[A-man]

yeh u prob have....

[Chriskoss]

[Chriskoss]

Thanks mate Ill have a look

[A-man]

yeh those msd ones they give u CLEAR rotor caps now aswell... thats awsome but gay for me coz i saw clear ones but only for stock dizzys...

guys my ecu for sale i dropped the price check it out its on dacrew and ozhonda..

[Chriskoss]

Oh so am I ment to get a whole MSD dissy.. arent they like 800 :S

[A-man]

nah its just a upgrade u put external coil, cap and leads for like 100 bucks us

its still cheaper then a new dizzy

[Chriskoss]

Can you show me a link to it?? So what your saying is if the coil goes on a stock dizzy.. the whole dizzy needs to be replaced?

[A-man]

nah the coil is in the dizzy u just replace the dizzy with external one

Anyone done a brake up grade on a DA9? I'm starting to run out of brakes in the hills (back of glorious in particular) and I've got a pretty spongy pedal. I've bleed the brakes and replaced the fluid with dot4, with very little improvement.

Next I was planning on swapping the pads out and getting the rotors machined, but I'm not sure if I should just put something bigger on. How adequate is the stock Da gear with a decent set of pads and braided lines? I don't want to blow money fixing up the stock setup to find that I'm still losing the pedal regularly on the downhill runs.

If anyone tracks their DA I'd like to hear your opinion.

EDIT: I'm running 15's and I don't want to go bigger

I have changed to Type R discs and calipers (282mm) and Type R booster and master cylinder, it makes a massive difference in braking, i can brake really late, and the discs are slotted (redrilled to 4x100) its the best upgrade i have done, will try and find some pikkys

Oh, 2 things, you will need to get your brake lines from the master cylinder to proportioning valve flared, the Type r uses different ends. You will also need to change the plug on the fluid level switch, easy way i found was go to a wreckers and get the plug and wiring from one of the horns, its the same connection, and wreckers gave me free! (and looks factory)

[gumbs]

I'm assuming off a DC2R? Can you still run them under 15's? How much did it set you back?

[tseesinngwailo]

I'm assuming off a DC2R? Can you still run them under 15's? How much did it set you back?

Yeah, off a DC2R, i got whole hub/bearing assembly etc, bolt in, easy as.

The brakes cost $500 from someone here of Ozhonda, flaring cost $20, brake booster and master cylinder from a Japanese Type R cost $50 (friends runs importing company) and brake fluid.

This really transformed my car, I can outbrake a lot of other cars and no fading, so i would say this is a bang-for-buck mod. Now i want to get a pair of re-drilled type R rears to match :) maybe just wait and get a 5 stud conversion, then will sell my current setup.

Changing the booster is a pain, you have to get at 4 bolts up under the dash, usually lying on your back, half in and out of the car, lots of swearing involved...

Keep an eye on the for-sale thread, sets come up all the time

cheers, Tseesinn

[gumbs]

Thanks, I'll do some more research into it. Its good to know there's a reasonably cheap and easy upgrade.

[A-man]

y not just get ek brakes there still 4 stud.... coz they bigger then eg but i duno how much diff they r from da

[Spoon DA9R]

i m actually thinking of going back to 4 studs..LOL

[A-man]

do it

[string]

Don't waste your money on larger disks/calipers until you try better pads.

I run stock sized discs with good fluid and good pads and at Wakefield Park last year the brakes were as strong first lap as they were 5th lap. I have a dodgey master cylinder and did a poor job bleeding, and they were strong the whole day with zero fade.

Or spend 4x as much on a stock Type-R setup and still need to buy new pads anyway! Like tires, you can increase the size all you want but if it's a crappy compound, you'll have no grip. That said there are obvious advantages to a 1" master cylinder; but "improving" brake "feel" doesn't make you any faster.

[byteme]

y not just get ek brakes there still 4 stud.... coz they bigger then eg but i duno how much diff they r from da

arnt they 262mm rotors? unless you got some whacky brake setup, your stock rotors are 262mm. they eg's are 240. eg and crx guys in the states use our (da9) brakes to upgrade their brakes.

string is onto something though. get good pads first, you'll see a massive difference. If your braking needs will overpower a good set of pads then you probly should know all of the above ! :cool:


Ez

[A-man]

u upgrade eg brakes because of the drums on the bak

[byteme]

aha... lol i thought you were talkin about fronts.

[Pezman]

hi guys ive recently bought a da9 and i have a few queries
it has an ls/vtec conversion with a b18a1 block and b16a head. ive recently bought a skunk2 intake manifold and got the tune booked in, but before i get it tuned i want to upgrade cams and valve springs.
ive looked at getting buddy club spec 3 cams shafts. are these too aggressive?
if so whats the best to go for with stock compression?

[FR33K]

CTR cams are a good cheap upgrade

[DA9B18C]

sounds like it will be a ice little DA,

maybe start a progress thread?!

[sheppsz]

Its prob been posted before but Can someone give me some info on replacing rear trailing arm bushings on the DA maybe tools?? also What about this?? http://www.sptool.com/tool.htm

[gumbs]

Rip the rear trailing arms off. Remove bushes, put new bushes back in :D


I used an air powered hacksaw to cut the centre of the bush out then cut a section of the bush out to get it out then just pressed the replacement in using a hydraulic press.

