    manual trans question for my build info

    ya im only getting 28 right now which is still better than my 97 tahoe but its about the same as my 13 v6 accord. my big thought here is if going to be stuck doing 3-4k i might definitely want to stick to a real na build. 4k trying to do highway speeds might start to build too much heat on the...

    manual trans question for my build info

    gas mileage isn't really the biggest concern but its does have a hand in hand with how high id have to run my rpms. i mentioned it earlier on only due to lack of correlating information i now have. so my big hang up now is the s20 and s40 would have me at 4000 rpms on the highway. besides the...

    manual trans question for my build info

    so i got a link for a breakdown of the manual transmissions. lowest final drive for 6th is 3.75 the cx 5th gen had a 3.25 option. might be a little doggish in 5th but i think an s20 from a cx might be what i want when i get around to this. this is a dd fun project tinkering type of deal so...

    manual trans question for my build info

    i honestly tried that search a few times and didnt come up with any specific information. the only thing that kept coming up was what gear to dyno in.... well thats the general information i was looking for and it definitely doesn't push me to get my manual swap done before anything else on my...

    manual trans question for my build info

    my 2000 ex coupe

    i wish i had waited to mount it tho but i couldn't help myself. the cat and test pipe were cheap so ill eventually have to replace that part. when i originally mounted the exhaust and made the cat pipe i only had regular all purpose mig wire. i properly welded the exhaust tip where i wanted...

    actually huge bonus was the correct front flange came with the skunk2 alpha headers. i just welded that onto the front of the cat. i dont like lights on my dash so i wanted the o2 bung and invidia has a nice test pipe with an o2 bung and the correct size flange and pipe for the tanabe. so the...

    my 2000 ex coupe

    bad camera angle makes the tip look like its sticking out further than it is. anyway there my skunk2 headers and the end of the exhaust. besides i had to move the tip and i custom made a 2.5 magnaflow catted pipe from an invidia test pipe. fitment was perfect bolted right up and only had to...

    my 2000 ex coupe

    ill post some pics later in the week when i get a chance to reposition the tip. not thrilled with where its at so ill cut it off and reattach it where i want it. drove it to work today and it feels good. maybe a bit more acceleration not much but possibly barely noticeable could just be me...

    my 2000 ex coupe

    ya i already cheaped out once but i needed some cheap and quick. stupid ebay headers.... they did the job of resealing and attaching the stock cat flange but its definitely cheap. cant wait for the rest of my exhaust so i can take those back off. i definitely dont want to do a manual swap...

    Crank but no spark

    ok pull one of the plugs out and reconnect the plug wire. with a well insulated pair of plier hold the sparkplug metal part of the body against the engine and have someone crank the engine. unless you have tools to "properly" check for spark thats the redneck method. if you have spark...
