Any Honda 1.7 owner here?

Finally got the K20a swap started, found out that the method of grounding fuel pump will make fuel pump constantly running at key on situation. Might have to figure out a way to use a timer to set it to run constantly ONLY after the engine is running.

So you don't run out your battery when engine off and using headlights/other electricals for whatever purpose. It's a small matter if you don't daily drive though.

because it works that way in the original system? Not carburetor era with mechanical pumps le
The timer is for priming (pressurizing the fuel pump)

Anyway, contacted Ktuned. If I want it to prime properly, need to run K-pro, and disable immo, and it will convert the E1 into grounded input with 5 secs prime timer. With stock JDM ecu, this feature is unavailable.

Well, this problem with priming is only present when using stock ECU, since you're using K-Pro, you don't have this problem.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but the fuel pump works like this, when on key, engine off, it grounds the fuel pump relay for about 5 secs to pressurize the rail, when you start your engine, the ECU detects your engine is running and grounds the relay indefinitely until you turn your engine off, when engine is running, fuel pump is always running constantly.

Anyway, I think I may be able to use a 555 monostable circuit and two relays (or three?) to create a custom pump prime circuit using a relay to ground the Pin8 on the main relay, and using a secondary to ground when engine is running, triggered by the charge light. Still trying to figure  out combine the two so that I save using an extra relay, Another relay is already used a momentary switch, so I have to figure out how to wire the SPDT relay so that I don't have to make it three. Still chicken scratches on paper though. Will see how it works out. Since these are just circuit relays they're the tiny types, not the huge automotive ones.

Nice, but my electronics kung fool not so high level to use microcontrollers. Signals are easy, figured it out, like I mentioned above, total cost of so far not exceed RM30 lol. Took a 555 from another timer I had lying around.

Just want to try out my electronics skills really, the fuel pump running all the time is not a problem actually. Going to try out different sections of the circuit tommorow to see how well it works. Had to convert the switched signal to a 1/2 second relay trigger, so it's actually a few seperate circuits combined together on the veroboard. So going to check each one before connecting them all together with 12-14.x V on car tommorow to see if I got the resistance and capacitance right for the 5 secs relay trigger.

Anyway, I'm not sure, but I heard the PRC ecu can't be K-pro-ed as well.

BTW, just curious what management you run?

PNN? Never heard of it lol, using currently is PRC, DC5 ECU.
E-manage eh? What car are you running it on? EG also?
Anyway, from what little I know about the K20a VTC system is that each ECU has it's own VTC map, and it's not similar since different K20a have different VTC limits.

Anyway, not expecting much with this K20a either, my friend just running it stock since it makes B20B power with all stock internals, no need tuning and bother about reliability, just PPAG (put petrol and go) Thinking it will hit 200-210 in stock form.

Running dual O2s as well, with the diag connector intact, so can use OBD scanners as well, just like the new DC5/FD, but on EG body lol.

Already he's talking about ITBs while the car still being built up, but cost of K-pro + ITB not cheap lol. At first say want to run standard, now already going out of control. Dunno who poison lol.

Oh, ES model. you modded in a type R from DC5? or just the stock K20a? The stock K20A in the original ES only had VTC, no cam phasing I think. My cousin got the millenium black limited edition 2.0 ES, I think HP around 160ish.

I think the ET is the local CKD model, like EG, local chassis code is EH, EK = EJ, etc.

Oh yeah, cam phasing got, but no cam switching.    lol Mixed up the terms

I guessed right then, since the Millenium black ES was the only limited edition car around that seems likely to have a strange ECU where no one else has heard of or used, My cousin's car is still around, but my cousin downgraded to EG, and gave/sold the car to his sister. I remember it was quite expensive during that time, 120K+? forgot. His EG is better equipped though, the ES he just drove around stock.

But if living in KL, I think I also will sell my older gen car, due to the popularity with thieves.

puasa is over....so to my muslim civic brothers n sisters...selamat hari raya!!!

to non muslims...happy holidays!

drive safe!

no saman yet n insyallah no saman later on oso... coz ill be driving my sister's car for outstation travels..hahaha

cant drive my civic simply bcoz i had a f-ed up night last night... took the car out at about 3am for a quick rempit session on federal highway and while in 4th gear @ 7k RPM...my clutch kaputed...put it in gear and tekan minyak, absolutely nothing...

i can select gears so im pretty sure the gb is still good...plus when my car came out of the workshop a couple of weeks ago mechanic said he feels like my clutch cannot support already.

put in 1st gear... or any gear...release clutch..n nothing...car doesnt move n doesnt stall..clutch pedal feels like normal and all fluids are good...no leaks and no pump failures

was stranded at the side of federal highway for about 30 minutes coz couldnt find the number for tow trucks..plus there were groups of rempits going around....luckily none of them had the "robbing mood"

thankfully a police patrol car came by and i got them to help me out...but it even took them quite a number of calls to get a tow truck for me.

im using it...came with the car... reliable yes...but the spring is a lil hard. so when u press the pedal, it feels a lil stiff (for throttle cable....drive by wire wa tatau)

better to get the Skunk2 Alpha... for B series, pricing is about the same.

try n research the pricing for Skunk2 Alpha series.. dont bother with the pro series and compared with the S90... if its affordable then apa lagi?

bro i having some weird prob...just got back from kampung and already realise this...so here's the prob...

I cruising highway for about 2 hour la* water temp below center*,and then when i stop up at R&R letting engine idle with open bonnet * water temp naik* cruise highway again drop down below centre
Then reach pusat bandar have slightly of traffic jam water temp gone up again   Reach house let it sleep and check tomorrow morning...spare tank water almost dry off d but radiator water still have...

Checked
1-Radiator fan running well but
sometimes Hot air coming out and sometimes Cold air were out  

i wonder why...??

yup got use coolant ....saw it leaking some above from my spare tank there...and behind no idea where especially located behind my radiator fan

Hmm check engine oil for some funny colour..??you mean check the dip stick ah bro...??i got use coolant bro till kering no idea fly where d haizzz

in 4 months I been spending money on my eg...

1st steering pump, then tie rod end and arm link, after that.. bateri dead (used 3 years) bought a new one (time to change). Last week the alternator kong, when I got the car today, the brake gave up... almost hit a car in front, had to climb the side walk to evade it...

suspected the brake line got air... as the pedal getting lower to the floor to hit the brake.

Bleed it just now and the brake fluid won't come down from the master cylinder reservoir. Suspected the Master cylinder brake, or the booster...
dunno...
to do list

Suspension, Front Upper Arms, Radiator, Cigarette socket, rear antenna (stuck in the middle perhaps the gear wornout),
rear driver side power window motor, front passenger power window switch. Rust on the rear signal lamp as my car always parked at the sea side..

Hope can fix them soon... demn hard to get 'em parts here...

Are these a common problems in 8th Gen Civic?

1. Wheel bearing problem
2. Steering rack problem
3. Disk brake warped
4. Anybody face rattling dashboard?
5. Is it really poor NVH?

Current Civic owner, please enlighten me on these issues.
Thanks guys.

Hi, does anyone know how to repair wiper scratches on windscreen ? there's one long line now