[sml-089]

anyone else have a squeek/squeel in their steering wheel when taking corners at a certain speed + angle?

[DA9B18C]

u have low power steering fluid?! check that first.

if its low buy Genuine honda power steering fluid.

[iggie]

hey guys

i'm in the hunt for clear indicators (both side and front bar) at the moment..

i've heard with the stock orange ones you can soak them in metho and they turn out clear is this true?..

or can u buy clear ones? if so how much and where?

cheers

[lo0se3r]

not sure about the front indicators, but i know you can bleach the rear lights to white lol

[Ashwee]

You can get clear side and front indicators on ebay.

[stevo716]

I've just rebuilt my engine, and i get some idling probs, basiclly if u rev it, it drops down below idle then comes back up.

[sml-089]

i came across a cheap jdm climate control today. anyone seen/ know how to install them into the audm? i got all the wiring and clips attaching it to the car if thats any help

[A-man]

it wont work ill buy it off u ;)

nah grab a wiring diagram out of the integra manual and u should b able to push the pins out and re insert them into the jdm climate control harness plug

its fairly straight forward but the wiring gonna b the hard part...

u need to grab a AUDM manual or a USDM manual and then get a JDM (or a 4 door da) manual and it will have what pin goes where on the plug

[sml-089]

how much u wanna pay for it.... i may consider it....
i have a service manual already....
are you saying that the plugs are the same jdm/audm a/c/climate control unit?

[A-man]

nah nah they should b diff

but if u check a guide (one i found that shows actual pictures is dc2 dash into eg) (thats what im doin now)

it shows u that u can get a safety pin for like babys nappys and then use that to push the pin out if u got the male pin for the unit these pins can just plug straight in

otherwise maybe see the xsi da6? or any imports they usually have it

but as far as i know there not a plug and play cause theres heaps diff to normal units

[sml-089]

prob just hire an electrician. was reading about the yanks trying to do it in their lhd cars, had to get some sensors aswell as the unit requires inside and outside temperature....

[Unconnected]

hey guys, first post, im looking at buying a integra very soon. are there any comon faults i should look out for?

Thanks

[gumbs]

If its a da9 (89 to 92) rear trailing arm bushes ($500 to get a shop to do them), rust around the sunroof and top of the windscreen (not that common but I've seen a few with it) other than those I don't really know of any expensive problems that are specific to da's just the normal stuff like gearbox condition, oil leaks, oil condition do the ks match the wear and tear on the car etc etc.

[A-man]

yeh the rust round the boot aswel where the window and the glass is

wet feet under the windscreen but thats expected

[Ashwee]

main relays are quite common to go as well.

rear trailing arm bushes costs $500 for a shop to install!? ouch!

[Unconnected]

Ok well this car is pretty mint, and he wants a price to match, so im not so worried, it also has service history and all that good stuff, and the guy looks like an enthusiast, so he has taken good care of it.

ill check for rust, but what is "rear trailing arm bushes" and where do i check for them? a pic would be much appreciated (if possible)

Thanks, im hoping to buy it tommorow :cool:

EDIT: what are some good online suppliers of random parts for the DA9, i know of www.rhdjapan.com but they dont stock for DA9 :(

[gumbs]

main relays are quite common to go as well.

rear trailing arm bushes costs $500 for a shop to install!? ouch!

Yep they were stuffed on both my Da's when I bought them and they got picked up on the roadworthy inspection each time, first place quoted $619 but they also quoted $100 to fix my rear window washer. The second place quoted $440. I got my old man to help me replace them instead.

The main relay is common but it isn't really something I'd worry about they're an easy fix, although you could use it as a haggling point.

I'm too lazy to go jack the car up and take a pic but if you look behind the rear wheels, its the massive bush. Preferably you'd want to see one that isn't black, mine are red but bushes can come in plenty of colours. The black ones are rubber and usually a genuine honda item and they were very prone to breaking prematurely.

[Unconnected]

i got this pic from honda-tech.com, i circled red what i think is the bush, am i correct?

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/8420/busgh.jpg

Thanks for you help guys, going to take a look at it tonight.

[sml-089]

you circled the whole trailing arm... so yes. the bushing is where it connects to the chassis, ie the black rubber ring in the middle of the trailing arm

ps. if your a member of Honda-tech, you should download the service manual for the da9 free from the site. then check out the suspension section for the trailing arm info

[Unconnected]

ah ok, i thought that it was the ring part in the middle.
Thanks guys, ill let you know how my car shopping go's :P

[gumbs]

Yeh get in there with a torch and check if they're still rubber or if they've been replaced with a notholane (sp?) bush. If they're still rubber check for tears and cracks in the rubber.

[A-man]

majority of them either on civics tegs etc. r all stuffed

[stevo716]

hey with the trailing arm bushes, are they press, removable and how much are they just for the part?
i had a look at mine today there farked lol

[sheppsz]

pair of bushings OEM about $200 i have ordered the X-TRACTOR Tool to remove and install so see how it all goes.

[string]

USD$105 www.kingmotorsports.com

Bought from these guys a couple of times now and they ship very fast with no hassles at all.

Did mine with a hammer. It sucked but worked.

[gumbs]

Buy after market, the genuine ones aren't strong enough.

Can be done with a hammer and a hacksaw but a shit load easier with a press.

