I bought this vehicle for 2k here is how it sat then...



Tein springs with KYBs in the front
Stock Shocks With No Name adjustable springs in the rear
Acura Integra GSR 6 spoke rims
No Name front UCA
No Name rear LCA
No Name Tow Hook
B18C5 bottom end
B16A1 head
Full Intake and exhaust
MSD Ignition
Random strut bars and braces
Walbro 225 lbh/hr fuel pump

I could not get the car running right for the life of me. I spent hours digging through the wiring so much time that while I was doing the wiring my friends finished installing the suspension parts ad brakes:



K Sport coil overs
K Sport LCAs
Drivers wheel cylinder
Drivers brake line
Stainless steel brake lines
Cleaned up lighting wire tuck
New hood cable
Fluid dampener



After hours and hours I finally gave in said screw it and decided to take it to King Motorsport's. What they found can only be described as unbelievable. Was wired from dual to multi point and then back via the jumper harness, the brake light was wired into the distributor, and there were OBD1 injectors with no resistor box. This was after I fixed all the obvious things wrong with the car. Funny part this car did run when I picked it up, just not well.

Car was finished on Thursday, so I decided to get it back to my shop to wrap up everything else. On the way back I decided to stop for gas and shut the car off. After filling I turned it over and CLICK CLICK CLICK. I think it was a bad ground now, but this lead to a fantastic pop start.

The car is now safe in my garage waiting for the plethera of parts waiting for it. The parts coming or yet to be installed are:

Full Race traction bar (Got theirs because its stout and they keep it in stock)
Braille racing battery and bracket
Type R 1" master cylinder
Denso Iridium plugs
Moroso 6.5qt oil pan
Moroso Oil pan pickup
Moroso oil pan studs
Gates Racing belt
Secondary timing belt tensioner
Skunk2 Fuel rail
Lower alternator bolt (Yep wasn't installed also was missing traction arm bolt)
Timing cover bolts
Rear toe arm install
Castrol K&N oil change



In the next month i will demonstrate the following:
Traction bar install
Timing belt install
Fuel rail install
Rear disc conversion using Scarebird kit
Battery relocation
Moroso oil pan install
Lexan window production and install
Rear seat delete
And more... Much More!

 

Nice pictures!! ��

 

lol sorry.

 

Try using photobucket to upload pics.

 

Will do. Question how did everyone mount their OBD1 ECU's in their EFs?

I have some clean up to do. Thinking of welding new studs in. Also last night while trying to develop a game plan 2 wires in my jumper harness fell out.

 

I started working today with no heat in the garage and it was 43F, which gets a bit cool after a while. Here is what I started with...



I began by what i called "***** the Tuck." I began to pull and separate the wiring onto mini harnesses, lighting, HVAC, Fuse panel, etc.

This involved the removal of lots of nasty tape and loom. I will be rewrapping and putting loom around all of these again. The wiring is still haggard and will be fixed more extensively in the future. The first autocross event is early April. I made my way through most of the wiring just had two questions.

What are these two wires?



They were tied amongst the lighting wire tuck along the fender.

Second question, Is the order of these three wires correct? (Red, Black, White; Top to Bottom)



I was trying my best to memorize them, but got distracted by an outstanding mess.

And a few more pics!



Just messy can't get over it.



Found a Vtec plug in the car that was a little win for me.



Fuse panel sort of buttoned up. It will stay here probably for the duration of the AutoX season.



Im getting there almost too cold to continue, can't feel toes any more.



Close up shot of the ECU mounted and temporarily tied.

After all of this is think I'm going to pull the HVAC out. Garbage didn't work when I got it and IDK if I feel like putting it all back in.

 

Kudos to you! I cant work in the cold.

 

anymore updates?

 

Too cold. I will work a bit more tomorrow, I will have help as well. Should look like this:

Finish wiring
Pull all suspension (Getting rid of fruit loops colors)
Switching springs from front to rear and vice versa
Strip interior
Reinstall dash

Also ordering tomorrow:
Trailing arm bushings
Front control arm bushings

 

Pretty sure those wires are for the horn......

 

Kinda thought so. Now to install one that plays the "Mexican Hat Dance."

 

Package in the mail!






Yeah Traction bars!

 

which trac bars do you have, im resurrecting a 91 si from the dead with an ls swap etc. but i can't find trac bars that are worth the price to me.

 

Full race. I was between theirs and explicit speed. Deciding factor was full race had them in stock and ready to ship. It's stout as hell. I won't know how it does on the road for afew weeks but I will definetly let you know.

 

More parts



1" Master Cylinder and booster

 

This is how i did mine. didnt get a final picture of it being done, but after all the wires were organized and zip tied it looked really good

 

So someone wanted my valve cover and my unmolested spare. Since i needed some extra cash to ensure the brakes get finished I sold them. So now Im rocking a shaved valve cover. Looks aren't high on my list of priorities, however extra money is. This is the new VC in satin black.

 

dylaxiin... thats too fancy for me. J/K

 

ive been screwing with the idea of a tilto pedal w/dual master cyl set up, are you just on a tight budget with the brake setup? just asking noticed you auto x it.

 

@shawnpepper
I need to fix/upgrade my brakes. They are really jacked up now. Worn and in need of replacement (Rear drum currently). Given the situation of my brakes there are a few options:

Fix OEM brakes
Upgrade to Integra brakes
Get Wilwood Dyna-light front/rear kit (Would be my final brake set up)

Im not sure which way to go. I can get cash for any of the setups, however I don't want to spend $300 to fix my current breaks and then turn around and buy another setup in a month.

I also would like to get sway bars, ASR brace and paint on the car. Also on the list is a proportioning valve.

The engine aside from some odds and ends I have laying around will remain untouched. I don't need a lot of power to run AutoX type tracks. Since my back set is removed (not my doing, and all clips are MIA) I will probably end up in ST, Im going to get my brakes and suspension tight.

UPDATE




This is the nightmare I found for my wiper motor.



This is how I ran my wiper wires kinda tucked, but accesable. There was about 9 feet of extra wire including speaker wire, yet again. Also no solder just twisted and taped.

 

Valve cover fitted and installed. No cam cover, F It.

 

37 and rainy in Wisconsin today. I'm not sure how much I'm going to get done tonight. Probably solder the windshield wiper motor in enlarge the hole slightly so the plug fits through and the start to wrap it. I'm tossing around the idea of bundling wires together in groups as far back as I can. Just thought his may be benificial since in the future I may want to have one fuse/relay panel.

 

Excellent work so far...keeping it clean and classy! I love the valve cover, too. Good job!

 

Thanks yeah trying to keep things simple. When I fry something or break something I want it I be easily fixed. Keepin it simple.

 

Got a new package!



Apparently left/right means left or right not left and right

Another set I shall order. All ready have ball joints and the front LCAs will go to powder coat soon.

Also got a quote to get the GSR rims dipped and powder coated $50 to get them dipped $50 to get them coated. Not sure I want to spend $400 on them. May just clean them up.
