Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

      the h23 vtec needs the h22 drivers mount bracket for the cb7. the one that comes with it is too short on the bolt pattern.

      and of course an ecu tune. I have this engine in my car and running it great.

      let me know if you have any questions.

        That is for the full setup though. I would not bow out just because this wiring harness is so much. I would try to make my own first looking at the price. Start off with learning how to solder wires together and heat wrap them. I believe there is a guy that posted these wonderful connectors that not only solder the wires, but heat wrap them too. I wish I had the pics.

        If you have patience and take your time with each individual wire you can make your own harness if you are really motivated to do it. Just one thing at a time and don't overwhelm yourself. I have confidence in you.

            Hey, everyone needs to start somewhere when it comes to modifying cars. Looks like your route is a little tougher then most. Just don't let it get you down. Make it happen.

                  Having fitment issues with the PS line, pump, and bracket...

                  Bracket from 95 VTEC Prelude = fits onto engine perfectly
                  Line from 92-95 Non-VTEC Prelude = fits but needs modification
                  Pump from 92-95 Non-VTEC Prelude = fits bracket but only on one bolt



                  WTF!!!!!

                    "The power steering from your Accord won't work without a lot of rigging. Just use a pump, bracket and line from a '92-'96 Prelude and you're fine. The H22A may even have the P39 backet attached to it still."

                    You must have a wrong year bracket or pump. Make sure they are from the same generation Prelude.

                      Found my problem...

                      The pump is a P11. The bracket is a P5M2.

                      Damn... gotta go back to the junkers...

                        Gave up on the junkers and ordered my part from hmotorsonline.com. They're the only company that had them...

                        But at least the motor is in the car! The video link is on my updates post!

                          Ok, there's gas in the tank, the engine turns over, runs & sounds nice, fuel injectors recently serviced by RC Engineering, no bogging, no sputtering, running a PCB ECU, timing's checked & done, IAC Valve is functioning, new spark plugs, new o2 sensor, no vacuum leaks, but when I press & let off the gas, the car dies and has to be turned back on. WTH?

                          Can anyone help me figure out this confusion?

                            Vacuum leak? I'm guessing no since you said IACV works.
                            TPS and Map sensors good?
                            Does it bog and die or just die?

                              At first I thought it was a vac leak, but no I checked for that and all good.

                              TPS and MAP sensors good, otherwise I would've gotten a code

                              When I slowly give it a little gas, it bogs a little bit, and when I let go of the gas, it dies...

                                Tps sensors are not 1-2 step bolt on applications. It needs to be adjusted.

                                If your tps is out of sync you will have a handful of problems.

                                Though being slightly off will not prevent your car from running.

                                It can cause minor to severe problems though.

                                I would check what it's set at, at idle and wot.
