well i started my 90 fb today with a 92 dohc motor in it. The engine sounds good but i didnt have the intake piping hooked up so it didnt idle very good or wouldnt rev very high. I noticed in the swap faq it says i NEED the dohc coil, which i havent replaced, i used the sohc one for now and i checked my ngk plugs after i ran it for about 5 minutes and they were all very black. Well at least i know the engine doesnt knock or anything , but i'm going to replace that coil today with the dohc one and try to find some intake piping.

 

good luck man and congrats on getting it all swapped in

 

fun swap wasn't it........ i did that swap before a automatic E to a standard DE. congrats on the swap

 

all im waiting for is a dohc coil and an ebay intake and a flat changed and she's on the street. It'll be another week before the intake comes in. Waiting sucks

 

good deal keep us updated cause my e is on the last leg and i think soon I might get a 95 de off a friend.

 

dude take advantage of not living in cali and get a rb20det, im going for it. SMOG wont be and issue I know some people now, so I cant wait.

oh i am definitely planning on getting the rb25, its just that i still need to save a lil more before i can make that purchase and in the meantime i couldnt pass up a ka24de motorset with tranny and computer, maf, coil for 100 bucks. With this motor i just plan to make sure everything is running the way i want it to before i get the rb,, like brakes,, suspension setup, bushings, etc.. because mainly i was getting tired of seeing my 240 in my back yard not running


BTW, As of yesterday i started driving the dohc swapped 240 and it runs pretty good. I'm just waiting on an ebay intake so i can put the hood back on and take off the ghetto temporary intake i have setup (i couldnt close the hood with the filter sticking out so much). I think once i get the intake it'll fix most of the vacuum leaks i have and give me better throttle response, because when i give it alot of throttle in 1st sometimes it'll bog down and then go. But other than that the engine feels strong.

 

Woah dude for 100 I wouldnt pass it up either u got a hella good deal, nice to see u wanna do the rb swap, I guess ur shooting higher then me. I love telling people im putting a smaller engine with more cylinders inmy car lol.
