friend just picked this up. it's a throttle body injection :(
what do we need to do for motor wise on this, or are they reasonable considering the archaic ball dropping technology that is had..
oh btw, has header and intake.
mini me or brembo and hawk brakes?!?
WHAT DOOOO.
y'all need some pics. so hurrrrr.
btw, thanks!
Aww man, same colour as my old one. Most fun car I've ever owned.
Needs MPFI conversion no matter what you do do start with that. I have a friend that had good results with an D16A6 cam (hotter than the D15B2, the heads are identical otherwise) with a D16Y8 cam gear. The shorter deck of the D15 block throws the cam timing out a bit, but a D16Y8 cam gear is keyed something like 4.5 degrees off so that it lines up pretty well.
I had a mini-me in mine, and I loved it. Cheap, economical and enough squirt to be entertaining.
Head to d-series.org. Tons of great info there on motor building.
MPFI-swap is the easiest and quickest way for more power. As noted, d-series.org is a good source for info. Here's another site for direct specifics about the swap: http://enginemaniac.blogspot.com/2009/11/honda-civiccrx-d15b1d15b2-mpfi-swap.html
You'll need an Si distributor, resistor box and to perform some modifications to the Dx wiring harness.
Hawk pads are a great choice for improving braking performance; much cheaper and probably better than paying big bucks for a brake kit. Use the saved money for something more beneficial.
Oh, and paint that hideous hood and scrounge for some BMW bottle-caps as replacement wheels.
Ok guys.. I found a MPFI EF hatch (non vtesh) at the yard the otherday actually, so we'll hopefully grab everything we need from that.
The hood is getting hung in the garage, it's a "triforce"- some gay faggotry vid game reference.. and either alloys or Si hubcaps!!
