DA9 interchangeable parts

[sml-089]

wondering, if there is some parts from other model Honda's that will fit into the DA9. im talking bolt on. not having to cut up and join and wat not. just a general listing, but ultimately want to know if any other suspension is interchangable

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

go over to g2ic and have a search for hybrid suspension.
1. gear shifter boot from dc.
2. adustable cam gears. from most b series.
3. 1/2 size radiatior from a civic will also fit
4. injectors, saturated ot the other ones. (one require a resistor box, and others dont)
5. b18c or b16a head on b18a block (lsvtec)
6. oil pump
7. Air con pump.
8. All b series gearbox's mate to bseries engines. note that some require a cable/hydro conversion.
9. brake / stud conversion from a dc or dc type r.
10. shifter from a crx or civic.
11. type r throttle body.
12. steering wheel, gear knob
13. throttle cable from similar designed im. such as type-r.
14. flywheel from b series.
15. gear shifter boot from dc.

in re: to point 1. Vtec rocker cover doesnt fit non vtec engine ? ie b18a, b18b, b20 BUT those 3 engine rocker covers are interchangeable.. hope that makes sense

[Jon_51]

if you get itr rear lca's and the feet (mental block, what are they called?) for the front shocks out of an eg/dc you can put eg/dc suspension in a da (I did it a month ago, and it works). go on g2ic and search 'elusive hybrid suspension article', it's got everything you need to know. Alternately EF suspension goes straight in I'm led to believe.

Do any strut tower bars from other civics integras fit a da?

[Dr4g0n]

do any exhaust systems from other honda's fit? e.g. crx/ef?

[180sx]

EK suspension will also fit on DA with EG front drop folk and EK rear LCAs

anyone know does DC2R radiator fit on DA without any mod ??

Thanks for link to that article, exactly what i was after

i know none of the integra exhausts are bolt on, dc2/4/5 have a straight catback end, whilst the da9 has the bend in the 90 degree bend at the rear as u will prob know

fixed mate :)

[Jon_51]

I have a good question.
If I have itr lca's, what type of rear sway bar do i want?
Upgraded LS, ITR, or other.

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

you want the 'whiteline rear sway', the dc2 and type r's require drilling and modifications to attach the mounts.

[Jon_51]

cheers, but why do i want that over the upgraded LS bar? which as far as i can tell wouldn't require modification?

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

want what? i just said you want the whiteline da9 bar. the others like the dc2 and type r require mods.

[Jon_51]

oh sorry my bad, I misread that, to say 'the whiteline rear sway for dc2 which will require modifications.' Thanks for the confirmation

[CanHonda]

nice work jon !

[Jon_51]

eg/dc rear strut braces will fit but you need to enlarge the mounting holes a couple milimeters with a dremel or something similiar. Its pretty close, when you line the bar up with the bolts the bar mounts to you can see over 3/4 of the bolt through the mounting hole, so the holes just need to be made slightly bigger. n.b. this info is from g2ic, not personal experience.

[Cold Fusion]

what kind of modifications will i need to fit a b18c/b16a aftermarket intake manifold?

cheers

[Cold Fusion]

anyone!

[sml-089]

not an answer to ur question but another to add to the interchangable list, info from g2ic.com, the g3 integra flywheel (including type r) will directly bolt on.

[bennjamin]

what steering wheels will fit a DA9 ? Will a EG or DC wheel fit ? Same spline size ?

[DA9B18C]

what steering wheels will fit a DA9 ? Will a EG or DC wheel fit ? Same spline size ?

anyone answer?

what about cluster swaps, i know there not direct, cos of the shape and all but has anyone custom fitted dc2 clusters on da9? what about connections at the back, are they the same?

[DA9B18C]

come on guys, someone has to know???????

[FR33K]

i think that question has been answered 100 times there if you feel like doing some research

[Jon_51]

is there an off the shelf cat back available in australia for a da9?

[sml-089]

not that i kno of.....
do dc2r throttle bodies directly bolt on? is there any power gains?

[LO_N_SXC]

not that i kno of.....

you would be better off just getting yours modified or purchese an aftermarket one, fitting a dc2r wouild involve re wiring for the tps etc etc due to the da9 loom being different.

[sml-089]

modifying it in which way? im a bit noob about tbs, boring it out to make it larger?

[180sx]

how about Dc2R radiator ??

