I also need an intake. Anybody got anything I can borrow a while? Lol
Just buy a piping kit for $120 off eBay lol and slap that 92 on there foo! :p
Don't wanna spend any money on part I don't plan to keep. But the 92 won't be going on right away. This k24 I "supposed" to be my spare motor. That was the stipulation of me being able to buy it. I'll work around it after a few weeks. Lol.Quote:

Looks fucking amazing! A fresh valve cover goes along way :)
Hahahaha.. Yeah I hear ya. Just slap the 92 on :p
You know you will miss the power and the instant boost response :p
Haha jk looks good bud
Hahaha. Your not lying man. I have missed boost since it blew up again. Lol. Trust me the blower will make its debut again shortly. I plan to street tune the car mostly and I'll pay to do a couple pulls on the dyno locally.Quote:

Thanks dude. Possibly picking up the remaining 2 sensors today. Then I can put the motor in. I had to do some wiring clean up all day yesterday. It was a horrible mess.Quote:

Today was quite unsuccessful. Being a single parent, finding time to work on the racecar is near impossible. So I manage to get an hour here and there to work on it but then I'm back on duty. I can't complain though, He's the best little guy ever. But I do work on the car once he's asleep. Problem then is my mom is asleep so I have to be quiet. I don't know if any of you have tried to pull and replace a motor in near silence but you get very little accomplished.
Today was heater hoses. Since the tsx motor has the ports just a tad farther away then the rsx motor I had to get regular hose and route it myself. No big deal. But I used a couple pieces to help make the bends possible with a straight non pre-formed hose.
Here's how they came out.

Trying to make those bends would be impossible without these things.

While I was at the store I bought hair clips for the shifter cables as well.

Looks pretty good to me. Much better then fussing with cotter pins and personally looks better.
So that's all I've gotten to do so far this week.
So after my son went to sleep I went back to the garage to install my new wideband sensor and to rewire the gauge. All said and done the gauge stays at 14.8 after it cycles on. It's in position P0-P1. Even after the O2 heats up in open atmosphere it stays at 14.8 and stays there even when brakekleen soaked rag is on it. Connections are tight and the sensor is BRAND new. I'll do a continuity check later tonight between the ends to make sure all is good. But do you guys have any experience with this issue?
Don't forget your oil cooler, intercooler, and radiator :beer:Quote:

And yup the sensor is brand spankin new. Im going to check conductivity between both ends of my cable and see if there's a broken wire or short.
I'm 98% sure the harness for my wideband is bad. Colors were mismatched when doing conductivity tests ect. So I'm ordering a new harness today/tonight. Getting plugs tomorrow or Saturday and finalizing everything else this weekend. Hopefully the harness can get shipped fast and we'll have a first start early next week.
My friend (who lurks and doesn't post on here yet!!!!) had a couple left over pressure plate bolts from the stock clutch so we used them to hold down his clutch slave cylinder. I thought it looked good enough that I asked for 2 so I could do mine. Lol. It's a simple sweet pleasure and keeps me going. Lol.

Almost second nature at this point. Haven't slept in forever lol. When the boy goes down I'm out to the garage. Haha.Quote:

My nylon hose from summit, and my remaining push to connect air fittings come in from McMaster-carr... I'll be able to start the thing up.
Looked like Christmas today at work. Was receiving boxes left an right from UPS and FedEx.
Summit:
Kirkey seat cover for a badass seat
1/8" nylon hose for pressure regulator
1/4" nylon hose for BOV

CRSX:
Vibrant O2 sensor bungs for aem wideband sensor
And plugs.
McMaster-Carr:
1/4" push-to-connect fitting
1/8" push-to-connect fitting
http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/z...D443D707DA.jpg
Should be able to start the car tonight. Just have to weld to O2 bung in and route the UEGO harness to the gauge.
Well I couldn't start the car only because the 2 air fittings I received today were too big. I ordered 1/4" NPT. I knew better but didn't check first so lesson learned.
But I managed to weld in the new O2 bung. And my friend put the cover on my seat. It's actually more comfortable then I thought. Thankfully. Lol
http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/z...22680C5EFB.jpg
Once I hit that point I decided to wait until tomorrow to start it. I'll have more time to triple check things. And I just finished grinding the calipers to fit the 15" wheels for my slicks.

Car started to overheat on its first start up because the thermostat wasn't opening. So I took it out all together.
But the car was picking up quite a bit of knock doing a couple free revs. Not very high. Maybe 3500-4k rpm.
I had the same issue n it ended up being my valve adjustment on the knockQuote:

What's up mark. I had the radiator cap off still for those exact reasons. To allow the system to bleed out. Problem was my radiator was ice cold. As we're both coolant hoses. So I pulled the T stat out and did like you mentioned by pouring coolant into the head and block directly. But the car runs at 150-170 now. Don't even need the fan on anymore. LolQuote:

Cool Adam glad you got thell I didn't even realize you were all motor this time guess I need to pay a lil more attention is evrything ok with the car now or ya still have any issues left to take care of ?
Yea man. Took the blower off to ensure this motor I picked up was a good sound enginepQuote:

It's an internally stock motor so I didn't want to break it open just yet.
And superchargers react well to higher compression.
I've been tuning the car over the past few days but for some reason I can get the thing to idle down for shit. It idles about 1700-2k. It's freaking stupid and I can't quite figure out why.
But as I was tuning... a b16 hatch, a G35 6speed, and vette all wanted a shot at the rsx.
I raced the g35 first. Didn't have any issue pulling right off the jump.
Raced the hatch an that too I didn't have an issue with pulling.
The vette though, That posed a threat. 3rd gear roll on I jumped out about a car. Then he would cruise right on by. We ran it like 4 times. Same result every time. I didn't expect anything different being its an all stock k24a2 with bolt ons street tuned.
But when the blower goes on we are goin to run it back again.
