I love these cars! I just got an 88 crx dx automatic. it has a d15b2 block and a P08-5 head which I guess is from a d16z6. Supposedly has a stage one cam in it. It has an adjustable cam gear and DC Sport headers. It needs a throttlebody and a fuel line from filter to rail and cap. The ecu that is in it is a ps9. Is this ecu going to work for the VTEC and also how do I hook up the VTEC to the ecu? It has already been converted to MPFI. Thanks for the help. I just bought another CRX, this is my 5th one.

Did a compression check and numbers were very low. Pulled apart and done a ring job. Head was cleaned up at the local machine shop(replaced a valve ) New head gasket also. Reinstalled and was smoking even more.Looks like white smoke.Changed out lower end with a D15b7 using the D15b1 head and the DPFI intake. New head gasket and intake manifold gasket. Running smooth and good compression numbers but still smoking. I let it run for 20 minutes and brought RPMs up.( smoking like a freight train) Finally got a fault code #1 for O2 sensor and engine started surging. I dont know the capatibility between a B1 and a B7. Can I put the B7 top back on the bottom and run DPFI left over from the b1 that was in there with the b1 ECU ? I would like to get my little car back up & running. Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. ]]> stanlam http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969899 http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969894&goto=newpost Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:06:30 GMT While looking for a new B-pipe; I found that of all places, Amazon sells Walker parts.

(I replaced the px side halfshaft last year when the retaining clip on the cent section broke; allowing it to slide out so the boot was the sole thing holding it in.)

My dilemma is: do I lay down $70 for a new halfshaft again, or just get a new boot. The shaft is not noisy, but I have noticed some subtle lumpiness while coasting down the driveway; the wheel will wiggle back and forth a few degrees as the halfshaft turns. There's nothing notable at speed.

Assuming I do buy just a boot; any recommendations? Do I use a split/aka repair boot; or pull the hub nut etc and use a regular one?

Trash Auto seems to have Dorman boots 614-001/614-002; then says they are not in stock and don't fit! I wrote Dorman to ask them.

They have the GSP NCV36045 halfshaft .... ]]> rusted http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=969893