[LO_N_SXC]

modifying it in which way? im a bit noob about tbs, boring it out to make it larger?

by taking out material form the overall inside diameter of the throttle body and replacing the butterfly plate to match.

like for example, lets say the oem diameter is 48mm and you get it bored out to 52mm or 54mm that would increase the amount of air going through the throttle body and into the inlet manifold.

I remember seeing over sized ones for B18A's at something like 75mm for like $285.

180sx: nope dont think it does fit, the mounting points are different and I think the withs are different too?

[180sx]

just put a DC2 radiator on my DA today !!! but what's the different between Type R radiator and stock DC2 Vtir one ? are they the same ?

[Jon_51]

what was the advantage of fitting the dc2 one?

[LO_N_SXC]

just put a DC2 radiator on my DA today !!! but what's the different between Type R radiator and stock DC2 Vtir one ? are they the same ?

HHHmmmmmmm as far as I could tell they're different withs, but yeah what would be benefit when you may as well buy a 3" thick aluminium radiator or fit some bigger thermo fans co keep it cooler, if thats what you're trying to achieve.

[FR33K]

no benefit. stock radiator is fine for day to day driving - thats what its made for.

unless your putting the car under stress - i.e tracking it regularly, i cant see the point in upgrading.

mind you most people track their car here on standard radiator

[DA9B18C]

why would u put dc2r radiator? u hoping to squeeze more kw? lol

get a half size civic one instead!

[180sx]

why would u put dc2r radiator? u hoping to squeeze more kw? lol

why would i put a dc2r radiator ?? have u even think before u ask this question??

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

standard radiator will cope with all situations, street and track. only benefit of 1/2 size radiator is for turbo setups for more room.
people sometimes convert to a dc2 or type r radiator because they can be cheaper or are easily available.

[DA9B18C]

how about Dc2R radiator ??

u asked here if it could be done! am i right?

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

he was asking the difference between the 2. But that question would be better asked in a dc2/ typeR thread. not a DA9 one.

[DA9B18C]

hey,

does a dc2 exhaust/piping fit a da9? besides the muffler comming out the wrong side, and if so how hardn is it to fit?

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

length of the main pipe needs to be adjusted, need hooks to mount on the back left. I always wanted to try that but didnt know if there would be an issue with the exhaust running along the back left,
like is there risk of it being too close to the fuel tank?

[Paul1985]

stock EG shocks and springs combo along with the front EG forks will drop the DA9 by about 2" supposedly...

Im going to try it prob on the weekend as i have a set of EG shocks + springs front and rear that are sitting in the shed.

will get pics when i do.

Is that a bit big? wouldn't you loose alot of induction pressure?

[Paul1985]

wherever i read that EG springs and shocks are shorter than a DA9 its shit.
i got them sitting next to each other right now.. springs shocks and the forks..

EG is actually a tad longer... what a waste of time

[IZY-10]

maybe they have a softer spring rate?

[FR33K]

hmmm well i used EF shocks in the rear of my car back in the days and they were definitely shorter

[Paul1985]

maybe they have a softer spring rate?

Possibly..
was difficult to line the forks up as they were a tad longer and i was running out of daylight and time so i just threw the DA9 ones back in there..

I might do some research and then re-try when i have a chance this weekend.

ahhhhhhh that is the hardest part. its a two man job

[DA9B18C]

can anyone confirm my exhaust query????

[IZY-10]

you will have a problem with your fuel tank! and if you go under it it is going to hang too low and you will scrap everything. However it can be done but by the time you waste your time figuring it out you could of worked to get a exhaust fabricated to do the same job

[DA9B18C]

thanks man,
so in short, it can be boted on?

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

we're refing to the exhaust following a mirrored path. so over left rear lca instrad of the right. like the DC but the opposite side.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v224/ACTI0NMAN/ozhonda/d1.jpg

[DA9B18C]

thats the shit, thanks dude.
but i think if i put the exhaust straight out the right side, it shouldnt be a problem? correct me if im wrong.
also
i havent forgotten, i will have to correct the rear bumper were the exhaust will come out

[Jon_51]

I've seen photos of that done. if you're just going to bolt on a dc2 one why not just get a greddy sp2 off ebay for the da9? probably end up cheaper then most dc2 ones you can source in aus anyway.

lol, do you have any idea how expensive they are and the shipping from the US would be almost the same as the item itself.

[Cold Fusion]

will an aftermarket intake minfold from the b18c/b16a fit onto our b18a/b's?

