Steveo will you chop the roof to put ur old sunroof in? lol
hahah i thought bout it, but prob not lol
i like my chassis strength

[mooshie]

oh cool, i hadn't noticed that it didn't have a sunroof...

[Spoon DA9R]

hahah i thought bout it, but prob not lol
i like my chassis strength

you'll miss it when its 40 degrees lol

[supanoodle]

hmmm status check on my DA9 , leaks int he front passenger footwell, shocks and springs need changing , engine needs a good service , rims need painting, sound system needs installing, power window on passenger down button doesnt work , but can hear the up button working....., headlights are dim as &*%$&, boot plastics need replacing , clutch grab feels soft, brakes need changing. Bit of work to be done if we're honest....

Any sydney DA9'ers wanna help me? =]

[espionage85]

Missions lol
You'll get there, I did =)
when get my car back and I have time, I might pop around

[stevo716]

haha sounds alot like the work i did today.
shcoks and srpings all round brakes all round, new control arm bushes, new trailing arm bushes, new steering rack, and took the engine out of my old car..
think my master cylinder died when we were bleeding it :S

[supanoodle]

seriously the springs sound like an old corrugated roof on a shed when the wind blows too hard .
and handlings hopepless , just going around a roundabout the tyres squeal . =_=

Hey does supercheap still sell those DIN brackets? anyone have any experience with em? need to install sound system . the radio is driving me nuts .
ive heard the same shit every day
i will catch a grenade for ya , whos that chick, its in the water, arrgheee@#$&((@@#%*(

[stevo716]

cud be ur bushes man, springs dont usually make noise
theres the front upper camber arm bushes make alot of noise for me

[supanoodle]

gnaw great

I have no experience at all with bushes. Is there a writeup about DA9's and where/how to get em?

How much would I be looking at too?

Sorry im a complete noob when it comes to Honda's

[stevo716]

hammer and alot of frustration lol
proper way is with a press
pedders can do em

[slimx]

guys ive had this small rattling sound lately like as if theres a rock inside a tin can boucning around. After alot of research and asking a few ppl here and there i think ive come to the conclusion that it is the clutch throw out bearing? whatever that is..

When i press the clutch the noise is still there but MUCH MUCH quieter (the noise only comes in cold) and has been getting louder over the past few weeks, when warm .. (very rarely makes noise).

So yeh..
1. what is a clutch throw out bearing

2. is it pricey to fix? (roughly how much)

3. what happens if i dont fix it

[supanoodle]

im actually interested in this too as my car makes the same noise but regardless of cold or not...

[stevo716]

officially, transfered the rego into my name, even tho the problem i had with no compliance plate yay!! :)
let the mods officially begin

[slimx]

we'll get it fixed together :) if some1 replies lol

[mooshie]

cost f the actual bearing is like $50. but since you have to drop the gearbox to change it then may as well get your other bearings done (~$100) and a new clutch (whatever you want to pay! price varies widely) and about 3-4hrs in a workshop. good workshop price is $60 p/h so all up lets use about $400 as a guide.

[slimx]

what if u have a brand new clutch? my clutch is only 2 months old? do i have to change the hole thing again :S ?

U reckon the bearing would be covered under warranty? because i got it done professionally.. and i have warranty if the bearing is a part of the CLUTCH itself it should be free 4me :)

[stevo716]

thrust bearing shud be part of the cltuch kit, so warranty
spigot bearing prob wont be

[adriano10]

should i get a exedy sports organic or a heavy duty clutch? and rough price outline how it would be to buy not including install

[stevo716]

should i get a exedy sports organic or a heavy duty clutch? and rough price outline how it would be to buy not including install
hey man, tired to reply to ur pm but ur inbox was full,
i bought a exedy heavy duty, i got it trade price for around 500, for the kit

[supanoodle]

think the bearing will be completely seperate to the clutch , even tho both requires removing the box out they wont do it cause no issues with the actual clutch.
my clutch is really soft and the friction point is like ...how do i explain it..... (---------------) this long! lol when i drove my friends civic it was only (----) this long.

Is there any way of adjusting it? or should i just throw in an exedy.

slimx lemme know if u find any good workshops , more than happy to get it done together , maybe can get discount =D

[stevo716]

u can adjust it, the black knob thing on the gearbox where the clutch cable connects, tighten that see wat ahppens

[supanoodle]

i like how you put 'see what happens' lol
*squeakie squeakie tighten tighten* .... * BOOM!!!* =p

is it hard to access? never even seen where the cable is located =/

[adriano10]

i like how you put 'see what happens' lol
*squeakie squeakie tighten tighten* .... * BOOM!!!* =p

above the battery youl see the cable there

[adriano10]

anyone got a wrecked da????? need theses parts rear bar ,carpet and brake master cylinder =)

[stevo716]

lol u cant tighten it that much
underneath the intake pipe there be a black arm, thats the clutch arm, connected will be a pretty thick cable, thats the clutch cable, along that is a black knob.

