Real cool cars Grease! Glad to seem them well taken care off.

 

Max is a really lucky kid, having his own clean Japanese classic, a garage to work on it with his father. Projects must be way to go for bonding and having good time with the family. Dreaming to have something similar one day.

 

Hope to see Max here as well and keep the 1G/3G tradition alive!

 

Drive safe!

If they also fit later models they would have shown up on the list of other models that they fit.  No later models appeared, sorry.

Yeah sadly they dont. Im still thinking about getting a set then maybe cut them to fit if I can get a good deal. Probably not all of them would fit but I belive I can make it work with some "custom tailoring" lol. 

 

Thanks for the repsonse.

i’d need to see pix or p/n’s. best to look up the honda websites for p/n’s. i have good luck using those p/n’s and searching ebay

apparently, it’s best to use the old green antifreeze. it’s made for our metallurgy (copper radiator and the bypass tube in the back of the engine). i had put in toyota red anti freeze for 1995-2005 cars, i noticed it was making my copper radiator shiny when i opened the cap. green this is for older US cars. i believe newer radiator fluid eats away at the copper/brass parts via electrolysis. people have a hard time sourcing that copper tube in the back of the engine

i’ve got some background in metallurgy, more in polymers. i’d source new/used housing/outlet lubes. chemical reaction and temperature stress under pressure is risk. not familiar w the material you are using

 

Thanks for replying. Yeah green coolant for aluminum seems to be the way, thats what hayness manual says atleast. Still looking up on the organic and inorganic coolant types theres a lot of discussions on them just like engine oil lol.

 

OEM Numbers for parts that I am talking about:

 

Coolant Neck / Outlet: 19315-PE0-010

 

Thermostat Housings: 19320-PE0-000 & 19311-PE0-000

 

Trying to upload the pics of mine before and after cleaning with a wire brush and sandpaper but forum just doesnt let me upload I dont know why. Imgur or Lightshot also does not accept eventhough the files are in JPEG.

 

I can send them through email or any other way you prefer.

I would go do a parts look up on a Honda parts site online.  You will see what other cars the part fits.  I did a quick search and it seems all of the 84-87 Civics and CRXs all shared the same radiator hoses, 1.3L and 1.5L here in the US.  Got to imagine it’s the same in Europe.

Yeah I know the hoses are usable on both 1.3L and 1.5L engines from 84-87. But the thing is there are no parted out 84-87 civics near me, only seen 2 other cars. 1st gen crx's never entered Turkey. Finding and importing from EU is really hard due to customs and expensive. That's why I asked about later generations. Some parts of EW's are usable with SOHC D series but not hoses afaik, later EW's became first D serires (EW4---->D14A4). Guess I'll bite the bullet and try the 4th gen hoses for D14 or ask around more for where I can get custom hoses. If anyone else knows please chime in. I use Amayama to check for OEM codes and compatibility by the way.

 

What about the damaged water neck and thermostat repair with polyester putty? Im still searching online for effects of antifreeze against polyester putty. Will that work or is there a more viable way to fix them? As I said I can send pictures of it but it doesnt let me post on the thread.

 

Thanks,

That’s odd.  Just post it in here.  May be because your so new but I have no clue.

Hello 

 

Sorry for not posting in a while, stuff got in way.

 

My friend is K-swaping his 92' EG Hatch and he is upgrading the whole brake system. Im in need of brakes as its not good and even had few close calls in when city driving, the pedal just randomly pops up and stiffens and you just lose the stopping power found that pumping the pedal helped a little but still not sure whats the reason for it. We removed EG's master cylinder to fit mine but patterns are diffrent on the booster (Non-si preludes are non existent in Turkey so cant get my hands on one). So I was thinking about just swapping the whole brake system to my car inorder to solve my random braking problems. 

 

Is it possible fit the brakes from an EG to 3G without welding/cutting as I dont have the tools, skills or money to afford. Thinking about changing it in garage would I require any special tools or stuff? Will the brake booster fit or should I only swap some parts like calipers and rotors? I do not know what parts would fit or not so looking forward to hear from you guys if you have any other ideas please chime in as well.

 

Also I am planning to swap the 2 fan half sized radiator from his EG. I took it home and cleaned the hoses it looks decent. The previous owner swapped the radiator from a random car here and ran the car with drinking water not anti freeze. Im not sure with its cooling power my temps just goes up and down most of the time, fan kicks when its too hot for my liking so I manually switch it on or off with a button. Car also leaked coolant when I first got it but a mechanic sealed it but I still have to check and top up the water after every ride.

 

I know that our cars are pretty much special when it comes to parts and stuff but is it possible to fit any parts (engine, transmission, suspension interior just anything) from EG's and EF's without much hassle? Those are the ones that we have here so I dont have any options.

 

Thanks for reading. Looking forward to hear from you.
