I am in the midst of purchasing the following:

Welcome Travis :) thats a sexy EK....

Re:New Here
 

thank you. i tried to take a very minimalistic approach to its looks. kind of a sleeper look i guess you could say. im not down for the giant wheels and mega body kits. i just like it clean and simple....and relatively quick sometime soon.

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

"I like it... I like it alot" Thats from Dumb and Dumber. But seriously, I like it.

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

You may want to throw out the zdyne idea they only support obd 0 88-91 vehicles.

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

guess that idea is thrown out. any suggestions? and no, im not doing the vafc or any of the rising rate fpr setups.

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

Hondata?

Nice ride and welcome aboard. ;)

hondatas are cool and all, but they have the same problem as the ZDYNE's. my car is OBD-II and hondata has only developed products for OBD-I. this sucks. hehe.

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

I like that car just the way it is. No more, no less. Looks nice. ;)

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

just convert it to obd1, i've never done it but i hear it's not to hard. I believe there is a jumper that goes from existing wiring harnes to jumper to ecu. i could be totally wrong tho. nice hatch man and welcome

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

Exactly. No problems. :)

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

Nice EK, kinda looks like mine minus the wheels. :)

i was reading about urberdata and theres not much negatve feedback on it. its in the forced induction section of honda-tech. basically free.

nice hatch, wanna trade? :P ;D

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

You should tell us what your goals are and then we can give you some advice on management.

I don't think that you will need the Del Sol VTEC rad, but it depends what you want to do.

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

you guys suck...i thought i liked my ek until i saw yours

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

wow, you guys are all really cool. thanks for the welcome.

i know i dont "need" it, but its going to do nothing but help my setup my providing some extra cooling that the crappy stock single core cant since the del sol is dual core.

my goal is to run about 7-8psi but i want to run it as reliably as possible. im not about to just stick an fpr in there and call it a day.

OBD2 - 1 90 buck harness, then go with AEM or Hondata

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

cool cool. i guess ill be converting my car to OBD 1 then.

so basically what i do (correct me if im wrong) is purchase the conversion harness, plug that into my existing harness, and then plug that into an OBD-I ECU? I guess I ditch the second O2 sensor and just have that ---- welded shut?

Now, whats the most compatible OBD-I ECU for a D16Y7 (non VTEC, DX motor)?

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

Why weld the extra O2 hole shut when you can just plug it? M18 1.5 thread pitch plug from local automotive store or a fasterner store like Hi-Strength Bolts will work perfect.

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

or just be really cheap and leave the old sensor in there and say ---- it

Re:New Here - *pics + turbo setup inside
 

Nice car man...:( me want one too.
Nice harness...yeah get that.