[Rayle]

Guess who just scored all of this for $300?

but its series 1 lol

[mooshie]

Guess who just scored all of this for $300?

who?




where did you manage to pick that up from? pretty awesome score, looks like all 8 pieces and all in good nick too.

I paid $500 for my full kit about 3.5 years ago but it has a couple of fixable cracks in the front bar. Some day I'll actually get around to fitting it.

Still jealous, another kit would look good on the 6..

[slimx]

well my car is for sale...............

and i do have a FULL KIT :)
100% Original :) which im selling with the car lol

[Rayle]

Picked it up from the wreckers. When I went in to get the blower motor, I asked about a new front bar and they told me they had an optional front lip that was later revealed to be the whole kit! The boss said they'd bought about 150 DA9s, and only 2 had theoptional kit.

There's really only 1 crack that's on the rear lip but it's underneath, although some mounting hardware and a few clips are missing from here and there.

I don't suppose anyone wants to trade their Torino Red kit for this, otherwise I'll just paint it!

[mooshie]

Given that I have no room for another car and it is just a head**** to buy from interstate, I thought I would be kind and disclose what is up on carsales at the moment-

pretty cheap even if just for the engine! if anyone does decide to buy it I would be interested in parts....

pretty low k's
ive done fair bit of maintenance on mine now
and just manual converted
the engines rnt great
blocks is almost like the b18a
no girdles or anythin so wont handle high revs
pretty mild vtec cams as well

and wat parts u need?

[mooshie]

Its not about what I need, its about what I want :)

slim side bump strips, climate control etc, rear control arm, under hood lining, and more!

Having said that i have better things to spend money on at the moment, so hence not buying this car

Edit: just realised that the Auto B16 listed only revs to 7700rpm according to the tacho in the pic, My 6 goes out to 8000rpm, I didnt know that there was a difference with the autos?

[stevo716]

the tacho it self goes to 9, and it redlined at 7200,
just put my manual in and new ecu
i redline at 8 now xD

[ZCroofrack]

Just for info there are two DA9's at the Northern Rd wreckers between Windsor and Penrith. One is pretty much complete metallic grey, the other is fairly stripped out white, got the steering rack out of it today.

[ben11]

stevo what happened or is going to happen to the engine in your old da9?

[stevo716]

my b18a?
thats gettin built up even more, thats the engine i want in there eventually.
forged pistons, carbon moly rings, race bearings, ported, bigger valves, cams, titanium retainers, dual springs
few other things
hopin to make power to 10k

[ZCroofrack]

An interesting point I found out for the DA9 front suspension that may help you guys out.

Since the front upper suspension wishbone rubber mount bushes flog out from age and start squeaking/creaking, I took them out to get some new ones fitted.
Went to a suspension joint and they said none were listed for a DA9, so I asked them to get in some DC2 bushes and measure them up.

They fit! so it is now part DC2 type R. Got the urethane kit with offset pins so camber can be adjusted too. So of you need em, just get in the DC2 ones.

[mooshie]

swapped out the JDM filler neck with an AUDM one from the red car today. no more fuel leaking from the filler neck cos you cant get a cap to fit it!

JDM on the left, AUDM on the right.

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/1426/sam0066j.jpghttp://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4435/sam0065e.jpg

if only someone had done this years ago, then I wouldnt have a big patch of faded and rough paint on my rear quarter panel

[stevo716]

oem jdm cap ftw!!!!
i like cuz its got the anti tightenin stuff lol
clicks
l

[mooshie]

what does the OEM JDM cap look like? Mine had a replacement CPC cap that clicked as well but it didnt seal properly, pretty sure it was a replacement for a DA9. besides as you can see in the photo, the rim of the filer neck is actually separate and sealed with some kind of rubber/sealant that was all perished and coming out, you can actually see some of the seal on the flap in photo 2.

