Well, we got it started. She started right up no problem, surprisingly. Unfortunately, the tach doesn't work, and the CEL NEVER CAME ON?! I don't have any EGR stuff? Is it working properly?! Anyone have any clue on where to start on the Tach? It's an Si cluster.
It's a JDM P13, and I know EGR is optional, but I thought it threw a light no matter what? Hmm, a bit confusing I guess. Oh well, it RUNS! Pretty well, too. Just a few little bugs here and there. WOOO HOOOOOO!!

 

IT sounded like a drag car in the staging area. So sweet without exhaust!!

 

Damn where the hell is elmira. Would love to meet up with other h22 hybrids in the area.. Get that bish up and running so we can hang.. lol (Me speaking. DSS might have sent me the wrong axles so now I am trying to figure out what is what)

BTW, was your tach working before? And are you talking about RPM tach or Speedometer?

 

Elmira! haha middle of NO WHERE! haha



That should about do it.... The car did not have a motor in it when the car was purchased and it only had a DX cluster in it, (no tach). He put in a 00 Si cluster. Hell not even sure if the speedo works for that matter.

I need an exhaust too.. What do you H22 guys run on this? Complete muffler shop custom special or...
Yeah, the tach doesn't work.. The speedo? No clue yet. haven't had the car move on its own.

 

Well the whole cluster should be plug and play just make sure you connected all the wires off the harness properly. If your speedo isnt working then just make sure you plug up the Vehicle speed sensor located at the back of the tranny right around the area of the shift linkage..

And I just had a shop weld up the downpipe straight to the exhaust that was already on the civic.. Changed out the muffler then put resonators on it to quite it down..

 

i can set you up with a complete oem spec mandrel bent custom piping that way you can move from stock to 2.25 or 2.5 if you plan on turbo i ll do 3" for you also.

 

I actually had planned on 2.5" right out of the chute, from DP back..

 

All EK clusters are plug & play. If your speedo and tach doesn't work, first check the the VSS and your tach wire (blue wire) and rerun that to the negative end of the ignition coil. If those don't work, then you may have a bad cluster, and plug your old one back in too to verify that.

As for a "good" exhaust system for the H22 Civics, most of us run 2.5" piping with no cat, long 30" resontator, and a cheap free-flowing 2.5" inlet/outlet muffler. No buzzing what so ever, and it sounds very clean.... in VTEC, my car sounded louder than my friend's car... go figure, but still sounded good. Entire setup cost, around $150-$200

 

Newman, what about internal coil distribs? Thanks for the help man! You guys run stock downpipes though, right?
NIIICE TIMES by the way. WOW.

 

here here for you fellow NY'ers!
