New Pics of me car!

These are basically pictures of yesterday's handy works... like fitting on my new hood, bolting up my bumper for good, and my new Si front lip.

is it a black hood or is it carbon fiber?

looking good. :D

is it a black hood or is it carbon fiber?

Flat black... brand new straight from Honda.

It will be painted the same color as the rest of the body at a later date.

The Si front lip is also brand new, straight from Honda... can you believe it? a front lip that's never been installed on any car before mine :loser:

What did the front lip cost? from honda

What did the front lip cost? from honda

$63 + shipping and handling... all in all I think it costed me around $80

looking good, so i take it that you got your car running?

Thank you, Thank you.

My fingers are crossed that it was just the ECU being fried that was the problem... going to pick one up on Friday... and hopefully the car fires right up.

Wicked, keep us up to date and i hope that is the fix

It does look really good. Hopefully mines will hit the paintshop next weekend. I am ordering my lip from Honda too. $72 though, but i guess after taxes it will be about $80. I am still looking for my friend that works at Honda so that I can get a emp. discount.

Looks great. Nice and shiny.

noice!
keep up the good work dude
hope everythings all sorted out nicely

Which distributor did you use on this swap?

Which distributor did you use on this swap?

P28 distributor.

Update:
Well, unfortunately the ECU was NOT the problem. So I'm calling up my mechanic buddy and his electrician friend and we're going to set up sometime next weekend to test every wire and system in my car that we have to in order to get my Civic running.
I know I'm probably overlooking something simple... but in that case, I've been overlooking it for a month and a half now... so I'm going to get some professional help on this problem.

I still don't understand what happened, considering the car was running fine one day, and not at all the next... is very strange.

What did you do w/ the stock D15 dizzy? Is the P28 dizzy a direct bolt on? Or do you have to rig the mounts?

D15B VTEC distributor and the P28 distributor are exactly the same.

My old DX distributor is sitting in a bag on a shelf in my shop.

Alright, so I wouldn't need to buy a distributor from a 92-95 Civic? If this is the case, the only thing I have to worry about is the ECU wiring and resistor wiring?

Nope, you can use the one that comes with the D15B.

If you get an OBD0-OBD1 wiring harness, there really isn't much wiring to worry about at all...

Since you'll be using the D15B injectors, you wont be needing a resistor box because the D15B uses OBD1 injectors. You just take all the injector power wires and connect them together.

thats looking gorgeous mate, i love it , nice projectors too, good work

Thanks man... I still can't quite get the hood to fit correctly... but I've spent all of 20 minutes working on it :rofl: I'm sure I'll get it worked out Tomorrow when I Start putting everything else back together.

Something's working against me to get the car running though.. the place I bought my OBD0-OBD1 harness from said they wont have one ready until Thursday, when I was hoping to be started up and ready to go Tomorrow... so I upgraded my shipping to OverNight so I'd be able to start the car up by this weekend.

More updates to come

Can you explain the 4 wire O2 sensor? Somebody said I had to buy a 4 wire O2 sensor from a 92 Civic. Is this true? The reason why I am asking is I know this guy who does custom ECU programming and he is asking about how many wires the O2 sensor will have.

What about it do you need to know? If you use the P28 ECU and run OBD1 you'll need a 4wire o2 sensor.... if you stay OBD0 and use the PM6 ECU, you'll just need a 1 wire o2 sensor.

If you're converting to OBD1, whoever you buy your conversion harness from should include instructions on hooking up the O2 sensors.

Okay so in conclusion, I do need to buy a 4 wire o2 sensor. The person doing my ECU is asking about how many wires will my o2 sensor have. Like I said earlier in the thread, I hate wiring! Anywho, thank ya very much~

What ECU are you going to be using??

why does your car look exactly like mine, tahitian green, cf hood and projectors

Actually... black primer hood.... and why does it look exactly like yours? because honda made thousands and thousands of tahitian green civic hatchbacks, and you and I both have one of many :P
And hey... you may not be the first, or the last... but at least you know you have a damn good looking car ;)

What ECU are you going to be using??

P28

P28

Then yes, you are going to need a 4 wire o2 sensor.

just sold a tahitian green si to jer's brother that looks pretty much like yours did last year


it's looking good Killa_CRX....i sure hope it starts for you, i have my fingers crossed

Haha, I guess I should update yall a little bit on my progress or lack there of....
I gave up... I tried everything, including replacing the entire wiring harness. No luck.

So Friday afternoon... I loaded her up onto a trailer and dragged her 70 miles to a friend of mine who's brother owns a shop and is a professional mechanic and loves little projects to keep himself occupied in his spare time (has a chevy nova w/ big block V8 twin turbo'd and juiced on racing slicks 'not street legal' makes so much horse power, it pegs dynos... and a 2002 mustang base model with 2004 cobra engine he swapped in)
In any case, my friend and his brother are going to take my car back apart and put it together again and tinker with it and play with it until they either get it running, or determine that'll cost me more than what it's worth to get it running. And they're doing this for me for FREE.

so yeah... I probably wont know anything for a month or two from here on.... which is ok... I need to break in my new Del Sol anyways.

Damn, that's quite a deal. Connections are crucial.

Do you have the part number for the timing belt and water pump?

Your ECU is a P28. Is it a chipped or custom P28? I dont have to get a P28 ECU chipped to make it work w/ the D15B, right? It can be just a normal P28?

Hey, just to let ya know that me and some friends successfully swapped a JDM D15B into my Si. We didnt get any codes or anything. Thanks for all your help.

The only thing is, everytime I would try to get into the next gear, it'll start 'bogging', so I popped the hood open and I saw fuel near one of the injectors. So I'm thinking I've got leak...hopefully I can seal that up and fix that problem. What do you think?

looks good keep it up

very nice!
