I've got a bunch of Honda parts from my old EJ1. PM me if you need stuff.

Good luck! Those EFs are a blast.

Hell yeah. Built bottom end or stock internals?

I'm all for people posting about their Hondas in here.

Stock D16Z6 with a big T3 .60/.63 from a 300ZX. I managed to keep the front bumper intact too, no massive intercooler in your face. It was a fun build, but never really went anywhere. I got it tuned and then real life took over and I eventually sold it for $500. I still have an AL radiator, moates romulator, chipped p72, and the LC1.

Yeah, it was a fun car for sure. There's a pretty lengthy thread in the archives. 450cc DSM blue tops, tuned in CROME.

Considering I have no idea if they work, email me and I'll ship them over. Username at Google mail.

Never tried turbo civic life myself. I've worked on and driven a ton though. Weird how a car can roll through a friend group. For a while my DD was an EG hatch that I was the third owner of without it changing where it parked.


It's weird because I know that's happening because I do the same thing but brains are dumb.

Some of my friends finished their vaccines recently and i got to share that whiskey with them. Very popular, thanks again.


Ask away. I love explaining the theory behind this stuff.

They're fun as gently caress. I'm glad I sold mine because it was definitely jail bait.

I contacted my closest hondata dealer about getting one and "sorry we no longer carry that item"

Jhp USA says they're in stock so I ordered one off their website. Fingers crossed.

Rust, snags, and general appearance. Capped tubes look pro.

IME, a complete mess. Hopefully they've got automated routines to clean it up and de-clutter, but referring I've seen in this realm is super tiny triangles with no consistent geometry. I'll be watching to see how you make out, though.

Got the nose off the ffr and then my neighbor came over and asked if I could look at her Santa Fe. Transmission issues. Not something I know a lot about but said I'd plug in the code reader and check the fluid levels. 1 cel for secondary O2. Fluids low but didn't take much to top off.

Drive it around and it's stuck in first but feels fine for first. Just won't shift.

Some googling later apparently it's a common problem if you spill a drink on the center console.

Pulled all that out, blew a bunch of ???? out of the plugs and now it has gears again. Apparently it thinks it's in sport mode but can't see your inputs if you put it in sport mode and manually shift.

What a weird failure mode.

It doesn't involve the window switch, so it's not that weird.

My friend says a tune will fix this.

This tells me that you don't have the correct tune, aren't doing it yourself, and don't have a shop lined up. This points to you driving it with a mismatched or base tune. You'll blow poo poo up if you keep doing that. You need to get a wideband and datalogging setup going immediately.

Hoo boy, that wiring needs some love. Crimped spades on exposed relays, a bunch of grounds with questionable crimp ring terminals, no heatshrink.

We can help you. I might even have some parts from my turbo D series. I sent the ECU to someone on here I think, but I might have the HuLog, a GM 3-bar, an Ostrich, and maybe my old Innovate wideband O2.

You did it was me lol. I upgraded it to hondata so I'm paying it forward by sending Fallows the ostrich that came with it.

LOL. My memory isn't great since baby shark came along.

And Fallows, we can get that thing sorted but you're gonna need to take your time and do poo poo right. Like Honda Whisperer says, "little stuff" like coolant temp is important. Any sort of electrical fuckery is going to play havoc with tuning and reliability. It sounds like a lot of people have had their hands in/on this car, and the first step is to get everything squared away without pushing 10# of boost on an untuned ECU. It'll cost money to do it right, but you'll end up with a reliable car that makes good power instead of a car that makes crappy power and blows motors. If you're running that rich, you're washing down the cylinder walls and diluting the oil, probably pretty badly. I street tuned my EJ1, and it was way faster than it should have been. I never got the funds to Dyno tune it, but if I was in the same position now, I'd have skipped the street and just paid for a good tune. I was using CROME. poo poo's come a long way in 15 years.

Holy poo poo, CROME is back. John Cui disappeared for a while and it was abandonware. It looks exactly the same. It worked but was kinda kludgy. Somewhere I have a laptop with a legit license, but for $50, that's awesome.

Yeah I'm utterly floored that crome was the survivor. Browsing pgmfi.org feels like playing fallout.

I was on homemade turbo more than pgmfi. HMT was about what you'd expect for that era of the Internet. Is Xenocron still around doing tuning and sales? He was in Jersey, iirc. I wonder who took over CROME.

Never tried gaffers tape, I'll get some, used plenty of duct tape though. Lotta zip ties on this thing. I've been replacing them as I find them. They're old enough to be brittle.

Gaffers tape has a fabric base and the adhesive is bonded way better so it doesn't leave a sticky mess. It's also able to handle heat without melting. It's absolutely worth the cost. The GafferPower brand from Amazon is decent, but not quite as nice as the professional brands.
