Since this is the first time its happened 2 me, which battery brand/type would you guys reccomend. Price listing would be handy aswell.

Any opinions welcome.

Just changed over from R33 SII standard Japanese battery.

Purchased ACDelco model S55B241 (also sold as CIVIC NS60LMF) $159.00 May get cheaper eg on the Web

430 Cold Crank Amps (Civic rates their <same> battery at 450 CCA - go figure)

Dimensions: L238 x W129 x H227 mm

Weight: 14.7Kg

Most importantly - it fits in the R33 SII rear parcel shelf.

Need to remove the original battery tray as this battery is taller and wider than the original yet it fits in the total battery space well with both standard neg & pos battery leads just reaching and just clears the left rear speaker.

I include this post as I coudn't locate specific manufacturer/model info for R33 battery when searching this forum.

:ermm:

:P

Thanks very much for posting this information up.

But just to adjust your message a little - the ACDelco Number is S55B24L

And yes there is no problems fitting into rear shelf of an R33 GTS-T or GTR. Good Brand quailty Battery.

I installed an Optima Yellow-top into my R32 GTR, MUCH better than many other batteries I have tried, and it's a dry-cell battery as well, so it can be mounted in any angle.

Also, it's smaller than the stock battery, but has spacers to give the base 1.5 inches lift to bring it back to the normal height and size.

650 CCA from the battery, and I have had mine on for hours on end with the stereo pumping, gone to crank it, and it's like I had just shut it off to refuel, cranks without an issue.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