[string]

You never need a hacksaw. I replaced the trailing arm bushings with sphericals on the weekend and they popped out with 3 or 4 hits from a big mallet.

OEM bushings are plenty strong as long as you have them aligned properly. If you are lowered you're going to have a very hard time getting them to be vertical at normal ride height which will give you funky toe changes when you don't want them.

[gumbs]

One of the two pairs I've done had to be cut out, there was no way they were coming out with a hammer. I can't comment from personal experience but they were replaced at 90k in the log book of my stock auto grandma integra and were gone again when I got it at 150k. To me that says there is something wrong with them. And plenty of people on g2ic have the same issues.

[string]

Strange; I've done 2 pairs and they all came out easily with a good few whacks - maybe you need a bigger hammer :D. The pair I replaced with OEM were a nightmare to bash back in I will admit.

The only problem with a 'stronger' aftermarket item is that it probably won't replicate the function of the OEM piece. If the replacement bushing doesn't allow lateral deflection of the trailing arm then you are going to be putting greater stress on all your other rear bushings. A completely filled RTA bushing without a floating centre bar is NOT a good idea. When I installed my spherical bushing in the RTA I ran the suspension through it's range of movement and the trailing arm moves side to side ~10mm when all the other bushings are moving in their natural axis. If you constrain that part of the arm to one point then something will bind.

[iggie]

hey guys

acura indicators should fit on honda right?

i found clear indicators but couple of mates are telling me that the globe fittings are different...is this the case?.. i assumed that they would fit with out a problem..

cheers

[Ashwee]

they should fit, yes. sides and front, for that matter.

[Ashwee]

haha worst luck ever, just got word my trailing arm bushes need replacing. Got quoted $376 for genuine honda supplied and fitted though..

[fudge_]

im interested in getting the jdm vtec cluster for the da and just wanted to know if wiring will be an issue? whether it is OBD0 or OBD1 as my car is a 93 model with OBD1 wiring.
thanks

[DA9B18C]

not sure about the vtec version of Jdm cluster but i have a non vtec version and the wires are all fine. plug and play.

really should be fine, but if there is any form of vtec light on the cluster then u might have a problem as there will be no vtec signal wire on ure original harness.

than again that problem is easily fixed.

good luck,

[A-man]

yeh but the wire would prob just b missing on my eg i got the gl so its a carby one and the plugs r the same they just missing the wires

it should fit and not be any hassles

[fudge_]

kool thanks guys. so it wont matter what jdm cluster i get and i have to run an extra wire for vtec. at the moment there is no problem as the vtec engine light doesnt show up so shouldnt be any differrence when i get the jdm cluster, just plug and play as you mentioned?

[A-man]

yeh is ur car vtec? if its not u dont need to run the wire it should work with out it all together

[fudge_]

yeah ive got vtec. so there would be the wire already running through. i dont get any engine light come on.

[tseesinngwailo]

I have a 92 JDM Vtec dash, it has climate control but no VTEC light, there is a funky one for the CAT, if its too hot when you stop the car, it indicates this, for some reason they think you will park on top of long dry grass and burn the car :)
I am thinking to use this as the VTEC light, will post a diagram if i get round to it

[A-man]

aw yeh maybe put a sticker over it or something then its looks like just a light instead of the vtec got any pics?

[FR33K]

ive used this light as a vtec light before...it does nothing otherwise

maybe ill dig up some videos

[Ashwee]

Edit. Found the bushes I need. Are these king motorsports guys to be trusted, before I go ahead and give them $200 of my dollars?

[A-man]

nolathane sell them for 100 bucks for a pair

[Ashwee]

Hmm, these ones appear to be made of steel?

http://www.nolathane.com.au/photos/46180.jpg

[A-man]

yeh but the red bit is the bush

the metal is just the insert

[string]

Edit. Found the bushes I need. Are these king motorsports guys to be trusted, before I go ahead and give them $200 of my dollars?

I've bought from them twice, with VISA, and received my goods within a week of placing the order.

If you find the part number (search honda-tech) you could always go to your local dealer and try to get them to find it. My local dealer priced a pair of RTA bushings for the DC4 at AUD$105 but they are a much newer item than the DA9 part so your luck might vary.

[Ashwee]

Got a set of nolathane ones for $155, will arrive tomorrow.. now I just need to find someone kind enough to let me borrow the bushing tool.. otherwise its a hammer job :P

[string]

If the metal bar in the middle doesn't slide side to side they'll bind up your other bushings. FYI.

If anyone wants proof I can make a video showing the natural movement of the RTA bushing but won't be able to upload it until I get the internet on at home (damn house moving!).

[fudge_]

Does anyone know where to get some coilovers for the DA's? I'm real interested in getting some...

[doonbar]

Does anyone know where to get some coilovers for the DA's? I'm real interested in getting some...

Try the traders on here... JDMYard or Race nation

[酸菜炖肉]

will the springs from ef or eg fit on the da9?

[Ashwee]

EG and DC2 springs fit on the DA strut.

[doonbar]

EG and DC2 springs fit on the DA strut.

what about DA springs onto EG/DC struts?

[Ashwee]

Yes, EG/DC2/DC2R springs will ALL fit on DA struts, and vice versa.

[酸菜炖肉]

Yes, EG/DC2/DC2R springs will ALL fit on DA struts, and vice versa.thx buddy.how about the complete front and rear struts(eg,dc2r) do they fit on da?