Thanks

[Jon_51]

lol, do you have any idea how expensive they are and the shipping from the US would be almost the same as the item itself.
450US + Shipping? How much is the average mandrel bent, stainless steel cat back in aus worth? if you could get one for a da9 that is.

[DA9B18C]

hey, what rails fit a da9? any straight fit, no mods required?

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

450US + Shipping? How much is the average mandrel bent, stainless steel cat back in aus worth? if you could get one for a da9 that is.

the issue is the cost of shipping.

[Jon_51]

I still hazard a guess that it'd be cheaper then alot of dc2 catbacks

[Paul1985]

ahhhhhhh that is the hardest part. its a two man job

You have obviously done the EG suspension in a DA9.
Any tips?

Looks like its gonna be a real bitch to get the LCA's to line up with the shock's.

You mentioned its a two man job. How did you do this?

Nah i haven't like you i ran out of time. I ended up just buying coilovers so yeah. But i could not do it by my self you basically have to get someone to put there foot on the lca and apply pressure down so that the hole matches up first time it took me like one hour cos i was by myself.

[Jon_51]

raise the lca into place with a jack

EG springs/shocks/forks in a DA9..
Fronts look like absolute shit and the car sits higher than with the original springs... Not to mention the amount of difficulty i went through to get them on.. Rears are fine though. I wanna know who has tryed this before?
Ive read of people doing it before. How the $%^& did you lower the front with EG springs/shocks/forks? I dont believe it can be done. Heres pics of the front and rear:

i did some research and found that nowhere seems to mention the front lowering, but mentioning that rear. Damn i wish i knew the fronts wouldnt lower. I wouldnt have bothered lol.

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

Yes its been done before just take it to the exhaust shop to get them to fabricate the fitting.

can u fit 16x8" +38 offset wheels on a da?

not a 100% sure but if you have the muffler already it should be around $80-$100. Best way to find out though is to get a few quotes from some shops

[180sx]

so............ 180sx how is ure exhasut run?

basiclly i custom made a 2.5 inch pipping with a 2.5 inch inlet cannon coming out from the driver side, so it gives way better flow than DA9 cat back which come out from the other side, very noticable different, highly recommand ~~

will upload some pics if someone willing to + my rep :D

[Samm928]

added rep! SHOW ME SOME PICS :D i wanna do this to my da9 but im not so sure because then it will look ugly as the back bumper has a cut for the muffler and if you put it on the drivers side the semi circle cut thing would still be there although muffler would be ! :D

the front u can get stock, the sides are easy, what about the rear cd5?
how much stuffing around fore that. a write up would be great. with pics!!!!

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

you have to make a small cut somewhere along the middle as i believe the exhaust exits on the other side.

[IZY-10]

very easy to do all you need is a heat gun, black silicon, angle grinder to cut the plastic

from what angel? As you can see it looks way better than stock. The only thing i changed though was the rear bar as you would know has a black strip along the bottom of the rear bar.

im pretty sure, the 93 rear is the same as the 92 rear, which is the same as IZY-10 rear.

89-91 diff to 92-93

yeah they are differe..93 look sbetter...hahahahah damn...well i've got a few ideas up my sleeve that a few differet rear skirt mite fit...willsee

[sml-089]

do they even make rear lips for the 92-93 i havent found any, would looks weird anyway, coz the bumper already has a sort of lip in it

[DA9B18C]

thats weird, my 92 has the same rear as IZY. must of been swapped?

Spoon DA9R- when u find something pm me, just incase

[Spoon DA9R]

haha no worries...will do...

on ur 92 do u have the small holes on the bumper or u don't have one like like 93? coz 92 have 2 different model...it was sometime during the mid year when they brought out the facelift version

[IZY-10]

yeah 92-93 rear is different so it will not look as good on the 92-93 model

[sml-089]

i think it was july when they updated the model, so maybe u have pre july 92 model???

[DA9B18C]

hey fellow DA9ers,

what cluster is the easiest to fit into our car? and

ACTIONMAN- does the stock manual cluster work with the b18c conversion?

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

hey fellow DA9ers,

what cluster is the easiest to fit into our car? and

ACTIONMAN- does the stock manual cluster work with the b18c conversion?

Yes use the stock DA9 b18a cluster, only difference with the b18a is the redline starts at 6500-7000. so you can run into the redline safely as the b18c revs to about 8000 stock.
:)
other options are xsi with the b16.
I never changed my cluster as its a waste of time.

