what did you expect man? You have a B in your crx...any header is pretty much going to sit low. Welcome to the world of swapped honda's...
actually, that's how you can tell if a honda is swapped...no need to look under the hood...just look under the front of the car, if you see a header hanging lower than the frame...bingo!
of course it's not always true...if they have a stock header..

anyway...time to stiffen your suspension....that's how it works. One upgrade just leads to another.

yeah i guess so. i was thinking the same thing with the stiff suspension but i would rather get the car running first. know what i mean. i got the header on spark+good motor+fual should = chearp into 3rd right? help me out i ran the vtec/knock sensor/2nd o2 sensor today and am going to wire it to the ecu tomorrow or tonight if i can find the info for the ecu pins.

did you mean "chirp into third"?
that is no indication of how much power your are making...just that you have shitty tires. Chirping or spinning tires between shifts just slows you down; it's less time that you're putting power to the pavement. Don't get pissed if your car doesn't spin em between gears...I wouldn't want it to anyway. If you have some bad tires on there, then yah, it should "chirp" second at least.
My lsvtec doesn't spin a daym bit between gears even with my exedy clutch. That's because I have good tires...BFG drag radials.

My header doesnt hand below the car like that at all...DC header too, I might take a piclater, its maybe 1/2" lower than the crossmember, true, it does have some dings in it (previous owner, not from me) but it sure as hell doesnt hit everytime I hit a bump..

2poor2tune · #22 06-23-2006, 04:06 PM

i just meant my car will run if i have those two things. not anything by the chirp into third. i just want this thing to run. what could it be. oh and i finished the wiring and still nothing. my tps is still on wrong tho.

FrodoGT · #23 06-23-2006, 04:49 PM

mine will squeal all the way through second and chirp in third..maybe I need new tires.

you check for the basics yet? fuel, spark, and timing? check ur grounds too.

2poor2tune · #25 06-23-2006, 11:54 PM

yes. i checked those things already. i even checked about 3 times. spark fuel is there my grounds seem to be ok. i have two grounds both with 4 guage wire. oine to the passenger side mount hole and the tranny. the other goes from the driver side mount to the valve cover. my actuall ground from the battery is going to the tail lights ground and 4 guage as well as the power wire 4 guage and ran all the way up front and to the starter/ fuse box/ everything turns on eccept brake lights, blinkers, brights. but i will deal with that leter. any other ideas?

you have to have them grounded to the body, not the mount man. Remember, there's rubber in the mount, so if it's grounded to the mount, it's not getting to the frame.
Redo all your grounds and sand them down. Sand the ground wire down, the all the contact points.
Hope you're not forgetting the wiring harness ground on the THERMOSTAT. That't the most important one. You should have one from your valve cover to your frame. One from your transmission (the clutch cable bracket) to the frame, and then from the frame to your negative battery terminal.

Does the car even turn over like it's trying to start? How do you know you are getting fuel? Do you smell fuel? I mean, if you have fuel, spark, and compression, theoretically it should start, as long as both the ignition and cam timing are dead on. Set your motor to TDC and check the timing. Also, play with your distributor to see if the ignition timing is off for some reason. Loosen all the distributor bolts and have some try starting the car, meanwhile you are turning it forward or back slowly to see if the car tries to start better, or even starts.

The following things are the things you need for a car to run...this is it.
1. fuel
2. sufficient compression
3. air coming in
4. spark
5. ignition timing
6. cam timing

if any of those are bad or off, it may try to start, but won't.

ok sorry my fault i thould have told you guys this before. ok i have the grounds mounted to the chassis side where you put the bol threw and then threw the mount. the thing theat the washer fluid is hanging on. the other one is to the clutch cable braket and then to the other mount where the battery trey gets bolted in. and as for if i know i have fuel, spark. i have takin the fuel rail off and cranked it and watched fuil come from each injector and different times so i could get as far down the fuel system as a could. and as for spark i tested every wire from the dizzy with my test plug, and every one sparked real strongly. what was the b16 spark plug gap measurment again. i put it as close to 44 as i could. the motor does crank. while my battery is charged anyway. and we did the dizzt thing and nothing not even i little improvement. can you give me i picture or a diagram or just tell me where the timing dead center is exactly. i will go get a manual right now. what should i get it for? thanks alot

just look at the crank pulley. There's 3 marks, then one by itself. There's a mark on the lower timing cover. Align the mark by itself with the timing cover. Then see if the cam gears are aligned.

2poor2tune · #29 06-25-2006, 07:52 PM

cool i will look again. i dident see the timing cover marking.

hey dudes i just finally got my b16 to start for the first time today!! i gotta drain some oil tho cuz theres way too much in it and it started to smoke a little today . when i get home in the morning im gonna drain some then let the car idle for about 10 mins to let the fluids travel thru.

oh and about the header thing yea mine hangs low too lol i noticed it yesterday when i put the car down and was like shit..gotta finish my suspension. ive got neuspeed springs waiting to go on the back but im gonna have to drill and cut some stuff to get the old shocks out cuz they are rusted in. im just gonna have a shop do it later this summer if i save some money. ill get some pics of everything up soon. im so stoked my car is finally gonna run again! i plan on driving it a lot around my house to break it in tomorrow lol