[Ashwee]

EG and DC2 struts fit straight bolt on, you just need the front forks from an EG/DC2.

DC2R struts also bolt straight on but you need the rear control arm to swap, and I presume the front forks as well.

[iggie]

hey guys

would civic (92-95) clear side indicators fit on a da9?http://www.cartoys.com.au/products/Honda/SIDE+MARKERS+CIVIC+and+PRELUDE+92-95+%c2%a0SET.aspx?SC=9M-HO15L99

[Ashwee]

Yes. And the DC ones fit too.

[酸菜炖肉]

many thx buddy.

EDIT: I'm running 15's and I don't want to go bigger

hey, i know this post was from awhile ago but i was reading through and thought that i could help.
I use to run at QR (until a recent defect) and as i got my times down into the 62sec range i found the brakes were getting hot at the end of the sessions. this caused a long pedal and general brake fade. for the next track day that followed (november last year, before the power upgrade) i had upgraded the brake fluid to dot 5, bought some slotted rotors, removed the heat shieds from behind the front discs and fitted some project mu hc+ pads. this improved the brakes greatly without the need for an expensive refit of front end gear.
just my 2 cents!

[gumbs]

I haven't actually done anything to fix the problem yet....... I've been way too busy with uni and I haven't even considered taking any of my rides out towards the hills. I'm planning on some decent pads and fluid plus a general clean up of my brakes. Hopefully that will fix the problem, if it doesn't I'm going to look at slotted rotors.

[iggie]

hey guys

do DA9's have a electronic aerial?..

cheers

[Jon_51]

yes they do. it's huge aswell.

[iggie]

i thought so...mine just stays up..is that because of the aerial its self? (motor or somethin) or is there a switch somewhere..because i dnt have the stock stereo unit..

cheers

[saikou27]

i thought so...mine just stays up..is that because of the aerial its self? (motor or somethin) or is there a switch somewhere..because i dnt have the stock stereo unit..

cheers

well either its broken, unplugged or has not been hooked up to ur new head unit. if it makes a clunking noise everytime u turn the car on and off. if it does that means its the motor or something. if not and it just stays up it could be unplugged or not hooked up. maybe as a result of the motor being broken or ur headunits lack of control for electronic aerials

[iggie]

ahhk thanks saikou27

yeh because ive got a pioneer head unit so its probably not connected to it..

thanks

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

If anyone has some OLD Rotors (in Sydney) laying around, can they please Pm me.

I'm just looking for something as cheap as possible to get my brake upgrade going (front Rotors only)

Love you 2G teg people

[酸菜炖肉]

is the exhaust identical to 2nd gen crx?

[Ashwee]

Doubt it.

[ZCroofrack]

This is a strange graph: Ran it up the other day at MRC.

Was in 3rd gear.

4th gear ran 70.4KW

Power graph is rough, I've seen straighter power curves from turbo cars lol.
Does a weird thing after 4000RPM, like a vtec hit lol.

Stockish exhaust, pod, rest is standard.

Also air fuel ratio is crappy.... starts rich and goes leaner?

I'm thinking an ignition timing issue or something (read everything stuffed).
Thoughts anyone?

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Don't need the rotors, cheers guys and gal.

[A-man]

thats pretty good for stock

[gumbs]

Isn't running it in 3rd gear going to give an incorrect reading?

Anyone know where to buy decent dot 5 fluid? And any recommendations on brand? Supercheap only sell "super dot 4" I just ordered some project mu pads and have stripped my calipers down in preparation. Hopefully I'll have it all together to test it out on track day next wednesday.

[酸菜炖肉]

ferodo makes 5.1 fluid.you can order one from repco.ive used them for 2 track days now ,but they performed the same as super dot4 from my experience cant feel any difference.its like 70 bucks a bottle for trade price.
alternatively both lucas and motul rbf600s are pretty good.

[gumbs]

I just ended up using the super dot 4. Turns out its the brake booster thats causing the spungy pedal. Pedal is now rock solid when the car is off and a squishy piece of crap as soon as I start it. Anyone know if there are any after market solutions? I really don't want to go second hand and I'm assuming genuine honda is going to cost me my left nut, but I'll give them a call on monday and find out.

[A-man]

y not just disconnect the booster most cars do it thats the purpose of the booster to give pedal assistance

[gumbs]

I didn't know that was possible, how hard is it to do? So just to make sure I'm understanding you correctly all the booster does is make the pedal easier to press? Am I going to lose breaking power by removing it?

[A-man]

try it

when u have ur car running the car creates a vacumn the booster stores the vacumn when u push ur foot on the pedal u use the vacumn to give u an advantage if u pump ur pedal it will become more and more stiff (provided the engine is off)

it can still b spongey from needing a bleed up etc.

[DA9B18C]

hey guys,

will our DA9 seats fit into a EG hatch???

and of coarse vice versa???

