***Official What did you do to your ED/EF/CRX today!***

[Chernoby1]

4x114.3 conversion and then run 14". Or be retarded like me and run a 14x5 with massive muffin top tyres (coz 4x100 sucks in 14).

[THE 2BSEEN]

13's could get you that low look lol
Im think of sell a car, maybe a crx but civic would be better to sell

[VT3C]

ohh gawd please dont fit 16s or 17's to a 4th gen !!!

[henrygiang]

Think my only option is 16".... 15" won't clear the brakes

Hay

getting dry ice for sound deadening and hopefully take out engine tomorrow. big things.

[markismaximus]

Nice. Where you getting the dry ice from?

[CivicEGSI]

Um there is a place near the airport apparently, they said they sell it so yeah. Do you know of anywhere reputable?

Unfortunately not. That's actually why I was asking :p see where you were getting it from

[CivicEGSI]

Didn't end up getting any, traffic to the airport was horrendous so i bailed haha. Ill talk to the guys I work with and see where they got theirs from, will let you know man. Also, friend came down from FNQ so no work on car today, oh well.

You should be able to get it from most BOC stores.

Usually buy 2-3kgs and they end up giving you 10 lol

took more of the dash out, along with a lot of sweating

[Kenninho]

You can get dry ice from woolloongabba. I got it for I think $20-30 a kilo

[markismaximus]

where in Woolloongabba? name of shop?

[Kenninho]

I forgot but is across the road from south side Honda ironically

[Peppy]

I got a few steps further along on my ED project. Full story later, but today, I got the engine in my donor car running on the original wiring loom (a challenge, seeing how it was chopped and tucked and had an aftermarket alarm spliced in), and dropped it out of that car. Photos didn't happen much, but when I can get some more pics happening, I'll start a build thread.

[CivicEGSI]

It's stupidly hot in brisbane at the moment, I know how you feel! I was like swimming in sweat taking mine out.

[CivicEGSI]

How much did you end up needing? Like 2 kg?

[Kenninho]

How much did you end up needing? Like 2 kg?

Correction I think it was $20 for 4kg. I ended up using around 3-4kg. All you gotta do is put it in a bag so you can reuse the ice.

I wouldn't advise removing deadening. It's horrible to drive in. The firewall deadening weighs a lot but the floor deadening doesn't weigh that much

[EKVTIR-T]

How much did all the deadener you removed weigh?

Wont be too bad i think. I will enjoy it because i will feel like a race car driver :)

About 5kg if I recall. If that.

This is the deadener out of my CR-X:

http://imageshack.us/a/img339/8517/img20130112174010.jpg

Not including the dash mat that I've also removed, it felt quite heavy as Kenninho says, perhaps a similar amount to the floor deadening.

[CivicEGSI]

5kg is 5kg, every kg counts when n/a

[VT3C]

wow 5KG's !! might have to get my act together and remove the sound deadening finally.. I need a few more KG's back to make up for the cage.

[pengypengy]

how do you take off the headlights,frontbar,aprin off a ed6, tried today took bolts out but still didnt come off...

[Kenninho]

how do you take off the headlights,frontbar,aprin off a ed6, tried today took bolts out but still didnt come off...

perhaps a bit of a wiggle and maybe a mallet? gotta keep in mind ED's are really really old cars, in 5 years time, these cars are classified as classics, so some of the parts can be rust-binded together

PS. Writing a build thread atm guys

[markismaximus]

how do you take off the headlights,frontbar,aprin off a ed6, tried today took bolts out but still didnt come off...

You need to remove the front bar indicators. Behind there are 4 bolts which hold the front bar on.

[Mr. Focus]

Swapped my old Main relay out for a new one and washed, then polished my civ this morning and found something i hadnt seen since i bought it in October. Apparently i have 1 different wheel! Could be the ammo i need to allow me to get new rims :D

[Snoop_gee]

^ wattt u go an EG hatch now Mick !!?! ?

[Mr. Focus]

Yeah bro, had it since October. I was looking for another Gen 2 CRX, but at the time there werent any decent ones available/in my price range so i settled on an EG :D

Turns out i cant read today either. Somehow i thought this was the EG thread. Sorry guys!

[Kenninho]

Maybe it's just me, but I find Adelaide ED's are all in good condition compared to QLD. I'm down here for a business trip and I see heaps of clean ED's lol

[markismaximus]

Bring one back with you...

[Kenninho]

Such a long drive. But sounds like a good idea haha

[CivicEGSI]

Got a few questions, if I am using the donor car loom, and it has electric climate control, and mine has manual climate control, will it work? Does the ecu control the climate control?

