not a problem, im more worried about this tranny BS then that..

thanks alot

 

so did you get some prelude axels?

 

i got the pass. 4th gen axle like 20min ago and im goin out right now for round 3 of this

..wish me luck

 

Good luck alan!

 

Damn man

 

3rd times a charm

she's all done, slid in nice with of course a little help from the hammer..

took her for a ride and the acceleration is soo much better, im starting to like this motor ..all i need now is to get the p28 street tuned cuz there is still some kinks to work out cuz it has a h22 basemap on it and the h23 isn't setup exactly as the h22.

For the most part im happy & glad this shit is over but im still not happy power wise (never am). Working on P&P intake manifold, bored TB, full 2.5" exhaust & if after that im still not pleased then im going into the head

Of course that 3.5 is still kicking around in the back of my head but we'll save that for another day

 

congrats man, enjoy the swap, even though it winter
and post pics ffs!

 

Yessss!!! thats whassup man. I'm glad its finally running =). Take some pics! And i got a couple tips on the mods u just mentioned, i'll PM you.

If u go 3.5, you gonna put it in another CL or take out ur current setup?

 

pm replied.

As for the 3.5 that's still a long shot but i already got everything priced out ready to go the only thing really holding me back is trying to find a place to wire it. I could always see if i could ship out the wiring harness to Cali where Cocoa got his done and see if they'd be able to do it for me.

But the 3.5 is still some time away cuz i'd have to have some serious funds laying around and it'll be done proper so it won't be happening anytime in the next couple years until i finish school and start makin some good money. But it is my long term goal with this car.

 

sweet man. now lets see some pictures.

BTW i need a grill too. havent had one for like a month.

 

ya pics are coming soon & i hate not having a grille. Acura wants $200 for the backing piece so fuck that but i can't find one used. I'm sure one will turn up eventually

 

i can get mine for $135 through acura, but im still not satisfied. my boy works at a junkyard but hes takin his sweet ass time to help me out.

what kind of header do you have. im in the market for a good one, no more DC Sports crap.

 

stock as shit. Im actually looking around right now for a good header but the really good ones are like $1000 +

 

yea man i want a Six Sigma Header soooo bad.

but look at GReddy or ESP. there better then DC and a little afforable. it just sucks that we have to have our headers custom lengthed to bolt up the exhaust.

im assuming you dont have a cat or straight pipe either right?

 

allan u just need the back piece for a 97?

 

y u got one lying around??

 

yup just the back piece. I have the trim and the "A"wing thingy.

 

Actually i still have the cat and all that. Its the h22 header/downpipe then the stock CL exhaust.

Im gettin the whole exhaust done though some time over the winter.

 

how did you manage to keep the cat??

 

LOL matt needs 1 too after his fell off from being ziptied haha

 

ill post of the pics later of what it looks like. lol

 

from what i remember the shop cut the downpipe shorter so that it became flush with the cat.

i'll re-check 2morrow but im pretty sure thats how it went

 

Got acouple pics like 10min ago but the camera died after the second pic





Dont mind the dirtyness, ghetto stock header & the mess. Im pulling the whole ABS unit, cruise control and cleaning up all the loose wires to really free up some space in there.

 

are you not running power steering?

 

nope cuz the f22 bracket won't bolt up to the head and the h22 bracket doesn't fit either cuz it hits the f22 alternator bracket. I could shave down the H22 bracket but no PS it aint all that bad, you learn to live with it, even parking isn't that bad anymore.

 

Nice work allan

 

looks nice but no ps cruise sucks. more pics dude

 

Sorry about the delay. I was busy all last week with work and Christmas shopping, then got hit with a 102 fever and flu all this week. I shipped it out this morning, but I didn't have your name. So I used your Azine name instead. I shipped it UPS ground/Canada Standard. I'll pm you the tracking number as well as the cost. When I get home, I'll scan you a copy of the receipt.

 

ooooh i like! nice matching valve cover lol. More pics! Def looks like it needs a wire tuck or something of the sort.

 

yea remove the rest of the P/S stuff and start swapping in Accord Non-ABS parts.

 

Did it come in yet?

 

Did they come in yet? My pm box is full again. When I get home, I'll sort it again.

 

ya it came in late last week and looks mint..

sorry about takin soo long to paypal the money, the car is just taking up all my time cuz she aint starting so thats all i've been dealing with for the last little while, but i'll send it within the next week. Thanks
