Hi all.
Bit of background - I blew up my engine. Cooked it ages ago, then finally the head-gasket went. Lots of white smoke from exhaust, but the electrics were OK.
ECU is an S300 Hondata...
Preamble - So a few years ago I cooked my B18C7 when the bottom radiator hose-clamp broke mid-drive. Once it cooled down I replaced the fluids etc & it still worked. Yay! :)
Later on I changed the...
Sorry fn2au, I can't help you much apart from suggesting you get a decent workshop to check out your VTEC solenoid. The ECU may be trying to adjust, but VTEC may not be activating on the occasions...
OK, I haven't actually put it over the weighbridge, so I'm guessing really.
Take a Leyland with the conversion kit (Metro frame & hubs), add twin tanks, slightly heavier engine, extra bracing to fit...
Not too low for me. :) Tyres are 175-45-13's
Once the engine is back in, I'll be able to use first gear again, & not have to change into 5th at 60km/h
Unfortunately it also means I will be...
OK, thanks. That's a big relief! :)
I've had the engine in & out numerous times, but never noticed it before. When it's in, there's no room to see.
I was scared that the brand new box might have...
Just a quick question; I just got my engine back after getting a new final drive fitted (3.4FD since you ask, & no that's not a typo) & since I haven't put it back in the car yet, I have enough room...
Don't think I need a short shifter. The car is a beast, but it's still 'just' a daily driven car. Having driven a fair few different cars, & particularly old ones, the basic honda gearshift is...
Thanks. After mooshie posted, I contacted various wreckers online to try to find one, but so far the only one that replied with a quote was Hondworld. I'm giving the other ones a couple more days...
That's a hassle then. :( Probably only have a few choices. 1 - Buy a new AC compressor that's long enough to get the pulley in the right place, 2 - Alter the bracket holding it to make the pulleys...
Since no-one else is jumping in.... I shall make a dazzling leap out of the Noob forum.
I cannot answer your question directly, as I don't know the distance, but how I measured mine was to wrap...
It's the mini gear-lever bushings that are stuffed - The 'bushings' are essentially a metal ball at the bottom of the gear lever below the pivot point, which fits into a metal cup at the end of the...
Thanks for the quick reply. Just clarifying - Do you mean the gear changer or gearbox?
I'm looking at the changer assembly - The gear lever, the bit below that, & the two rods connecting to the...
Hi. As per the title - My 1977 mini gear changer is flogged out, & due to the reduced throw of the B18C gearbox compared to the changer, I need to replace it soon. I am having trouble sourcing a...
Use a mini shell - It will be easier, it has been done before, & you will not need quite as wide guards to fit the wheels in. It will still cost you over 30 grand, even if you can do most of it...
Found the info I am after - BlkCrx posted it in response to a question about "Running Rich" in the Technical Forum. Found it by searching for "Oxygen Sensor Voltage" :) - It was the 'voltage' bit...
The ECU can (According to the instructions) be tuned by selecting the O2 reading value that I want, then telling the ECU to change the fuelling map to make it fit that value. Therefore if I wire it...
OK, I have searched etc - Found the ecu pinout info in Technical, but unfortunately it doesn't help me, or maybe it does & I'm just stupid today. A couple of hopefully quick questions;
Can anyone...
OK, just very briefly delving into smart-bum mode to say that PWM modes are on page 58, which is PWM vs RPM or KPA or Throttle % or Idle Control, but (Returning to helpful mode) I agree, it's not...
Err, I don't want to nit-pick too much, as the end result is the same, but from the 4424 pdf that I am looking at right now, on page 54 is an example of using one of the outputs to control a shift...
