#257806 Wiring update!

Whenever it comes to wiring, I always think twice. Not really my favorite thing. I made up a meter loom extending my 4 wire o2 sensor that I cut from my EK harness.

I've been running without an o2 sensor for 6 months now. Hopefully it doesn't do any damage.

I basically done my own research. If I fuck things up I can only blame myself. Most info I got was from honda-tech. I practically stared at this bit of paper for a week, double checking and making sure it was right.

Image

I really wanted to wire in the o2 sensor on the shock towers in the engine bay for that OEM look but it's too difficult and hard to find info on. So I wired it directly to the ecu.

Also
- removed that rectangular plastic thing protecting the harness
- separated and zip tied the harness

Went from the Mugen ECU back to the factory EK P2T ECU with adapter

I did a cel code check and got no more codes for the o2 sensor. Only code I get is code 20 which is bad earth/battery? Apparently it's a common problem, a code which is hard to get rid of, not to worry apparently.

Before I use to get 350km from a full tank. Hopefully it will be more now that my engine is now running 100%

#259078 Not much

Not a lot has been happening. Got a new CEL light for something. I couldn't be bothered to check

Car is showing more scratches and dents everyday

I'm getting 23.1MPG, 9.7L per 100kms which is crap in my opinion



Tempted to sell it, part it out and start over...

At the moment just running the stock GLi cat, but when I get headers i'm going to get a 2.5" integra cat to match the headers. Your stock cat/exhaust will bolt up fine to the B16.

There's a 1-2hp gain with a high flow cat, but if your car is running a tiny bit rich it can burn out the insides of a high flow cat just don't gut the inside of your stock cat, you will lose power that way and it's illegal. Magnaflow, Xforce are good brands, even if you got one off another car like a V8 HSV and get a shop to flange it for you, that would work good!

#262822 $2,971.49!!!!! I could buy another EG for that! But damn that interior is so rare

BTW I can get those front seats for $100 but they are grey and slightly ripped. Might do that actually

i kno its rude as price but factor in the eg6 rear conversion of the rear half of the hatch ie fold down pivot points are different to our hatches and gathers rear speaker set up. you get what you pay for no hassle in chasing down all the bits and pieces to do the conversion as well as retrimming etc

#263047 I understand the interior, so rare. But the gathers speakers, you can get aftermarket ones that are better but would be alright to have. Damnn shipping is expensive for it tho!

#263059 Its at 3200 now, still not worth it. you can get the regular grey or even the Sir2 black for cheaper and it will look better. That yellow set was in bad shape.

- AC deleted
- Intake resonator deleted

Today I removed the intake resonator and replaced it with pvc piping. Still retaining the airbox of course, not having any of that open filter/sucking hot air nonsense. Car has been off the road for nearly 5 months now. Just got some cash, so hopefully next week.

Now putting some parts on ebay soon, got brand new denjis and rywire harness up for sale.

Bad News

- had to ditch the K24 idea, engine I found was the low compression version with the odd head, plus it had 200,000kms!!!
- lost the bolts to my right fender, FML! :x
