And I start yet another build thread. This time for a 1993 4door GS integra, 5 speed, completely stock other than an intake and fat fives. My plans for this are just to make it clean, and of course a little power. Gonna lower it, put some nice wheels on it, front lip, MAYBE a roof rack, and fix all the body damage and dings and dents, and paint it. Performance wise, just I/H/E with skunk2 intake mani, and fuel pump and injectors. Then down the road boost the ish out of it, and keep the DA NA LSV.

Now for the pictures. Mind you I picked this up for only $900.

Picture time!!

















Found this little guy hiding in there while I was swapping the hoods! The only thing other than the intake that isn't factory on the engine.

 

Nice pick up for the price. I wish I could find a 2 dr down here for less than 3k!!!

So you like biters??? I lol'd at that!!!

 

Haha yea this thing has weird stiickers all over it lol

 

Tomorrow I have off work so hopefully itsnwarm so I can get the wheels swapped over and the headlights, and maybe paintnthe valve cover, anyone that knows me knows what color scheme im going withnfor the valve cover lol.

 

Oh I forgot it has an XTD stage 3 clutch installed that still needs breaking in, thats 5he main upgrade the car had done.

 

Finally touched the car for the first time since I bought it, been saving up lots of money though to do a FULL-ON tune up and then get it inspected and insured.

One thing I did was trace back most of his ghetto rigged wiring lol.

 

Even though it's freezing rain out, I went out in the garage and messed around. Instead of putting on a clean factory intake, I cleaned and painted the CAI, and got rid of the old ebay couplers and hose clamps and grabed some from an old intercooler.

Old POO



New skewl



Painted the CAI black with silver texture flake, should look good with black couplers



Then I cleaned and painted the heat sheild cause I couldn't find the old header off the DA



But then after like and hour of searching, viola!!!



At least now I can say I finaly touched the car since I got it hahaha. Oh and I got rid of the CEL, no codes for me! Getting her ready for inspection bitches!!!

 

I swapped over the hoods a few weeks ago, but I cant get the clean hood to latch, the rad support might be SLIGHTLY bent, I'm just gonna throw on the busted hood and get a hood bra for now = problem solved hahah

 

Well I went to put a clean factory intake back on, and found this:



Figured it was because of an FITV problem, and I decided to just swap throttle bodies anyway. Well after I put a new tb on and started it, it shot right up to 3k and climing. I also took of the FITV off the DA and cleaned it and was going to swap that over but just tried the tb alone first, obviously didn't help. It's dark now, so tomorrow I will swap over the cleaned FITV, if problem persists, I will make a blcok-off.

Or instead of going through all that, I may just grind down the putty flush with the bore and use that TB and keep the problem solved.

Also painted the intake and put it on, I think it looks better than that crappy chrome, just need to paint the valve cover now too.

Camera wouldnt' focus, picture does not do the intake any justice. I need to get rid of that one damn blue coupler but I couldn't find any more of my black vibrant ones

 

Fixing the FITV idle problem, then putting on the header!

 

Oh, and the Wally 255lph I've had lying around I'm going to use for this build also, god I can't wait to see how tight of a budget I can make out of this lol. Might even FMU hack! hahaha just kidding, don't kill me people.

 

Well I swapped over the tb's and as soon as I started the car it shot up to 3k rpms and climbing. So instead of ******* with and FITV block off plate, I grinded down the blob, and now it is perfect, ecxcept a need to adjust the idle cause it's at around 1.7k rpm's.



Old header from DA I'll be putting on soon.

 

And my Snap-On guy swung by my house today with a present!



Now I don't have to always borrow one from the shop across the street haha

 

Had the day off, but it snowed all day

 

It's a life saver!

 

the db looks good, ive wanted that style db for a long time.

 

I need to invest in one of those.. I have 3 blocks waiting to be torn apart lol

 

now if we only had a tool like this for axle nuts

 

THATS AMAZING!! ^^ God I could've used one of those a little while back.

 

yeah its an awesome tool. its so effective that when I was 12 I was able to pull the drums off a vw. theyre torqued to over 200lbs. when I was 12 I didnt even weogh 100lbs lmao

im pretty sure its like 30lbs=270lbs. so its a 9x torque multiplier
