With black shading in the right spots to give it some shadows, it would look ghostly. Airbrush style.

Do series alternator, but it's a relocation kit to
Put it where your ac originally goes!!

[Raf99]

ya, after talking to the ESP guy, I found out today that with the ESP ALT relocation kit which I am using, you must have a 89-91 D series civic or CRX ALT to use with the kit if the H22 will not fit/work with your combo. This is not documented anywhere! 92+ ALT will not work...

BUT the 91 civic/CRX ALT only comes in a 60AMP output . Ya.. BS right. So that won't do at all! So one would have to have the ALT rewired for 90AMP + to use this kit at all or simply use the H22 ALT.

As you can see from mine, the D series would put the plug in a different spot (up top) which would help a lot.

91 D-series ALT

Taken straight from the site:

The H22A/F22/F23 Alternator/Tensioner kit is for either the H or D series alternators on the H22A/F22/F23 engine. Just switching the factory bracket out will drop a few lbs. and our kit hugs the engine more. Ideal for motor swaps with no room. Also looks better then the bulky factory cast iron piece. The D series alternator is smaller and lighter, smaller pulley, smaller belt, 3 ribbed instead of 6 has less drag and should free up some ponies. If using D series Alternator must be from 88-91 Civic/Crx/Wagon/Sedan has 3 ribbed belt and pulley 92+ have different spacing and is 4 ribbed. 92+ wont work. From switching the H22A alternator and factory bracket to our kit and the D series alternator there is about 6 lbs in weight savings. Our kits come complete with bolts, nuts, washers and detailed instructions.

I'm using the evolution bracket, d series alternator
Does just fine!!

But i see it here now under this page. http://www.explicitspeedperformance.net/ESPHFALT.html
I just thought the ALT tension kit was different than the ALT relocation bracket kit.

oh well, my bad.

Idk why but I am loving the VC color. I get like a good feeling looking at it...weird huh?

I was just thinking this same thing.

Thanks. More updates everyday, ....... like this one.

Done = rad hose, mounts, charge piping, PS, and other small things, about to fire it up soon.




Left to do: coolant lines to turbo, tune, turbo inlet filter, DIY windshield washer reservoir, heat wrap, catch can drain, alignment, and other small items.

looking good, take a video when you fire her up.

I'm getting anxious! I cannot wait until you get this beast fired up... I hope you plan on taking some videos.

[Raf99]

I'll see what i can do for the video. The tuner wants to go-pro the car so maybe I'll see if i can use this as I don't have a very good video camera except for my phone.