[da9_boy]

Any got a pic of a DA9 integra with altezza lights?

cheers

[Ashwee]

with the seats you can make them fit I believe, just have to take the metal backing plates off and swap them around (as in put the EG plates on the DA seats to put it into the EG, or put DA plates on EG seats to put them into the DA)

And this is the quickest pic of the tezza's I can find.. can't say they're my cup of tea but here you go.
http://www.autobodycreations.com/g7_1992acuraintegra.jpg

[gumbs]

Da9B18c

As far as I know they won't fit easily and require abit of modification. My sister looked at doing it when I was wrecking a Da but decided it wasn't worth the hassel

Da9 boy
Don't, just don't. No one makes decent quality altezzas for Da9 so they will leak and they look like shit.

[DA9B18C]

"Da9 boy
Don't, just don't. No one makes decent quality altezzas for Da9 so they will leak and they look like shit."

X2

[da9_boy]

I know man.. I found a set on ebay brand new for 5 dollars start bid. I didnt even bother bidding because I think the stock tail lights look better anyway.. just wanted to see a pic as I was curious.

Thanks for the pic Ashwee.. Da9b18c I agree.. IMO those lights make the da9 so cheap and rice like.. a big no no

[gumbs]

Yay logic prevails, if you have an older (I think 92 or earlier) you can bleach the top part of the rear lights to make it white instead of pinkish.

[Jon_51]

92-93 yellow indicators ftw :p

does anyone know where they're wrecking a da9 in brisbane?

[Ashwee]

haha 92-93 tails make me want to die almost as much as the altezzas.

What parts are you after, Jon?

[gumbs]

What are you after? Boss had one when I was searching for parts a while back. Just ring around there are a few of them in wreckers, be warned they overcharge like crazy though.

[A-man]

they make crystal tails that look like stock tail lights but are clear lens they look great

i got the altezzas im gonna put on mine but there with the black background not the chrome the chrome looks tacky


as for da seats in a eg they dont fit its better for dc seats they BOLT in

[FR33K]

92-93 yellow indicators ftw :p

does anyone know where they're wrecking a da9 in brisbane?

you can make yours clear by taking the orange lens out

[Ashwee]

The crystal version taillights look great, I nearly bought some, but was a bit worried about how they might look 'too' aftermarket.. I really like them though. My other hesitation was that its not worth the defect.

[A-man]

how r they defective? cant u just change the colour of ur globes

[stocky]

If anyone is keen, I have a set of 92-93 rear lights with the inner deflectors removed

So they look stock but with a bit more detail

[Ashwee]

The crystal taillights dont have a reflector inside them, thus not roadworthy.

[A-man]

aw yeh true

i guess its only illegal if u get caught lol

[DA9]

Hey I jst gota Da9 With A B18a1 im thinking bout super charging it but dont really know where 2 start and im also looking for the mugen wing From the JDM XSi

[Jon_51]

looking for the mugen wing From the JDM XSi
good luck, you're going to need it.

[Ashwee]

A good start would be to read up on supercharging, see if you want to go that route or turbo it.

[A-man]

there is some really good kits on the market for supercharging b series engines

vortech make a kit and so do jackson racing


it depends what sort of supercharger u want if u want a scroll setup get a jr one if u want centrifugal then get a vortech the vortech ones imo r better because u can put intercoolers in them the same as a turbo also u can use stock intake manifold and u dont have clearance issues where as the jr one u need one for a b18a/b which r a little harder to get. plus this replaces the intake manifold.

if ur car was lhd u cant put the jrsc on because of the master cly so ur lucky u got more options

[DA9]

(To Moderator: Sorry to post this here, as i wanted to post this under market place but i do not have access to it. Do move it to the appropriate thread if necessary, Thanks!!!)

Hey guys,

I'm actually considering selling off my DA9, any interested buyers? I'll list out the mods that i have, they are;

1. JDM B18C Type R Engine Block (>80,000KMS done)
2. JDM OEM EK9 4-1 Headers
3. Rebuilt DC2R S80 Close Ratio Gearbox w/LSD and with brand new syncros
4. Cable to Hydraulic Conversion Kit by innovative
5. 15" Spoon Replica Rims (Rota Slip stream) weighs around 5.5kg each
6. Yokohama Advan Neova AD07; with around 65-75% thread left.
7. HSD Coilovers (Front: 12KG/mm; Rear: 10KG/mm)
8. Brand new innovative Urethane engine mounts
9. EBC Red Pads with RDA Slotted Rotars (all four)
10. 2.5" mandral bend Custom catback with highflow cat; Vibrant muffler
11. Walbro fuel pump
12. AFC Neo
13. Tune and Dyno at Tenegah Motorsports @ 159.9 HP @ Cypher

Other Smaller Mods;
1. Aftermarket deepdish Steering Wheel
2. DC2 Dashboard cluster
3. 4 channel alpine amplifer
4. Skunk2 Gearknob
5. K&N Open Pod High flow filter
6. Aftermarket headlights with black housing

Thats all i can think of for now. I've spent more than $12k or over for this car, PM me if you are keen and i'll send photos to you asap. I could do it a little cheaper but with some mods taken out, such as rims and tyres. Some of this thread forum-ers had seen them before if you guys are from WA.

If anyone is interested in taking the engine and gearbox alone i'll be willing to let it go alone as well. Just PM for further details.

Regards.

Hey i wana put a twin loop exhaust system on my DA i know mugen make them Dose any one else make them 2 suit DAs im also looking at a set of buddy club 4to1 hedders

[DA9B18C]

any buddy club B-series header should fit and as for the twinloop, there was a mugen DA exhaust somewhere along the way but was deff not twinloop.

the twinloop needs a decent amount of room under the rear section which a twinloop might have trouble fitting.