[markismaximus]

what model car and year is the loom from? Also, when you say electric climate control do you mean the heater box direction flaps are electric? or you mean its a digital climate control?

[pengypengy]

anyone know if a Bride fixed back seat with eg/dc2 rail would fit a ed6 or what would i need to make them fit thanks

[ouch]

gave the zc a service before it (hopefully) goes in tomorrow. Need to figure out whats the go with the looms + ecu + efi hoses.

i can just use the crx engine loom, right? do i have to worry about the cabin loom?

[CivicEGSI]

what model car and year is the loom from? Also, when you say electric climate control do you mean the heater box direction flaps are electric? or you mean its a digital climate control?

The car is a da7, 4 door da import, but I have a feeling it had a ZC before the b16. And yeah, like to make it come out different vents its all electrical

[markismaximus]

given you are using both your ED heater control, and ED heater box there is no issue. You have nothing to connect up anyway...

just connect the fan button and AC switch if you are keeping it.... everything else on the heater control is manually adjusted. Make sense?

Hey guys, Don't post anything about my, tried a build thread on jdmst but lost interest quick.

Anyway been building this for the past 9 months or so.

Today I picked up an EF9 tank, sits better than my DA9 tank.

Did this: OBD2A EFI loom for 4 door sedan

[CivicEGSI]

A few updates to share, but no pictures.

So in the last week, the engine and loom has come out of my ed, and the engine has come out of my donor car. I recently purchased a set of hasport mounts, ef9 fuel tank etc. Turns out the mounts were for hydro, not cable, and I'm still waiting on the fuel tank. Hmm. Anyway, slowly getting there, conversion should be complete by the end of march :thumbsup:

[Miguelone]

Idk where else to post this.

Link removed, I think I wanna buy it.

Came across this, pity it's an auto. Looks like it's a jap model though? Vicroads check shows up with a VIN that looks like a Pre-SEVS import vin.

[VT3C]

^ WOW it's got the 'ZC hump', bronze glass and a parking pole !! is worth the price just for those bits !

[pengypengy]

what what i need if i wanna do a b16a conversion to my dual carb ed6? thanks

[CivicEGSI]

what what i need if i wanna do a b16a conversion to my dual carb ed6? thanks

Engine, gearbox, loom, da9 driveshafts, ecu, hasport ef B series shift linkages/ef9 shift linkages, EF B series hasport mounts ( if you have cable gear box you will need cable mounts, hydro box will need hydro mounts). EFI tank, change fuel hoses to efi rated hoses. think that's about it.

[Jordang]

what what i need if i wanna do a b16a conversion to my dual carb ed6? thanks

I have nearly everything you need! PM me if you are interested.

[pengypengy]

jordang i pm'ed you, or would a d16y1 would be a cheaper option? but d16y1 crossover you cant hear i heard someone say...?

[Chernoby1]

jordang i pm'ed you, or would a d16y1 would be a cheaper option? but d16y1 crossover you cant hear i heard someone say...?

If converting just convert to B series. Not that much different in price.

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

^ I disagree. I've seen Y1 swaps sell for 300 bucks VS a a2 set up going for a lot more (anywhere from 600-2500 and then some)

In an ED:
A D16y1 is bolt on with factory EG mounts (no extra mounts to buy)
Wiring isn't too fierce (or use a piggyback set up - ECU for lights etc and ECU for engine)
Existing driveshafts will fit (from EG or ED)
Shifter linkage is a case of using existing hardware or EG hardware.
Fuel injection can be sorted by an external pump (like AH OEM)
Exhaust will likely have to be worked on regardless.

If you're lucky, you'll have almost everything you'd need for the swap just by getting the package.

[Chernoby1]

I was estimating 1k for y1 vs 2k for bseries.

Then again if the sound is more important than performance I should probably shut up.

[mocchi]

it aint that bad, just use a steamer for clothes.

[markismaximus]

yeah I use a heat gun to warm the glass up and then the tint peels off easily. Use a scraper blade with warm water and dishwashing detergent to remove any remaining residue. Then final wipe with some metho and its done.

That looks Euro not JDM

You can tell by the number plate hole.

in japan and the US they got a nice small one, because the plates are small.

http://charlescharlescharles.com/exterior/wing4.jpg

europe got this one, coz of wide plates.

http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/7923/dscf0066kleinnv7.jpg

we ended up with the big one in aus, becAuse the plates are slightly wider than the jdm/usdm ones

fai hunred dowla

[Jordang]

Good luck getting out for 500. Closer to 1k I would suggest

[CivicEGSI]

So my engine is in, and everything is plugged in and wired up, but when i try and start it it only cranks once. Any suggestions?

