New to hondas

[birdsfoot]

i just got a 92 accord wagon with a f22a for free the other day. been working on it. so far i did the brake and almost had a heart attack when i saw the hub over rotor design in the front. not something i was really expecting to see.

im getting ready to do the timing belt, water pump and balance shaft belt. what else should i go ahead and replace while im down there? anything special i should know about?

i know jack about hondas. im a dsm guy just trying something new.

lol, well if you "know jack" about hondas, then i wouldn't know what to say...thinking you didnt' mean that, im gonna also suggest to check all the basic stuff: Brake fluid, Trans fluid, allignment, oil, radiator (if need flush), brake pads/rotors, battery, spark plugs...stuff like that.

check the suspension components like ball joints, bushings, etc. Air filter, fuel filter, plugs, dizzy are all good tune up pieces.

[Djmoua]

yeah those too...and if you dont know or can't tell what is what...since i think you're trying to say that you dont know Jack about hondas...then just pop open the hood and study the engine bay, locate this, locate that. Should take you about a month to know where most things are if you Really wanna tune up your cb.

engine's are engine's. they all work in somewhat the same ways. he says he knows abot dsm's, just not honda's. i think he'll be ok finding his way around his motor.

well when i mean i don't know jack about honda's i mainly mean honda specific things. such as what you guys do performance wise. i didn't know engine swaps are so popular with honda's. dsm's are just big fmic, big injectors, big turbo, afc and tune. honestly i think i know too much about dsm's and turbo systems. but thanks for the reply's and what not. i'm sure you'll see me a lot around here.

i've already check the brake system. changed rotors and pads. checked the suspension while i was down there. changed the valve cover gasket. plugs and wires. what else should i replace while i do the timing belt? i read something about some seals and a retainer that holds one of the seals in. i don't know the specifics. anyone willing to inform me a little bit?

also i was planning on removing the a/c. i live in ohio and summers are'nt that bad. i think i saw that the alt and the a/c ran off the same belt. do they just make a non a/c belt for it?

sorry it was long. thx for all the help. if anyone needs any help/info on turbo systems i can probably help.

welcome to the Site & Hondas in general

Since your such a DSM fan you'll be happy to Know (if you don't know already) that the 1st gen turbo system pretty much bolts right on to The f22. thats what a lot of the turbo members are running on here.

so far hondas have been 1000 times easier to work on. i dont know why though my heart will always belong to the 4g63.
