I'm just posting pictures to see how people like my setup, and also wondering ; can I fit an aftermarket header without hitting the radiator (fan to be exact)? Anyone know how much further any of the aftermarket headers stick out at the top versus the USDM itr header?

2001 USDM B18C5 w/ITR rad, hydro clutch, 4 fuse boxes, and OBDII

Very nice hatch......Love the itr motor in it. Really a good sleeper.

Switch back to a crx radiator and you will free up about 1.5 -2 inches for the radiator. The crx one is plenty large enough for the r motor. When you say aftermarket header you need to be more specific, Smsp, hytec. or do you mean like dc, type one,ect,ect. Make sure you get a header with at least a 2.5 in collector if you plan on modding that motor.(and a 2.5 custom exhaust). My Smsp header will not clear my stock radiator fan with my stock or my fluidyne radiator. But a slimline fan might work.

By the way , nice sleeper You should buy my my white si shell so you can have the white bumpers and si interior and brakes

That is one aswome car!!!! Please tell me you are going to the PA meet on sunday April 14th! I would love to see the car in person.

Superhatch

Very, very nice! *yawn* that car makes me tired just looking at it Did you do the install yourself?

mad respect from me


Yack - who had the first "complete" OBDII EG

89civic1.8t - I was planning on going to the meet, but have a photo job in Maine on sunday, so maybe next time

Superhatch - I did the install myself, with no garage over my head, working cold weekends from mid-dec to late jan(fired on the first try)

ef ect

i am in the prosess of an obd2 b20 and have a few questions. i can under stand the guadge pod(new speed sensor , 10k tack, looks good) but why the fuse boxes i could maby see one for the eld but what are the rest for just a question

mackymcg

89SivicHatch - more of a convienence thing for me to get the car running quicker than anything else, I had them from the ITR and so all the old components (Headlights, radio) had their fuse boxes and the new components (ECU, gauge) had their own. I'm planning on taking that number down to 2 pretty soon, clean up my install.

I likes it man(sleeper)! How many people you surprised with your car in terms of racing ?

meept

Very nice install.... Is the ITR cluster a bolt-in or did you have to mess with stuff to get it to fit (not talking wiring, just physical fit)?

Super-sleepers are cool

mackymcg

4thGsi - I've suprised no-one, haven't raced anyone in it, though I've suprised many a tailgater. I never rev on people, and people never rev on me, guess because of the way it looks (or doesn't look)

meept - I had to trim one side of the ITR cluster(the ear where it screws onto the dash), remove the old gauge mounts, and screw from the underside of the 91's gauge cover through it, to the ear that sits on top of the ITR gauge. After that I used 2 pieces of foam tape on the sides next to the temp and fuel gauge so light would not leak through. It's more of a force fit than anything else, but I found with the screw through the top and the foam tape it doesn't have any rattles.

91cvcsi

very nice...i like it a lot....do the plugs match up for the cluster or did you have to switch wiring over?

turbo_ef9

dang guy.. you gotta email me with how you did the hydro swap.. the wiring and all that good stuff.. especially the cluster conversion.. dang.. looks nice... vangboy509@hotmail.com

mackymcg

91cvcsi - With the OBDII wiring, stuff like speedo, tach, temp, CE light, oil lamp, batt, were all plug and play. The things I had to wire in from the old gauge were
- Turn signal indicators
- High beam
- Door open
- hatch open
- e-brake light
- fuel gauge

there's an old post on the hybridforum.net pages that list the pin numbers for the ITR gauge, I have it on another computer, i'll try and get it up later today.

nice car man

how'd u get that ITR cluster in there?

clarkson, my cousin went there

Kilohead36

Man that looks really good any possiblilty of giving us better interior shots of cluster..Car looks good..Trying now to get my car up to spec with my R...

KEVlN

Nice car...As soon as the window opened up I saw the car and instantly pushed the back button. Then I decided to go back and look at the rest of the pics. Wow an ITR swap. Very nice.

bryant

Very nice. But please inform us on the Hydro Tranny. Very interested.

Like the old school Honda OEM rims look on that car. I'm to the point to where I'm liking that style better than aftermarket stuff.

spdster

Beautiful!

Aren't those just honda hub-caps on the stock rims??? dont see any bolts or anything, but i could be wrong.

Kilohead36 - I have a roll on CD i'm supposed to pick up that I believe has more detail shots. I'll also borrow a friend digi-cam and show the modifications I did.

Hcivic88 - They are rims, the lugs are underneath the very large "H" centers caps. 14"s w/ Dunlop SP Sport D87m tires

CR-X - I'll write up a little info guide on the hydro tranny, when I can remember all the small things(and there is a ton of those) so people aren't stranded missing one part they don't know about.

technine

How did you do the hydro trans? Just plumb in the resevour, use the integra clutch parts like hydro line, clutch cylinder and pedal (anything I missed)?
N I C E

mackymcg

technine - It's coming back to me in slow burst now, but yeah, that's the basic parts list. There is also a step-down for the clutch line (top of fuse box pic), and of course, bending skills. The other work was -
-Remove driver's side venting(left airvent + window vent no longer active, tape hole in center vent assm leading to where these used to be)
-Drill hole in firewall so end of pedal assm. sticks into engine bay
- Drill hole in lip on firewall (see where tube is in the reservoir pic), you can fit and run the line from the pedal to the reservoir without this step, but most likely the hole you made in the firewall will cut tube, happened to me and I went mad before I figured out

There's is more stuff I know than that, still recalling the small stuff
