The summary of the article looks like an "Advertorial" for JDM. I suspect either they do enough advertising with Autospeed to get it for free, or just provide stories (ever tried to write enough stories to fill a magazine!) Good story, and seems to suggest that JDM will get you a T2 any ti...

I assume you are suggesting:
6PM Sydney, Melbourne & Brisbanne
5:30PM Adelaide & Darwin (anyone up there?)
4:00PM Perth

Good idea. I'll tryto get on line then.

Doggystyle, the computer doesn't manage fuel pressure in the CityTurbo engine set up.  There is a continuous high pressure fuel supply that goes pump / fuel line / filter / main injector fuel rail / CVCC injector fuel head / pressure relief valve (which has a manifold vacuum / boost input) and then ...

We have a turbo labelled VG2, RHB510 surplus to our needs. It used to be on Charle's green Civic / City prior to his pulling it down for rebuild. In the re-build (now that CT and I own it) we put in a Garrett GT17 that Charles had sourced, so the RHB is surplus. It seems to spin OK, although not as ...

CT & I have a OEM turbo that would go with David's engine for anyone that is interested. Price negotiable, its a bit sticky in rotation - probably some polymerised oil in the bearings - and has a reluctant waste gate. In short, needs a re-build, but that shouldn't be too hard. Can even have it d...

Have a look at my response to "Engine Diagrams" in this forum.

As an old physicist .. seems to me that the key reason you need more pressure on all injectors (which is what I would think) is that the air pressure inside the throttle body will be high under open throttle high boost. Fuel flow through the injector is a function of the pressure drop across the inj...

If you really want full detail, you can gather it from a few sources: 1)The CVCC basics are shown in the Honda Civic CVCC 1980 aftermarket manual put out by Haynes. (You can also see a certain amount in the diagrams at that great Japanese web site) While the Civic manual is a Civic not City, Honda j...

Crooky, from our experience with vacuum plumbing and such, I would recommend keeping that hose. Check the size of the fitting that goes into the top of the rocker cover, and get a fuel line that has an internal diameter to fit - probably around quarter inch, from memory. It pulls quite a bit of air ...

We (CT & I ) are in Adelaide, and have a 1976 Civic with City Turbo engine Balanced crank, flowed head, all recently re-built. Garret GT17 turbo (such as on a recent Saab) running into a custom dump pipe. Intercooler mounted in left side of front, heavy duty radiator in right. Wide mag wheels Up...

On Civic - City conversion the engine steady bar is  a hybrid, with firewall end standard, and shortened. At the engine end, it is joined to a pair of Y or wishbone shaped pieces, that mount on two areas of the gearbox / block area. I'll try to post a picture in the next few days showing it in our c...

Thanks PGNUTA, but I found the issue - the misaligned throttle plate. We have a nice distributor with intact diaphrams, which was why I was very puzzled at the subtle air leak.

Sorry, didn't see your post before. The dump pipe was from the original exhaust manifold / turbo combo that Charles had - not sure if a I or II.

You've managed to fix?

Yo DR86 Would have thought that if the crank angle sensor wasn't working, the beast just wouldn't run. As I understand it, crank angle sensor is where the injector timing pulses come from, no crank angle sense signal, no firing of the fuel injector. So unlikely to be a crank angle sensor problem. Ma...
