Adm_rsx's Rotrex build part DEUCE

[PetefromtheStreets]

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?

It's 6pm EST in MD. motors in. Waiting in 2 sensors and to button things up like header, exhaust, make an intake wire in wideband AGAIN! And add fluids.

Don't forget your oil cooler, intercooler, and radiator

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.

Those hose bending things are pricey per unit, but sure as hell make life easier! I have one on my oil return, very awesome things. And the hair clips were a great idea, I agree!

That is a bit weird, I'd contact AEM and see what they say. Did you replace the O2 sensor on it?

Hahaha. Yea I need those things at minimum as well lmao
The clips definitely make life easier. I hate using cotter pins.

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.

[PetefromtheStreets]

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.



Here's the garage

Thanks mark! Yea she's rolling soon now. Ordered a seat bracket for the kirkey to go in. So that's squared away. Then I have to wait for this wideband harness to come in as well.

[vdubkilla]

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