So what are you doing for management anyway? Can the stock ECU handle everything?

- Wed Jun 24, 2009 7:23 pm #125611 Stock ecu should handle it mainly im just hard tuning it a bit if need be like static time as well as using that timing gear......

So update time i guess

Sold my Z6 trans just going to end up using another one but yea sold that and a clutch and got my check in today so i had some money to burn and a motor to finish up and stuff like that so i spent quite a bit today

Parts bought
-hoses
-new radiator and fan
-O2 sensors
-Clutch kit
-axel nuts
-Thermostat and gasket as well as a obd1 housing so i dont have to use the D15b2's fan switch tho i am keeping it in there for now just because

But yea might do some work today i know im borrowing a friends engine lift for the weekend and hopefully she will be in and stuff this weekend

Also purchased a integra subframe brace bar or something its a small bar that attatches to the subframe on top and yea it will bolt right up to the civics subframe

Hopefully will have pictures tonight but most likely will have them tomarrow or friday of the motor being done and stuff since got alot of crap to do still......

Not much really different except the lines have been run and i found out by looking at pictures the reason i was haveing trouble with the lines was because the skunk 2 was designed for a Y8 and would work better in one. but meh i made it work for my motor so now all i really have to do is get it off the stand after some minor tweaks hookup the flywheel and clutch assembly then transmition and drop her in.....and hope and pray i have all the bolts still

Anyhow so yesturdays weather was crap so best i did was make my ground wires no need for an update there. so today was a better day except for the fact that i had to keep going to the parts store due to them getting me the wrong side lower mount but its all good now. Engine is pretty much set except fr the tb making a gasket soon. and yea besides that i have started work on interior stuff :hehe: shes almost done and by almost i am dead broke and still need to get money to put her on the road and do the normal stuff......but enough talk pictures of engine

And yea my rear carpet i did a test on and liked it so yea thats why i took a pic of the spray can i used since it did the job perfectly for just 0.96 a pop and it took about 2 cans to get the desired effect so im guessing somewhere between 5-6 for the interior carpet.

Already started painting the carpet but it was sun damaged blue ish in color from a black interior teg

Image

see the difference lol

And the paint i used
