1996 Integra GSR Sedan

Been stalking your build, love integras. Thanks for the progress updates.
I do have a question though, where is the Upull Junkyard near Vandergrift?

 

oh the feeling

 

The one i go to is out in Penn Hills technically, but its basically East Hills. Its about a 30 minute drive.

 

Thank you

 

Yeah, my back porch has all the USDM parts I took off, I have the seats that came with it, two sets of wheels, stock header/exhaust. Mostly trash now that I think about it.

Oh and...

 

my oil pan is still seeping a bit with the myhondahabit gasket. But, I had the car running yesterday, i let it run long enough for the fans to cycle on twice. the pan is still wet but there was nothing dripping or leaking....so i'm going to say screw it and just send it for now. I have to respray the lip because of a slight issue i created yesterday. after I install that, i just need to install the front bumper and adjust the fenders and hood.

 

Know what, myhondahabit gasket is seeping too. I'm going to drive the shit out of it and retorque and see what happens. I really don't want to drop the header, trans stiffener etc, and do that again.

And it's a new P72 Mugen pan, gasket, and stud kit too.

 

is this where i get to poke fun that my K has the correct orientation of intake/exhaust

 

Thats almost enough reason to go K series right there lol

 

ha down the never ending rabbit hole at that point

 

If I drop the pan I’m going back to an OEM gasket.

 

Here is the luck i'm having with my oil pan gasket.



I'm going to run it like this for this year and then replace the gasket again this winter.

I drove the car last week to sort out things from it sititng all winter. There was a slight hesitation issue under 2500 RPM, almost felt like the difference when you turn the ac on and off while driving. I think i have it narrowed down to possibly a bad O2 sensor, the car seems to be stuck in open loop.

 

yuck. it hesitates all the time under that rpm? or while warming up?

 

hesitates all the time under that rpm. I also disconnected my a/f gauge because that gauge's connection gave me some problems when i initially got the car back on the road. hopefully tonight i can take the car for a spin. i need to watch how much/where i drive the car, its way out of inspection....and with the new windshield it is inspection stickerless lol. When i had the car running and hooked up to my scanner, it said OL mode, CL not ready. And when i did a sensor test, bank 1 sensor 1 was giving out zero readings. I ordered a new O2 sensor today as a precaution.

 

I need a scanner, I'm in limp mode, won't rev past 3500. What scanner do you have?

 

Its a cheapy from ebay, i cant remember the brand name but i wanna say it was like $40? i'll go through my history and see if i can find the make of it.

 

i couldnt find where i got it on ebay, but i took a picture of it last night. And this is why i think my car is stuck in open loop and sensor 1 is no good.



Sensor 1 test (scanner has an oxygen sensor test function)


Sensor 2 test

 

its probably the sensor heater loop that is messed up

 

Such a pain, i would have like the sensor to last longer than 6K miles lol. But, then again i might have damaged it somehow removing and reinstalling the header. I left the sensor in the header when i removed it to change the pan gasket.

 

Cool, I was looking around. I think I'll pick up an OTC scanner from Oreilly's