I guess my car is no longer fully genuine JDM :(

[stevo716]

ugh, maybe mine is replaced, but doesnt leak tho

question, what is the red light in below the handbrake one?
its look like somethin overheating
basicly since i did my manual conversion that light stays on

also in general,
my car seems to overheat regardless of that light,
ive changed my thermostat, theres no leaks, radiator is fine, thermos turn on.
the car seems to overheat after bitof thrashin, if u start driving normally it cools down, so that wat makes me think radiator works,
if u stop it starts overheatin again..
im running out of ideas, gonna put my gauges in a sec to check if its the sensor but yeh

[mooshie]

I doubt its the sensor as it is picking up a variable reading consistent with what you are doing.
Seems like the cooling capacity is reduced and hence it is overheating more easily.
Could be caused by-
Blockage in the airflow, easy to see and fix.
Air pockets or bubbles in the coolant, just do a proper bleed which I am sure you know how
Blockage in the coolant flow or radiator. These are old cars and even if this is its second replacement rad it could have some block by now.
You should be able to get it flow tested for pretty cheap at any radiator place, or just give it a reverse flush.

As for the light, I'll have a look tomorrow night but I think the one you are referring to has something to do with the emission control or O2 sensor.

[stevo716]

yeh ill try what u said, lol we broke somethin else on the cooling system so need to get that replaced, where the blled valve is,we actaully broke the metal its attached to
idk how but yeh

as with the sensor, wud it be somethin todo with that extra sensor we have on the exhaust cuz, i accidently pulled that out lol....
car still ran so didnt think much of it

[supanoodle]

Just for info there are two DA9's at the Northern Rd wreckers between Windsor and Penrith. One is pretty much complete metallic grey, the other is fairly stripped out white, got the steering rack out of it today.

anyone got most of the plastic panels they dont need? =]

did it look like it had most plastics in the back at the wreckers?

[ben11]

my b18a?
thats gettin built up even more, thats the engine i want in there eventually.
forged pistons, carbon moly rings, race bearings, ported, bigger valves, cams, titanium retainers, dual springs

nice will keep an eye on your build thread.

i got new skunk2 coilovers whats the lowest ride height which is daily drivable??

Yeah probably is that other sensor. The JDM B16 has 2 O2 sensors.

[espionage85]

Stevo, just out of curiosity, what box are you using?

[stevo716]

Stevo, just out of curiosity, what box are you using?
long ratio ys1 from the da atm,
i got a short ratio sittin at home, but need a clutch for it still and wanna rebuild it

[espionage85]

short ratio makes a mad difference
with the long ratio box youll drop out of v-tec when you change gears

[ZCroofrack]

{Quote 'anyone got most of the plastic panels they dont need? =]'

'did it look like it had most plastics in the back at the wreckers?' Quote}

One had the plastics in the back and interior last week....


On another note, my brothers DA9 is nearly complete, all work done by me in the shed, cuts and all! LS/VTEC (B18A bottom P30 CTR pistons, ARP bolts, GSR head)

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?117195-My-LS-VTEC-build-up

[stevo716]

short ratio makes a mad difference
with the long ratio box youll drop out of v-tec when you change gears
nah i dont drop out of vtec, it just has no torque lol

[FR33K]

The only way you won't drop out of VTEC is if you rev the **** off the engine and shift at lightning speed.. I've had both and the short ratio makes a world of difference !

[espionage85]

i must be a granny driver lmao...

[stevo716]

yeh i rev to 8k and short shifter and i can shift pretty well lol
short ratio will be goin in with my b18a which i shud have in there in a month with few other goodies on it :P
ill post the pics as i work on it

[DA9 integra]

Hey Guys. I have a 1990 DA9 that literally just clocked over 100,000 genuine kms. Im interested in knowing if there are any other DA9's that have kms this low or lower? From my brief search on carsales etc, it seems I have way less kms than any other for sale. (I bought it from a wealthy elderly man who had other vehicles, he hardly ever drove it)

good buy, i guess
ive got around 50000km on my motor n 250000km on the chassie lol
0km on my steering rack, suspension, bushes n gearbox =p

[DA9 integra]

Yeah most of the da9s ive seen on carsales have got between 250-300,000 kms. What motor did u put in?

[espionage85]

i put a b20 in, more torque =D
personaly i dont care to much about kms, the car is old so you have to expect high kms

[SuperJDM.]

any DA9s been up against EK4s EM1s etc etc B16s. Howd you go?

[stevo716]

yeh, i can beat em, but im not stock lol....

mines on 78K

[mooshie]

I am pretty excited.....

after years of waiting looks like Skunk2 have finally released the camber arm specific to the DA! I am embarking on a full suspension overhaul soon and looks like these are out at just the right time. no more crappy EBay arms.