[gbpracing]

Nothing better than a DA9 Ohhh Yehhh

[gbpracing]

I have B18A block with B16a head and TypeR box, if that counts ? :D
Did you fit the B18c yourself ?

i like this idea!

i would like to know how many b18c da9's are around? i have 1 and i know actionman does too. any one else?

or what other then the stock engines do people have in their da9?[/QUOTE]

I think u better double check your muffler clearance because ours is mendral bend... EG, EK or DC they have an arc at the under carriage for the muffler to clear... DA doesn't have that benefit and might scrape your muffler if u lower your car too much and the muffler would or might hang abit low...

As for headers... i think u might have to shave ur cross memeber a little or get a traction bar (>$500) and remove a pieace of support metal that is connected to the stock cross member and chassis...

[Chriskoss]

Is anyone with me where I say DA's really look gay with any body kit. They look so much better with just lowered, nice rims and a nice front lip. I dont know why people put ugly, thin, flimsy body kits on, makes it look so rice and chat

/endrant lol

[DA9]

So true JDM all the way

[Chriskoss]

So true JDM all the way

Deffinately.

Like im not saying it cuz I wna be JDM.. I just hate seeing a potentially very clean car like an LS turned into a rice bucket.

P.S not sure about the electric water pump, but since the oem pump isnt electrical then extra wiring etc would be needed,

PM me if you dont have a copy of the da9 manual I got it on PDF, can send you the pages on the water pump/cooling system if you wanna look into it.

cheers

[DA9]

My uncle is sending me the owners manual but thanx do u know of any where on the coast or newy that specializes in honda tuning

[Chriskoss]

Nope and I would also like to find out LOL..

So hard to find good workshops these days..

Cost me 500 from Midas just to change timing belt seals and a new timing belt :S

I/We need to find a good place which knows/appreciates honda's and knows what they're talking about

[DA9]

So true if i find one ill let u no ive only had my da9 for a week i finally found one that wasnt totaly shat

[A-man]

whao man the thread has let a few more out of the wood work u have been activated now

we have alot of probs with spammers im sorta in the process of sorting it out but i been slack has somethin to do with all the work i been doin tonite i put a b18c into a ek

then zc into crx etc.


i like the bw kit
and the kaminari (i think its spelt like that) kit i think that looks good

wings west spoiler looks good

hiro body kit
mugen kit

theres a few that do look good

g2ic.com is making a lip spoiler aswell that look good

[gbpracing]

How do I go about joining up ??

[gbpracing]

lip kit > body kit. the lines of the DA are best kept subtle and sexy.

Almost with you... you've forgotten about the single body kit (if you could call it that) which looks orgasmic...

OEM!

[mooshie]

some kits can look good. I used to be a big fan and really wanted the BW kit. not flimsy at all either, this is very thick fibreglass and I think that it suits the lines of the car.

I do have a full OEM kit waiting to go on the car, but got other priorities under the bonnet and suspension at the moment.

then up the top where it says login, theres a register button to the right

Soz should of prob specified that haha

And im with Ashwee.. we dont need plastic stuck on to our DA's.. the body is sleek and sexy as is.. lip kit sets it off imo

Liek yea.. that BW kit is ok.. but i'd rather it without it.. so.. more money for other things :P

[A-man]

ur activated best way is to e-mail me to ensure u get activated

but i got both of u guys

[Ashwee]

I have plastic stuck on my DA, but only what I consider plastic which accentuates the normal lines, body kits are just so easy to get wrong, love them when done right however, but just need something to extend the body a little. The mugen rear bumper cover is also sexual.

[A-man]

ooo yeh thats what i got :p

[Ashwee]

I was gonna go buy one this week but I think I'll stick to my rear lip.. I need the rear lines as low as possible to match the rest.

[DA9B18C]

pics of mugen rear bar and where to buy!!

[DA9]

This may b a stupid question but Im thinking bout rebuilding the motor can i put the B18c Head on A b18a

[A-man]

no its not a stupid question and yes u can

theres two options if u wana cheat and make a race motor this is the better way coz u can put the toda killer cams in and not worry about oil up to the vtec etc.

but if u want vtec to work then u need to tap into the oil gallery and run a line to ur vtec its been done alot of times and there are plenty of kits avalible

search LS/VTEC

[DA9]

Ill look it up thanx

[ZCroofrack]

I'm in the process of doing this conversion at the moment!
Still need to get gaskets, bearings etc.

nice man

y didnt u use a b16 head? then u could get rid of the dual stage manifold

if u want a quick fix for the wiring job i sell complete harness conversions to vtec there very neat and designed for da9s

[ZCroofrack]

Removed the dual runner butterflies, so it's all good.

Pretty sorted in the wiring department, thanks anyways.
If I have any issues I'll shoot you a pm.

good to c more people moddin up the da's

If you do alot of the work yourself and don't get the Ballin' stuff (example, use a alternative radiator, not a new new one) I'm sure its do-able.

One of the members here just finished a 16k K-swap on his EG and that was with Hondata etc etc etc

hey guys, im parting after much disapointment. check out my thread.

