Any mods required to fit the rear seats?

[latinstyle69]

Thanks man


Any mods required to fit the rear seats?

Yeah the brackets at the front don't fit so u can either swap the upholstery from the ek4 seats with the stock ones or drill out new holes for the brackets and cut out some foam for where you fill up fuel lines go

[~Sp33~]

Installed the recaros and ek4 rear seats, just missing rear seat head rests


Loving those Recaro's!

This is my new account lol

Thanks man but nah mine need a retrim as well but I'll do that later on, there's a couple of cig burns on both, didn't know they came out of a proton, got these from a wreckers covered in a few years worth of dust lol.

Did u buy new mounts or customise the existing ones?

[dove grey 64]

Just used the stock rails, 88 wagon seats mount from the bottom and are equal height so it's a 15min redrill and bolt up to match with bottom mount recaro seats.
Yeah these particular ones are factory proton satria gti seats, you can tell by the material choice. The centers are good and well done but the material they used on the side bolsters is cheap, I'd recommend re trimming the sides even if they seem ok.

[wheytastic]

Oh nice man didn't know the wagon rails fitted easier, I ended up making a bracket to fit the existing rails lol looks stock though

Yeah I plan too, I need to get a side plastic cover too as I'm missing one

Was on the hwy from syd to act today, and this little Asian bloke in this black and red crx flew past, then slowed down to my speed (the limit + 5km)

He then decided to put clutch in and redline constantly and kept motioning me to roll my window down

So as I did, he kept screaming "hay dua! Dua toi!!" (race me/let's race in viet)

So as I shifted down from 5th to 3rd, I heard what might of been him shifting to first car and saw him roll back so damn quick and smoke coming out from his bonnet.

I just drove off lol

I'm not ready to post pics of my car just yet but I want to give a run down on what I have so far.

KW v3 coilovers

Hardrace camber kits front and back (shouldn't have wasted money buying this didn't even need it)
Tannabe front sway bar It either a 24.5 mm or a 25mm
Ultra racing front strut brace
cusco rear strut brace

[Renaissance_x]

What discs are you going to be using?

[wheytastic]

These fit 262mm

I'd assume that an EG/ITR BB and BMC would fit an ED given that it fits an AH with a lil work.

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Keep in mind.

When I put the EG BB BMC in my AH it did need work for perfect feels but it worked well.

[wheytastic]

Ok cool, I do recall reading somewhere the 90-92 integra is like a straight fit but I'm not 100% sure on that and can't find the post lol

[grifty]

All Honda's are interchangeable pretty much, same bolt pattern so yes the 90-920 will fit.

if you want a 1 inch master cylinder & booster it's a very tight fit and requires you to shave the booster a tad...

[Renaissance_x]

Is a mini brake disc swap just for the front or is it front / rear?

Hey guys,

I stumbled upon some build threads on various froums stating there is a cheaper way to upgrade to 280mm brakes. I have put together a parts list for the conversion below.

This conversion requires no rotor spacers or caliper bracket machining. It also does not require re-drilling brake rotors to 4x100!!!

This only works if you are currently running stock 262mm knuckles. If you have 242mm ones you will need to upgrade to 262mm ones first. This will work on any ED/EF/EG/EK/DC.

1. 262mm kunckles.
2. Bendix DB1206 pads or any of your choice as long as they are the same design.
3. 17CL15VN calipers and matching brackets.
4. DBA2526 or RDA7996 rotors, these numbers are for blank rotors.
5. 1 inch master cylinder with matching booster.

The rotors are from a 2007+ Mini Cooper non-S. They are 280mm in diameter, 4x100 and have the same centre bore! The lug nut holes are a little bigger but this wont effect anything. These fit perfect without issues, no modification required all bolt on!!!

The required calipers can be found on Accord V6's, Type R's, Odessy's, Legned's & Prelude's. Don't be fooled by paying top dollar for ones that came from a Type R, they're all exactly the same. You can pick them up for $50 the pair.

I paid $132 for the RDA rotors from my local parts store. you would normally pay $190-210 for the RDA 282mm blank rotors redrilled to 4x100 + $40-50 for the spacer or caliper machining. That's a saving of over $100!

I am currently doing this conversion and will post some pictures once completed. I have purchased the rotors and confirmed that they do fit without any issues.

