abunai civic (present)


since i have a chipped ecu and tuner set engine light as a swift light before redline
a friend gave me a good idea about making a swift light using a led,wire and a diode.
after experiment with different positions i decided to keep it in the middle of the cluster.

Bought a rear sway bar from a eudm civic vti.
It's a 15mm one.
Then painted it championship white
and install it with prothane red bushings and brand new 555 replacement endlinks.
Using a 22mm at front the rear end pops out easyer on lift off throttle
that scared the hell out of me a few times lol

Made this transition so exhaust gasses can flow better it's 63.5mm to 76mm.
My buddy weld it for free !

Tegiwa header took a really good color.

Hella getto exhaust manifold mounting tecnique lol.
I need the '99 spec itr exhaust manifold bracket ,instead i used the '96 spec i had with a longer bolt and some nuts.
Looks ugly but it works for me so far.

Spoon sports oil pan heatshield keeps themps down a bit.

As mentioned car had some start up issues
did several maintenance trying to solve them
finally ended up changing the injectors
so i bought a set from tegiwa this time
they came in oem boxing.

After injectors installed car problems fixed
then had the old injectors tested
results was not good 2/4 injectors was in bad shape.

Also did a compression and leak down test everything was good nothing melted so far so good for the engine.

Looking well my man ! Dude what way have you run your pcv valve and standard valve cover breeder hose ?
Did you plug your pcv opening on inlet, and run it to a catch can along with valve cover breeder hose ,and vent to atmosphere?
 
Injectors were the problem , how much did the injectors cost from Tegiwa?
Glad you have her running good now .
 
bought some parts from honda
fuel cap
fuel pump reley
coil

i believe my coil is dying since car starts with difficulty...
Would your car only have a hard start after its been driving and turned off for 5 min ,when hot ? Or did it do it all the time hot and cold starts?

yup
this how it goes

blocked intake manifold pcv port
removed pcv valve and canister completely
used fittings on the back of the block to vent to atmosphere through a catch can (the one next to the battery)

standard valve cover vent and weld in bungs from the valve cover direct them to another catch tank (the one next to air filter)

hope that helps.

was a cold start problem only
hot start ,idle etc was fine.
iirc injectors was 200 euros.

front is 26mm
rear is 22mm
