Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

[stevo716]

<.< maybe haha

[Rayle]

If you decide to part, I'm probably interested in your headers and complete exhaust! You've had so much bad luck...

[stevo716]

ah yeh cool, ive had other ppl interested in it too.
well headers and exhuast are going anyway. cause its either ks ereis or boosted b series soo yeh.

[stevo716]

Hey guys, im thinking bout parting out the car fully.
maybe as full rolling shell first. think it may be time to move on, so any interest in parts let me know

[mooshie]

Interested in everything!

[DA9-47]

dibs on traction bar, coils, all electrical shiat, =)

[stevo716]

Hey guys, ive decided to part out

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?160353-My-da6-part-out....

sooo go nuts... lol

[maaaaark]

im going hydraulic with my engine swap, what motor mounts will i need to purchase and retain??? thanks

[stevo716]

innovative mounts website, your chassis year and hydrolic mount kit
http://www.innovativemounts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=49350
or
http://www.innovativemounts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=49351

if u can retain ur front itll save u costs otherwise ull need this
http://www.innovativemounts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=19340

but from expierience the front seems to die the quickest, and soon as that dies, it tends to kill your others.

[menacer]

ok guys so i finally got all my suspension gear off the lounge room floor and installed on the teg. so far so good.
now im looking at getting a traction bar as i need to more caster and im still having some traction issues, also figure extra clearance will be good when it gets boosted at the end of the year.
so my question(s) are
1. what brands do you recommend?
2. how much of a difference do they make?
3. do i need to modify or replace any other components to fit one?

thanks in advance.

[stevo716]

Hey, I bought explicit speed performance one
Awesome thing replaces front mount, and castor rods, so plenty of adjustment
Custom made any colour u want, perfect fit too no modding needed

[mooshie]

I have a Full-Race on the DA9T. very solid and simple design with 2 mounting points- where the tow hook bolts to the side of the chassis rail and also where the stock crossmember fits to the underside of the chassis rail. Includes front mount for the DA9 which some others dont have. it is a simple bolt on affair although you do lose the tow hooks, you can still wrap a rope around that end of the bar if required. Very good quality but you do pay for it, I was lucky enough to get mine second hand but never fitted to a car.

They add a massive amount of room to the front of the bay and will make fitting a downpipe much easier, watch how low they hang under the car however as this can be an issue if you are really low with these bars. In terms of performance, it made a huge difference, car feels a lot more solid and sure on the turn in to a corner.

[menacer]

thanks guys. yea have been looking at the full race item and it seems like what im after... the reasoning behind their design makes sense... dont think height will be too much of an issue having seen the pics on their website.. dont really wanna drop that many dollar bills on one but my current castor issues make for a scary drive, and its gonna help later...
Any pics of yours online mooshie?

[stevo716]

U can adjust castor on the stock bar
Not as simple then with a traction bar, u gotta change washers and stuff

[stevo716]

Also describe wat ur feeling, I can't picture in my mind castor causing that much trouble

[menacer]

yea looked at that but you can only shim lca back i need to bring it forward. one side is negative and the other is almost neutral...

as for how it feels imagine a shopping trolley at high speed...

[stevo716]

hmm, that sounds like when screwed up my toe in the car.....
tyres startin screechin goin straight and when u turned wheels felt rele loose

if ones in negative, meaning ur bushes have gone? try replacing them first maybe?
just compared to spending $500 on a traction bar :P

[menacer]

yea thought about it but traction bar will make life easier at turbo time.

[stocky]

Ive got a set of adjustable castor rods from my previous setup that I can sell you, it will allow a fair bit of castor adjustment. Im using a ktuned traction bar with heim joints, its noisy but solid

[menacer]

nah tis all good bud will go with traction bar me thinks...

anyway on another topic aftermarket headlights... are there any options in the country or is it usa all the way?
if so how well do they work over here, as in do they point close enough to the right spot?

[menacer]

^^any input would be much appriciated on this one guys...

[mooshie]

why do you want aftermarket ones? OEM looks best me thinks on an otherwise standard looking car (post up some pics?) there is nothing local, but plenty of options available from eBay or US online stores, IMO dont get the projectors! the clear ones with either chrome or black housing look ok though. I believe that you will need to do some minor re wiring as they are designed to replace the USDM glass headlights but pretty easy to figure out. I would think that they should be adjustable enough that you could correct them to the right angle and not be high beaming them cos they are designed for the other side of the road.

[mooshie]

thought I would post up some pics of my recent purchases thanks to Stevo, lookingforboost and kikxz.

Whiteline 18mm solid rear swaybar, 1,6kg for the standard item and i can bend it with my hands as compared to 3.5kg for this thing and stiff as.. Thought I would try it out for a while before upgrading to an ASR setup sometime in the future. makes a HUGE difference to the handling of the car, I cant believe I lasted so long without one..

