Wow it's been a while since I've updated this thread

Let's see.... the car has been off the road for the last 6-7 months while I save and stock pile parts.

I've been driving an auto civic around..... yes a civic, please don't think bad of me :worship:

:P

So, now for the parts.

RB26 cam covers, also picked up the cam gear backing plate and a pair of -10 breathers

Its about time some updates got made! Haha.

Thats a Hi Octance can setup yeah? Very nice mate.

Also, pics of civic :P

Yeh HiOctane catch can

No pics of the civic, it's bad enough that I own it, don't want people to know what it looks like :P

The cam covers were sent to be painted earlier in the week, just waiting on the baffles for them

The car is due on the hoist hopefully monday. Drop the gearbox and pull out the old sump and install the new one.

Install everything else then work out what fittings I need and measure up lines

So keen to start the work.

After months of saving and stocking up parts it's time to get started

When I got to my mates places early yesterday morning and walked in to the garage to see this I was jumping around like a school girl. :D

I was finally able to get my hands dirty with this car

We dropped the gearbox, removed the clutch and flywheel and removed the old sump.

Couldn't belive what we had to take off to get to 2 small screws at the rear of the sump.

Also noticed that my passanger side engine mount is completely screwed so both mounts will be changed, Nismo mounts of course :P

We hit a bit of a snag late yesterday afternoon. After removing the timing belt, harmonic balancer then the oil pump, we found that the new billet gears I've got are to big for this pump.

It looks like they are for an N1 oil pump. So my mate was going today to get it swapped for the correct gears as well as pick up the new engine mounts.

So that's it so far. I'm back at work for the next 3 nights so I won't be able to get stuck in to the work until saturday afternoon/night but with my mate being on holidays, he'll be able to pump out a fair bit until them.

Got a problem with the intake manifold though. On the stock runners it sits to far to the left and the throttle body hits the fuse box.

Not sure if there is a difference between the 33 and 34 manifold but something does seem right with this.

I'm going to have to head to plazmaman on monday before work

There is a different between 33 & 34 manifold - one of them is the the Idle Air valve. But if yours fit on the manifold then it means you've got the right one.

I was told you dont need to relocate anything to install these. Keen to see what the issue turns out to be.
