Awww sh*t! Got my hatch back....MPFI working!.....spanked another hatch!...MUST READ

[bambam89lx]

Hey guys....I don't know if you remember but i put an A6 into my car...I did the MPFI wiring myself and swapped it in myself. But for 3 months i spent everyday trying to fix it cuz it never started. But, the motor was pulled from a 91 crx, and it ran like a gem.

The crx was totaled but I still spanked an integra with it when I was on the way to a shop to have the motor pulled from it. I beat the teg and the crx had a smashed windshield, fucked up fenders, headlights, no corners, messed up bumber, and the hood tied down with string....lol......and I had someone in the car!

So 3 months ago I dropped it into my 88 dx hatch and never got it running. Over the last 3 months, I spent almost 300$ on stock parts replacing everything trying to get it to work. I bought a new battery, new coil, new wires, new plugs, swapped map sensors, replaced more gaskets than I can count, double and tripple checked my wiring...but nothing. Everyone doubted my wiring. So I had a friend with an LS turbo swapped CRX come over and check my wiring. Even he said the wiring was perfect and looked cleaner than his wiring! So I thought WTF. He checked my timing which I new was good. I was getting Air, Fuel, and Spark. Still it wusn't starting. So I decided to buy a compression tester and guess what? It was bad. 2 cylinders were good but the 3rd and 4th cylinders only had 0psi and 50psi which isn't enough to start my car. But how could this be? The car ran clean b4 I put it in....so I said ohh well.

I talked to this kid alex and he just happened to have an extra B2 with less than 100k on it and burned no oil. So I swapped the dx motor in over the last week. Turned it over and VROOOOMMMMMM!!!!! I was so happy. I finally had my car back and it had the MPFI and Si tranny. So everything is all good now. I decided to go out and test it. I couldn't keep the tires planted through all of first gear. I know it's not THAT powerful but I decided to test it out.

I raced my boy with a 92 hatch. He's got Intake, cat back exhaust, hi flow cat, si tranny swap, si (p28) ecu (but non vtec head). All's I can say is I owned him. I had about 7 or 8 car lengths on him going into second. Im not kidding....my boy Ray (Masta on these forums) was with me and witnissed this catastrophe...lol. Holy Shit!...N' I drove his car before and it is pretty quick. I raced him like 4 or 5 times...on the highway, from a stop, I even let him go first and go ahead of me, but that didn't last very long....lol. He was impressed and so was I.

I'm thinking, I should be able to beat any non swapped dx civic whether it has intake, header, exhaust or not....because of that si tranny. That makes me the 3rd fastest person in the city where I live...LOL!

So anyways....after it's all said and done...im pretty satisfied with my setup right now....but I will be swapping in something later....but im not telling.......it's gonna be different than wut ur used too.
Stay Tuned...

P.S....thank you to all of you who helped me try to fix my car over the last 4 months...even tho none of you could tell me wut was wrong....lol

[Masta]

i will own you when i get my car back!

[bambam89lx]

whatever beyotch....I know wut ur runnin'......lol...j/k....it'll be good, i know it. I hope ur more of a challenge than that 92 hatch...lol

[Masta]

dont' worry, i wont make up excuses like that 92 hatch did

[bambam89lx]

his excuse was
"I shifted into first gear and it just felt funny."
Has anyone ever heard this lame ass excuse b4 when they spanked someone?....lol...I was crackin up.
When I beat him again...he said let me take out my silencer...so he did....same result!

[Masta]

hahahaha i remember that, it was sad as hell to hear him say that. Oh well, atleast he admitted to that your car is quick.

Oh yeah i hear that all the time. Or ill hear "well i didnt know we were racing" or " i wasnt trying" I hate people like that. Or thell just say i didnt shift right. What a lame ass excuse which i used to use when i was first learning to drive a manual but thats different, these people have had a manual for a long time. Its real funny when i beat an expensive car, and i know they wanted to race me and we were both revving our engines, and hes like well i really wasnt racing. Yeah but i feel u on that one.

I burned all the way through first in my sedan, didnt think i could and was really excited when i did it. Didnt have a chance to shift to 2nd though bc the other side of my driveway was coming up so i just slowed down. No insurance or tags sucks. I want my car on the road so badly...

um, check the valve timing on your motor, sonds like that could have been the culprit. if not i'll take the block off your hands :P

u need a b-series motor, all these d's are makin me feel queasy.

you know if you let a motor sit for more than 6 months you run the risk of having the rings become brittel, and crack when you crank it over. i dont know how long yours sat. it happened to me with a junkyard motor