[wheytastic]

Hey hondapop,
Yes track day car only have stripped all interior out and slowly working my way through, would like to be in a position to World Time Attack it one day but time will tell. Need to sell off more interior parts to fund the small stuff needed to get to a track day.

282122820928210Hi Wheytastic,
Currently have the STD B16a but this will change over time, B18 then K Swap on the plans, have to tread carefully as the wife will S##t a chicken if she finds out the cost of a Kswap, I was planning to cage the car before i do a track day but am to keen to have a go so am expressing the build and will run with out a cage first up. I am an old bloke and havn't driven on the track since the late 70's, son has been havin all the fun (at my expense mind you). But this is long term so no hurry.

[wheytastic]

Oh snap really nice Em1 man, first car I bought was an em1, awesome car for a project.

Too bad your in the wrong thread haha 88-91 civic and crxs in this one

Either way hope it goes well especially your first track day

[Howardm]

Thanks mate,
I am wanting to do a build thread but still can't get on it have to serve the rookie period i guess, but its a 1999 model so this thread will do for a while. Going to do the track day with Circuit Club

You can't creat a build thread in that section, you have to create it here and then if it lasts long enough the mods will move it there....

Just call it Howardm's EM1 build and go from there...

[~Sp33~]

Brake pads, tyres and an oil change.

[hondapop]

Where you at Michael?

Suspension upgrades and semi-race tyres on 15 x 6.5 rims for a start. If you don't want to go whole hog with adjustable coilovers, Skunk2 make shortened sports shocks, find'em on US ebay. Local lowered King springs (superlows for racing). 20mm swaybars and new bushes. If you stick with the "D" and it's a good motor, upgrade the early G/box to a later 89-91 (both have a 20 spline input shaft instead of the 21 spline in the 87-88's 190mm clutch, and can take the larger clutches available. 200mm for the 89 and 212mm for 90-91 and the later EG's). Brakes you can upgrade to front 262mm using DA9 Integra booster, M/cylinder, prop valve, calipers, hubs/knuckles, they will also lower the front about another 12mm or so. Replacing the front LCA with the DA9 one will give a bit more negative camber, but requires filing the forward bolt hole in the stock traction bar about 3mm longer to get the bolt to match up with the LCA bolt hole. If you want to retain the rubber RTA main bushes, the DA9 RTA also is a direct replacement for the ED9/EF7 one and has the larger bush with bulkier connectors in the bush. These are relatively cheap upgrades for a fun road/track car. Can be done a bit at a time.

[hondapop]

What I forgot to mention clutch wise is the need to get the appropriate flywheel to match the different size clutches, definitely in the case of the 190mm but not sure if the 212mm will fit the 200mm.

[~Sp33~]

ACT make a range of performance clutches for the 87/88 gearbox.

[michael.908]

Can someone tell me what this flap is for on my intake

It's connected to a clutch looking thing connected to a fuel line or something

[~Sp33~]

IIRC it pulls hot air off your header to bring the car to operating temperature quicker (reducing fuel economy).

[michael.908]

IIRC it pulls hot air off your header to bring the car to operating temperature quicker (reducing fuel economy).

Is it needed? I've been thinking about messing around with my carbs so I'm wanting to take the whole cover off and run some motorcycle cone filters with cut springs in the carbs.

[~Sp33~]

The car will never run as good as it will with all the factory vacuum lines in place, but it will still run with that flap removed.

Make sure you know where everything goes though, ive seen a few ED's now that have the emissions stuff taken off to do the 'motorbike filter' mod and end up just running like crap and they can't work out how to put it back together.

[hondapop]

The carby models had a mass of tubes going all over the place, early PGM-FI's weren't much better. That particular vacuum valve is as Sp33 says, draws warmed air off the exhaust headers to help vaporise the fuel entering the engine on and just after start-up. The warm air hose is that one underneath with the insulation wrapped around it. Provided it's working correctly, that valve will open fully once the engine reaches temperature to let air through from the filter. There will be a water heating connection, sometimes directly from the head (or by hoses) to the inlet manifold that takes over the heating. Emissions control stuff that's removed can cause all sorts of problems for daily driving. If it was a dedicated race car being run WOT, might be different.

[hondapop]

Just to add to that, I had a Valiant Charger back in the 90's that had a Cain alloy intake manifold that was not attached to the exhaust manifold (hotspots they were called, which prevented the intake from freezing) and had a 4 barrel carby. Great while cruising down the hi-way, gave some good power, but when you got back into traffic, drove like a dog, 'cause the fuel was icing up in the intake. Took a good 15 minutes for the manifold (big, long curved runners on it) to warm up enough to vaporise the fuel. Cross flow engines, have to rely on this sort of system to do the job.

