@@mattfoley6082 it’s a common modification, I kinda explain it in the video. You need to block off that oil port if you’re doing b20vtec or lsvtec because the vtec head has a port that doesn’t match anything in the non vtec block. If you put a vtec head on a non vtec block you need to block the port in the head and run an external oil feed from a sandwich plate installed at the oil filter and run up to the cylinder head.

@@boosted2.4_sky I had 1/4” and 3/8” Pittsburgh torque wrenches. The 3/8” I used on some cam caps during reassembly for a head gasket on my Honda. Set it to the spec but it just kept tightening and tightening and tightening… caught it in time but this wrench frankly didn’t “click” at any setting. Obviously I had a particularly bad experience but my defective torque wrench was enough to turn me off of them.

I guess it could be 🤣

A few. Help, with the Beatles and Sgt pepper. A lot of the rest are the mono reissues from around 10 years ago.

Yeah it’s a 91 DX. The cluster is from an LX. I got the steering wheel from a hatchback at the junkyard. This car has had some work done on it, it’s got a motor from an Acura Integra GSR right now. I’m working out some minor kinks but I’ll do a more in depth video on it in the future.

Si rally wheels from the 99-00 Civic Si

No, it’s sold

How much did you sell it for? And did you fix any of the issues you mentioned on the video?

@@jorgegomez1819 yeah I fixed the brakes and got that d16y7 put in with a new clutch. Bought for 700 sold for 2k

Probably not, but everything has a price.

I actually like the red interior 😅 it’s not for everyone tho

It’s from eBay. They seem to be discontinued

I don’t know if you made it through the video, but there was a special bolt with a long shank that holds helps hold the gear selector in place and keeps it within the shift forks in the transmission. Some meatball at one point or another replaced it with the incorrect bolt. Replaced it with an oem part and problem solved.

Did you ever figured it out

YEa i went to RICH tune and he fixed it updated my map on my P28 chipped ECU@@gregbishop2766

u having a similar problem ?? @@gregbishop2766

Check oil pressure and check the pins like I did in this video. You have an external oil feed to your vtec?

Weird thing.. I did a hydro clutch swap and accidentally got some clutch fluid on the ICU (integrated control unit) while installing the master cylinder under the dash. It made the car do all sorts of bizarre things.

If you use a vtec cylinder head on a non-vtec block, you plug that oil passageway because it doesn’t match up with anything from the head to the block. You use an external oil line to feed oil pressure to vtec. Since I had both a vtec head and a vtec block I didn’t need it plugged and it was preventing vtec from working.

Welcome to Tucson

Do you have an EF or DA? They have a physical cable for the speedo. But that’s weird about vtec engaging at 7k. Without a speed input to the ecu AFAIK the vtec shouldn’t work at all.

@@sethallison5682 It's a dc1 with a b18c gsr swap, forgot to mention the speedo has been working then dropping off for a few months and vtec was working fine but now out of say 15miles of driving the speedo will work for maybe 1 mile then stop and the odometer isn't working either

@@A.D953 I would definitely get the speedo working first but yeah man that still doesn’t explain the vtec engaging at 7k. What are you running for ecu? Stock gsr tune has vtec at only 4400 rpm.

@@sethallison5682 I'm running a p28 chipped ecu, vtec was engaging at 4600rpm until recently, when I tested the vss connector plug I set my multimeter to ohms and when probing the ground wire I was getting a reading of upto 1708. I was told ground wires can give a reading and it's not a problem is that true?

@@A.D953 a lot of times I’ll check signal wires at the ecu itself, as well as the connector. It’ll tell you if the circuit is good. I would maybe try another chip. I’ve had bad ones before. Shot in the dark but if you’re in southern Arizona I’ve got an extra one you can try.

Southern California or Phoenix are the best spots to find them.

@@sethallison5682 yeah definitely phoenix has a lot of good cars.

@@sethallison5682 curious to know what are something’s you don’t like about the car in your opinion

@@InvestwithKhan compared to the EG or EK civic, certain modifications are harder. Most EF civics have throttle body injection so if you wanna do an engine swap you have to do extensive wiring modification. Also it’s harder to fit everything under the hood. Really a pain to keep A/C with a b series for example. Parts are also hard to find. Chassis has less rigidity than 92-00 Civics and the interior quality is also not quite as good. I still love the ef sedan though which is why I have one. But they can be harder to work with than the other chassis.

@@InvestwithKhan basically I really like the LOOKS of the EF Civic and CRX, the ef sedan is my favorite Civic but that’s mostly based on looks alone. But if I was going for ease of ownership/modification, parts availability, aftermarket support, peak Honda quality I would objectively say the EG Civic is the way to go. But they’re not THAT different overall. The ek and eg sedans are the cheapest to buy around me too, ef’s are getting rare and eg/ek hatches are getting way expensive.

