Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

i asked adrian from toda, he said i would probably require OBD1 as the OBD0 vtec ecu is hard to source. vtec wont kick in unless i get a OBD0 vtec ecu which is i think the CRX JDM 89-91 i think. which is hard to source.

engine mounts remain the same.
gearbox remains the same.
*ecu i gotta change from my knowledge.
dizzy has to be changed as its non vtec dizzy. aftermarket dizzys and stuff im not so sure about but i'll do my research tonight.

any else i might need to know ? if you can, point form please =)

Seeming as the CD5 Accord lip fits the 89-91 front bar (with modifications).

I assume the a type R styled lip for a CD5 would fit the 92-93 front bars with no cutting etc.

(apart from the drilling/screwing side of things)

Right or Wrong?

As there a heap cheaper to purchase than the DA9 Type R styled lip.

also on that note, in no contrast of making a sale. honestly (i forgot i had it spare). i have a obd0-obd1 conversion harness. real cheap. pm me for more info.

lol, you're not disagreeing about anything.
To run his b16 swap effectively he can stay obdo instead of obd1.
I was merly stating what can run his swap.
Besides both ecus need to be chipped or opened up to use them for ROM tuning anyways.

fair enough, valid point.

I'm looking to upgrade my suspension soon. Might get some coilovers, any recommendations? Would EG front folk/coilovers setup be better?

i have these same wheels so i'm looking to get the same ride hight, i might need some negative camber?

Any help?

lol due to the convex shape of the underside of our DA's (mainly caused by the exhaust) the ride height depicted is not street drivable, as the only place you could drive this height is on a track or a runway.

You couldn't take that too the track. Insufficient suspension travel, unless you plan on cruising around at 60kph.
