workshop manual

[pirate]

hi all, i need a full workshop manual for a t1, it needs to have all the torque settings and tuning settings as well as general parts info, any help here would be cool, thx  :) andy

If you find a book post it up on the site. They are so rare its not funny, I heard you could buy them from honda though, but at a huge cost.

All the info you need is actually in the info base http://www.cityturbo.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=FAQ

Cheers

Yeah I went looking for one. Only place I could find one (after trying uni's, librarys, numerous mechanics, internet etc) was at Honda. They said they could get me one so I was really excited.. until I found out it was $800.  :-/

[AnimaLector]

Maybe if everyone here in the site put in $20 for it we could get one scan it and then we'd be right forever... just a thought.

sounds like a good cause to donate to however will this manual be in english or japanese?turbo 1 or 2?or both? needs to be only accesable to those who payed eg password or the like no freeloaders hehe
ile chuck in!!!!!!!!

[Colza]

I would chuck in too. My Honda dealer has given me the contact details for a Japanese Manual translator. Im not sure how much it would cost but i can find out.

I have most of a T1/T2 manual here. It was copied for me by a friend of a friend of a friend who is an exporter in Japan. Im not sure where he managed to score it from but it is not complete. The engine section is missing and possibly others i don't know about, but there is some useful info, enough to have been very useful to me and Bigelboe and our fairly poor Japanese translation skills

Assuming we can get 20 people in on this, we would be looking at $40 + whatever it costs to get the translation done + photocopying to get it out to everyone. Putting it up online in a passworded section could work, but im not sure its worth the effort, hard copies are SO much more useful!

I will head back to my Honda dealer tomorrow and see what he can do us (he knows me quite well now, been in every working day last 2 weeks ::))

The issue is with the legality of putting a book like that up on the net.  They are out there in english already, just a matter of finding it.

What specific questions do you have Pirate?

[Colza]

I have it under fairly good authority that no Honda City Turbo manual was ever published in english. Hence the reason that no Honda dealer has the faintest idea what the F**K to do with one ::)

As the guys at my dealer said. One had never even heard of it and was shocked when we managed to find part listings for it, the other guy had seen 3 in the last 10 years.

EDIT:
LOL i have a dealer

EDIT EDIT:
And its your call cos its your site, and PGNUTA's call cos hes hosting it, but who the hell is gonna prosecute 20 guys over a manual thats 20 years old :-*

[turbocab]

hard copy sounds good then  ;D
engine section is the bit ime sure most people will be keen for, me especially!(the search continues)
my cousins boyfreind (who used to manage a honda dealership )tried to track one down for me when i first got the cab he also says there not avalible in english :'(
$800 is absurd though, its only a book surely we can do better than that
good luck +me still keen az

[Jacko]

Hmm I dont know TurboCab I searched high and low and the best I could do was Honda...
I have one more idea though, Ill talk to a guy I know who imports cars and Ill also send a few emails out to various importing companies (J spec, etc).

[turbocab]

dont get me wrong here jacko ime sure you searched a darn side harder than me and props to ya for the mission but $800 for a workshop manuel jeeeze

[Jacko]

Oh yeah I agree with you there its f***king outrageous!

[Henry]

Can't you just get the part No from the info-base and order one? Has the old one been tested yet? (I'm talking about the TW sensor here)

[Brendan]

I've emailed our mate over at http://www.pure.cc and he came back with this:

"The manual was sent to three Australians in the past.
To our regret, it is not possible to communicate afterwards.

The manual of "CITY TURBO,TURBO II,CABRIOLET" has only a
Japanese version.However, obtaining is difficult also
in Japan because it is becoming valuable.

I will send it to you as soon as it obtains it."

(mind the jap-english conversion)

[Colza]

Is that a recent email? Sounds promising