Might wait for a couple of reviews before I get myself a set but they do look the goods.

http://cms.skunk2.com/id/634/90-93-Integra-Pro-Series-Camber-Kit/

[Chriskoss]

Damn they look good. Might get them for when I overhaul my sussy on the new teg I am getting tomorrow
Quick trivia for you guys
Is it worth paying $2,850 for a :
- 90 model teg
- good burgundy paint, paint is still glossy on 90% of the car
- only few dings and minor rust bubbling in rear 1/4 windows both L + R - no major dents/scratches
- 202,000 kms
- apparent changed timing belt at 200,000 but no way of knowing
- 6 months rego
- cold aircon and not very bumpy/rattly when driving
- clear revs check and vehicle history report
- Car's stock standard with OEM honda sound system (not lowered, no exhaust, standard air filter)

Bad point sare :
- the central locking doesnt work
- no service history

Thanks guys

Oh and, what DA Integra specific things should I look for when test driving her one last time before I hand over my hard earnt (borrowed) cash lol

<3 you all DA owners

<3 you all DA owners

wheres your white da9?
last i remembered you needed a steering rack?
i just got my steering rack re-conditioned and converted to no p/s (different gears to make steering lighter) for less than $300
$2850 for a da9 is pretty pricey IMO

[espionage85]

ok, wow just looked on carsales
our cars are still worth $2000+? lol

sorry, my oppinion was given because of the last 2 da's that ive purchased
1 was $500 with shit exterior but neat interior
1 was $1100 with immac interior good motor, but keyed all round

so yea after looking at carsales, $2850 is not bad

[mooshie]

a DA in good nick should still go for up to 4k, there are heaps that go for under 2 but they all have something wrong with them.

Couple of things to look at-
Take oil cap off and see if it is clean in the head
Trailing arm bushes
See if the air con etc belts are new, this would give an indication of the timing belt being done, should also be able to see if the valve cover has been removed, look for new gasket goo next to the camshaft seals
Check brake master cyliinder for leaks
Gearbox/driveshafts
Engine mounts
Tie rod and upper/lower front end ball joints
Wheel bearings
Steering rack
Dampness in passenger footwell

Meh, that's all I can think of now.. Just woke up (sad that this is the first thing I do...)

Central locking actuators are easy to test and replace if need be, pain if it is a deeper electical problem but unlikely.

[Chriskoss]

Thanks Mooshie

My white da9 was sold ages ago, but I miss them and want another

I thought about the DA for 2850 but decided not to get it as the interior was a little old and the central locking was not working.

Found another 90 model on carsales for 3100 with only 147,000 kms and log books, so I might go check out that and another one before I decide

The guy wanted me 2 put a deposit of 300 on it on the day, im like uhh I only got 100 and hes like nah 300 ay Im like for what reason a deposit's a deposit, hes like umm reasons.. Made me kinda suss

Also 1 more question

I can't remember if my old DA did this but do you guys get a burning rubber smell in the motor after a drive? when i test drove it I could smell burning rubber or oil, which obviously if burning oil means oil leak onto exhaust etc but I couldnt find any leaks

what else could it be

[ben11]

can anyone explain this, i was rolling my da down the driveway (engine off and in neutral) and a humming sound started to come from the brakes at the back on the right side, i stopped the car from rolling but the humming went on for a while? also i sometimes hear the same thing when i drive so does anyone know what it is?

thanks

[stevo716]

hand brake might be on a lil
take ur wheel off and spin it
see if u hear anythin

or ur rotor might be warped

[mooshie]

could be the stone guard or something rubbing and then when the car stops it still has a vibration and therefore noise in it?

it is the thin piece of sheet metal behind the brake rotor, just a guess though as I cannot think of anything else. Weird that it would do it when the car isnt moving

[ben11]

ahhk cheers, nah wouldnt be rotors they were machined pretty recently so yeah maybe the rotor guard or hand brake which is pretty loose atm

[vuonguz]

hey guys with the da9 when i drive the car it feels like the car struggles (when accelerating) like it kind of vibrates im not sure of the problem but maybe i needs a new clutch

[stevo716]

sounds fuel related
fuel filter?
if u put ur foot does it do it?
clutch when its goin
if ur giving it, itll just rev when ur not accelerating

[vuonguz]

hrmm fuel filter could be

[supanoodle]

how much do fuel filters go for these days? i might need to replace mine too

[supanoodle]

actually my issue is more like im going at crusing speed on 5th gear and when i shift down to 4th or third and give it the beans (only to overtake or whatever) i dont get any real power until i go past 4kRPM then it starts building up power like normal.
I dont think this is normal and it feels verry sluggish, though ive never driven any other DA9 before but any other car ive driven will be able to pick up speed and RPM at and constant so something is bugging the crap outta me that its not really pulling.
im starting to think the car has no gentleman vegetables anymore...

