Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

I'm putting my S13 on hold and picking up a gutted EF hatch (im ------- hard-core) with GC coilovers for $800. Just gotta find some seats so I can drive it home. Whatever mods I do to the car, i gotta keep 'em real cheap so I'm thinking MPFI and a little baby turbo, 450's and either turboedit or uberdata or possibly megasquirt. Yeah, this thread sucks without pics. I agree.

I just realized I dont know ---- about Hondas anymore (used to have a turbo prelude..an accord, and an NA prelude.) junkyard style. Gotta spend a while reading over stuff and get my learn on. Damn this thread sucks. I'll post pics when I get them.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

welcome back.. i've got some mpfi parts if u need ;)

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

what you got? I've done a tiny bit of research and it looks like I need an ECU, distro, and intake manifold. I found an intake mani at a junkyard I can probably pick up for cheap. I got a resistor box laying around for some reason too.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

I think we should really see some pics! :-X

I will be on the search for seats...and I have some xtra shite laying around the house

T fittings, tom has some slicone hose I could get back, and a shite load of connectors and such...and I still have that internal gate from OBs turbo

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

welcome to the FF. but im sure you'll never love it like ur FR. and with a super junkyard setup i and tiny ass turbo i doubt you'll get close to the times you get in ur s13. good luck with everything and keep us updated!

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

ive got a 88pm6 (the hard to chip kind :( ), a bare 88-91 Intake manifold, and 4 obd0 240cc injectors.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

F22 - YESH! Im goin to try to make it to that junkyard near Ira's to look for some whees/interior pieces/seats after work. Lemme know if you or anybody is down for tagging along.

Yeah, FF sucks balls :o. I'm not trying to make it comparable to the S13 (I mean..thats impossible ;D). I'd be happy with 400whp...and I'd settle for ~175whp or so. Hell just 150 would proably feel pretty good in that light car.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

I'm decent at soldering, so I'll look into that pm6 to see whats involved in chipping it. If that IM falls through at the junkyard, I'll let ya know about that. What would you want for the IM and PM6? Im not ready to spend any money at the moment but would like to have an idea so I can lowball you later if necessary ;)

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

$40 + shipping? i dunno, the IM is almost 100% bare.. i can pop a IACV on it tho ;D

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

I'll let you know

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

Yesterday was a good day. Sold some misc. 240sx crap on ebay and got $200. Bought a downpipe and IC piping and ran into a guy that overheard me talking about the hatch. Haggled him down to $125 for a d16y7. yay I can get a SMIC for free but might get a JRC anyways in case i want to run a bit more boost than i previously intended.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

88-89 ecus are worthless to chip...

good for your mpfi swap though...


dont use the stock y7 im though... run like an A6 intake manifold + ls tb and you'll be making a good start...


175 on a y7...not really a problem...keep it real and rock out to like a 14b and you shouldn't have too big of a prob getting there

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

you guys are some knowledgeable ----------ers. Thanks man!

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

hehehe

its all good mang...and just hit me up if you need some little pidly stuff...I prolly got several things laying around the appartment

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

pimp. i be dere in a few. me and rick are hittin a secret new junkayrd i found yesterday. shhhhhh!!

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

welcome back

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

correct about the ecu. not ideal for chipping, but good for a mpfi swap.

also, the LS t/b wont fit an a6 IM. only 92+ manifolds will hold a b-series tb.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

I'm probably just gonna pimp the stock D15 until it blows up. Maybe even throw an FMU/turbo/fuel pump on there and see how long it lasts/ on ~5psi, then swap over the y7 and run turboedit or uberdata. Still gotta do some research on that.

First, I gota find some ------- SEATS! It has none. I scoured the junkyards around here (4 in total) and cant find any 89-90 seats with anything less than an inch of mildew on them. I'm just gonna find some 89-90 rails and try to make these 91 seats I found fit on said rails.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

Welcome back to the darkside 8)

I've got that ecu too, if crx88si doesnt want to sell his :-*

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

I have some blue seats from a 88 civic dx 4dr if you want t o pay shippin on them ::)

not that great of condition, but the rest of the car is going to the junkyard so...

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

thanks man, but i've been driving around in a '90 civic automatic station wagon for 3 weeks. cant wait anymore to get into something....less....gay. Should be able to get the junkyard seats in there by tonite and its only $40 so imma go that route, plus shipping seats aint cheap.

Sinister - I'll let ya know. Might be a couple months before I need it.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

dude...90 civic station wagon...PIMP DAT ----.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

I would, but it's me and my fiance's shared car. Im forbidden to touch it unless doing so results in more gas in the tank or fresher oil in the pan.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

How about increased acceleration rate? :-*

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

nope, she'd have my balls in a sling. Trust me - I've thought about it.

Seat rail search was fruitless. ---- me in the goat ass. Me and some friends are gonna travel 2-3hrs to a junkyard on Saturday to pick up some seats/wheele and whatever else isnt bolted down..or...is bolted down.

It's a chain of junkyards around here. Listen to this - SET PRICES!. you know exactly how much something is by just looking on a pricelist. i.e. all 4cyl motors are $106. All Turbos are $39, intercoolers $16. pimp eh?

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

there is a yard like that around here ... except ANY motor (long block) is $150 , trannys are $75, etc etc.

put it this way...they have 2 integras back there and just got a civic w/ a z6 in it.

i'm getting all of it

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

i've got two 88pm6's so I have no problem letting one go :-*

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

FINALLY got my goddamn paycheck so I get to purchase the car today. Still have to find a mothafuckin seat, but that should be accomplished by sometime tomorrow.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

But I'm a poor high school student with a crappy job, let me sell mine :'(


:-*

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

Just signed over the title. Bout to go pick it up. Its funny how I keep updating this thread like something real exciting is happening...but well i'm bored

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

get the pics nukka quit teasing

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

Got some bad news..well kinda. I think cyl #3 is shot. barely got the car to go 60mph on the highway and due to the extra rich #3 and having no real exhaust to speak of my eyes were ------- BURNING the whole way home. Add some rain, no windshield wipers and the window all the way down to keep from asphyxiating oh yeah, and no heater controls, shitty brakes it was a bitch of a ride home. People honked, I cried blah blah. Found out the previous owner did a rear disc swap, so thats neato (no parking brake yet tho). I'm HOPING #3 is just an ignition issue. Dont feel like cracking open the motor right now. Its dark..and rainy. I'll try to get better pics tomorrow

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

Hope its not friend :( Congrats on getting the car!

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

Thanks man. It definitly needs some love...and I'm just the man to give it to it.. but seriously thats half the fun...and frustration

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

IM A ------- IDIOT.

Seems after I did the compression check, i put the plug wires in wrong (prev. owner had the lengths all fucked up). Motor runs fine. I was running on 2 cylinders on the way home. Guess that would explain the lack of power.

Got the heat working today. Yes!

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

lmao, and the burning eyes! problem solved though!

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

This is true. Speaking of the burning eyes, I just can't express how ------- horrible that was. I've been in a dyno room for 4hrs on a windless day. That was unpleasant. This was ------- hellish. I probably could have lit my spit and made a fireball.

Anywho, enough bitching. Hopefully today I'll have time to inspect/bleed the brakes at least.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

Congrats on the civic.

Re:Coming back to the dark side...sorta
 

Thanks man. Got some daytime pics.
