Well you're definitely ticking all the check boxes. That's an awesome hookup you got. Any plans for bolt ons?

Manual Tensioner Swap Kit (from IRP $79.00)







I know I read a bunch of threads about people saying they could barely get the TB on with the manual tensioner. It was tight but not to the point where I was sweating to put it on lol. I took my time & it went on very nicely. Did a bunch of hand cranks & it spun very smoothly. Only weird trouble I had was the damn rear balancer. I read soooo many threads about how even if you use the service port you can still be off a tooth. I think I got it right because I used a screwdriver & it went in like it is supposed to which lined up on the gear at the "5 o'clock" position that matched the line on the actual block, as well as the V notch at the top of the gear.

Well probably just use my Yonaka Catback still, get a short ram because the throttle body is way bigger than the F22's. Not much for now because of how much the swap was lol. My pockets need some recovery for the moment haha.

Innovative Mounts (not trying to drill & tap the T2W4 I just couldn't bring myself to do it lol.)

Thanks to tJoodz he figured out that with these mounts you will need to use a shorter stud on the front left bolt spot on the tranny mount (looking at the picture below) because the original trans stud is too long & will hit the body's motor mount location. This obviously does not happen when you tap into the holes for the F22 trans mount but I am not going that route. I may try to use the same bolt that the rear mount uses so that it will sit low enough for clearance. Thread regarding discussion: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=209613

Seriously.....I just bought my T2w4 from him a couple months ago, he hooked me up with a free starter and stickers but not a Euro-R upgrade lmao. You will have a lot of fun with that motor and Steve is an awesome guy. It would be cool if he popped in here and said hi.

[G. Wiffington]

Lol well I think he was only trying to hook me up with the LSD trans but the guys in the shop must have misread it or something. Either way I can't complain.

Off to a great start, you'll love the euro r over the standard h22.

Been busy with work but I have managed to clean up the bay & finished retaping/looming the main harness(very oily/dirty). The wiring for the thermo sensor connector & the oil pressure switch were so brittle they fell apart. I have also been working on the brakes situation. Since my modulator for the ABS was leaking somewhere I wanted to just get rid of the whole setup. When I pulled the modulator you could see that the actual body inside the bay was rusting away because of how bad the fluid was leaking. I have taken all of the ABS lines out as well the rest of the equipment.

I have the 40/40 prop valve connected up to the rear lines & have installed the new non-ABS Brake Booster. Today I am going to install the MC so I can bend & fabricate how the hard lines should be.

Slowly but surely it is coming along.

Waiting for a few pieces from Rosko Racing for the Intake Mani. (They sent my order to the wrong house.)

[Bunta]

just curious, what you are getting for the intake manifold from Rosko?

Nice build up so far.

[G. Wiffington]

Thank you! I have been working a lot so my time is somewhat limited to when I can get in my garage but, I should be able to drop in the Euro by next weekend.

I had to do some fabricating on the Fuel Rail Adapter..Rosko gives you two "metal spacers" that go in place of the two studs that the rail sits on & bolts to the IM which were too long. Since I am using the F22's Fuel Rail the length of the metal spacers made the rail sit too high which was causing the rail to not sit low enough for the injectors to be completely sealed tight. I had to grind down the metal spacers almost 1/4" in order to get a flush seal on the injectors. I also used 4 small washers (2 for each bolt) towards the head of the bolt to compensate for the length lost on those metal spacers.( I am using the Euro's stock injectors.)

Also, in order to use the F22's Fuel rail I had to cut off the middle notch for where the middle bolt bolts up to in order to clear the EGR cover plate. Other than that the Fuel Rail Adapter bolts up nicely. I am sure someone could fabricate the whole setup, it is a fairly simple design.

Seems like a lot of work, I reused all the oem parts with no problems.

Lol wasn't too bad. How did you end up using the OEM? You used the Euro's parts?

[G. Wiffington]

Engine is in! Just putting a few finishing touches on. I bought a cheapo DNA motors Downpipe & Header for a BB1 about a month ago assuming it would be long enough. But, I had trouble with the downpipe being about 2 inches short. So, I tried to cut my test pipe in half & use an exhaust extension in the middle to make it longer. But, since the original exhaust that came with my CB was some shitty fart can ebay catback, it had an odd diameter of 2 3/8" & I just could not find an extension that size. So..I ended up purchasing an adjustable test pipe (from shitty DNA motors) but it actually worked very well. In the future I will get something welded to size for a permanent test pipe, this setup is just temporary.
I also had to grind down part of the front subframe because the downpipe could not clear with the limited space. I think I read about people who put the H22A4s had that problem?
Another annoying issue was my fault since I am using the F22's Power Steering setup, I could not close the hood all the way because the pump sits so high. I did the ghetto hood spacers DIY & used the bushings from the OEM Intake to give the hood more room & it does shut all the way perfectly. I am just going to use the F22 power steering setup until I can get the correct H22 setup.

I know Bunta has a Euro so everyone & anyone with a Euro tell me if you had any of these little issues! Thanks!