So bad idea to get rid of it? I'm wanting to modify the metal air filter cover so that the carbs get more flow rather than the air going through seemingly one small area

[hondapop]

For street use and fuel economy, a bit of warmth in the intake air is a good thing, otherwise you're just chucking unburnt fuel out the exhaust. For racing you're after the maximum amount of air expansion in the cylinders you can get, hence cold air and max fuel. If you do away with that device, you'll get poor performance till the coolant reaches a high enough temperature to take over the warming of the intake. There's a big misconception that liquid petrol burns, it doesn't until it vaporises i.e. becomes a gas. That requires heat. Domestic market engines are designed this way to aid that process before the fuel/air mixture enters the combustion chamber. Where you have cold air entering the chamber, the droplets of liquid fuel (which is what they are, either from carbies or EFI), don't become gas until the heat from the spark plugs vaporise the fuel close to them and produce a flame front (heated air) that spreads to the rest.

This is why you see great spurts of fire from dragster exhausts, it's all wasted energy that wasn't used in the engine, but that's the price they pay to get what they want.

[michael.908]

I have a 91 ed civic and was wondering what I'm supposed to do with the vacuum lines if I want to run cone filters on my dual carbs? There seems to be quite a few hoses running from the filter cover case to various places and I'm not sure if they're important or what to do with them. Any help would be appreciated

[hondapop]

The only thing I can suggest is get a small vise grip, clamp each hose off 1 at a time and see what effect that has.

[michael.908]

The only thing I can suggest is get a small vise grip, clamp each hose off 1 at a time and see what effect that has.

I ran the car with them all open for a bit and nothing seemed to be affected or I couldn't tell at least so I'm not sure if I can just remove them or what.

[hondapop]

The last carby'd car I had was the GA2 City and that was only a single. It had enough hoses to deter me from touching them. As I remember several went into a "box". Never found out what was in there, so can't help you on which may or may not, if any, can be done away with, or what the effects might be.

[markismaximus]

Look at it this way, if they served no purpose Honda wouldn't have fitted them.
When you say you've run the car, have you driven it or just let it idle? Was the car hot or cold. IMO you are asking for trouble removing the hoses. As people have said above putting them all back when the car runs like a dog is not going to be fun.

Anyone know why Honda made these screws out of the weakest metal ever? Mine striped as soon as I applied the smallest amount of pressure.

[hondapop]

Usually caused be using a too small screwdriver tip. Phillips head screws require a close fitting tip of the correct size. The age of these would also mean, the threads have probably seized.

Anyone know why Honda made these screws out of the weakest metal ever? Mine striped as soon as I applied the smallest amount of pressure.

One reason, they are not Phillips head screws they are JIS, you need a JIS screwdriver to fit properly and avoid damaging the head. A Phillips head driver will "work" but does not fit perfectly resulting in it slipping out and stripping. The small dot on the screw head identifies it as JIS, Google will tell you the differences...

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/19/feff8c179586f3cb4d408749494fcc10.jpg

The other reason as mentioned is they are old and probably never been taken out and seized.

[hondapop]

That is interesting, haven't heard of that one, I guess JIS stands for Japanese Industry Standard? Wonder if the threads are a different pitch to others as well.

[hondapop]

Here's some info to either cure insomnia or cause it, http://www.ring-plug-thread-gages.com/ti-Article-JIS.pdf

That is interesting, haven't heard of that one, I guess JIS stands for Japanese Industry Standard? Wonder if the threads are a different pitch to others as well.

Yes, JIS is Japanese Industrial Standard.

The threads are standard metric, I haven't bothered comparing the spec but I've never had another metric screw of the same nominal diameter fail to thread where a JIS screw was used.

There is another called posidrive which can be confused with standard Phillips drive as well, but I doubt you would see them on an old Honda.

So, everyone go out now and buy themselves a JIS screwdriver and see how much easier it is to undo without damaging JIS screw heads!!!

Yes, bigger main jets. Not sure what type of carbies were fitted to yours, but if they are the type with a tapered needle that lifts out of the jet to allow fuel to enter the airstream, then both needles and jets would need replacing as a matched pair.
