost got the battery hooked up and jut need to run a couple of more wires and then install the timing belt/tensioner. after that one final valve lash and in goes all the new fluids. hope she starts right up!

 

Looks good man! What you planning on doing to it? boost?

 

For the next year.. at least that if i can wait, just this because it my daily driver. I should of took a pick of it last saturday when i got so everyone could see the MAJOR difference. I was just gonna do head gasket but one thing lead to another and here i am. Maybe in the future and b18c or b20 hybrid. I was looking for an hf but drove this and thought might as well have a lil fun while saving gas so i got it. lol

 

Oh dang, Nice nice.. i feel ya. haha big time gas saver. How much did you get it for and is that still the D16a6 in it? I love how the engine bay came out by the way!

 

Is the motor the jdm d15b vtec? n it came out real nice by the way..

 

what did you use to clean the bay ? came out amazing.. i thought you painted it... or did you ?

 

Yeah thanks bro im loving it too. Nah its a D15b. I sold my rx7 for a crx hf but ended up with this bad boy

 

Some foam cleaner from autozone... but it sucked!! I had to do bring out the purple power and do it by hand. And yeah i painted it, rattle can because low on funds for a real paint job. It will get one though in the future for sure

 

Ahh so they did a swap like they did exactly to my si or was that factory?

 

it was off a jdm engine. Pulls reall good with the light flywheel and stage 3 clutch it has. Damm and i didnt finish tonight so off to get drunk and try again tomorrow

 

Dang! BA!! Lol better luck tomorrow. Post more pictures bro. I wanna see the work on this rex.

 

Lookin good man goog luck tomorrow.

 

Nice progress on this one.. Bet you're enjoying the improvements..

 

looks good dude you put some work in to that

 

Thanks a lot guys! f yeah im enjoying the progress!!! My first wire tuck and so far so good, both my head lights work and so do my turn signals. ahh that made my day. Ill take more pix of the inside and the body. i need new springs the ones i have were heated up and kinda rides like ****. I'm hung over but really want to drive it tonight

 

Looks good! I would have recommended the Purple Power up front. that stuff is great for cutting grease and dirt! Use a pressure washer after spraying and a little scrubbing for some dynamite results.

I hear the D16's make great turbo engines. Noticed you have a V-tec head... not stock on EF series engines. Or so I have read and heard. I thought of making the swap on my ZC. I did make a purchase on a D16A8 just haven't made the swap yet. Specs show the A8 to be 20 HP over the SOHC ZC. I am curious if it will actually do better than the ZC with all the tricks it has. Everyone that has driven it says it is fast and fun.

Thumbs up on the work dood! looking good!

 

ima look into that, it sounds interesting. This lil d15b is fun though. Im good with it for now. And thanks dude. I finally got her started and drove it around tonight. Needs the intake and the front end put back together. and i think its off a tooth on my timing... ima do it in a bit but no more starting it tonight. shes to loud!! i need a cat and get rid of that test pipe.

 

You should of video'd that bro

 

**** i know right. But that was the last thing on my mind. I just wanted to start it and drive italready. And i did! Im so happy to see my first tuck actually work so smoothly bro
