Whats up everyone- i was on someother honda forums and came across this awesome EF. This is a 91 STD hatch, and this guy named Mackie i guess did the install himself. He started this MASSIVE swap in early december, and finish it in late january. He had no garage, and did it outside in the freezing cold with no help. He used the HYDRAULIC S80 ITR trans, and he also converted his car to OBDII. this is no small task. He also used the ITR gauge cluster. if you want the original link to the pics, here it is Otherwise, here are the pics....MAD PROPS go to this guy, IMHO

the 91 STD hatch

the USDM B18C5 powerplant w/ LSD S80 hyrdaulic ITR trans

he also used the ITR radiator

In order to have the OBDII conversion work he used 4 fuse boxes. Here is a pic of 2 of them, the other 2 are in the cabin.

Here is a close up of the hydro LSD S80 ITR trans

Here is the dash-complete with ITR gauge cluster

So...Is that the ultimate sleeper, or what? i was so impressed by this thing. Let me know what you think, or if you've see it before...i guess he's a member of the HB Squad, or somethin. later everyone

i remember seeing that car on honda-tech. Pretty damn sweet if ya ask me. I wish i could get a wrecked ITR and swap almost everything over.

yeh, i know he was very lucky to know a guy who wrecked his ITR.
MYFIRST4G-if you go to that link...and read every page....the guy named Mackie talks about how he got the ITR cluster on there and working

I hate honda tech though

Custom mounted fluid reservoir? looked like a bunch of 10 cent washers to me. hehe. I like the swap. The gauge cluster is something i havent seen before. There are a few STDs running around my area with B18C5s in them...

Fishcat37 · #9 10-09-2002, 09:50 PM

heheheh......i noticed the washers after i posted it...i knew someone would mention that

Really, there are a FEW std's with B18C5's in them in your area? that's amazing.....are they OBDII and hydro trans, tho? just curious

I would think it would be more difficult to convert over to use a hydro tranny as opposed to getting like an SiR cable tranny by itself and using it. Isn't the gearing about the same on the ITR and SiR trannys?

Hey Sean theres a 4th gen around ur area with a type r motor rite? Evan showed me it and its a yellow one? have you seen it?

Fishcat37 · #12 10-10-2002, 03:13 PM

whats up sammy- im not sure if there is a 4G civic or 2G crx around my area with a Type R motor in it

i do remember evan talking about a yellow crx w/ an ITR motor come to think of it.....he said that it was just sitting in his garage for like a year...and when he put the motor in....it wasn't that fast....like not up to B18C5 specs...im not sure tho-i'll ask him the next time i talk to him

I would settle for figuring out how to get a teg cluster hooked up.
