[SQ is the SQUAD]

i decided to throw up my msd box today. i unhooked the black box. hopefully i wont need this anymore. i got a few more things i need to eliminate from the engine bay this week before i get my manifold welded and mounted

[gfrg88]

so you removed all of the black box or what?? how?? isnt there a CEL coming on now??

[SQ is the SQUAD]

the car is not currently in use. the black box is still hooked up the the vaccume lines just unplugged. i am trtying to figure out how i can get rid of it all together

hey swap file, how much will you chagre me to mod a distributor?

[gfrg88]

justin was selling me a whole obd1 conversion kit, with everything needed to just bolt it all up for me a while ago, he said he was going to start making kits for everyone but dont know if hes still doing it....

[newaccorddriver]

id pay for one if he was selling them

[Legend_master]

I am not sure how close the OBD-0 G1 CRX's distributors are to ours (i know they are vacuum advanced like the 3g accord), but they make a plate to allow an OBD-1 distributor to bolt onto the stock location with no cutting.

Adapter plate


I emailed them and I am waiting for a reply.

i found 2 distributors in my basement but i am not sure what they are from. they are either from a soch civic or gsr. one had the white plugs the other had grey plugs. the one with the white plugs looks like it might of been internal coil. i tihnk i rember taking a coil out of it. once imageshack finished there update, i can host the pics

this is the reply I got from that company

I have a 1986 Honda Accord with the 2.0L PGMFI motor. I was wondering if this plate will work for that application. If not would you be willing to make one that does, I might be able to even get a group buy going for the right price over at www.3geez.com .

Thanks

Does the accord engine have anything in common with the 85-87 Civic Si engine? If they share a distributor, then in theory they will share the same adapter plate.

If it requires development, I will need a head, a current distributor, the desired distributor, and a commitment for 5 units @ $300 each.

Thanks,
Dave

they must be crazy. for $300 the better be making a wholenew distributor that will blow me

[gfrg88]

so that would be just to bolt up the distributor right?? what about wiring??

I am working with rywire to build a sub harness that allows for an OBD-1 ECU and has a piggy-back wire that runs into the engine-bay and plugs to an OBD-1 Dizzy. They will be about 110.00 to 150.00 a piece.

does it matter? for $300 id rather try out megasquirt/EDIS and bug the hell out of elijah if it doesnt work like it should

boomslang quoted me 150 for a custom harness for the accords, we can probably hard wire the distributors ourselves though

There is always the Prelude dizzy. They just suck and don't sit the right angle on the head. I will be looking around for something similar to that adapter and I am going to check out and see if the G1 CRX distributor is the same as our cars then the price should be cheaper.

[SQ is the SQUAD]

how much are they selling there 1g crx dizzy adapter for

[Legend_master]

I am not sure, but I need to check on the similarities of the CRX and the Accord before I even try that rout.

[gfrg88]

thats one of the problems with our cars, a lot of the guys want things to be cheap, and im not saying thats cheap cause that is a lot but we have to deal with what we can get, but then again thats just what i think

3 bills is kinda expensive, but maybe we can find something else that will work. It's just going to take time

[carotman]

Well they sell a "Drive Key Adapter". Anyone could make their own plate and just use this drive key adapter so the dizzy stays in place.

[guaynabo89]

300 is way to steep for a piece of machined aluminum. Id say maybe about 150 or so for a piece like that but 300 is way to much.

Plus youd still need an adapter to lengthen the dis key to meet the camshaft.

As carotman explained, maybe we can get just the key and make our own plate .

[Kabuki]

Or put a longer shaft in the distrubutor. It's possible that we could mod a shaft from one of the LXi dizzies and install it in a 4G housing.

[bobafett]

for that matter it might not be too bad to have someone CNC a dizzy key spacer out of 1"-1.25" aluminum rod. one could have the added bonus of rekeying it to any new orientation, so you could mount the distributor any way it fits best.

but this means you have the dizzy mounting plate adapter which costs a good chunk of change, and also that you have the little extender peice. maybe I will reconsider a tunable odb1 setup afterall...
