[Spazz]

[rbsileighty]

sweet man, i like the Datson 510!

[curbsurfer253]

my first car was a 99 civic si, which i sold for 12k. that was my budget, including buying the 240. I ended up going over by 1k. whole swap took 5-6 months. I am not using a Q45 tb due to the size of the piping on the cold side of the fmic. using that tb makes it taper too much and the piping was so big that it would have been hard to fit it through the battery tray and bend cleanly to the tb. i bought one and tested it out, but now i'm selling it. Oh, and i did an auto to manual conversion along with the swap and i haven't tracked down a cheap shift boot yet. i'll get one soon enough.

I love the pic with the ic! Thanks man, thats cool as hell. here's a pic that shows how snug the piping runs-

. i bought one and tested it out, but now i'm selling it.

Congrats on the finished product...........

Are you selling the throttle body, is it complete, if so how much ?

I got first Dibs......

[silkk]

Whoa.. nice!

[curbsurfer253]

I bought the tb from McKinney for $230 + $10 shipping, so I'm asking $200 shipped anywhere in the U.S.

[rbsileighty]

No prob... that is tight in there. I assume that is an SR FMIC kit?

[red240zenki]

Hey does your car run fine on the stock ecu? I'm planning on doing a lot of similar stuff like you, mainly the Greddy Intake Mani.

[Spazz]

i cant get over how much better the greddy intake manifold looks over the stock one....how difficult was it for you to switch from auto to manual?im just wondering because its hard to find manual s14's where i live

[curbsurfer253]

It's an sr fmic kit, but i ended up doing the piping all custom. car runs pretty good on the stock ecu, but i'm still working out a bug due to changing it over to a "blow-thru" air meter setup. And to Spazz; save yourself the hassle and find a manual. Buying an auto was my biggest regret. Doing the auto to manual conversion held up the swap way too much. It is not easy to track down a clutch and brake pedal. The pedal off of my front clip did not work, interior pieces aren't easy to find either, and you'll waste money for the swap on a clutch line,tube,and master cylinder.

So has Greddy worked out the bugs in their intake manifold? (the number 5 and 6 cylinders running lean) I would love to get one but was waiting until I got engine management so I could fix the problem by tuning to compensate.

[b-s14]

how is your car running as in heating wise... does it over heat.. ? and what are you using for radiator/fans, and if you swapped out thermostat and water pump.. ?

[curbsurfer253]

it doesn't overheat at all. i have 2 10" electric fans with an adjustable switch, stock ka radiator, new stock thermostat, stock waterpump

If anyone in GA needs S14 or S13 clutch and brake pedals please let me know. I know where two sets of S14 are and lots of S13 sets. I probably won't go get them for you, but I will tell you where they are.
