We'll try plan A for a little, then move to plan B.
Plan A, trace wires and see what I missed. If I can't find it in about 2-3 hours time tomorrow, I'm ripping the wires out and running a manual switch inside the cabin that will run directly to the fan. RadioShack for the win..
ah yes, i troubleshoot enough wires at work... the thought of doing it on a car irritates me. lolQuote:

...SO i will not be running tomm most likely. Oh well.
Good luck with your wiring :D
-jonathan
Focus on that timing belt, first. That's gonna take some time. I'm waiting for a ride to get to radioshack, LoL.
What happened with your fan? I hope I can get in there when I'm doing a part-out restoration on this damn thing and get everything cleared up. Til then...guess I'll deal...
yall have fun @ the track this weekend, i'll be working sunday :(.
Guess I'll just keep those hinges...
Ben if you need help, my offer still stands. :goodjob:
Just give me a call.
Need any help I can get...

sweet ill be there to. what time yall planing on being down here...
Man I'm sorry guys!!!
Last night my car throwing a code 20 (electric load sensor) and firestone ****ed up my alignment. So my car wasnt in racing condition hope I can get everything fixed and get her on the track at the next event.
Dare got scared, basically. Saw 89Lude down there, though. Cool guy.
So...as it stands...I won the bet by default. Next time, Dare...we'll have a REAL match...
I realized while down there that uh...sound deadening material REALLY deadens sound. With it out and removed and stuff...my engine sounds SO much louder in the cabin. Thank god this is being a race-only vehicle...
Ok, time for numbers!
I mostly want to see your 60ft, e/t and trap speed.
LoLoL
Well, I don't ahve the slips in front of me, but I'll give you what I can for now...
91 Civic hatch (mostly gutted) B18A1 OBD1 on LS Trans and about 1/2tank gas, all stock...
Started out with a 17.5 due to something with the PR4 ecu that this motor just DOES NOT like... Runs great until you hit the top of 2nd gear (but only sometimes) and then it just chokes out. I dont' know...
Switched ECU's and stuck between 15.5 and 15.2 for the other 2-4 passes. Was trying different little things like tire pressure, wet/dry, (thanks for the tip, dare!) burnout vs. no burnout, hard vs. soft launch, getting more familiar with redlines, and changing fuel pressure here and there.
The last pass I brought a passenger, but tried some different things that SHOULD have put me in the really low 15's. Without the passenger, probably would have hit 14's. Why can I not vouch for it? For whatever reason...that time ticket printed everything but my 1/4 time and speed. Not sure why...
Best was just over 15.2 @ about 92mph (I think?)
I'll get more into detail later...
What was your 60 ft on that best run?
The 15.2 would be about normal for an LS in an EF. When me and darryl went to silver dollar back in March, I was lined up against an EF hatch with a B18A on one run. He ran 15.0 @ 89 with a great launch.
I wanted to go today, but I had to work. last time out I managed a trap speed of 95.8 mph, which should have put me deep in the 14s, but I could never get the launch right. With lighter wheels and an empty trunk this time, I know I'd improve. Oh well..
Gimmee time, I'll improve. Just gotta get the money to start the project.
I'd love to see your car on the track. We need to just do a track day...fo-rizzle (dare, is that right? Fo...rizzle?)
I just realized something, though, that's REALLY gonna suck. I ****ing HATE the cold. I pulled alot of things out of my car for this weekend (since it'll be going all-race) including the heater. Well...I'm driving the car until the other hatch is done. This is gonna be a ****ty winter...
mine was 13.962 at 100.21 then my 60 ft time was 2.1 with 14 inch slicks and 14.0 with 2.5 60ft with street tires... not bad for a4 dr... b16 stock internals running 10 pounds of boost...
LOL 89_lude is holding it down for the EFs
now get the ***** tuned!!!
With tuning you'll be much faster. I know of EFs running less boost on a B16 that are in the 12s. :goodjob:Quote:

Lude..seriously. 2510? Go on a diet, man... What's your car weigh?
Lude, good meeting you (again) today, bro. And nice run. Get it tuned, and lets see what she's got! I see you've PM'd me...haven't read it tonight, and I won't be. I'll get it tomorrow night, and I'll have more of the information you need/want...but we'll probably work somethin' out.
At least someone is... :rolleyes:Quote:

I didn't make it today because my timing belt slipped saturday night, bent most of the valves, and made the baby jesus cry. :cry:
(sorry folks)
-jonathan
It was good seeing you out there 89_Lude, I have the ticket where you ran the 13.9 at 100 MPH cause you were racing me in the new Civic Si :).
I ran quite a few times Sat with a best of 14.4 at 99 MPH on my street tires, came into some problems after this last run when I would put it into gear, release the clutch & it wouldn't engage at all so a track personel tows me (w/ tow strap) about 1/2 mile down the road to my hotel where it sat for the night. Then my friend came down early and helped me tow it back to the track (with Type-R + tow strap) and good thing I brought a spare axle because we swapped it out & it worked again! The teeth on the very end of the axle that goes into the tranny was rounded out so it wasn't connecting w/ the shaft inside the diff so I didn't want to risk breaking anything else & sat out for today :( (looks like Panda can't handle 2 days of racing, cause last time I broke my PP on Sat & couldn't compete on Sun)
End of story ..