[stevo716]

das dont rele have much accel speed in 3rd or 4th
cuz of the gearboxes
check ur timing as well tho

[espionage85]

clean your injectors and change your fuel filter

[vuonguz]

yeah i was actually thinking it may be the injectors and the fuel filter...

have u guys seen this on ebay what you guys reckon http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FRONT-CAMBER-COILOVER-SPRING-90-1993-HONDA-INTEGRA-/120627807302?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1c15fa4446#ht_3959wt_1139

i dont recommned workin this engine rele, but i just wanted somethin different.
just do ur I/H/E, i reckon

rims and lower and itll look sweet

umm im runnin koni yellows, adjustable damper, i like em :)

im gonna dump my car soon enough on the skunk2 springs i got, there pretty low

but yeh i recommend konis there awesome, if u can find some used ones there alrite

if u just want lower and dont rele care bout handling as much

i had skunk2 springs on standards shocks made a decent low.

[vuonguz]

i care about suspension but for the mean time im gonna try the kings springs that i bought for 70 bucks

[ben11]

guys my oil light stays on for about a second after starting the car, oil level is good if not a little overfull. anyone had this before a quick search said oil sending unit is faulty..

[stevo716]

is based on low oil pressure, mine stays on for bit too,
then turns off
long not turning on while driving say ur fine

[menacer]

yea mine does it too, not a problem unless it stays on. or as stevo said comes on while driving, lots of cars (especially those with a few hundred on the clock) will have light come on for a sec or 2 while engine builds oil pressure.

[ben11]

thanks, mines got low kms though :/

[espionage85]

I got a brand new Holden cruiz and that does it also, so don't stress about it

[menacer]

thanks, mines got low kms though :/

still wouldn't worry not unless it on for more than 5 or so seconds.

ill be buyin there soon
hehe

[supanoodle]

i just got quoted $299 bucks for shipping...

i'd rather order from JDMyard.....

[mooshie]

just though I would post up a few pics of what I am spending my time on at the moment, I should start a build thread one day-

Traction bar install, interesting to note that the bar including all bolts etc saves 3kg in weight-
http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/4417/sam0192d.jpg

Aluminium Fluidyne radiator, fans are in a weird place to make room for the turbo-
http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/8702/sam0204h.jpg

Turbo on its way out and once I get a couple of minor issues sorted a GT3071R will be going in-
http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/5130/sam0208k.jpg

my workspace-
http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/5662/sam0226i.jpg

unfortunately the 'minor issues' probably wont be sorted out until Tuesday as it takes a while to get parts, so she is going to have to sit there limp and on stands for a while. Aside from that, all that is left to do is modify the wastegate actuator bracket to give me more room and then everything can go back in ready for a tune.

[stevo716]

i like the traction bar, i got one on the way as well :)

[blabla]

[Rayle]

Mooshie man, that is one sweet workspace...

[mooshie]

It was one of the reasons we bought this house (dont tell my missus that...) there is a double carport in front of the garage and the lounge room and study is on top plus a small storage room off to the left of that photo.
I have a small garden shed waiting for me to pick up so that i can get all the damn garden equipment out of there, its all stored on the other side of the red car at the moment.

seriously, after years of renting and although I always had double garages, it is so good to have a workbench, vice, and room in front of the cars to work in rather than either having to move one car out or work in the driveway.

[vuonguz]

do u have a hoist aswell kos the the grey da looks like its up some how doesnt seem like jackstands

[mooshie]

I wish... I just use the jack in the photo, it goes up to 500mm which is abut the highest I could find anywhere for under $200. Use the jack points at the front where the tow hook is and do one side at a time with a smaller jack to just support it when you move the big one so there is not too much of an angle with only one stand underneath

[stevo716]

hey mooshie, wats the light underneath the handbrake light mean? on the da6
i know its connected to that sensor on the exhaust
its been coming on sometimes? just wonderin wat it means

[stocky]

hey mooshie, wats the light underneath the handbrake light mean? on the da6
i know its connected to that sensor on the exhaust
its been coming on sometimes? just wonderin wat it means

It's for the catalytic converter, it connects to the sensor just behind the cat with a simple circuit directly to the dash. The sensor loses continuity when there is a problem with the cat, usually excessive temperature causing the orange light on the dash to illuminate.

[stevo716]

yeh i was thinkin that, cuz it turns off sometimes, cheers man
any that will fuk immediately, like i shud fix, cuz i got another engine goin in soon, so not in any rush to fix it lol

[mooshie]

when you do your engine install, I assume you will be getting a new exhaust to compliment it, should solve your problem if you get a new cat as well.