I might have a nice snap on box if I won the lottery, but these days yeah you can’t beat harbor freight for a lot of tools. The quality really has gotten so much better.

Doyle and Icon are tool truck quality at 1/4 the price 👍

No it’s an original 5 speed car. I already sold it though

@@sethallison5682 do you know if the ef ex model with automatic transmission. Is that the same transmission on a regular lx auto? Or did the ex auto use different automatic gearing?

@@damnitdang I’m afraid I don’t know that. I imagine they’re the same though.

All the detent balls are there, I kinda double checked everything when I was putting my new case on. Really weird stuff though. I would love to have a video of this guy working on this car. Just pure chaos.. 😅

@@sethallison5682 Was a Goomba. I'm currently working on modding the shifter itself to eliminate the 1/2 in of slop. Needs a custom pin and "eyeball".

Yeah I bought mine from the Cornwell truck about 20 years ago, but you can get the exact same tool from Amazon or the auto parts store. I’ve probably used that thing about 10,000 times. I had the bigger one too but I lost it. The smaller one is much more commonly used. And yeah the spring will shoot off if you don’t bend it haha.

Will do! I need to make a longer video about my white DX, that’s my long term build. This car just got a d16y7 swap finished up and it’ll be for sale soon!

It was the same 15 years ago. It was always the new techs that seemed particularly bad at wrenching that got the huge tool truck debt.. I always felt bad for them. Back then we also had Sears, which was sort of like harbor freight now (harbor freight back then was honestly too poor of quality to really use, it’s gotten much much better) I think if I bought a new toolbox I would get the us general.

@@sethallison5682 I miss Sears. That’s my favorite place lol. Ours closed in 2019 I bought the whole tool department at the end practically lol. I got several fill in sockets and things even snagged a few old USA made ones. I remember holding up the line cause the old stock USA ones weren’t in the system so they had to go find the slot for each one and get another one and scan it haha. I also remember going in there with my dad as a kid and seeing the tools and the beds and everything cause they were right next to each other lol. For awhile my brother in law worked there too. I sure do miss that place. I travelled some last summer to visit some and man they were disappointing. I am not too familiar with HF of that generation. I was small lol I’m only 20 right now but I have fond memories mostly of Sears. Kids today will never know what Sears is I missed the golden times of it I know but at least I was around for the end and know what it is lol. I have tons of Craftsman in my box some of it I bought or got replaced but most is from the pawn shop. It works fine. Especially for sockets I don’t see a point in fancy sockets. Heck half the new techs at my work expect to borrow stuff cause they have no tools or minimal tools. They are the really low guys. I can imagine the industry probably has changed a lot since you were in at least as far as technology but probably not with tool fools lol.

Do you have a pressure gauge? You might not have sufficient pressure when the motor is warm. You may have general oil pressure to the solenoid but not enough?

My exact issue rn lol

@@officialsmigg1866 I still have the issue, but haven't had much chance to investigate further recently.

If I had a suggestion check the oil pump pickup and make sure the oil pan isn't smashed up against the pickup

It’s absolutely insane. I actually also found a mono copy at a used bookstore about 10 years ago, similarly hidden in plain sight.

Great find

Hell yeah 😎

Yeah once you eliminate the overall engine oil pressure or solenoid and circuit as being culprits, it’s time to check for mechanical issues OR for one of these little plugs. Good luck 👍

@@sethallison5682 yeah I'm gonna check the oil pressure for the he'll of it. But the fact solenoid lights up everytime. Kind of pointless because that pressure sensor sees the necessary pressure for ecm to command solenoid. I think my rock arms are junk.

@@sethallison5682 updated. Checked oil pressure on front of block have 60psi at 5k when supplying 12 v to solenoid.Now after looking at your video I was able to move the middle rocker pad completely up when I was doing head gasket but never thought anything of it.. This tells me pins are missing or stuck.aftwr watching your video I now realized this I'm going to replace rockers and will report back.

@@gsrturbo3786 it would be a good idea to check for those pins. At this point our motors are 20-30 years old and have probably had at least 5 or 10 owners. You never know what kind of pieces are missing by the time it gets to you. The block on this build had an oil pan on it when I bought it. Luckily I took it off to inspect because the oil pick up was missing.

@@sethallison5682 ahhh replaced rockers still no vtec very very light cross over. I'm lost this stock gsr head on gsr block.

I check marketplace CONSTANTLY. It finally paid off.

The Star Child 😎 I’ve seen them three times
