JDM Coupe Birth To Death...

[oc_civic]

yeah, i've seen things online that says it doesn't work but it worked just like you'd hope for me

the fittings looked so different...

 

[Coutts]

yeah p.s. lines deff didnt reach the gsr pump and the fittings were completely; different. how did yours work...also the belt was too small (on my ls/vtec swap)

 

[oc_civic]

Yeah, I saw a few used ones for $50-75 shipped.

link?

true story..

 

[Coutts]

i can live without power steering (i've driven around without it for 2 weeks now, its fine when you get moving, just a little harder when your not), my parents want it so

gotta go through this big headache for them.

 

[oc_civic]

shouldnt really be a headache.. just need a 99-00 si pump.. lol

yeah exactly.

99-00 si's are the reason swaps are even possible with rather cheap oem parts in the first place.

well HONESTLY.. i USED to say no just doing the math.. 180 or whatever with the gsr and 190 or whatever hp with the single cam.. BUT after actually driving my car now.. i think that the higher redline.. and better tranny would dominate the y8 even spraying... i still plan to spray the b18.. that should be pretty quick...

do what you like.. i stand by what i say about single cams.. you can ABSOLUTELY make them fast OR faster dollar per dollar.. till you max out OR break (like i thought i was) so you just have to decide.. i only got the b18 because it worked out.. otherwise i would still have that Y8..

for the record.. i think that the y8 is still ok.. the horrid noise turned out to be a screw jammed up near a pully that was in there in such a way that i had NO way to see it till the motor was out.. so i dont even think that the y8 died..

but im really happy with the swap

you still have the y8? i wouldn't mind scooping that valve cover off you

 

[oc_civic]

i still have the y8 but im deciding how i want to sell the s**t i have.. will post a for sale thread at some point.. lol

 

[somejaykid]

awesome man

 

[builthatch]

Your car is teh sex.. almost gives hard on... o.0

I honestly couldnt own your car, I would be too afraid of it being stolen/broken into.

where we live, especially where oc lives, you don't have to worry about that. it's too incestuous around here and frankly, we have too much woods with too many armed people IN those woods protecting their property.

ha that is pretty true.. trying to steal my car would be the worst day of your (not you per say but you know what i mean) life... not mine..