[stevo716]

ah yeh i am lol
and obd1 lol, that light goes bye bye
i was just curious

[stocky]

ah yeh i am lol
and obd1 lol, that light goes bye bye
i was just curious

It doesn't go through the ecu, it will stay on regardless of ecu or cat. Ground the wire either underneath the car or as it goes through the car underneath the drivers seat

[stevo716]

yeh, when i put my exhuast on im gonna need to,
it goes under the console actually ive accidently cut it before, and traced it there

[mooshie]

Grrr.. ****in spewing right now.

Just broke an exhaust manifold stud off in the head while I was putting everything back together, that'll teach me for trying to do it by feel instead of using the torque wrench.
wouldnt you know it, Honda has none in stock in SA and cant get one till Friday, I have the thread fix man coming tomorrow morning to get the old one out but damn its going to be an expensive lesson.

I wonder if I could get the thread man to remove a stud from my B18A head I have laying around and use that?

frustrating thing is, everything is ready to go, finished all the custom work I had to do etc and now I have time off and cant put it all in the car

Edit: just checked part numbers and they are the same for both heads. I have a few generic studs laying around too but I would rather go genuine for something like this (superstitious!)

[stevo716]

haha just use generic man, i had to extend intake ones cuz of the gasket i put on it
but yeh b18a ones shud be same
use emm :P
ive borken exhaust ones just removing them, no fun lol

[mooshie]

Little update. Thread man came this morning and took the broken stud out with no issues then got the badly rounded nut off the manifold on the red car and took out one of those studs all up cost $88 which is not bad considering they come to you, great bloke too. Even put the stud into the head for me.

Aside from that, got the turbo all installed with modified wastegate actuator braket, got the radiator installed with all kinds of custom brackets to hold it and the fans in place. There is so little room in the front of a DA for turbo and a bigger radiator its not funny.

Just got to refill and bleed coolant, mount up the traction bar, do a stringline alignment, pressure up the oil and then she should be right to start. Tuning will be in a couple of weeks. I have taken heaps of pics along the way, might have to do a couple of writeups when I get a chance.

[stevo716]

zuututututuut
haha looks sweet man
good job

[string]

Do you need to get the traction bar engineered?

[mooshie]

No idea.
Probably should given that I have removed and replaced a structural part of the car.

[stevo716]

idk its prob a bit iffy, cuz dc2s dont run that bar,
is ur turbo engineering? cuz that bars least of ur worries haha

[mooshie]

no but the DC2 is a slightly different setup.

[stevo716]

yeh true ah well
doubt theyll notice there used to be a chunky ass thing there lol
ive got my bar coming soon too lol

[string]

No idea.
Probably should given that I have removed and replaced a structural part of the car.

That's exactly what I was implying. It's like aftermarket engine mounts; structural parts which specifically haven't been ADR tested.

An engine mount is far less conspicuous than a big shiny replacement crossmember.

I don't have a turbo so I don't need all that crossmember space. I just replaced the standard OEM rubber bushing with a spherical from Progress.

[mooshie]

I have a contact to get the car all engineered up and have the cash, but at the moment the next job is replacing all bushings, balljoints etc and renew the suspension setup. Engineering is the next step after that. SA is a bit different than the other states in that we dont have inspections, just cops can pull you over. In 11 years of driving a modified car that only happened once and he let me off anyway, didnt believe me when I told him it was a '91!

what is this on the da9 on the roof

these things are a pain to get here in aust mine came from canada lol havnt seen another DA with the sunroof visor yet but its functional when it rains etc unless u break then water falls in

holy s**t rocky where u been haha

[kikxz]

ive been in isolation lol got quiet on the forums n stuff so i once in a while skim through things haha how have you been man?

[stevo716]

haha fair call, yeh not bad
grey da9 got written off so now im crusing in a burgundy da6 haha
alot of work on the books too shud be good
how bout u?

[kikxz]

shit man how the hell did that happen? haha are you gona build the vtecaaaaaa or are you slapping the b18 into it....

