BEAUTIFUL!

 

I'm talking about cocoa not percy Your swap is sick though, can't wait till you stroke her

 

That is beautifully done. Props! Any plans on tuning her on the dyno?

 

I was able to get the day off tomorrow and ill be preppin her up all day. Work out all the kinks. Last I checked the engine light was on. Im gonna have to finish it. Whats important is that the engine started meaning the mechanical and electrical aspects are fine. In about a week or two im getting it tuned. I honestly cant wait to see what numbers ill be putting down. I've pretty much done everything there is to do as far as mods. Stroker next. First I take a break and save for more than just the car. I need a breather.

 

^ I know exactly how you feel. I typically only spend during the summer on the car. Throughout the rest of the year, I take a breather and save up for the summer plans.

Well mad props again to you man. It looks great.

 

Well I completed everything there was to complete today. Good thing is everything looks sick. Much nicer than what i originaly expected. The bad part is that the car won't start now. I say everything mechanicaly is fine. I think i might have crossed a few connectors. I think I plugged my EGR in the MAP. Stupid things like that. Till i then here are some pics. Vids will come soon.

 

Looks great arber, should reroute that MSD wire though. Engine bay looks super clean

 

Wish my EB was that clean.

So, Arber, what do you plan on doing with the CL? Quarter mile running it? Auto-x?

 

Props to you and everybody that has done a swap to a CL.


Really like the valve-cover color.

 

thats like creepy. I think you posted this same thing in another thread as well.

Supraman, thats looking really good man, im liking the valve color!

 

woohoo good times man, good times. Congrats!

 

looks good arber. i found a few new tricks on tuckin some more harness' and vacuum lines if ur interested.

i hope you paint the "DOHC" too.

 

How the hell did I miss this thread? Looks amazing man... glad she's up and running.

 

well. Its finished. I have two more issues which I can honestly say im too tired and too inpatient to deal with. The engine light is on and I will need to resolve it thru the S300. Check what it is and squash it. Second I idle at 3k as seen on the vid. Yesterday the car wouldn't start. Thats cause I had plugged the MAP on the TPS line and the TPS on the MAP line. lol Then while bolting the tranny up I had caught a connector. It kept frying the engine therefore the ECU kept getting shocked. After I did all these it fired up. Still rough. After a few warm ups it kinda stabilized and was able to drive it around the parking lot. I almost forgot how it drives. Im thinking maybe friday or next week ill take it to the shop who has done work for me before and have the guy check out the idle problem. Have fun with the vid and pics.




Video is cooking give a few.

 

Glad you got her back up and running, good luck with finding out what the CEL is about, hopefully its nothing major.

Did you paint the bumper? and whys that lip look so messed up in the middle? whatd you hit?

bumper is unpainted and will remain that way. lip was purchased used.
im too tired to think. anyone know how i might be able to reduce my idle??

 

looks sweet man, can't wait to see it all finished up

 

the next vids will prob be of e-town and or Percy gettin a woopen

 

isnt there a screw on the tb that controls it? i think that its usually a flat head screw and is behind some gunky looking stuff

 

werd my idle is really high too, fluctuates between 900 and 2000 sometimes. I'm having cooling issues though. Probably need to change thermostat.

 

do u have enough coolant?

 

Aww, come on man. Who dosn't want to Cocoa's car?

 

I'd think so, radiator is full, reserve tank is full, idk what it could be besides the thermostat so i'm gonna give it a look-see.

 

i dont think thats a reserve tank. its an overflow catch tank. your thermostat is located under your egr. take out the nuts. remove the thermostat and drive the car. if the prob goes away its the thermostat. if it doesnt then its something else. goodluck

 

another trick is. put the thermostat in boiling hot water like in a pot on ur stove. and if the thermostat opens then its fine.

but to be honest thermostats are so damn cheap it doesnt hurt to replace it neways.

another possibility with ur temp flucuating is a bad ground. my temp gauge along with other things was going nuts, and all it ended up being was a bad ground. i thought it was wiring problems from the swap.

 

Thanks guys i'll try that stuff out. When we having the H series CL meet? I wanna practice my picture taking

 

well when i get the car tune. 3 weeks i say?
matt? talk to your boy Shawn.

 

Chris make sure you have this sensor plugged or even have that housing. Like i said my second engine didn't come with the connection.

 

make it 4 weeks and i'll be down for a cruise

 

lol
about time allen.
im still under the impression that ur a noshow. i think we gonna have a gangbang with brokedick tranny at the meet lol

 

I had that same issue with my swap, among other fun things...


what ECU u running?

 

S300 P28

 

s300 with boost option??

 

yes it is enabled lol

 

yes? future plans?

 

Got it all taken care of, I was just short a lil more than a gallon on coolant . Car runs well now. Just waiting for my conversion harness and P28 in the mail and i'll be seeing 8k!

Allan I'm glad to hear your car is gonna be running soon! You def gotta come down for the cruise, the only 2 H23a VTEC CL's in known existence in one place!

 

you F23 ecu is really keeping your car from its true potential. SOHC vs DOHC
its all about air mang

yeah and future plans are def forced air. thats actually 2.49 forced induction

 

cleaned her. My engine light is code10. intake air temperature sensor. Its not even plugged. The euro-r mani doesn't even have a port for it. We will see. I hooked up the S300 to the laptop today for the first time. Real cool thing. The car still idles very high and spits black chunky smoke when reving. I really think i need to re-adjust my valves. I drove it around the parking lot today and damn it felt good. Its loud as fuck. Sounds like a mean ass honda.
