Found a guy in wasilla that traded me the rt4wd parts for a 90dx hatch!

ive never had a hatch before but it seems like a good home for that turbo zc.

planning on a daily driver for now.......and it has a 4spd which should be good for boost!

    Turned the A/C and PS parts off the crank pulley

    Went through every electrical connection and applied dielectric grease, also put a little MMO in each cylinder and rolled the engine over since its been sitting for 2 years.

    good stuff. i like it.
  • JaudetteJaudette Wagonist
    Well, the hatch now has rt4wd hubs which don't accept dx axles, too bad I traded both my 4wd trans or I could swap the differential and keep the bigger axles.

    it must be an std model they have smaller hubs like a crx hf. a dx should have the bigger hubs like the rt4wd. unless canada dx is different not sure.
  • JaudetteJaudette Wagonist
    It is a Canadian model, I'll just swap in the smaller hubs for now, this is a weird car, it's a dx w/ a 4spd

    so this was a royal pain this weekend, not sure if it's because this is a Canadian car or a dpfi chassis but I had to rewire the entire "B" plug to the ecu. On the bright side Neptune connected right back up to the Moates demon after 5 years haha. The battery on the demon went dead and lost the tune so I'm starting over from scratch since my tunes are on the hard-drive that my harlot of an ex wife stole.

    Fabbed up some nice radiator mounts on the traction bar,

    and built this 4 relay block to control an exhaust cut-out, fan, switch maps function and an aux 12v supply for the wideband.

    Fitted the intercooler behind the bumper, it was a tight fit but it worked

    My good buddy tig welded a new elbow onto the intercooler, then welded some mounts to the chassis and bolted her up! Can't even tell this thing is boosted by looking at it, did I mention this is gonna be a sleeper?