Yeah my car just got back onto the road after a bloody defect screwed me over hard so now its back to semi stock for the time being lol

[stevo716]

haha im slappin the b18 bro, vtec gettin me round for now, loud, but i want the torque the b18 had haha
there was hard brakin infront of me, i stopped just in time 10cm of bumper of guy infront, chick behind me didnt, rammed me hard, sandwiched into next guy, then he got pushed into next one
but my engine and shit was fine, so im buildin that more atm, while i vtec it haha

[mooshie]

Hey Stevo, your inbox was full so I posted on here hope its ok...
I just had a look and their website has all the different variants and their dimensions including the dimensions of the control unit near the top of the page. just make a mock up out of cardboard and see how it fits..
http://www.xforce.com.au/about-varex-remote-control-sports-muffler.php

[stevo716]

yeh soz dude, it gets full soo quikcly when u start sellin stuff lol
thanks man will do
hmm the actuall muffler one looks interesting, it might fit where the current rear muffler is, just height is rele the only prob

edit* ok lil more research later i find out its 220mm in height from the motor
basicly height clearance is my prob, ill have to see how tall the stock one is or how much room in the chassis
but it rele wet right now outside and dark so itll have to wait haha

[kikxz]

yeh ive got the 2.5 inch inlet and 4 inch outlet varex cannon waiting to be put onto my car it should fit as the motor isnt that big the whole cannon is almost normal size

[stevo716]

yeh ive got the 2.5 inch inlet and 4 inch outlet varex cannon waiting to be put onto my car it should fit as the motor isnt that big the whole cannon is almost normal size

let me know how u go man,
see if u get many scrappy probs, like ground clearance, goin into drive ways and stuff

[kikxz]

lol i did with the old cannon man same size but that was ridiculous low it became flat on the bottom... but if you set it at a normal height you would prob receive scrapes man but ill let you know

[DA9-47]

hi guys im new,

I have a DA9 LS B18A1 5 speed, engine has 255 xxx ks on it and runs abit sick so i just bought a DA9 auto with an immaculate B18A1 with 160 xxx ks on it, so i want to take the engine out of the manual shell and replace it with the engine from the auto shell.

Questions:

# will the auto engine bolt onto the manual gearbox without cutting or drilling?

# is this nearly the same as converting an auto DA9 into a manual, but not having to worry about installing clutch and pedal? just go straight to the engine gearbox part of the conversion?

# is there a guide for this?

any help would be great
Thanks guys

[stevo716]

Hey man, welcome
everythin will bolt up normally
only thing is, if there both series 1 or 2.
what year are the cars?
if both cars are same year, then its straight swap

basicly take engine out, take auto off engine,
take other engine out, take manual off, take flywheel clutch off. put flywheel clutch manual on good engine, and bolt it back in.
its a bit of work, if ur mechanically minded its quite doable,
also convertin auto da to manual, isnt easy haha, ive done it before
but a straight engine swap shud be fine.
theres a service manual on the web somewhere to, help a lil.
itll tell u how to remove engine, and torque specs.
while doin this id get a new clutch
but basicly if any of this worries u a lil, go to a workshop and get it done, but couldnt begin to tell u how much itd cost

[DA9-47]

hey dude,

cheers for the info,

i was thinking it should be straight forward, just needed sum expert DA9 advice =P

i know I'm gonna be back hear real soon with another question, lol

until then =)

[stevo716]

haha thats cool man bring the questions thats why where here

[mooshie]

The year only really matters for which clutch you get, early years are different to the 92-93.
Give the engine a good service before you put it in as well, new seals, timing belt, water pump etc. Do it now and it can save a lot of mucking around down the track

[stevo716]

i meant more for obd0 and obd1
clutch wont matter, becuz his using the same gearbox regardless

[DA9-47]

hi mooshie , both my Da's are '90' will be doing as much as i can to the engine before it goes in , besides timing belt, water pump ,oil/fuel filter,sparkies and leads, anything else you can think of?? and are there many seals to replace?

trying to find extractors and a bigger throttle body to slap on also.
i had a pipe welded up to replace the old intake when i got the manual DA9 3 years ago , but its the same length as stock box, so i was gunna extend it down through that hole under the stock box, is that the best place to have your pod?

thanks mate

i got the car manual online and printed it out, it's my bible atm lol,

[DA9-47]

hi guys =)
well to clear a few things up guys, both DA's are built in '89' , are same engine(B18A1) to the tee, bar the tranny, i have a heavy duty clutch in the manual gear box ,and it feels ok still, but i think i'll take your advice and put a new clutch in as i cant be bothered doing this twice. Now i've been trying my very hardest to understand the whole obd0 and obd1 thing and im not quite getting it.now i understand that if i swap a motor other than the original, in my case ill need to change my obd thing( lol soz) , but because i have the same engine , and they run off the same computer, i dont need to upgrade, but if i wanted to tune my car to suit the mods that i do/way that i drive, then i have to upgrade???, i was looking on the Hondata web site and they say i need to upgrade to a s100 or sumthing??
From personal experience guys, is upgrading my computer worth it? is it hard? and what kind of $$$ am i looking at??

thanks again guys

[mooshie]