[Miguelone]

Tried another battery?

[PHO]

Dat ded battery



(dont trust my word, i know nothing)

[CivicEGSI]

tried charging it for liek 2 hours and then using jumper pack aswell, but same deal. Will leave it on charge overnight and try that. Will post results.

[PHO]

No multimeter to check voltage?

inb4 dodgy grounds.

[CivicEGSI]

Probably, will add another ground to gearbok and engine, not sure if enough.

[89lude]

At least 3 grounds aye box, block and head

[PHO]

Chuck one on the alternator too.

[Miguelone]

Chuck one on the ground too.

*badum tish*

[CivicEGSI]

ok, will add like 4 more. Also earthed out D4 wire from ecu, the service check signal or whatever, but no engine lights flashing. Does car need to be started to flash engine check lights?

[Miguelone]

Generally yeah, can't log a fault unless the engines running and sensors etc are seeing load. When you try and start it does it get oil pressure? Although I guess if it's barely cranking you won't really know yet.

[CivicEGSI]

Yeah true that. Um, The oil light doesn't go away because yeah, engine doesn't actually start. Also, when i turn the lights on the fuel goes to full tank, and then when i turn them off, it goes to empty. so ****ing weird.

[THE 2BSEEN]

Does the car have alarm? Immobiliser?
Check all fuses, wire tracing.
Gunna be a b#tch but might have to be done.
Also engine did run before swap ?

[SAKI]

Make sure you haven't got different things earthed together at the same point, can cause all sorts of dramas like your fuel/light issue!

i had some fuel issues recently in my ed9 crx so i finally replaced the fuel filter, running sweet now and upon having a look at the whole car, realized my brake discs were almost finished, so purchasing some new ones, RDA187D slotted, blind drilled, dimpled series, but every company i call they have to make them for my car and it will take up to 2 weeks, so luckily i am in the car trade and got some good prices, so ordered them in. :)

Got any close up pics? I have no idea how they even look like, would be great so i can make my own :)

[~Sp33~]

I might be able to grab some tomoz. Basically it uses the same bolts as the bumper support, it just gets sandwhiched between the bumper support and the bulk head.

If all you grabbed from the EF is what's in the pic, then you still need another part of the bracket that's probably still bolted to the car.

I just did a quick shoopdewhoop, this is what makes the magic happen:

[grifty]

Cheers for the pic!

These are the ones correct (pic taken from the net)? The EF2 never had those, only these ones which are held on with a few welds onto the bumper support.

This is the EF2 bumper support

http://i43.tinypic.com/a5jmmt.jpg
http://i44.tinypic.com/hu0k2f.jpg

And this is the Concerto one, you see how the mount to the chassis is alot further back compared to the EF2.

http://i40.tinypic.com/35ch9ae.jpg

here it is with the bolt mounting face lined up with the Concerto one, you can see how the top part is not even close to the bumper support

http://i41.tinypic.com/2mczhh4.jpg

[~Sp33~]

Oh i understand. Yeah i haven't seen those brackets before to be honest.

The correct brackets could be easily duplicated though. I might even be able to get one made for you.

I have skunk2 and they work very well, u think hard race may have taken some of their design from skunk2

[grifty]

If you want to go low then hard race isn't for you.

[ouch]

the eg/dc2 one will work? i cant seem to find a specific ed/ef version.

[chargeR]

the eg/dc2 one will work? i cant seem to find a specific ed/ef version.

No EG/DC2 upper control arms are a completely different shape. If you want to go low you don't want adjustable camber arms, as their additional bulk means they'll smack into the suspension tower more so than the OEM arms.

As far as I know the hardrace EF/ED front upper control arms are discontinued.

[Renaissance_x]

From what I have heard is that skunk 2 need to be cut to avoid smacking into the strut tower and hardrace don't

I may be confused though.

Also for crx you have to ask for hardrace, skunk2 or ebay shit to the best of my knowledge when it comes to camber.

[grifty]

you can also get SPC offset balljoints.

[Renaissance_x]

i tried to fit my f7 dc2r lcas but they wouldnt slide on to the body properly. might need to remove the welded looking ginky bit pr take off the rear muffler to try and send the bolt through.

anyone else had this problem?

[grifty]

is it too wide? You shouldnt have and issue, maybe try greasing it up.