[Spoon DA9R]

some prefer to use their stock cluster as it only goes up to 8000 so when engine can rev pass 8000, e.g. B18C7, it looks pretty sick...

i had the jdm cluster..which goes to 9000rpm but speedo only goes up to 180...

[180sx]

this will solve your problem :)

Chuck nitrous on it then, you've built the engine.

[crispy]

Yes, but is his engine capable of handling nitrous? Plus there is nothing wrong with a bit of non-vtec power, i would much rather have a killer b18a then a balls stock vtec, its much more sleeper

Yes, but is his engine capable of handling nitrous? Plus there is nothing wrong with a bit of non-vtec power, i would much rather have a killer b18a then a balls stock vtec, its much more sleeper

100% agree with this dude ^^

back to the topic...just fitted spoon mirrors...pain in the ass though...as quoted by my friend who's done it already " u r gonna need to do quite a bit of drilling..."

[tseesinngwailo]

So Far..

I have put the following in my DA9

B16a (complete half cut)
Type R front calipers
Type R brake booster and master cylinder (need brake line re-flare)
EK Koni Yellows (rear) but i lathed down the bushes, EK rear arms do not fit, seem too long (can anyone confirm??)
EG Lower strut brace (aftermarket, but i guess dimensions are same)

What I want to know, does any EG, EK or DC2 exhaust (catback) fit as long as you bring the tip out on the drivers side??? I already have a Tanabe (EX EK) muffler that has been setup on the drivers side, but want to know if the catback from something else would still be same length up to where it goes over the rear control arm ?

Thanks, Chris

[Spoon DA9R]

yes it fit..i was using dc2r BC spec2 before, eg or ek will be too short...

i just got my master cylinder done last week too...gonna look for my gd old spoon calipers again...shouldn't have sold it back then.....honestly most thing fits...from eg or dc2...just that some needs minor adjustments

[[T][L]]

will IACV from the b18c fit on to b18a?

[[T][L]]

anyone??

[180sx]

better ask in " Technical " section

[sml-089]

well the da has a bend in the end and comes out the other side if i remember correctly. some members have used the dc style exhaust and run straight through, some say there is an increased risk of spark hitting exhaust due to the fact that there is no guard for an exhaust spark hitting an amount of fuel....

[Spoon DA9R]

there is no problem with that set up...only have to add hinges on the driver side to hook the muffler on and maybe cut a hole in the bumper

[freakatronic]

Thanks a lot lads.

Re. spark hitting exhaust - what exactly is meant there? I thought exhaust was already combusted gases ie. no risk of further ignition.

[Spoon DA9R]

some ppl think with dc2 exhaust the bend over axle part be closer to the fuel tank and the mulffer itself is closer to fuel tank or something along that line...

i ran a BC spec2 straight pipe from dc2r before..car never blew up..so i have no idea wot they mean

[freakatronic]

Sweet, thanks for helping out.

[sml-089]

i wasnt agreeing with it. just stating wat some ppl think

[Chriskoss]

Bumping this up

Anyone know what other honda model's radiator fits into the DA9? eg any b series radiator?

And anyone know if dc (incl dc2) 4 stud discs and pads fit on oem da9 brakes?

thanks

[mooshie]

the DC radiator is very similar dimensions, but the mounting points are different and the drain plug is in the wrong spot (covered by the crossmember) the mount points for the fans are in different locations as well.
any Civic/CRX half size will fit with a few tweaks as well, but make sure you get the dual core.

[Chriskoss]

Thanks heaps mate, ill get onto it

[bambi]

im confused by something i saw on page 1, someone said you can fit a b18c or b16a vtec head onto a b18a block. that sounds like an awesome mod

however someone said the rocker cover wont fit the block. how do you get around this??

[sml-089]

its called a frankenstein conversion. theyre everywhere here on the site. just search for it

[slimx]

just thought id add it seems DC2 CV joint fits to..
I bouht a DC2 CV Joint and it fit fine

[d-train]

Will a steering wheel from a S2K fit a DA9?

[Latino CRX]

What Civic model Half Size Radiator fits the DA ???

[djkng]

There's a grommit in the middle of the firewall behind the Intake Manifold, that is EXACTLY the right size to plug the hole where your rear wiper sits. Good little addition if you're planning a rear wiper delete.

Plus, the grommits are also contained in the DC/EG firewalls!