Type R S80 '98 internals, need a new final drive but they including LSD will be going in to the YS1 case from Stevo. Also full trailing arm setup with replaced RTA bush

http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/9219/sam1829e.jpg


JG Edelbrock VictorX manifold and 68mm TB, hopefully will be good for the turbo top end, low down torque is not an issue so can afford to lose the dual stage runners
http://img407.imageshack.us/img407/8864/sam1836m.jpg


and my new very slow project... needs a lot of work but already has a B16A, just wanted something unique and have to feed my DA obsession! working on getting it registered in SA at the moment, major issues are 3rd gear crunch and rear main seal needs replace, fix dodgy repair job on the rear quarter panel and replace trailing arm bushes (hence other purchase..) although i didnt know that at the time! bad photo but yes there are 4 doors.
http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/8969/sam1825x.jpg

also got some aftermarket visors and a couple of other bits and pieces. aside from the sway bar, nothing else much is going to happen while I work on the DA5 and try I am supposed to be saving money for a 6 week trip to China in August, then getting married in Feb, hopefully I get a good bonus this year so I can afford to fix all this up before installing!

[Bludger]

what you doing with old y1?

[mooshie]

At this stage it will be staying in the car at least until September, needs a bit of fixing up itself but still runs ok for the time being. After that, dont really know, I will probably have fixed up the J1 from the 5 by then so probably wont have a need for it anymore

I'm on the lookout.

[mooshie]

no worries, got a S1 from the red LS i need to get rid of... if you like looong ratios! thinking about taking the 5th gear from that and putting it with the other S80 gears, with the 4.7 final drive it should do about 3500-3600 at 110kmh I reckon as compared to about 3800-3900 for the Type R 5th?

i agree most of the aftermarket ones look gay n no im not keen on going projector either, mostly wanting to run standard h4 globes and figure if im having to pull headlights out and modify globe mounts might as well get some new ones while im at it...
looking at these...

but not sure yet might just end up getting some factory ones and modding them...

[Rayle]

Wow mooshie, a DA5 with b16a, thats farking sick! More details about the window visors please, I'm looking for a set. HIC by any chance?

[mooshie]

at the risk of sounding like a real noob what is HIC?

the visors are just ebay aftermarket ones, nothing special.. and seriously overestimating the car! its very much a project thats going to take a while to complete. thanks though, I'll post some better pics soon

[Rayle]

Oh, just some company that makes aftermarket ones for the DA. Would you mind posting the ebay link? I can't seem to find them.

Your DA5 just seems rare as hell, pretty much the only other localish 4 door I've seen had a SOHC engine. Was it the same one that was posted up many pages back, owner wanted $8k or something?

[mooshie]

Ah, the visors I got second hand so no idea what brand or where from originally, if you pm kikxz he might know.

The car is a repaired vehicle with new VIN and B16 is a conversion, conversion has been done well though with all emission regs etc and the car passed the ID checks here so the numbers are all legit. I got it a lot cheaper than 8k... Let's put it this way, the car was less than all of the other parts combined! They aren't common and just couldn't pass up the opportunity, even with it's problems I could sell the engine etc for more than the car cost me or use for my own parts.

[jforsta]

Teggy just got new shoes! Kosei K4R's from the States 12.8lbs per corner + only 17lbs tires. Feels great, just thought I'd share :) Finally retired the trusty 14's!

hey guys, need your help.. Im doing a b18c2 swap and going hydraulic with it. ive got the innovative cable to hydro...

my mechanic says my clutch cable is too short.

1) what cable do i use in this case?? he's saying that the clutch cable for american cars are on the left side thats why its short

he is also having trouble with the dizzy wiring for the b18c, I am running and obd0-obd1 harness

2) I dont know what the hell is he saying , i thought everything would be all good?

[adriano10]

Any one wrecking a da9 standard or even after market cat back ?

[mooshie]

Not sure on what cable to get, as I would think the DA one would be the longest available? Could get a LHD one and modify to fits rom eBay?

Personally I would go with a Hush22 or Suja1 full hydro conversion. The Innovative an Hasport kits are just a stop-gap solution and don't give the benefits of the hydro system. They are cheaper though.

What is the specific issue with the dizzy?

Make a bracket and mount the adaptor to the side of the gearbox, thats how I have done it in a CRX and DA. Also, if you have climate control, the hush and suja kits dont work, theres no room under the dash.

Did you get the ODB0-ODB1 harness for the distributor as well as the ECU? The ODB0 and OBD1 distributor plugs themselves are physically different, but if you search on g2ic there's a thread that tells you how to rewire the plug quite easily.

If you've also got the distributor harness, there shouldn't be a problem...

[ben11]

not on topic at all but its been a while since Ive been on since I sold the teg and got an ae86 haha, but cheers for all the help fellow da9ers. I would happily get another one.. first dibs on mooshies if and when he sells it

Hey guys i need help with my swap.. Did you ever encounter a cel on the ecu. The ecu could not detect the vss since the cluster is a cable and not electronic...are there any da clusters that are electronic???? I need help.. Fml

you need to swap your DA sending unit on to your hydraulic gearbox and then take the signal from the VSS which is on the rear of the cluster

short answer is yes.

hey guys , is a obd1 vtec cluster a plug and play affair when i put it on my non vtec da?

if its a da cluster it should plug and play

Only difference is the higher redline, should just swap straight in. Standard cluster goes up to 8000 in the red area anyway so don't bother!

Hi guys,
I was wondering if the 88 model integras airbox assembly will fit in a DA9? If not does anyone has an airbox and rear hatch struts for sale?

Where are you located? No clue about the '88 air box, but something tells me it won't fit. If you're in Melbourne, I have a spare air box with resonator and intake arm.

So I'm currently in the process of putting my 89 LS integra no the road, and I have run into some issues with rear bushes. I need some rear inner lower trail arm bushes, rear lower control arm bushes, inner and outer, and some sway bar D bushes. So far no one in my area can provide me with these items. Can anyone point me in the right direction where I can get these items quickly!

