VitalSpeed_CRX Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 My mech called and said to come by and check up on the car, everything is working sweet. Just need to change my valve rings he said there is a small leak going to the top of my headers i belive he said so some smoke cam out the back here and there he let t run for 2 hrs b4 it started to smoke.but everythings is in place. Few things that need to go in are my motor mounts and a new distributor, he rigged it up some how using the new one he put on my old motor when I first tuned it. he changed the gaskets, belts and what not. He also added about another 2 feet to the catback not sure why it didnt fit with the motor,ehh atleast its in. He is working on my seat rails since I didnt bother getting them. He also changed the flywheel said something about the old one was small .(thank god for mechanics wish I was that good with cars) only charged me 1,200 here are some pics and a vid of whats going on . Its not revved all the way He was just showing me the motor was working and what he did so far. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc55P2fAbeE here are some pics.

airjordan223 Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 haha yeah it does sound like its cammed. you gotta do something about that intake though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 JDM D15B is MPFI, so why are you running it with DPFI from your stock engine. And it sounds a little rough def still have some work ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitalSpeed_CRX Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Yeah it needs a little more work. My mech just wanted to show me that the motor was working. The head wasent put on all the way im not sure if that had anything to do with it and the way it sounded. I have the pipe for the intake he just put it on that way while he was working on it. $1,200 is not a bad price for all the work he has dones and is going to do. taking out the old one ad swap it with the new. catback put in(a little custom work needed) Custom seat rails. Full tune up. Calipers put in. new flywheel for the most part the 1200 is with parts included in the price.(not the catback) Im just happy its working. I would go out and help him and save a little money but im a busy person. I just paid for my distributor, 10mm spark plug wires and my motor mounts.should be here within 5 days.So I should have my car by next sat and will post up more pics and vids.

Kegger Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The head wasn't all the way on? I think you need to take a class on basic motor operation. If the head ain't all the way on it won't start or run for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EH6TunerDaniel Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 He said he rigged something up for the mount? What was it? Just NOT bolting it to the chassis? You need some OEM plug wires too. And why the hell would anybody start up a motor without everything bolted down and double checked? BTW, it looks like that mount will work, he just put it on upside down.....

VitalSpeed_CRX Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 As far as the mount the motor is not set where they belong there a little up (sitting on the inside of the frame) he was thinking of just welding the part that the motor mounts go into side ways but i told him not too that I would get the proper mounts. (look at the pic on the left of the seat you can see the motor is sorta where it belongs but not totaly in) what he rigged up was the distributor you can see he has a bar(he made) so it can hold it in place till the new one comes in. The Valve head on was on but not bolted on as you can see in the last pic.. ( it did turn over hence the video) I know it wasent safe since I seen some of the oil splashing out of the 3 holes on the head. but he was just showing me it was working.. the reason it wasent bolted on was cuz he was trying to find out where it was leaking. b4 i showed up. I know it needs work but its running better then my last motor which is not running at all.lol should be fully built by sat sorta the way I want, still more $h!t to buy.

CRG7 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 It's not cam'ed, it needs to be converted to MPFI. It's only firing up two of the cylinders right now, thus the sound. You'd think your mechanic might properly wire it up before starting it... among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think your mechanic might properly wire it up before starting it... among other things. I think thats what he said he was working on besides everyting else. My other parts arent in yet thats e only reason he is running it that way (temporary) Its running on 3 not 2, but good call. He said something about changing a ring or something cuz of the leak. after that all 4 should be good. He is still working on the harness since I gave it to him about 1-2 days ago. still running on my old ECU. As far as the motor mount when they come in do I still need to move the chassis? I had to return the one I had cuz it was for a 5sd.. anyone know a website to get the right mounts? or any of the other parts you guys said I might need or do need.THANKS!! mycarsux is right i prob wont work on it lol since Im still learning. But thanks for the advice peeps.I have always kept everyones help in mind and have done research to make sure things get done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mycarsux Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I have always kept everyones help in mind and have done research to make sure things get done right. fixed and no you haven't. we said your mechanic is an idiot and you seem to ignore it. smart mechanics don't start a high comp motor without bolting the head down.

mycarsux Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 is the mount on the frame bent? i can't really tell. if its not then just get a new mount. if it is then re-fabricate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitalSpeed_CRX Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 is the mount on the frame bent? i can't really tell. if its not then just get a new mount. if it is then re-fabricate it. No the frame is not bent..From what im told getting new mounts wont fix the problem i would just be replacing them. The mounts on the motor right now are from my OEM motor which I was told should drop right in and that the driver side tilts foward.Not sure if this is true. but no the frame is not bent. But my mech said he is going to take it to the shop and fabricate the mount. which I hope works.The valve head seal he said he will have 2morrow to fix the leak and all 4 cylinders will work good. Now I just have to wait on my other parts. I think my only other question would be is ,how to converted to MPFI ? :help: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
