first off,, any tips on how to set my idle on my hb? it dies at stops, i also noticed that it also revs up and down a lil bit. whats the cause of this? i just changed all filters (fuel,oil,air,pvc), oil and radiator fluid.

okay, heres anothe quickie for you civic nerds. :) just landed a full complete AC unit for my 91 hb for only $20! i thought it was worth it. came with the pump, belt, hoses, fan, radiator lookin thing, condenser, and everything else. will it be a big problem hooking this up? anyy suggestions from someone whos done it.

thanks in advanced

i have no idea as far as the ac goes....my '90 std came with it....so did my '91 std

BTW....welcome to AF :wave:

Blu, some one must have put your AC in because my 91 Std. didn't come with it, but my '88 std did.

As for the idling issue first I would make sure my cooling system (antifreeze) is filled and burped. That was my problem. Second, try to adjust your idle, and lastly, I would check the EACV, vaccum hoses, and tps (throttle position sensor.

thanks for the input. i did adjust my idle. idles fine. but my brother said that my tps might be going bad. is this expensive?
im not familiar with this,, new to the rice-rocket world. i was a jeepnut before i got my 91.
also, my roomate has a 91 dx hb. his shit smashes on my std. isnt it the same motor? is my 4 speed tranny the problem?
thinking of doing a b16 swap, but i really dont know how much work its gonna be.

by the way,
check out my rock bands new website,, its pretty tight. leave a message in the board, tell us what you think.

thanks,

A DX has something like 90hp and standard's have 72. The engines suck. Most ppl are getting swaps. I have a b18b but it is more work than I thought, so I am either getting a ZC or a JDM D15

My JDM D15b will be here tomorrow. I got sick of the std motor. Even with the DX 5speed and ECU and 2 1/4" exhaust I don't think i'm quite to the DX's power because of that damn intake manifold. :banghead:

i agree, the std is horrible. why did you go with the b18 and not the b16? how much did you get the d15 for? that sounds like a direct drop in swap.
i met a guy yesterday who dropped a 96' dx engine in his 89 crx. would this be better?

i have a 95 dx that is sittin in a shop ready to be put in my car.....the whole swap cost me $100....but i couldn't use everything b/c itz obd1 and has the hydro tranny.....


T-mo......the ac systems are stock.....they may have had it put in as a factory option

I payed 650 for the motor and it is a direct drop in you just have to wire the MPFI and Vtec. I think the D15b is the way to go seeing that the dx motor makes like 107 and the JDM D15b makes like 130.

dx makes 102.....but $100 isn't a bad price....don't u have to wire it for obd1 or no?

im the 2nd owner of my 91 stnd. and it came with AC, and works great

dx makes 102.....but $100 isn't a bad price....don't u have to wire it for obd1 or no?

Yeah it has to go to obd1 which isn't a problem from pre obd

but the harness to convert it is about $175.....that's why i didn't keep the intake manifold that came with the d15b7