[mooshie]

Not sure what you mean by 'inner lower trailing arm bush' I assume you are just talking about the big trailing arm bush.You will need to be prepared to pay a lot if you want them quickly and for that, Honda would probably be the quickest. Although if you can find a DA/DC set in good condition just swap the whole thing! The sway bar bushes you should be able to get polyurethane from any suspension place, they are fairly generic just need right size. Control arm bushes are the same as DC Integra items and a coulple of traders on here do them in a few different forms. Or, you could just get a whole aftermarket arm.

Another option is to just get a Energy Suspension or Prothane kit from the US.

BTW- would help to know what 'your area' is...

[lo0se3r]

Hey guys,

I have a few question / problems that I need your help to point me in the right direction.
1) Firewall leak, have anyone fix this problem before with OEM parts?
I've been living with the leak for almost 3 years (the worst is during winter), and now decided to fix it for my own good.
Can anyone please provide me with a shop/link which we can get the parts below? (how much did it cost you?) Or I will need to look for it from USA?
The parts listed are:
8 rubber seal 91608-SJ6-003
6 CAP-SCREW ASSEMBLY 91501-SK7-013
7 LOWER RIVETS 91511-SK7-003 (not really needed, but good to change all in one go)
8 CLIP SCREWS 90657-SA6-003

2) My rear window demister failed (similarly, for almost 3 years, maybe longer). Have anyone fixed this before? Do I need to modify the ICU?

Hope you guys can help me out. Thanks a lot

[FoodTray]

Not sure where to purchase locally but if all fails,
http://www.oemacuraparts.com
should have it all.

[mooshie]

I did this job last year on the 6. Pretty sure the parts are relatively inexpensive even from Honda, would probably be cheaper to get from the US but whatever for a few dollars. You only actually need to replace 2 on the driver side and 4 on passenger side, the others don't drain into that wrong spot.

And yes, fix the ICU, G2IC has a write up but can't find it at the moment

[d-train]

Mooshie, I'm in Geelong, Victoria. I'm only dealing with what the clowns at the RWC place write on the list not to mention the non helpful people at Autobarn here. Pedders apperantly have some kits..The aftermarket control arms don't had the sway bar attachment so not sure how it would handle if I went down that path.

[mooshie]

Ah fair enough, not sure on anywhere that could assist around the Geelong area sorry...

All aftermarket control arms that I have seen have holes for the sway bar? Might just have to get different endlinks to make it all work though, TBH if you take off the arms yourself, the bushings should only cost about $10-20 each to get swapped over, most auto shops should have a suitable press. Lot cheaper that way.

[d-train]

Your right Mooshie, I'll have to modify the end links to make it all work. Honda quoted me a ridiculous price for the control arm bushes, and so far the best price I can get is around the $120 mark for the 4 I need. So the aftermarket ones are looking pretty good right now. Also has anyone fitted S2000 seats in a DA9?

[menacer]

hey guys, need sum info fast.. 1993 da9, will this be obd1 wiring n ecu or still obd0?

[Rayle]

It will be OBD1.

[menacer]

ok thanks. i thought that was the case but also thought it should have hydraulic clutch but doesnt... :/

[Rayle]

Nah, no DA came from the factory with a hydraulic clutch. They're all cable.

[menacer]

if its obd1 what should engine code be? b18a2 or still b18a1???

[menacer]

^^ anyone??

[mooshie]

Should still be B18A1 although there are fabled B18A2 engines that I have heard of but never seen!

[engkong]

Hey guys I got a DA9 with very spongy brake pedal feeling. I have checked everything and almost got everything that I needed (new rotors, pads, fluids, and braided lines.)
So here's my question, is someone here had tried to put a brake master cylinder + booster from another car?? (eg. from dc2/4, or civics)
It's pretty hard to find the replacement in my area and Honda quoted me for around 400 bux.

DC2/4will bolt straight in if you replace the booster and MC and is the 15/16th size same as your current one. All you need to do is re bend your brake lines a bit to match up to the outlets on the MC which are in a slightly different location. If you are upgrading to larger calipers you will want to upgrade to a 1" DC2R booster/MC and process is same as above.

Tbh, you will only be getting another second hand setup anyway so what's the point? (unless you are upgrading) plus replacing the booster is a pain.. I think you would be better off just rebuilding your current MC if that is even causing the issue. Unfortunately I cant get info at the moment but if you google search for how to test an Integra booster and master cylinder there are a lot of instructions to figure out whe the fault lies

Hey guys, was going to post a thread in the Suspension section but figured I'd try here first.

I initially had my mind set on getting Skunk2 springs (2" drop all round) off of eBay ($300 delivered) and running them on stock shocks.

I've read in numerous threads that lowered springs on stock shocks will kill the shocks fairly quickly?

What about these? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SKUNK2-Sport-Shocks-Coilovers-90-93-Integra-DA5-9-DB1-2-/250699939374?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a5ee17e2e#ht_2673wt_1163

They're a bit above what I wanted to spend, but do it once, do it right I guess haha.

depends how old the shocks are and if there oem if your wanting a good setup u can get some sleeves on some good shocks or just get a set of coilovers

[93Integra]

OEM shocks, I'm assuming they haven't been replaced.

