Tha Bread · What is done to it.

This is my 88 civic lx sedan.
i bought it for 800 and put it up for sale for 1500.
i got many offers but just couldnt sell it.
i <3 it too much.

this is my daily driver as well as my project.
it has a stock d15b2 with 224k miles on it.
plan on doing a mini me. Wink

i just recently fixed a major idling issue it had.
it would idle up to 3k.
it turned out to be only an ect sensor.
i also am going to have to fix an oil leak but i dont know
where the oil is leaking from yet.

i have thrown a shortram intake and short throw shifter on it
so far. i have a brand new 4-2-1 sohc header waiting to be bolted on but dont plan on doing it till the oil leak is fixed and do a dpfi to mpfi swap to start off the mini me. Very Happy

p.s. i repainted the old rusted steelies black with a white lip for the meantime. hope u like. ^_^

good luck. and it might be leaking from the main seal. if its stick and oil gets on the clutch it might slip. thats what happend to mine but i fixed it and now its good.

Tha Bread

how bad was the leak?
mine is pretty bad.
and it might be from the main seal like u said.
because sometimes it feels like my clutch is slipping a bit.

i took it to a mechanic but the dude didnt know what he was talkin about. he said it was leaking where the transmission meets the engine. and that it needed a new gasket between there. but there is no gasket between the engine and transmission so i dont know.

EF2dudesocal

well its the main seal. its just like an o ring that goes around the shaft that ur trany meets ur engine i think thats seals the crankshaft. well my leaked a few drops per hour. if u would want to do it when u get a new clutch and get that main seal then throw it all in at the same time its not hard u can take it off with a screwdriver. u will need to take ur flywheel off also to get access to it. how long has that been going on

Tha Bread

hmm so its not a gasket that goes right there its an o ring?
its been going on for awhile(were talkin months) and it drips alot after i have been driving around for awhile. but when the car has just been sitting maybe only a few drops an hour. Evil or Very Mad

EF2dudesocal

thats what it sounds what its. do u plan on fixing it urself or getting a new clutch soon?

Tha Bread

fixing the oil leak myself.
im probably not gonna get a new clutch for awhile.
atleast until after i do the dpfi to mpfi.

EF2dudesocal

r u converting it urself or u have some place?

Tha Bread

i am going to be converting it myself.
using the knowledge i get from the internet.
Lol i have already fixed one of the problems with my car thanks to the internet. and it looks like i might be able to fix the oil leak also
thanks to ur help and the info u have given me.

EF2dudesocal

hope i can help and its that so u can fix it and have a good running sedan. good luck.

Tha Bread

yea man thanks.
after the oil fix.
im gonna be doing the dpfi to mpfi swap.
get new spark plug wires.
some coilovers.
throw on my 4-2-1 sohc performance header.
get a catback exhaust system.
and run it like that for awhile and take care of the paint and body.
after the paint and body i will throw on the vtec head and plan on boosting it. Wink

EF2dudesocal

Tha Bread

i've heard the d15b's are super good for boost, because they can rev so high. i've heard stories of them running sti's all day. thats only on 8 lbs or so
