Intake manifold gasket replacement | rear main seal | Honda Civic EG 

Sure thing Tyler! Thank you as well man, and yeah, the gasket took some time!

Thanks a lot Mitch. Yeah, we'll be getting there with it. Hopefully beginning of January it'll be firing up for the first time. I'm real excited for it. Thanks for sticking with me through the process!

What's the torque spec on that bracket with the rear main seal

Oh sweet! Well I certainly appreciate you hangin' out. Just need to install the clutch/flywheel and get the trans prepped then it's all going back in the car. A few videos ago I cleaned up and painted the engine bay, real happy with that one. But happy to have you on board, thank you! -Robbie

Thanks a lot! Sure appreciate you sticking around.

Oh that rocks dude! Thank you so much for sticking around. So we’re in the same boat then haha, very cool. How is it going for you, with your install? Ex trans is the way to go with the d series too

I got the Z6 harness today out of the junkyard, now all I have to do is find the time off of work to put everything together haha. Also attempting something a bit harder, I'm converting mine to power locks, windows and mirrors.

Oh sweet! That's convenient, don't have to run the vtec separate then. But cool man, going full power on the interior. It's funny, you are adding that stuff making it nice, I am stripping everything out, making mine less nice lol. All about what we use the car for though right

I just wanted to attempt something to make mine unique with a few creature comforts. I see it as same passion for cars with slightly different builds haha. Thanks for replying and keep up the great vids! Your vids have helped me with my build.

So let me catch you up. Old motor was a b8/b7 hybrid they pieced together and they used the z6 manifold on it. New motor I just bought (the d16z6) did not come with an intake manifold. So am just re-using the manifold I already have.

Because racecar.

Always appreciate it man! Thank you

lol yeah...that would help a bit wouldn't it.

Refine Movement yea I picked up a cheap foldable table from home depot for lite projects, which is great cause I can store it when not in use. but I need to make a bench as well

I’m happy you’re looking forward to it man, sure appreciate you hangin around! It’s going to be so cool. So the header that I got with the d16 looks to be some generic 4/2/1 ebayish header. But it looks way better than a stock manifold so I’m going to use that to get it running. From there, I’d like to look into getting some piping created or see what kits are available. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot man! Sure appreciate you hangin’ around!

That would be a good idea, thanks man. It seems the rust or whatever it is has build up and made it so it's not even the shape of a bolt head anymore though. its like the Earth is taking the car back lol. But I'll have a look again, thanks

Yeah. I haven't shown it in the videos yet but I have a z6 ECU and I'm going to wire the vtec straight to it

lol you know it!

Sorry man but I’m not sure what to tell you there. I’ve never experienced that problem myself anyway. If someone sees this comment who knows anything about it, please shed some light for us! Thanks

Ac Condenser went out

It does yeah, they were 10ft lb which is super light. Practically just tighten them down but 10ft lb is it.

I have a 92. Yeah I’ve heard it’s pre wired for vtec, but is that the case on the engine harness as well? I was under the impression that the interior loom going into the bay was pre wired. I was thinking I was going to run the vtec wires straight to the ecu like you did.

Refine Movement I have an auto harness I can cutout the harness connectors connecting engine harness to interior harness that way you don't have to run inside.. that way you just wire it into the back of the connectors make it look clean. running them through the firewall was a pain...

So it just seems like a good idea right lol. I agree with you man. Just gives you that peace of mind, no confusion.

I possibly should label my wiring harness but rather I bag and label all of my bolts and nuts when engine removal/replacement

There are some lines that are connected from the intake to the cylinder head so yeah, you will have to remove those. It’s not hard, but yeah, you’ll want to drain the coolant and put new fluid in

J W. How is that intake .leaking or not?

I don't know much about this car but generally you want your air fuel ratio to be even and adding a bigger intake with stock injectors would make the AFR lean. Not that it really matters since the ECM would try to balance it out by increasing the pulsewidth of the injectors but bigger injectors would keep the ECM from having to compensate.
