Beast civic in the making. I like this build alot.
Thanks man

Did the head this Friday




Got fancy



Found this before it caused major damage.



I forgot to do the valve lash before start up, whoops. Sounded horrible, but since it was was on I wanted to see if the fan kicked on with the new Gates low temp thermostat and slim fan/shroud. I did a quick valve adjustment after but the engine was still hot. Car was stalling out a lot but I raised the Fuel Pressure to 58 psi, and did a proper valve lash with the engine cold. It's running great now, still need to install my Skunk2 Stage 1 cams get it tuned.

So here's my symptoms right now""Car Starts up with no problem, once started idle is fine. I drive for a couple and come to a complete stop, idle comes to almost stalling. I have to wait a few seconds idling like that and the idle kicks back to normal. It happens again randomly here and there after but not all the time"

Bought a new IACV because that's where signs point

Gotta love Honda idle issues, I remember how long I spent on them with my Z6 EG.

Yeah usually I'm like "It drives, screw it" but it started stalling randomly when i made full stops. Idles like a champ now, and cold start is a lot better.

The big thing for was mine was surging but only while warming up, so it took me awhile to figure out it was the fitv not the iacv.

Bought a new Walbro 255 lhp for cheap because it was only the pump, bought a Delphi strainer and made out saving like $30 compared to a whole kit that comes with unnecessary pieces

.

New adjustment screw for my AEM FPR, Home Depot for the win.



New intercooler for the 91 Civic

Bad timing, front wheel bearing was shot right before my 2 event weekend. So after work I pulled it off and replaced it. Added a little bling, ARP studs.

Car behaved this weekend, BMWCCA Autocross Saturday and Honda Fest Autocross Sunday. Need to finish my suspension badly.

BMWCCA, great first event for me, dry morning and wet afternoon. Best of both worlds.






Honda Fest-6th out of 20 by only .4 sec. but I was Fastest FWD on street tires at least.

Lookin' good yo!
Thank you sir!

This job was huge, I tried to make it as quick as possible. Only took 11 hours lol, took a few breaks though.
Subfra was out in 3 hours


Rack was a pain, didn't want to mess up any fittings. Changed from a stock 8 tooth to an Integra 9 tooth. Still need an alignment to fully enjoy it.


Only Rigid Collar you can see

Installed a block breather, need to add a oil return. It's filling up at high rev, whoops. Also have a new spark plug cover, old red DC Sport one was clashing.

No more PCV, car runs a lot better now I think.



New cover :D Valve Cover getting a paint job soon.



I tried to install it high up and loop the lines but oil is still finding its way up, tomorrow I'll piece together a return fittings.
