chris r Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Dropped head off so a appropriately sized hole can be made for a cap screw. I've committed and am now going coil on plug. My tuner had the conversion board in stock so that's fitted to the ecu as well as pwm boost control. Pretty sweet what can be done with a 20+ year old honda ecu for not a lot of of money. When zebra/pick a part open again I'll go raid a later model civic for a rocket cover and coils. It'll help tidy up the bay a bit too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chris r Posted May 9, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2020 Honda shuttle awd sharn time. Mine is a top spec intrac model which meant it came out with abs and a rear viscous lsd. The non intrac and non abs beagle models came with a viscous coupler in the drive shaft and a open rear diff. The intrac has a clutched input on the diff snout (similar to the crv & orthia dual pump system). When the abs is engaged the abs computer will disengage the rear drive by powering up the solenoid attached to the clutch. Lsd on the right and normal on the left This means the intrac gearboxes and transfer cases do not have the provision to manually disengage 4wd Hard to tell but intrac on the right and 'normal' on the left you can see the casting boss on the right hand gearbox And yes I'm a hoarder and have three spare gear boxes. When I started playing with shuttles they were just shitty family wagons and weren't cool so I had quite a few and hoarded bits I managed to strip a thread in a front cv when I first had it and was running rwd for a while and it handled all 120 stock hp okay. Just felt a bit like a slipping clutch. Here's 18 year old me doing some shitty honda 0s My name is Chris and I have a problem. My barry shelf isn't liking three gearboxes 10 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted May 14, 2020 Author Share Posted May 14, 2020 So I was one of those sad sacks who went to zebra/pick a part as soon as they opened. Zebra delivered a later model rocker cover and coilpacks. should tidy stuff up heaps. I'll trim some stuff off, get my mate to weld a AN fitting on and weld up the dipstick hole Heres a bonus barry photo (fuck you photobucket) from about 2010. Yes I had have a problem 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Had a exciting delivery today. I've got a few extra outputs and inputs to play with so I can use it to control rear diff disengagement clutch or extra fans or shift lights etc. extra goodies as I said before are Bluetooth data logging, coil on plug conversion, pwm boost control. So with the stock chipped ecu I get most of the features (everything I want for this build) for half the cost of a entry level link or haltech 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because dohc vtec yo! Pretty sure I saw your old one pop up on Facebook the other day! One of my $200 shuttles is still. Kicking around, it's been resprayed but (surprisingly) still running. It sat for years the I chucked a rangi turbo kit on it And I'm too much of a piner to sell mine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DB8-TypeR Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I didn't sell it for much, $4600 or something. Did it pop up for sale? Apparently blew a headgasket after Damien sold it. And would have some rust requiring attention by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember if it was for sale or was in a photo with soneone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 So my sinco kit arrived today. Looks damn good. I'm thinking I probably should have ordered the next size up piping as I'll need to get creative to fill in the gaps with the factory oval ports on the Honda head. But then again the flange for the turbo is fairly small The collector is a work of art though. Pity I'm going to ruin it with my mig lol 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Motors assembled now thanks to waer for fixing the helicoil that ger messed up. Rocker cover for the coils is getting some - 10 fittings welded on for the breathees Dropped the flywheel off to sterling to get skimmed. Nah m8 it's broken. I don't remember dropping it at any point, wonder when it happened, it's been balanced too which is annoying. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted September 26, 2020 Author Share Posted September 26, 2020 I'm a shit cunt and actually need to drive my vehicles instead of ignoring them and leaving them sitting Thankfully the tank isn't as rusty as the crx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Does the spigot bearing press in against a step? Looks like someone might have got a bit over enthusiastic with the hammer and punch or the press 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted September 28, 2020 Author Share Posted September 28, 2020 I think there is a step but from memory it's to stop it being pressed into the crank. I'll have to have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris r Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 Yup fuel filter is blocked So, I was looking at the clutch I had made by auto clutch years ago and it appears to be a stock disc with uprated pressure plate. I'm a bit disappointed as I told him the power levels I was aiming for. (another 4wd turbo honda got a similar thing and was slipping on less power). Will order one through work once I've measured everything up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Sold some wheels and put my buddyclubs back on. After lots of head scratching and measuring we had a clutch in stock at work. Splines are the same as a later model 2wd gearbag. I'll need to order the correct release bearing Got some pads and a fuel reg too 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Not a hoarder honest... Dropped my gearbag collection off to the gearbox guy. Rough plan is to figure out the best bits, convert from taper bearings to ball bearings for the main shaft so it'll be a bit stronger and handle the boost a bit better. The diff was just in the tray because clearing out my shed and moving stuff to the lockup. Got yarning and he'll see if he can figure out the input clutch or assembly on the diff to upgrade it a bit. I like the idea of the intrac diff as it had a solenoid so I can electronically disengage 4wd for handbrake slides and skids to troll people. I think we'll use the intrac gearbox without 4wd selector as it's a shaft and no hub or mechanism to break 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chris r Posted November 24, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2020 The barry in me is triggered. Wagovan is a trim level It's been a year plus in the making for this diff. Pre orders getting snaked, covid etc etc. But it's finally here 11 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
