143MYVTECEF · 03-14-2007, 01:51 AM

WOW!! Thats different.. How did you do the wiring and fuel set up?

Bakeoff · 03-14-2007, 07:09 AM

ok, so two posts?

Anyway, are you using a flux core welder?
Aside from that, looks like a fun project.

cvccvtec · 03-14-2007, 05:06 PM

yes its flux core and never had a prob with it the gas was out on my brothers welder and i have a time limit the welds are fine they are as strong as enything mig will do just gatta work a lill more lol.
the wiring ( 90 civic hatch all was ran then pined to the stock dash for the 80 cvcc very easy stuff fuel pump is off the 89 integra same Psi as the 92-95 civic axles are cut - resplined at a shop in portland OR, dont have them back yet this weekend doing the last of the wiring.

the VSS for the swap is in the stock cvcc cluster.

cvccvtec · 03-14-2007, 05:12 PM

im still looking for some Honda rotas that are 14" gatta go with 14s thats as big it will let me go on the car it had 12" stock

Jonathan_ED3 · 03-14-2007, 07:46 PM

15" will fit. I have 15" Mugen copy-cats on my '83 S.

Car looks good!

necro96 · 03-15-2007, 06:21 AM

Looks good. Do you have any pics of the rest of the car?

E-Money · 03-15-2007, 03:22 PM

cvccvtec · 03-15-2007, 08:38 PM

This is all i have for the out side of civic ill do more pics of every thing befor paint and after. its going in for paint as soon as i finish the wiring for the dash should be sunday will be done with wiring its ganna be white stock color i wanna make it look stock but with a better c-v-cc motor the trac-bars are i gatta weld up still and put in the stiffer springs.

here is the under-car pic i can still lower the car 1/12 to fit the wheels and looks.

ImportHatch · 03-15-2007, 09:23 PM

looks good but i would think about gusseting those mounts. Glad to finally see someone building one of these.

sazdasl · 03-18-2007, 06:01 PM

wow that is gona be one fun little ride!

high_revs · 03-18-2007, 07:28 PM

cvccvtec · 03-18-2007, 11:20 PM

im sure the mounts are ganna hold up to alot with out gussets lol i hit them to try and adjust with a 2 1/2 lbs hammer and they will not move at all there stout as hell lol i reinforced the sheet metal around the mounts and did a notch in the frame on the trans mount. i also have the solid polyurethane mounts. but thank you for the help.

Jonathan_ED3 · 03-19-2007, 07:47 AM

How are you using the 89 Integra fuel pump?

My '83 S uses an inline fuel pump; I'm sure your '80 uses the same style. Is the '89 Integra pump an inline?

If not, how are you going to mount it into the gas tank?

ImportHatch · 03-19-2007, 10:41 AM

Alright then, you got it.

cvccvtec · 03-19-2007, 03:44 PM

the 86-89 acura integra has the fuel pump out of the tank driver side under car and has the psi like the 90+ integra it will work the best for the Vtec this is what i use on the 84 civic w/ d16 SI swap worked great!

Jonathan_ED3 · 03-19-2007, 06:59 PM

Cool man, you got it all figured out.

If I can ever finish these projects I'm working on, I'll throw a B series into my '83.

143MYVTECEF · 03-19-2007, 08:17 PM

Nice man im in for some more progress and some vids!!!

goforbroke · 03-21-2007, 07:55 AM

Nice project, I love old school honda's. I have a question, where is the alternator at I didn't see it in the pictures? It clears the frame?

mrnicolas · 03-22-2007, 09:12 AM

nice project, it will be a lot of fun when finished.

cvccvtec · 03-22-2007, 07:48 PM
