Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

[DA9-47]

Ahaha dude I don't think I've seen many grey interior da's !! None I think actually lol, nice work wiv ur p/s pump, start taking pics from now on then so we can c ur build man,

[espionage85]

strange that I cant seem to find anyone wrecking a teg with grey interior!? everyone has palmy blue or black (including mine)

i have a good interior in my DA9, just missing that fuse box cover, and I am not mad keen on swapping the interior out of the red car.

on another note, finished rebuilding my P/S pump today, finally no more messiness on the passenger side of the engine bay!
I suppose I really should have taken pics and done a write up, but that was a P72 pump. I do have a PR3 pump all in pieces that I could put back together with new seals if anyone is interested?

i mustve missed a chapter here lol.
what did you do with your p/s pump?

There's plenty of grey ones out there, some red integra's had grey interiors and basically all maroon ones did as well.

Anyone got a spare distributor they can lend/sell me? Need to see if the new one I got from distributor king is stuffed, or whether something else is preventing my car from starting...

A few pages back I posted pics of some other stuff I was doing under the engine bay and commented on my leaking power steering pump which was making the underside of the car quite messy.
Was going through a very small amount maybe 50ml every 10000km.
I just changed out all the seals, left the bearing as it was all good, really simple task in the end and the seals only cost about 20 bucks from honda.

BTW, Rayle, I have a concerto distributor that was on the red car and working although only one of the 3 bolts lines up... If you get desperate .

[espionage85]

ahhh ok, good job..
i thought you were doing some sort of tuck with all the lines hidden lol..

i just got rid of my p/s, and reconditioned the rack to non p/s..
hopefully it goes good and isnt gon be to hard to drive lol

I would love details please. mine is leaking like a mofo after the HG change

[mooshie]

it is really easy, if you start pulling it apart you can tell what goes back where. If you have a shop manual for a DC2/4 the power steering section starts on about page 628.
Seals that you will need listed below although there are a couple of the smaller ones that you can find in any o-ring multi pack (i used a couple)

11 91249-P02-003 SEAL, POWER STEERING PUMP
12 91317-P02-003 O-RING (5.8X1.9) (NOK)
13 91345-PY3-000 O-RING (13.0X1.9)
14 91346-PY3-000 O-RING (22.1X1.9)
15 91347-PY3-000 O-RING (16.8X1.9)
16 91348-PY3-000 O-RING (54.0X1.9)
17 91349-PY3-000 O-RING (68.5X1.9)

just make sure you torque the 6mm bolts to 11nm and the 8mm bolts to about 22, pully bolt is reverse thread and torques to about 64nm. I used a screwdriver wedged in one of the holes of the pully to hold it still while using the spanner on the nut. I did break 2 of the 6mm bolts but luckily got them out again before I decided to go and purchase a 1/4in torque wrench cos my big one cant go down to such low numbers.

[Bludger]

sheizzz, buying a 1/4 torque wrench is just overkill man. so much outlay for something not going to be used much.will the system bleed itself of all the bubbles after you put it back together?

[mooshie]

Meh, only cost $75 and I will use it again, always breaking small bolts...

System bleeds itself, but I would recommend having someone on hand to add more fluid to the resevoir while you start the car.
Just turn lock to lock a few times and all the air comes out

[mooshie]

Oh, there is also another O-ring that goes on the high pressure hose from the top of the pump it is not listed in any schematics I have found so far so no idea on the part number. I *think* I used a 9mmx1.9mm O-ring from my generic pack which had to stretch a tiny bit but got on there and should seal nicely.

Just to remind everybody, this is for a P72 pump from a B18C NOT for a PR3 DA9 pump which is completely different in design.

hey guys are we able to go 16x8 with 0 offset on our da9s?
