hey vdo im ordering my header this week. i was wondering, ive made some calls and its about 124.50 to get it installed. would you be willing to do it. for 70 or something, i need to save some cash on the install.since im prolly going to need to take it to a muffler shop and have a extension put in …
Normally, I’d be willing to help, but because of the heat I’ll have to decline. I don’t even work on my own car when its this hot. Sorry buddy. btw, if you can do a starter, I think you can do the header install.
Why do you have to fab an extension? If you buy a 90-91 header shouldn’t it bolt on? Did you buy a 1-piece or a 2-piece?
its a 2pc but ive been doing my home work more now since im about to order it, and ive heard a few people say that it is jsut a hair short. so i started looking at obx headers. and i read that the primarys dont line exactly witht he ports on the head… so i figured for better flow and smoother flow a small extension would work better.
thats kool man i just asked cuz you have air tools. and i didnt want to get half way into this, and then i cant finish due to stuck bolt…
ok yall know im a newbie but can any one help me install an obx air/fuel guage in the teg. i honestly dont know how
i dont know when i would have time but i can tell you how
look at your instructions find the signal wire, power wire, and ground wire. if its a 90 91 teg then its easyer cuz there is only one wire for the o2.
neways
connect your power wire to a switched 12v supply. i used my radio power wire. the ground can go to a bolt touching metal take any and all paint off the area and ruff it up alil. then the signal wire goes tot he 02, its the upstream o2 right on the header. DO NOT SPLICE INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE O2 WIRE. splice into it after the connecter. then reconnect your battery and go for a drive.
now i may have done something wrong when i wired mine or i got a bad one. but it stays lit up to full rich all the time when i drive. but when its floored in the higher rpms there is some light flickering with the last few leds. so i hope with my header swap and a new o2 everything will work… vdo correct me if i am wrong abotu any of the install i know your afr works …
**for 92 93 teggys. find the signal wire there should be 4 wires i think signal,power,heater, and a ground…
if you dont have one already get your hands on a haynes, or helms books.
If your feeling really ballzie. You could just pull a Tim Allen. MORE POWER!!!
And maybe get a free trip to the ER.
to the ones who liked the black housed head lights ebay i post the link to. after beening bored and searching around i found a post with a white da with those head lights, and man it makes the front end super clean…
Sweet! So when you goin’ to buy us all a set? j/k
I planned on getting them for my teg. Some time soon I hope.
Hey guys,
I found the new meet place for the car meet. It’s right by the Pep boys, that’s next to the Alimo Draft house in north/west austin.
Any takers for next week?
Hey guys my DA project is up for sale. If anyone in Austin needs DA parts let me know what you need. I have a brand new stage 2 clutch (90-91), built B18A1 short block, A1 tranny, motor mounts, 93 rs shell, and a bunch of other parts. You can email me at daddyshatch@tmail.com and I will recieve instantly or you may call me at 512-784-3393, my name is Daniel.
this is a long shot cuz i dont have any money right now. but how much for the bumpers, front and rear ? im getting pretty bored with the 90 91 bumpers…
I would like to sell the shell whole-$400 and it has new skunk2 springs with 0 miles. Someone come get this thing!!!
well guys my header is going to have to sit in my room for awhile. i know have a huge problem with my tranny… read this post and if you can offer any advise or suggestions please plese feel free
Don’t think of it as a small problem. I had this problem with two diffrent vehicales.
-
Your clutch could be going out.
-
Your disks could need to be chanced.
If it ain’t the first (pray that it is) then you need to replace your disks, take it to a Pro.
header is going on , clutch is being swapped to my exedy stage 1, then the flywheel, and the transmission is going to be taken apart and see what needs to be fixed.
so i went with the act 12.5lb flywheel.
i dont even know what to expect from the header and flywheel ( mainly the flywheel) but the break in on the exedy clutch isnt going to be fun and very boring,
Can’t wait to see it in action.
Who all’s going to the meet? I figured we could all meet up at the pepboys in north/west austin about 6 or 7 pm.
well dont count me in for this meet up maybe the next but my ccar is going to beundrivable for the next week or 2
i’m in, but i’m kind of out of the loop on terms of locations. where’s this one gonna be at?
I guess the meet will be at Pepboys at 6pm. It’s located at the corner of 183/Lake Creek Pkwy just south of 620. It shares the parking lot with Burlington, Alamo Drafthouse, Jason’s Deli, etc. I’ll update the calendar and post up a map when I get home tonight.
Here’s the address:
Pep Boys
13729 North Highway 183
Austin, TX 78750
I’ll most likely won’t make it since it’s a bad time for me.
Mike, you’re getting the same clutch/flywheel combo as the one I have (Exedy stg1/ACT 12.5lb fly). I haven’t had any problems with mine. You’ll love how fast your engine will rev with it.
Chi, done anything to your car while you were back home? There’s supposed to be a big import meet this weekend in Arlington: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread/1700920.