Searched around a bit more, now thinking Ground Control kit with Tokico Illumina's/Koni Yellows.

Quite expensive but from what I've read, it's the best setup for street cars.

Anyone had any experience with these?

[menacer]

I'm running koni's. have been very hapy so far.. good balance between dealing with crap roads and firm controlled ride..

[FR33K]

I went with the ground control/Koni yellow combo back in the day and I was pretty impressed. You can also customize your spring rate when you order, however I went off the shelf (can't remember the specs). Wasnt rough but wasnt smooth either... Obviously depends on height, wheel size etc.

Some pics below.... Strongly suggest you don't go with standard shocks you will regret it.

22597

22598

22599

[93Integra]

Any problems with scraping at that height FR33K? That's essentially the height I'm after.

Spring rate I'm undecided, I had a 31 with Tien coilovers, 10kg F and 8kg R, way too solid for a daily.

I think stock rates are 8 and 6? From ebay for everything it will be just under a grand so I want to make sure its the right choice lol.

[FR33K]

The front probably scrubbed a little when turning only because I didn't remove the plastic lining under the guard.

honestly im over it, took to long to get it completed, and time to buy a house.

car turns on, only drove it home from the tuner and is very quick.
heres what it has....

b20/b16 vtec motor (new gaskets top to bottom, timing belt, seals, waterpump, everything changed) 30000kms put on it my eg civic..
power will not be revealed
it did run mid 13's 3/3 tho in my eg civic with full street trim n street tyres..
custom cable gearbox with ek9 and dc2r internals with 4.7 final drive
Ry-wire mil spec harness convert from obd0 - obd1
HONDATA s200 tuned
exedy sports organic clutch i think it is..
lightened flywheel
dc2r 5 stud brake upgrade (not installed yet)
reconditioned steering rack, converted to NON P/S
dc2r rear LCA's x2 and suspension (not installed yet)
blox rear camber arms running -5.5 deg
buddyclub racing spec exhaust system from dc2r, customised to fit da9.. (tip comes out on the right side)
ITR japspec steering wheel (non airbag)
ITR shift boot
ITR gear knob
DA9 cluster with DA6 rev meter installed for longer rev range
sr3 recaros (not installed)
93 front bar
xxr wheels 15x8 0 offset

car is still unpainted, as it sat at a workshop for almost more than 2 years
to complete it i was looking at tein mono flex coil overs,
new paint
and 16' wheels
and installing the 5 stud conversion, recaro seats

[menacer]

had my teg on the dyno last week guys 6psi made 200whp
nice. b18a1?

[93Integra]

What camber kit did you have?

I know that lowering it a certain amount will cause the car to have negative camber, did you just have the kit to correct it? (Noob2Camber)

[menacer]

Im running Skunk2 camber kits front and rear. my teg is probably a few mm higher than Fr33k's. there still plenty of adjustment on the rear but the fronts are almost maxed

[mooshie]

had my teg on the dyno last week guys 6psi made 200whp

Wow long time no hear A-Man! 200 is pretty good for such low PSI, have you done anything since the original setup?

[93Integra]

By adjustment do you mean you've removed as much negative camber as possible?

[menacer]

as much as i wanted to. from memory rear camber is approx -0.4 and front camber is -0.8.. can probably get fronts to 0 and rears to +3 with remaining adjustment...

[93Integra]

Makes sense, might look into camber kits after I get my ground controls.

Being that low, did you have to modify the guards? Or just remove the plastic liner on the inside?

[menacer]

I haven't had to do either.


Oh n btw for anyone who's interested. finally started my build thread:

Hey guys, im after a quick answer, has any used or seen a DC2 Gen 1 mugen exhaust mounted on a DA?

What do you guys think? Im just worried that it will have to hang too low in order to clear the right side of the muffler.
All input appreciated.

im running the RS-R and we welded custom mounts to fit up nice and tight no worries just wont be able to take it off anytime quickly if i have too :-S

[Latino CRX]

has anyone ever put a JDM DC2R Front bar on a DA ??

[EKVTIR-T]

I found a little mod for cable clutchs like the da9 has on hondatech and decided to try it

on the end of the cable,where it pulls the release arm,theres a rubber stopper which kinda cushions the mechanism when you step on the clutch

it makes it a bit spongy for grannies and girls,the usual honda owners..so what you do is put a hoseclamp around the rubber thingy and tighten it snug making the clutch feel very solidly and precise

http://www.parts4cars.com.au/images/BMH5.JPG

cable clutchs are already more direct feeling but this makes it even sweeter :thumbsup:

anyone used a ys1 with a b18vtec? waste of time or pretty good?

short ratio ys1?
i think its worth it

[Jon_51]

nah, just the standard da9 box.

[FR33K]

I had long ratio ys1 with b16 and it was a dog. I also had short ratio S1 (I think) and it was 10x more fun to drive

[91type-r]

Hey guys,
I have recently put a b18c from a 98 spec type-R into my Teg and am having issues on start up. I have to give it some throttle to get it to fire properly and Idle.
Is this due to not having the FITV fitted? I'm running the OBD-0 ecu, engine harness and distributor. the OBD-1 (or 2) parts are the IACV, Map sensor and the TPS.

I have made an aluminium block for the FITV to bolt to with the air lines able to be connected to the intake manifold. My theory is that my ecu can't run the IACV function that controls start up and cold start.

Or have I missed something?

