wow is the forum dad or am I just that boring??

Anyways, so I have been reading up on the billions of "mini-me" threads to gather up info and a general parts list and besides all the usual tune-up parts I want to make sure I have whats needed. Also theres a few things I got confused about after hearing obd0/1/2 and hundred thousand times...

What I have so far:
sohc jdm zc
lsd L3 tranny
vtec head (complete) from either 98 or 00 (cant fucking remember)

Parts I still need but not sure of haha:

P28 ecu?
vtec controller (vafc)?
Harness to convert crx from OBD0 to OBD2 right since the head is from a 98 or 00

I am also not sure of what:
Timing Belt
Cam/gear
dizzy

Also from what I read the Y8 metal head gasket is the way to go vs. the cometic one.

I realize this has prolly been covered many times I just cant seem to find anyone with as random a set as I have. Hence the confusion.

And on top of all this, I was getting on the freeway today headed to work, and I am shifting gears and watching the RPM's shoot up while practically going no where... I can smell the clutch and its deff on its last few weeks im sure... Also not sure of what clutch flywheel combo I can run. I think its anything for 88-90 right?

 

Check the adjustment on your clutch.
There should be a little freeplay at the throwout lever (the transmission end of the clutch cable) when you check it. No freeplay means you're basically driving around the clutch pedal partly depressed. (hence slippage)

I don't have any info on mini-me swaps. (but, I think ODB-2 requires an oxygen sensor after the cat in addition to the one at the manifold)

 

Thx for the tip on the O2 sensor Chris, as far as the clutch I dont think that is my problem, tho somethingI will check anyways.. I can deff feel the clutch engage and disengage. Ya never tho, so thx again.

 

So since I have to pull the tranny to fix whatever my grinding problem is, be it a clutch fork or whatever, I am going to replace the clutch as well. Its slowly getting worse by the week so I'm just going to change it.

Based of a previous post I read I will be safe purchasing a 88-89 clutch kit? I don't see a real reason to get a after market flywheel but if I find a good price I just might.

 

The 88 had a totally different rear suspension than later models. Most of the time what will fit on the 88-89 will fit on 90-91 but when it comes to rear suspension the 88 is by itself. 88-89 Si had drum brakes and 90-91 Si had disk brakes.

 

Been a while since I updated... been hanging around d-series.org since I am trying to figure otu what to do motor wise for the car...

I have piked up these items tho

Energy Suspension kit
neuspeed race springs
89+ rear lcas

and your basic tune up parts seals plugs filters etc

Still need:

clutch/flywheel
brakes
shocks
trailing arm kit

Once I get all that I will put the car in the garage and do it all over a weekend.

Got fired 2 weeks ago so that slowed things down in a major way.
