Dedicated DA9 Q & A thread

[mooshie]

What Stevo is saying is that the opening on the IM needs to be 70mm as well, usually even aftermarket ones don't come that big. Just measure up to check, you might need to get it bored out to match.
70mm is huge for a NA build up, especially without cams etc.

ive got a skunk2 intake manifold, and unmodifed its bout 63mm i had to bore out more,
im only gonna run 68mm with cams, 70mm seems alot for NA

[espionage85]

ive got a pair of sr3 which i wanna throw into my DA,
does anyone know what type or brand of rails there are out there to make this happen?

Sorry ben, not exactly a quick response but our cars run approx +40 offset, +55 means that it will sit in further under the guard and you may have issues with the wheel or tyre rubbing suspension or the wheel well.
I would think that it will still fit ok though if you can ask the seller for a quick test fit on the front as this is more likely to be the problem end of the car when turning to full lock.
Could get a spacer too if you are keen on that.

Stock B18C2 ina da ? whos done it on here need info gear box part and the ecu =)

[DA9-47]

Thanks guys, it will need to be bored as i/m is 68mm, so will get that done asap!! Thanks guys,

Will be going cams soon but may need to drive with 70mm t/b & I/m with stock cams, u guys think this could be a problem??

If so and I know it defeats the purpose temporarily , but would ristricting the airflow via intake pipe to make less air come in untill I get cams work?

Thanx for helpn guys, and pointing out I needed to bore out I/M stevo

[stevo716]

nah no need to restrict anythin
its more u wont use the benefit of 70mm without cams and a tune
it shud run fine

was hoping it won't be bad cause need to drive it in 3 months lolz

Adriano, what info exactly are you after?all depends on budget and what you can do yourself.
For ECU you can just go the standard B18C item with a OBD-1 conversion which just means a few changes to the wiring harness really- http://www.xenocron.com/ecu-conversi...51cbc4b51934fd makes it easy.
For the gearbox I got a B16 cable box from a CRX as my motor didnt come with a gearbox. this is probably the easiest way to do things but cable boxes are becoming rarer these days so you could always do a hydraulic conversion using a kit from Hasport http://hasport.com/store/index.php/cma.html or Innovative http://www.innovativemounts.com/Prod...ductCode=41000 or a number of other companies, you would also need a hydraulic box mount to do this.
If you are really lazy you can just use your standard box, but the ratios are pretty average for VTEC.

just finished piecing together my home made cai... went to test fit it to decide where mounting bracket would be needed and realised its a quarter inch too big for the throttle body anyone know of any companys making a 3 inch to 2 3/4 inch reducer with a 45 degree bend?
