Ef Hatch Project


BoostedAce

Recommended Posts

Over the next few months.......or years I will be throwing in the towel of the D15, 4-speed for a 4G63 Fwd swap. This is somthing I would love to do since I like Ef hatchs and also 4G63's. I will finish this project and will be doing it myself, minus some fab shops putting together some parts.

So I start out like this, I recieved this honda from my dads good friend that lives in florida for free. I did minor work on the body, the black plastic was very sun faded so I ended up repainting it. As of now it just has skunk2 struts and ground control coilovers.

As you can see the car has been lacking power for 21 years.

Tranny is out of a Gst with 80k, I might have to end up using a non turbo 4G63 tranny since they are not as big.

What did you do to repair the faded plastic?

 

I have a ride that I constantly have to armor all the plastic to temporary relieve the sun-bleaching.

 

Armor All dries plastic, so you aren't doing yourself any favors there.

 

Back to black.

I ended up using just spray paint, I did have about 6 coats on it, still looks good but starting to lighten up.

 

When you it get finished, you'll have a shit ton of fun. My buddy did this swap about 6yrs ago and I could get a hold of him and see if he still have the mounts, harness,misc parts from it.

Please do, I found the biggest problem I will have is axles and harness. Shifter linkage along with hydraulic clutch and mounts should not to be big of a problem. I will be making fmic piping mostly from scratch but I have odds and ends parts to work with.

 

That car looks clean! I hate modded Hondas mainly because so many people go at it wrong but when it's looking like that, that's when you got my respect.

I also feel the same way, thanks outside and inside will left alone.

 

This is basically going to be a 4g63 colt.

So I need drag radials lol.

So I guess slowmotion calls me and tells me they don't want to make my mounts? That is just insane they would let a paying customer walk like that. Not to mention all the other parts I was going to buy and have my exhaust made.

 

this is not unheard of.

cool project.I wouldn't use the n/a tranny though i tried that in my gst and exploded it pretty quick.

 

This, colt guys have nightmares with the n/a tranys and the stock colt tranys. Ask me how i know. Save yourself some time and money in the long run and buy a good turbo trans or a used shep.

 

 

 

Aslo let us know what you need done as far as the mounts go.
