    3 wire iacv to 2 wire without swapping manifolds (DIY)

    For the past 2 months my car has had the following symptoms: surging, 1500 to 2000 rpm hesitation, heavy engine braking when not on the gas ( it’s a manual) and just poor drivability. People on the internet including some big name companies say you have to repin this and swap manifolds to use...

    How to change accessory belt (without power steering)

    I didn’t see a write up and I know it’s hella noob but someone might benefit from this. Especially since if there was a write up, photo bucket would have killed it. So anyways I no longer have power steering. If you have a ps pump it might not be a bad idea to change these belts at the same...

    Hesitation issue

    Ok so most of you guys know I’m heading to Florida in a week. It’s a thousand mile drive and I can’t figure out what’s going on with the car. So for anyone who doesn’t know it’s a cg6 with an f20b and a chipped p28 with iacv disabled. Recently it started hesitating at about 1500 to 2000 rpm. I...

    So I might be trading Frankenstein, thoughts?

    Looking at a Saab 9-3 turbo. Met the dude and he took me on a test drive. Car felt solid and I like the way it looks. It’s a 2.0 turbo so nothing is lost as far as engines go except maybe revs. My f20b revs to 8200 while this revs to like 7000. After market is the same for both cars. Saab isn’t...

    Help requested

    So I drove my F20b cg6 the other day to see if it actually drove. Idled super low and had a 4k rev limit. Im assuming the idle was low because the ECU is a chipped p28 and I had the IACV disabled. Blocked that off and all was ok. I recently redid my harness and plugged the ECU back into the...

    My H23a1 failure analysis

    I wanted to start a thread for the H I had that recently exploded on my way to work. Some things I found while taking the engine apart. First the cam journal on number 2 piston had deep scoring. So deep in fact it made a hole in the aluminum. My guess is when the mechanic who adjusted my valves...

    No power to main relay

    Hey guys, swap is coming to an end. Exhaust is done, engine is in. I just can’t get the main relay to send voltage to the pump. When I try to ground the relay the lights dim severely and for some reason the ground wire from the main relay has battery voltage. I know the relay is good because...

    What is this sensor acronym?

    So my F20b conversion harness is nearly complete. The only things that arent hooked up are o2 which is easy and TPS. I cant find the pin for it on the PCB side. Im using a chipped P28. Basically Ive been using the pinout listed below and the only pin that makes sense is the TH Angle pin. Does...

    Is there no option for a chatbox on the main page?

    Just wondering if the server host just doesnt have this as an option or if the owners just havent incorporated it yet. I feel like it would make the site 100% busier.

    Trade: I still have this stupid F23a manual transmission

    This is still around in my attic if anyone wants it. I think youll have to come pick it up because freight would kill you. If you want to trade me some coilovers or some suspension parts that would be cool also. Just want to get rid of it before I move next month. There is absolutely nothing...

    Please stay away from this

    I ordered a Yonaka plug and play harness off amazon. It was advertised as plug and play and I bit the bullet and paid 50 dollars for this harness. It was wired completely wrong. Not to mention when I went to depin it all the wires came right out of the pins leaving me with a 50 dollar piece of...

    WTB or WTT

    I am looking for OEM mounts that arent trashed. I can trade for some accord parts like the innovative black mounts I have or I can buy depending on the cost. F20b has me broke already but I want to use oem mounts before I put this motor in.

    Why this forum is king

    I know this is going to sound stupid but I need to vent. I am part of another un named forum and recently had my post removed. I wanted everyone to know exactly what happened to my motor and what I was doing when it blew up. Was I going the speed limit? No I wasn’t. Do we all do the speed...

    Frankenstein's engine choice. You decide

    I can get another H23a1 or the F20b auto version which will mate up fine to my ms24 manual trans. Only difference between the manual and auto f20b is 20 hp from cams and throttle body. So, H23a1 is a great motor but in my opinion the downfalls are the FRM sleeves. This motor pulled my car pretty...

    Need help, on the fence

    I recently picked up a 14 inch 4k QHD+ razer blade stealth for 200 bucks from a friend. I got an offer for 750 bucks to ship it to someone in jersey. They do however go for like 900 on ebay and 2600 for a new one on amazon. This money would give me plenty to fix up frankenstein and I would have...

    Just wondering

    Who runs the site. I heard the owners are hardly active and don't sign on. Do we basically run the sites ourselves? I know the mods do a good job of keeping everything relevant and in its proper category but who's keeping the site up?

    Consensus Question

    So recently I put in a new H23a1 in my CG. Yesterday while going to work, it threw a rod. This motor had less than 20k on it. I literally did an oil change before work. When I got it all the seals were leaking on the timing side. They were all aftermarket so I replaced them all with OEM seals...

    6000 rpm idle surge

    So after successfully transplanting the h23 motor in frankenstein I managed to finally after a week get it started. Now when I start the car the rpm surges from 650 to 6,000 rpm over and over. It's almost as if the tps is bad. I've checked the following: Briefly checked for vacuum leaks...

    H23a1 swap help 99 accord

    Ok so did an h23a1 swap into the cg6. Everything was installed and put together and when I went to fire it up there was no spark. I verified this by checking the coil wire that goes to the dizzy when cranking. The h23a1 has an external coil and the crank, cam and tdc sensors built into the dizzy...

    FS: F23a manual trans for sale

    Perfectly working f23a manual transmission. Asking 250 obo. Pickup advised as shipping would kill. I can meet you halfway within reason. This was paired with my old motor before I spun a bearing. I have an h23 going in so I have no use for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