Duh, sorry forgot about OBD0/1. Stevo is right, should be a drop in swap if they are both the same year. I was only thinking mechanically not electrically

As for the computer, you only need to change that if you have modifications that affect the tuning. You will see a benefit even on a stock motor but bang for buck there are better things to spend money on first.
Personally I would get- CAI,exhaust, cat, header, cams, computer, throttle/intake manifold, internals etc etc. In that order. Purchase price is about $500 on an S100 second hand then about $600 for tuning

[stevo716]

if same year no need to change ur computer everythin will build up,
id change sump gasket, and check the rear main seal, not that hard to change,
then rocker cover gasket, and the spark plug ones, theres good kits in america for around 100 dollars that come with alot of gaskets
oxy sensor is always good to replace, even tho there lil expensive around 90 bucks if i remember correctly.
check the pipe at the back that connects from water pump to thermostat, if hasnt corroded that like to leak, pretty much check all the hoses see if there still rubbery if too hard change em, same deal with gaskets rele.

i can help with exhaust part of deal got one for sale hi flow and 2 1/4 piping ;)

once u start moddin alot, as mooshie said, id only rele tune once u start changing internals such as cams, anythin that huge changes air flow, then its recommened to change to odb1
but with I/H/E, thers no need to tune

Good luck man

They will fit, but by the time you factor shipping in to that price you may as well just buy local.

ok i got a few Q's hehehe

your opinion on how to make a DA9 a 2 seater and look neat?

anyone have a good DIY on how to make a boot floor to go over the spare tyre?? i tried and failed baddly, need a nice flush one, that locks in or somthing,

[DA9-47]

ooo ooo and one more......

If i extend my intake through that hole that leads in front of the front drvrs wheel well, how would i do this and make sure no water would be sucked up into the motor when it rains?

Thanks Guys =)

[stevo716]

take out complete interior, get rid of most wires, and put some bars in
but apparently its illegal idk....
oh and the water pump is rele annoyin lol, loud, ive completely stripped out back for racing, annoyin to drive lol, SOOO loud

make sure the cover is on at the bottom, lil rain wont do anythin nor will lil puddles, just dont drive through flood waters.
ive been runnin a cai for a while now, even through the fllods we had, i just disconnected the intake from the top and drove home haha

[DA9-47]

i just disconnected the intake from the top and drove home haha

Ahahahahah, nice improvisation ,
someone told me that you can get a waste gate or somthing? (us Noob's beleive anything we are told)but if u made it threw that weather i shud b right

Well i rang Vic Roads to ask what they thought about the whole going a 2 seater, they said it doesnt require a engeneers cert unless you are adding to the standed amount of passengers you can carry , but in saying that i drove around with a hollow rear for about a month, and i liked it , didnt think it was loud, but then stock exhaust .............not custom =)))

wanna make it neat , wanted a cross bar , custom side plastic pannels, and carpet throughout the whole rear if that would work.

[stevo716]

haha it wasnt the exhaust that bugged me, was the fuel pump wirring
dont go carpet in imo, the metal look is hawt, track spec, with bars sittin there xD
then just cover ur rear lights from the inside, cuz they reflect alot and are annoyin

[DA9-47]

K last question, for now lol

what options do I have in means of intake manifold/ throttle body upgrades? Any stock upgrades or recomended aftermarket upgrades and aprox price?

Cheers guys

[stevo716]

skunk2 intake manifold round 400 shipped on ebay (i got one)
ive got a blox tb 66mm, imo its shit i wanna go skunk2
and there bout 350shipped on ebay, i wanna go to 68mm
with these ull need a tune to benefit from them and cams
stock upgrade, none rele cuz vtec intake manifolds dont fit
but with tb, maybe type r one, but idk wat size it is

[simmy]

anyone got info on b18a2 engine? its ona ls 91 integra da9...

[stevo716]

u actually got an engine stamp that says b18a2??
just had a quick research dont think itll have vtec, i reckon itll be like the series 1 b18a1 (cuz 91, so odb0), just diff number due to different domestic market, i think thats edm
like say b18c2 and b18c1 are exactly the same i believe, but ones audm and the other usdm.

[simmy]

yeah thats what i thought too, some guys selling one interested in it haha

[espionage85]

I'm contemplating parting out my da9, it's still in the workshop and hasn't been driven yet.
-b20vtec built with internals,
- custom close ratio cable gearbox with ek9 and dc2r internals including 4.7 final drive,
- dc2r 5 stud break upgrade
- ry-wire wireing harness (all tucked)
...and more....

that motor in my eg civic with an ek9 box ran mid 13's 3/3 runs