[93Integra]

Went to look for oil today and in Sprints they had a book recommending you on which oil to use.

What does everyone use in their B18A1? I was reading some brands and they suggested 15W/40 for nearly all brands.

I've been reading most people use 5W/30? Or is that for VTEC engines only?

[menacer]

how many k's has your's done is the first question. second is how do you drive it. (track days or shopping cart etc.)
mines at almost 300000km running penrite HPR15 since I bought it. motor is still in great condition.

[93Integra]

It just hit 220k km's, it's my daily, have never been to a track day and don't plan to in the near future.

Mostly daily driving with some hard accel here and there, nothing too stupid.

[menacer]

in that case stick with a 15w oil. going thinner like a 5w will result in low oil pressure and will probably burn oil. and going thicker, like a 20w will only accelerate engine wear.
however it also depends on where you are (cold climate/warmer climate)

sticking with a decent brand is well worth your while, no need to go royal purple etc. for daily driving but penrite, nulon or even mobil will keep your motor clean and healthy.

[93Integra]

I'll just go with Castrol GTX or Magnatec or something, thanks heaps mate.

[menacer]

wouldnt use that to burn a dog personally. but no worries.

[93Integra]

Oh really? It was on special and I figured Castrol was a decent brand.

My next choice was Nulon so that's fine.

What is wrong with Castrol? Or is it just a cheaper brand?

[menacer]

If they spent as much money on developing their product as they do advertising it might be alright.
But they don't so it's pretty much a poor product advertised as a great one.. Would definitely go the nulon any day of the week

[Latino CRX]

would Ek Hatch side skirts fit onto a DA or would i need to source Sedan Side skirts??

[d-train]

My B18a is missing badly from takeoff (900rpm to about 2000rpm but when it's over 2000 it pulls fine! Help!!

[menacer]

Haven't changed ur ignition timing? (eg. recently been working on disributor)

[d-train]

No mate, nothing has been altered in that area

[Latino CRX]

my old crx done that man i found one of the spark plug seals from the cam cover to be leakin oil
into the spark plug causing it to stutter at arching point

[d-train]

Problem sorted. Turned out there was remaining parts of the old leads still in the chamber (from old owner) and they had just pushed new leads on top. I cleaned out the chambers, put new plugs and leads in and she runs like a dream!
I was olso wondering if anyone has put ED springs into a DA9 before?

[adriano10]

anyone got a 92 facelift front bar i can buy =D in Sydney yo

[menacer]

i have a maroon one on my parts car... not sure if i want to sell it yet tho... :/

[d-train]

has anyone put ED civic series 1 springs into a DA9 before? I know the RCA's and LCA's are interchangable, but wondering if the springs will fit also?

[mooshie]

They will fit but will alter the ride height and will be too soft assuming you are talking stockies.

[d-train]

They are king lowering springs, not stockies.

[gbpracing]

anyone used a ys1 with a b18vtec? waste of time or pretty good?
I have tried them all, I had a B16a1 box with B18Vtec for road and was ok, but as soon as I used for the high hp race engine it didn't last. Same with the B18A1 box
I currently have 170kw full race B20Vtec using the 1996 TypeR box with carbon lined synchros and 4:78:1 and works a treat.

[Rayle]

Gary, which part of the B16A box ended up failing? I'm hoping that by upgrading the diff, one of those will be able to withstand a high powered B20Vtec, but if it wasn't the diff that went out I guess I'll have to rethink my plans.

The synchros were the weak link... So I did the conversion to Hydro .... but I miss the B16A ratios....
.I have two types of diffs available if your interested.... one is the original TypeR diff the other is a clutch plate diff more suited for track P.M. if your interested and I can ship to you no cost freight.

Ah, I see. I guess if the box explodes I'll just start upgrading stuff.

Thanks for the offer but I don't think either of those will physically fit into a first-gen S1 B16A box, looks like I'll be going for the mfactory unit later on when the engine is actually ready!

The Clutch plate diff came out of my B16A cable clutch so I thought that is the same as what you have.. !!!! B16 B18 ARE interchangeable from what i experienced !!

[Rayle]

Ah, okay. However, that's more hardcore a clutch that I'm willing to use, since the car will still be driven on the street.

for sure... not fun driving that diff in street conditions... So what Diff are you using ?

[Rayle]

Currently the box just has the stock S1 open diff, but it's not in my car yet. I'll be installing it onto my stock B18A for now while I build my B20VTEC, but when the new engine goes in I'm looking to put an MFactory Helical LSD in, and maybe upgrade the synchros at the same time if funds allow.

Yes it's Helical LSD genuine TypeR
No worries, if you PM me I can give you more details and send some pics of the Diff..... It is from the first TypeR that was sold in Australia.. I never actually used it because I had a Quaiff Diff ...

The TypeR diff I have will suit you and is the same Helical LSD for a lot less $$ your call :-)

Gary

A bit of clarification here.

Our MFactory diff while is a Helical LSD design, is forged (OEM is cast) - making it up to 30% stronger. While it has the same bias ratio as OEM, it has a more aggressive tooth angle (i.e more power is transferred to the ground). Can handle higher torque. Is lightweight (due to being Forged + our weight reducing features).

Read here.
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?131297-MFactory-Words-of-Wisdom&p=3110077&viewfull=1#post3110077

Our LSDs are cost effective because we don't have large advertising cost to maintain but our quality speaks for itself.
Why risk an LSD with unknown history?

