yO whats up, Me and my homie are swaping a b16 in his ef8, got sick pics to post later. but right now we are almost done, the engine bay used to be ugly turquoise color, now its black, and the motor is in w/ its sexy bling bling Hasport motor mounts Now the problem is w/ wiring i think, But we have tried to turn it over and its seemed ok the 1st time now it sounds like the motor is locked, like not turning, and the wheels dont spin??? So any help is appreciated and thanks in advance

 

Can you manually turn the engine at the crankshaft with the trans in neutral?

You need to figure out if your problems are mechanical or electrical first.

 

is your battery charged ? are all your fuses good ?

 

alright cool thanx for the info. since we were like kind of rushing, ill check these things out and let you peeps know

Ugly Turqouise color?!?!

Umm... I'm hoping you're not planning on painting anything over on a Tahitian Green rex. [slaps head] Goddamnit.

What?

 

He means that a Tahitian Green CRX is very hard to come by. And you guys are painting over it like it's "Gang Green".

*Also slaps head* Poop!

 

That color is ugly as **** on a crx! And when the previous owner painted the crx a gunmetal grey they didnt paint the engine bay, So that looks real bad...so we painted it w/ black truck bedliner Get it?

And anyways please let me just get info on my homies b16

 

It's not electrical at all. It's the spacers in the hubs. I had the same problem man. Trust me, that is EXACTLY what it is. They're on the inside of the hub and they're probably rusty as ****. Just pop them out, and it will start. If they aren't on the hub then they're probably jammed onto the axle joint. That'll do it. I promise. Just understand this... there are guys on here (myself included) that would almost give a nut for a clean Tahitian Green Rex.

It'll take you 20 mins to fix if you're good.

 

Do you have to remove these hub spacers on all ef's when doing a b16?

They say you have to, but oddly enough, when I did one on my hatch, I forgot they were there and there was no problem. The CRX just wouldn't even crank with them on. meh... must be the inferior Canadian manufacturing of the Civic.

 

what do these hub spacers look like...?

aight thatnks...Im hopefully gettin my hubs tommarow Ill just pop them out right away so I dont forget