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=118591

[Jon_51]

sorry to hear^ ... whats let you down? if you don't mind me asking

[DA9B18C]

Long story short, my original cheap conversion fgucked it from the start.

now getting it fixed finally and theres more then i expected wrong.

fgucked from the start + more then expected wrong = lots of money that
was not budget for.

A word of advice: Dont cheap out get it done right the first time, will be worth the wait.

now have to cut the losses and do the wise thing for the future. im not out of the game completely though.
my missus has a EG that inturn i will take when we get her a new car, then i will do it right.

1.handling (coils+sways+struts)
2.visuals/looks (JDM+wheels+personal flare)
3.power (anything vtec [b18c7] )

[Jon_51]

that's a shame. gl for the future.

[DA9B18C]

thanks man, im getting a bike in the mean time so very excited bout that.

[gumbs]

Be warned bikes ruin your motivation to do car modding. It taken me 18 months to fix my brakes and I still need to put a new booster on them, and that all I need to have the car track ready. Its just so hard to get up the motivation to spend my weekend in the garage making the car fast when the bike is sitting there already faster then the car will ever be....

[DA9B18C]

well, the EG for me will always be a toy/project. slowly but surely it will be great. it took me almost 3 years to get my DA to where it was. i had everything. all i needed was coils and i was ready!

oh well, sh!t happens, i must be positive!!! the EG has much more aftermarket potential as well as nearly any other Honda part will fit it somehow?!

[lo0se3r]

bikes the way to go lol

ive got one... and thinking about parting out my da lol

[DA9]

Hey im looking at upgrading my Camshafts and Cam Gears on my DA And would like some help with options I have a B18a

[A-man]

i bought recently some bc (crower) cams for my da
there turbo ones though however they make na cams

however the b18b and b20b cams will bolt into the b18a head
i was lookin at specs and looks like the b20b duration is more then a b18a

however i havent looked to much into this it would b interesting if they made much diff

[string]

By the time you've mucked about with cams you could have bought a VTEC head.

[A-man]

yeh but the only advantage is vtec and everyone wants to much for vtec heads

[string]

The only advantage of big cams is big cams? What's your point?

No point modifying a non-VTEC head when a stock VTEC head will perform better.

[DA9B18C]

i have a vtec head for sale to someone in melb, Cheaper for a DA9 owner!!

check out my for sale thread.

[Pezman]

hey im looking at getting new headlights for my ls. Ive been looking at the option racing's headlights.
- Has anybody bought them and are they any good?
- also my cars is red so what would be the best headlight to suit? cos there's chrome, titanium and black housing

For pics:
www.andysautosport.com/acura/1990_1993_integra/lights/headlights/option_racing/

[DA9B18C]

everyone with aftermarket headlights have black housing, get titaniumas they are a little dif but till look stock.

IMO JDM/USDM are the b0mb!!!!! and would pay stupid amounts of cash for real ones

[Jon_51]

jdm are the same as what we go here. usdm are the two piece ones

[DA9B18C]

JDM have the little fog light bit,
USDm are the 2 piece ones.

[Spoon DA9R]

yep i have them...very very nice

[doonbar]

yep i have them...very very nice

same here... selling them just quietly (cough cough) :thumbsup:

[Ashwee]

I've heard the reflector housing ones don't produce a very good light output. The black housing ones look very nice, I've seen people do projector retrofits in them. Not bad for the price anyway.

[Pezman]

cheers for the feedback. ill probably go the titanium to keep more stock looking.

[Ashwee]

Get the dark housing ones..

[Chriskoss]

cheers for the feedback. ill probably go the titanium to keep more stock looking.

Dude check out these on ebay..

Like half the price of what that website is saying, looks fairly identicle to me aswell

The same seller also has the crystal ones aswell

for 250 thats like alot less than 450 haha, just thought id give you a heads up

[Runt]

Ive got a pair of the black housing ones... have had em for almost 2yrs n still havent got round to modding em, I want to pull em apart mod the amber reflector section, where our park light sits and spray the edge of the housing black n seal it all up so it looks pro n im not worried about it fogging up. now.... to get over that fear of stuffing em up entirely.

Hey guys

I was wondering ive got a 91 da but just wondering would the wiring be the same as the 92?

Was thinking of doing a B18c transplant on my 91 or is the wiring hard to swop if i wanted to do it?

[string]

90-91 is OBD0 (pale yellow clips) and 92-93 is OBD1 (grey clips). B18C's from the VTi-R are OBD1 for the early years and OBD2 for the later ones.

There are conversion harnesses around for you to plug OBD1 engine/ecu/injectors into a stock OBD0 harness. Alternately you can do what I did and remove the entire OBD1 wiring harness from a 92-93 and put it in a 90-91 - I don't recommend it though; it wasn't fun.

Correct, Harness is way easier and cleaner. just need to extend the vtec wires.

Hi all
Im looking to replace my radiator Ive had a look at various kits but still unsure of the best option and would like some help

[DA9B18C]

i think mishimoto do a Da9 radiator?? or if ure good with a welder, adjust ure bottom rad brackets to fit a koyo half size EG one.

[mooshie]

Mishimoto do a DA9.

http://www.mishimoto.com/acura-radiator-performance-aluminum.html

I am looking at putting a DC Koyo radiator in mine as they are the same dimensions except for being 2 rows instead of 1 and a thicker core(this might be just because of the second row) not sure if volume is different.
Will have to adjust the mounts on the bottom and top to suit and I will be running aftermarket fans, so that won't matter.

other issue is if you have a standard front crossmember, it will foul on the drain plug, which makes changing out the cooolant a problem.

