#164722 Hello civic-eg.com I am doing a build on my hatch and have some questions I need answered.

1- my hatch is a 92 civic dx, it has a rear disc conversion(came with the car) and the right rear wheel is bent a little, I have checked it underneath and everything body wise is straight. I am pretty sure it is the hub, anyway I need to know what rear hub and trailing arm it is or will fit on there to buy. Are the civic si's and integra's all the same?

2-I am building a b20 vtec setup and was wondering if a type r oil pump will fit?

3-I heard the 92 civic dx's were prewired from the factory with vtec, if this is true does anybody have a pic of were the conector would be?

4-currently I have a ls vtec set up in the hatch, and it has a sound in it that sounds like a marble bouncing around, now it only does it here and there not all the time, it allmost sounds like it's pinging just louder. it's not a knock cause I here it at idle sometimes. I have adjusted the valves and checked the head and there is no problems. Oil pressure is good. I have heard people say that ls vtecs make noise but I dont like it and want to get it fixed.

5-I am sure the answer to this question is on this site somewere but I have adhd and dont have the paitience to search for it so does anybody know the operating temp for a ls vtec setup, and what temp is the fan supposed to come on?

6-when you buy dual valve springs, do you only get them for the intake side, or should there be dual springs on the intake and exhaust valves?


Sorry about all the dumb questions but I need to get this stuff fixec so any info would be great.

#164746 You should divide these up and post each one where it belongs for more responses.
Here's a guideline if you need it: http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=5839

Yes 92 dx hatches (not sedans) are pre-wired with vtec into the engine bay.
The wire runs up to the passenger side shock tower harness.