Sales must be slow, of course you would say that !! lol Your a salesman :-)
Your making assumption that the diff has no history shame on you !!!! But the again, your a SALESMAN !!!

[e240]

Nothing to do with sales.

Just making sure the correct information is available for users to make an informed decision. Especially when someone is trying to sell their own LSD by making incorrect comparisons.

[espionage85]

not to low to the ground

Anyone had any luck running 15x7.5 +30 with a 195/50 tyre?

I've searched fitment threads and I believe everything should fit fine, just asking for anyone with personal experience.

Car is stock height (for now), unmodified guards, etc etc.

www.rimtuck.com

should be ok, im running 15x8 +0 offset, rolled guards and lowered springs and rear camber arms at 5.5 deg camber and its almost flush.
so 30mm less and half inch skinnier wheels should be ok,
only problem i found is 15' sits to low to the ground, so im looking into getting 16'

cheers espionage (& ecuman), that's a great thread, but yeah, I'm not throwing any codes :( it's just that the yellow light (the one that stays on when you've got a dead MFR) on the dash comes on while I'm driving along. it's happened randomly since I changed the radiator so I'm wondering if there's some random earthing or wiring gremlin or if it is indicates something, like low power steering fluid or something. I've never heard of it before and I've read most things about the da9 at one stage or another over the years. just kinda hoping that someone else has been through it.

on a more interesting and completely unrelated note: I just rebuilt my b18a1 (fried rings, head gasket blew, bent a valve, one of the rocker arms was sitting beside where it should have been!) apart from the aforementioned hicup, the car is running great. I never new the b18a1 used the same big end bearings a b16 crank. still running it in for the minute, so haven't really hung it out at high rpm's for any extended period of time, but I must say having all the ponies back in the stable has put a smile on my face. it reminds me of when I bought my first DA with 90k on the clock. next up I'll have to put some dollars into neatening up the body work.. after a drive through the mountains yesterday, I can confirm that it goes, stops and corners as well as I'd hoped.

The Injectors are a blue color and i think off the top of my head are a topfeed, is there a certain type of injector that people mainly use on B18A1 turbo that sound like these? or is there away i can find out what they are? Also the ECU has writing on it (in texta :/) that says "this ECU has PMC-4 (i think thats the code) has been chiped 2005" long shot but does anyone know this ECU? or is there a way i can find out what has been done to it?
Thanks :D

Sounds like a set of blue top injectors from a mitsubishi, theyre 450cc. I used the same on on my b16a turbo

You'll need-
Clutch and flywheel
Manual ecu or chip it
Cluster
Shift boot etc
Linkages
Transmission mount
Pedals
Gearbox will be hard to find in a cable clutch setup with ratios to suit the b16. If you go with a later hydro housing then you will also need master and slave cylinders plus lines and however you decide to adapt it. Hush22 do a good conversion or hasport etc.

[jmello]

that is awsome cheers mate !!

[Jon_51]

I looked into an auto to manual conversion when I found a cheap auto and had a wrecked manual DA in the driveway. It was a fair bit more work than I'd imagined. The advice from people who'd done it was that they'd not do it again.

[jmello]

hahaha yerr i will be having a go at it tho :) and then i can say the same thing

[mooshie]

Not that much harder than a clutch change really... Just put a different gearbox back in!

Anyone changed there mounts in a DA before? mine are destroyed and instead of going stock i was going to upgrade to Innovative or HA sport but no distributor in AUS lists any for DA9.

I went with Hasport when all my mounts cracked, I purchased mine through Jdmyard which are listed on international distributors list of the Hasport website. I don't think there would be any difference in mounts between 89 DA9 and the 90-93 DA9's if its running a b18a? as long as you get the right transmission mount(hydro or cable), might be best to speak to a distributor to confirm before purchasing.

[PoDgE]

Thanks mate yeah i am running a Ba8a1 with cable trans. Ill send them a msg now! How did you find the hasport mounts? Is the much of an increase in vibrations when these are put in?

Thanks mate yeah i am running a Ba8a1 with cable trans. Ill send them a msg now! How did you find the hasport mounts? Is the much of an increase in vibrations when these are put in?

I really like the Hasport(62a), shifting felt much smoother as there were hardly any engine movement. There was a significant increase in vibrations while its stationary, once the car is moving its not that bad. Over time you'll probably get use to it and will seem like there are less vibrations.

Does anyone know if the DC5 A-Pillar Plastic would fit a DA?

[target101]

hey guys and girl recently bought and 89 da9 with rego for 700 so far have done a decent service on it oil plugs etc went to get a fuel filter (supercheap wants $88 for one...) one thing i have notice with mine is after coming off throttle and slowing down my evs drop to the point the car feels like it is going to stall also only one of my dizzy bolt holes lines up does this mean its got the wrong dizzy or a swapped head or?

[menacer]

check for vacuum leak and clean ur tb and map sensor might help as for dizzy it sounds like somethings been swapped. so probs would be a good idea to check you timing aswell.

[mooshie]

^^ do all this and it should cover it! Likely the dizzy is swapped as any OBD0 dist will work just the housings(position of the legs) are different. As menacer alluded to- timing is probably out as one bolt is not enough to hold it reliably in position or if they are doing it dodgy style probably didn't even re set the timing

[91type-r]

I have a b18c-R in my da and am having fuel delivery issues. it has a Jun head and stage 3 cams and gtr injectors. my tuner can not put anymore fuel in without the car throwing a check engine light. it has greedy e-manage blue. we are thinking that the stock fuel pump and pressure regulator are not up to the job.
I would like some thoughts or setup info from you guys that have the b18c in your da9.