I like the look of the Koyo better than Mishimoto.

[gumbs]

What reasoning is there to run a brand name radiator? When my radiator cracked a tank at my parents place in bum**** no where I managed to get a decent dual row jobbie for $350 including frieght, and I haven't had a single cooling problem since. I don't see the point in upgrading stuff past your needs.

[ZCroofrack]

With a 9.2:1 compression ratio standard, does anyone know what approximate psi reading you would get for a comp test on the B18A? I don't have a vehicle manual. Did mine and got 200-205 PSI for all 4 cylinders, 89 model 240,000k.

Anyone else tested theirs?

[FR33K]

i have a DA9 radiator if anyone needs it..

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

Congrats on the new car :thumbsup:

[wahyu4ever]

DA9B18C thanks for the offer i will keep that one in mind when i need a harness i will come to you in future..

But i decided it was a too big of a job if i done a transplant from da to da because the other is in better shape. transfering a 93 Da into a 91 would be too much ****ing around that i dont really have much time.

Other words just too much effort

Thanks man

thanks

Im in the same boat as you..

Some people say all b18 are the same, vtec or non vtec.. but then again there are headers that are specifically for vtec b18s like b18c etc.. I think they will fit but maybe the difference is the design to accompany vtec (to get max gains etc) may be different..

It would be great if someone could clarify it once and for all!

[A-man]

nah b series are the same

including the gaskets they bolt on
the b18 headers are better coz i think the height of the b16 is smaller then a b18 so its possible that they wont fit. but again i might b wrong depending on the type of header

but if u get a b18c vtec header shouldnt make u loose power remember the reason for vtec is to give a smooth idle with more breathing up the top where our engines (b18a/b) are the same the whole time so if u put lumpy cams u wont get that smooth idle of a vtec but theres always a trade off for power usually drivability or reliability

i will find out next week when i get the exhurst changed

will let you guys know ;)

[DA9B18C]

All B headers will fit u might just need to grind your cross member down a little. i have a 92-93 DA9 and fitted Xforce 4-1 headers. i had to grind the cross member to get them in nice and snug.

there for sale as well if any one wants. Free modified cross member!

I just bought it from some radiator shop, and yes its aluminum. I had to swap the thermos over because I have a DA7 front end on my car (lying wrecker sold it to me as a DA9 front) but otherwise it was a straight bolt in.

[A-man]

the last header looks ok coz u can split it. but the 4-1 ones are better headers but im not sure they might hit the crossmember

How much did you have to grind down your cross member to fit it? a few mm?

[A-man]

:o lol sorry man mines turbo....

my dump pipe only just passes it if u want them to def fit then all u gotta do is put a traction bar in.

the traction bar lets u put more in and nearly all headers will fit then


but i think its like 10 15mm

[nobbs]

question which other hondas trailing arm bushes fit into ours?

[Ashwee]

The rear trailing arm bushes? The ones from the older civics are cross compatible, Nolathane part number 46180. You need the 85mm (outer diameter) for a DA.

[nobbs]

cheers, which older civic you reffering to?

[SHOGUNOVDDRK]

ED's no doubt Alex.

[Ashwee]

Yeah, was the ED, in my haste to post I'd forgotten. You can cross check in the nolathane catalogue but that is the correct part number. $155 if you were wondering

B18CR would be straight swap, its already got a b18 in it. If the b18Cr is obd0 you can use your same wiring harness. Shift linkage you can use DC2 parts, which means you can use EG parts too if you wanted.

if u can use the long ratio gearbox then u dont have to convert to hyd clutch... however u might b able to pull the bellhousing off and put the short ratio box in with the cable clutch otherwise u gotta convert it.

the engine mounts u should b able to use the da ones otherwise the dc ones will bolt straight in
either way u do need to change some of ur wiring and wire in ur vtec possibly change o2 sensor and depending on the b18 and the ecu u have u will prob have to change the ecu plugs from either obd0-1 to obd2a (the jdm type r has an obd2a ecu but only works as an obd1)

however this means u need to convert it. and put some wires in. id prob go and see if u can get the conversion harness ive got 1

Sorry to invade but are you saying dc integras engine mounts will fit in a da9 even with a b18a1 and the dc having the b18b?

[Ashwee]

From my experience no they do not bolt on.

[A-man]

as far as i know the engine ones arent a problem its the gearbox that is diff but if u have a half cut of a dc2 and if u have a da9 u should b able to work something out

remember the box on a da9 has a mount on the crossmember at the front to all dcs dont they only have upper lower and rear

[A-man]

but if its a b18b u dont really wana change the gearbox because its not worth it u only want to change the engine

in this case yes a b18b will bolt straight into a da9 with no mods and i dont think any wiring mods either (provided u use da9 box)

[Ashwee]

Yeah just the gearbox mount is different, and most likely your front engine mount, as in a DA that bolts directly to the transmission.

Koni yellows. I think there was a second hand set on the forsale forums here.

no not unless you run dc2R rear LCAs (lower control arms), then after that the shocks should be ok, this is the same with normal dc2's you need those LCAs. Dc2 and Dc2R LCas are different
