really?? where at? i will def send the next person i know that needs it done that direction. mine cost me 400 + in parts from Kudos in the first place. belt (gates), water pump, tensioner, pulley, cam and main seals. no oil pump seal.but if it dont leak dont touch it imo.

was quoted locally, between $1500 and $2000....lol. nooo ty. hence doing it myself. but for $800 i would have contemplated letting someone else do it.

Clicky here my good friend

sweet. thats a good price. really not worth doing it yourself for that. i know where im going next time i need any work done on my boat. :thumbsup:

A full 100k service might set you back $1500-$2000 depending on the oils/parts used but certainly not for a belt and water pump change. $400 is pretty cheap for timing kit and water pump, I don't know if Kudos would still be able to do those prices as all the water pumps went up in price aftermarket and they are still a lot dearer genuine. The timing kits are still the same as they always were.

true true. i guess i did do oil and filter and air cleaner, and cleaned up the engine a bit and and and and, at the same time. so it would all add up in the long run.

Ahh, hasnt even been a week since rego and i've already gotten a not so random licence check where they don't actually check the licence but look for a turbo. :ermm:

record is 3 times in one week :down:

I got stopped all the time in my DC5 Integra. Yet to be stopped in my 34...

Yet to be pulled over, or even had a second look. Could be due to when and where i drive, but i think its mostly because the car's bog stock.

Still debating which way to go on the timing belt. Price for getting it done is good, but i wouldn't mind learning a bit and saving a little bit of money, but of course then there's the extra hassle.

    • Thanks, I checked from the back of the cluster and no reading there. I undid the connector and plugged in the wires directly to start from where I'm getting a reading: https://imgur.com/a/W8JI6Yr Weirdly enough when I tried to get a reading from the crimps that connect to the fuel pump assembly, I got nothing. Not sure what's my next step as I have admittedly limited knowledge with electricity. 
    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