[djkng]

I guess you could start with the regulator, it'd be cheaper than a new pump and if it turns out that it wasn't the problem, putting new things on your car never hurt anyone :P

[gbpracing]

Thanks mate yeah i am running a Ba8a1 with cable trans. Ill send them a msg now! How did you find the hasport mounts? Is the much of an increase in vibrations when these are put in?

I run all Hasport i my race Integra and they are great, not as much through vibration as I thought but for sure limit's the total engine movement quite a lot compared to the std mounts

Ive got em on the 4 door accord and they are sweet , don't understand fully how it works on a coupe, saw one with both front and rear racks in the front door section which i don't like as it appears it doesn't displace the load evenly


I use to have Rolla Roof racks and they were fine, easy to install and remove. I ended up throwing them out after many years of not using them but they were still ok

[DA9-47]

THULE have a listing for DA9 roof racks on their website. Not cheap though.
yeah i saw them and you said it.... pricey as
but they look .... ok i spose

ahhhhh noooooo you through them away lolz

im getting right into wood work, its unreal how much free wood people give away, need the roof racks for pallets and long peices rather than buy a ute or install a tow bar i thought the roof racks would be the best thing for me
ill check them rolla roof racks out cheers mate

just wondering how many k's peeps are up to on there da's with org engine im on 310 she has been well kept but amazing they still love to rev.

[mooshie]

My DA6 is only up to 180, and the wreck packed it in at about 235000. The other 2 are swaps so no idea what they are really up to...

They seem to blow head gaskets a bit but aside from that they run forever!

[DA9-47]

i got 3 b18a1's,

2 in da's- 260k and 160k

1 out 255k

[menacer]

305k on the one im using before car got wrecked.. once fixed its getting turbo bolted on! interested to see how it takes a few extra psi after all those miles.
my spare motor (which i plan to rebuild for when the boost gets too much for the current one) is at 260ish from memory...

[sheppsz]

some pretty high k's there , yeh it will be they seem like they are tough engines that's for dam sure i have thought about getting rid of it but i still love to drive it and as i said they Go and its 20yrs old lol

[sheppsz]

[espionage85]

Lol, if I did I'd be completing it slowly

[stevo716]

Well looks like Im slowly coming back to the honda scene, Just bought a B20 to put my head on haha

[menacer]

Good to hear bud. To go back in the DA6 I assume...

[stevo716]

da6 is long gone, haha still trying to decide what chassis

[sheppsz]

Hey guys, Im not sure when it stopped but i have noticed my 3rd brake light on the glass hatch at the top is not working i have changed the globe so any other ideras.

thanks.
Ben.

[djkng]

Check the top of your brake pedal arm, there should be a little round cylinder shaped switch screwed into it.

[aussierob]

Hi guys, I have a da9 that I want to get parts for e.g exhaust suspension engine rebuilt kits on so on, my question is where in Melbourne has what I'm looking for? Found everything online but all from USA.

[adriano10]

Hey guys I have a group of guys with das in Sydney just wondering who else in Sydney has a da and will be willing to join us, theres 7 of us so far, so just message us and I'll give u details

[mooshie]

To do what? I come to Sydney every now and then... Not in the DAs though

[adriano10]

Just trying to bring das back into the scene a lot of people don't even know what a da is

[mooshie]

True. Good luck hopefully can get a few together

[stevo716]

im still out, mate ended up buying the b20 off me haha, and took a lot of my aftermarket parts. Still got an Skunk2 Intake manifold and built b18a head if anyone is interested :P

[DA9-47]

Just double checking -
Is it the fuel pump I need to replace if the engine light won't go out before I try to start the car ?
It's been doing this off and on for a few weeks , But lately it also will start then die after maybe 5 sec
if u wait a little and try again it works just cbf waiting any more
Thoughts?

[hondapop]

Don't know about the check light's relationship to a faulty fuel pump, otherwise it sounds like that old bug-a-boo, the main relay (which also controls the pump) soldering getting dry joints.

The check engine light turns on when u turn ignition to accessorize then off when the pump has primed the lines

Ahh ok so I need to re solder the main relay ?

Sounds about right to be some elec bug lol

I can hear the pump priming most times , but when I don't hear it prime it either won't start or start then die

[hondapop]

Certainly sounds like the classic symptoms.

Okay guys how is everyone here, i am not good writing in English as it is my second language, i will really appreciate the help of everyone here.
my car specs.
Honda
Integra 2 door coupe.
B18A1 1.8L DOCH engine EFI
is 1990 model
the problem is that i cant turn on the car, the engine light wont go away, i have tried everything sometimes the engine light turns off and i can start up or fire up the car and no problem.
what i have noticed is that when the check engine light stays on i cant hear the fuel pump at all but if i try randomly the fuel pump will kick in and the engine light will go off and then i am able to fire up the car.
The car cranks and everything seems to be working fine except this.
i went down to the ecu to check if there is any codes with that red flashing light.
results were weird, when the fuel pump kicks in the engine light is on for 2 seconds as the fuel pumps cuts off the engine light goes off at the same time the ecu flashes or blinks only once "i have read that means the ecu is working and it is not a error code as it doesn't repeat itself". After this i can turn on the car and drive normally.
now gets even more weird because most of the time when i put the ignition on ii2 the engine light doesn't go away and cant hear the fuel pump kick-in and even weird is that i cant see any flashes indicating that the ecu has power or that is working.
so this is my problem atm and need to find a solution asap. 2 mechanics have had a look at it and no one wants to touch anything related to electrical stuff on a Honda.
i live in SA Adelaide.
thanks to everyone who replies to me.

