#525311 Fs:1987 Crx Si With Integra D16
Posted by k24 rd6 on 29 July 2011 - 08:34 PM in FS
I originally bought this as a project but I have 3 other project cars and am out of space.
1987 CRX SI with an 1987 Integra d16 engine. Body is in good condition but has a few cracks in the plastic and clear coat is peeling. Interior is very clean.
The bad, the engine smokes sometimes but drives fine. Because of this I cannot guarantee it will pass smog so I am selling it as a non running parts car. $1000

#522534 Honda Homelink Retrofit
Posted by k24 rd6 on 05 June 2011 - 10:22 PM in General Posts
The switch panel set in place
The main board mounted up and switch panel temporarily held in place until final paint. It will be glued in after paint is finished
Installed and programmed.
Now I just need to let it shrink up for a while before priming and painting
#522533 Honda Homelink Retrofit
Posted by k24 rd6 on 05 June 2011 - 10:20 PM in General Posts
mold it in somewhere. I wanted an easy to replace piece so I decided on the top of the steering column cover
It started out looking like this
It is held together at two melting spots on the back side. To get apart just grind the melting off
After it is disassembled it will look like this
The big square in the middle houses the homelink and needs to cut out.
To make it easier and smaller to deal with, the ribbon cable that connects the switches to main board is removed. Wires are soldered to extend the main board so it can be mounted far away
Since the main board will mounted far away the square housing is cut down to bare minimum
The cover needs to be cut out to flush the homelink trim piece. I Drilled out the cover since it quicker than cutting and filed smooth
Set the homelink trim piece in and glue it in

It took about 3 hrs to mount the display but that is with wood. It would have been quicker with metal. The wiring harness is how it was in my accord, just plugged it into radio harness to test. It will take a couple days to rewire cleanly
No its not my dd.
Yes, I like to play with wiring very much

#522354 Variable Intermittent Wipers Conversion
Posted by k24 rd6 on 04 June 2011 - 12:42 AM in General Posts
A leading edge timer could be used to run the motor continually for a specified time when the wiper is first switched on before switching over to intermittent.

the 2206 has about a 5 sec pause. I don't how you would get a wiper to sweep for several minutes and then go to intermittent

Thanks for sharing.
It is very close to the idea that I've been obsessing over, which is to have an intermittent feature on my hatches' rear window wiper, instead of the constant "go" that's standard on there now. Do you think I may just simply "borrow" some other car's relay circuitry perhaps, and install it somewhere in the electrical path of my car's rear wiper feature?
You can use another mitsuba 2206 relay that the front uses. The ground for the motor would go through the relay bypassing the on/off switch. Rewire the on/off switch to 12v to power the relay. Remove the resistor from the relay and wire up a 100k ohm pot. About 2 hrs work. If you got both connector sides for the wiper switch you could make a 't' harness that connects the relay. All the wires you need are at the switch.

I made a quick video of it in action. I turned the camera sideways but I don't have anything to edit back to normal with. So in other words, warning, it will be sideways.

also. Since the CRX is so old, the intermittent function is not a part of the ICU. It is its own self contained relay which actually
makes it quite simple to modify the timing.
Opening up the intermittent relay finds a 56k ohm resistor and a 33 uf cap for timing. This gives around a 5 second intermittent
time. I removed the resistor and wired up a 50k ohm potentiometer and presto I had 0-4 second timing. If I used a 100k, it ranges
from 0 back to stock timing.
So basically by removing a resistor and soldering a couple wires to where the resistor was and running them to a pot gives
Variable speed intermittent wipers. Adjustment ranging from the stock speed of around 5 seconds to 0 seconds.
Stock wiper relay
Wire soldered to where timing resistor used to be
I actually wanted to increase the the time as well as shorten the time. This requires changing the capacitor. The stock capacitor
is a 33uf so I picked up a few different sizes to test with. I started with a 10uf which gave me a a very short max time of about
2-2.5 seconds. Next was a 63uf, it was actually quite good with a max time of around 9 second. and a good range of adjustment.
Finally I tried a 100uf, it gave a super long max time but the short time adjustment was minimal. I decided on the 63uf and soldered it up.
Cap and resistor removed
New cap soldered in
Finished with switch connector
Now I could have simply wired up a pot and been done but that is not me. I need to have it on the wiper stalk like stock. I am in
planning on another mod which requires a 3 contact slip ring which does not attach to the crx combination switch. I decided to
replace the crx combo switch with one from an 88 Integra. It bolts right on and requires remapping of the connectors and
reconnecting the turn signal wires.
With either the crx or Integra combo switch, the stalk angle is very shallow compared to the cars that use airbags. Unfortunately
all the variable wiper stalks come on airbag cars. On other cars that are an in between stalk depth like a 90-93 Integra/accord, I
could just do a little grinding on the actual arm and get pretty close to stock. This was not the case in the crx. I decided to
keep the 88 Integra arm and remove the rear wiper controls from it. I never use the rear wiper and it will be shaved when the car
gets repainted anyway. I placed the potentiometer from an adjustable switch where the rear controls once were.
It is actually fairly simple to swap. The hard part is to get the pin out that holds the end cap on. Once that is off there is an
e clip holding the pot nob and spacer. The pot will be able to slide off and there will be two screws to remove holding the center
section. The stock teg switch is very similar to take apart. I transferred the center section, pot, and knobs from the adjustable
arm to the stock teg arm.

On 98 connector and newer there is variable dimming. You have two wires , a red/black wire to supply 12v when lights are on, and a red wire which is the dimmer