[hondapop]

Nothing wrong with your English mate. Same problem/solution as DA9-47's. Main relay.

[integra1506]

thanks a lot buddy i really appreciate this man!! you are the second one on telling me this sure ill get this to work again!
do you know if i can find this on any store like autobarn repco or supercheap auto?

[DA9-47]

It's a DIY job mate, my car was acting the same , then I removed all the old solder then re soldered the main relay and since then it has been awesome , you only need like 3-4 tools and you can do it yourself !!
Or could take the part out and take it to an auto electrician to do for u but I would try do it yourself =)

Also look up "integra main relay problem" on YouTube to find a walk through guide on how to find the main relay (behind coin slot) , remove it , de solder it , re solder it , then reinstall it ,
Since I fixed mine it hasn't not started once

[DA9-47]

Ps does anyone know an around about price for 2 outer cv's?
I think it's time

[integra1506]

Ps does anyone know an around about price for 2 outer cv's?
I think it's time

[DA9-47]

Thanks man , yeah post a link so I can have a squiz at it =)

Hello,
I have a few questions I hope some people can help me out with. I am dropping a b18b from a 96gsi into my 93 da9(obd1).
The engine I'm moving to is 1/4 the age of my b18a1.
after reading up a bit, a lot seems logical. I just keep the da9 engine mounts & gearbox, but I'm getting conflicting info on what to do with alternator, distributor and injectors and ecu side of thing.
I wouldn't mind switching the chassis to be entirely obd2 and keeping the new engine and all it's bits and pieces + ecu togethor, as I have everything from the gsi to use.
If I do just use obd1 ecu currently in the car, can I use the b18b's alternator, dizzy and injectors or do I move all those across from the old motor?
Finally, if I do keep the odb1 ecu, the previous owner of my car has chipped the ecu, with I'm pretty sure one of those ebay chips everyone says to avoid. Does anyone have any advice on what to do about that, if anything. I don't seem to get any sort of economy. Should I buy another ecu? Can I just take the chip out, should I buy a new chip from somewhere. this is all budget as, but if getting it tuned with something, somehow, somewhere will save me money in fuel down the track, I'd be tempted.
tl'dr, I've done to much reading and now I don't know which way to jump

ps if anyone in brisbane is chasing a minty gsi box on the cheeps pm me.

[espionage85]

Integra da9 owners australia, on fb would probably be a faster way to get answers.

This thread has been dead for a long time lol,

As for your questions,
All b series parts are interchangeable, so you can use any b series box, mounts.
As for the alternator, ps pump and aircon the plugs may be different, I believe you can just change the plugs over from the pumps and alternator from the da9, not to sure about the injectors tho.

[stocky]

I've done this before. I would just use the existing intake, manifolds, accessories and mounts.

The Gsi gearbox I would swap the internals over to your existing gearbox as the LS ones would be pretty rough being 20+ years.

As for converting to OBD2, I wouldn't. You'll need to chuck in more sensors for minimal gain.

you got a link? fb is killing forums

[espionage85]

Sorry buddy, I wouldn't know how to copy a link on my iPhone,
If you search it, it should come up

[Jon_51]

yeah no luck

try that jon

[adriano10]

link works ^^^ jeff

[ACTI0NMAN-1]

Easiest option is to stay with obd1 and get a chipped ecu that runs a ROM either chrome or Neptune (I reccomend Neptune) If you cant wait for one to comeup online, then visit xenocron.com, his items are pretty reliable. Alternator can be reused, and the engine distributor will be have to obd1. Obd1 and obd2 injectors have different clips. So go with the injectors that fit your harness.

Hey guys is there a clutch cable which is a bit longer then ours as my cable fails to reach hydro to cable actuatorreach as it was made for lhd das

Hi Guys.

I have been searching for a while now and have had no luck with my current issue.
I have installed a new Walboro 255lph fuel pump with no problems today until I turn the car on, when I turn on the ignition the fuel pump primes up but does not shut off.
Has my MFR failed or is there something I have missed with the install?
The car fires up fine so I'm a bit puzzled.

Any help will be appreciated. Searching through the various install threads online has not mentioned this problem anywhere.

Cheers

[hondapop]

The pumps on EFI's keep the fuel circulating all the time, i.e. what's not used through the injectors gets returned to the tank, unlike a carbie'd car, where they stop once the float needle closes. This one, being high volume is probably a bit more noticeable noise-wise.

[A-man]

He is right about the facebook pages and forums. I rarely come on here anymore, mainly because its too much effort to siphon through all the BS and just get the info.

What 91-type R is saying is the Fuel pump is staying on with just the ignition on which isn't correct. The ignition on should allow the fuel pump to switch on for 5 seconds and the ecu light will switch off then when cranking the fuel pump will switch back on.

It sounds like maybe a bad contact on the main relay or possibly ecu related?

What ecu are you running?
