JESUS bless man. Thanks for not time lapsing. This is very helpful. Bout to do mine today.
Glad it could help you out
So when you drop the rack with the subframe the only thing you had to do was loosen the clamping joint from the column and it all comes down with it? Is there anything done to keep the actual rack from turning or moving? I’m doing a full over haul for boost so I wanna do it how you did as long as it’s not a task just to keep stuff aligned.
The rack is bolted to the sub frame. Just have to disconnect it from the joint. Comes down with the sub frame
Before you take anything off. Make sure the wheels are straight. I took painters tape to hold the steering wheel in place. Just be mindful not to move anything steering wise
@@bricasata alright sweet.!
Hey bro just wanted to say thanks for your video. Help me remove my subframe and trans all by myself. 💪🏼
That's what's up. Glad it helped you out.
Cam you replace a oil pan with put dropping the subframe ?
From what I remember you have to drop the subframe to get the oil pan out and reach all the bolts
Hey man how long would you say it takes to drop the subframe? And any tips for realigning it when installing it.
If you're familiar with taking apart the front suspension. You can drop the subframe in less than a hour.
I use the 17mm bolts on either side of the subframe as a reference point when lining it back up. Just loosen the 17 on either enough to slide on and off the tab it lines up with.
b00sted_brian wow thanks for the quick reply. Yea I’m pretty familiar with the si. Have air tools too. The part I’m stressing about is reinstalling the subframe as I’ve heard it can be a nightmare. Especially since I’m installing rigid collars for the subframe bolts. Thanks for getting back.
I do it by myself with 2 jacks and a creeper to drop the subframe on so I can move it around. It's not as bad as folks make it sound.
b00sted_brian hell yea thanks. I have an extra set of hands helping too so shouldn’t be too bad. Thanks man.
Does the steering rack connect/ disconnect fairly easy to the rack or ia it better to leave it hanging
It was easier for me to just unhook the steering joint and drop it attached to the subframe
I have to do this job on my 2015 honda civic with cvt trans. How to you support the engine and trans after the subframe is out?
You still have the passenger and trans mount holding it up. You can always put a jack under the oil pan with a block of wood too
Hey! To take off the subframe did you take off the bottom motor mount
Yes rear mount has to be removed
Thats a nice setup! I was thinking about putting a turbo in my 2012 si. Any recommendations for turbo kits? My first DIY too so any tips would be appreciated.
Mak speed or PRL. The Mak speed will be the more complete kit of the two.
@@bricasata dope what do you think about a SC for a civic?
Depends on what your power goal is.
@@bricasata i daily drive my civic a lot. want something that could give my driving experience more fun but less maintenance in the long run.
Stick with all motor bolt on then
Do you know if I can cut and remove the old air intake. The thing is ridiculous and I want something simpler.
What part of the intake are you referring too?
@@bricasata The plastic piece that goes under the frame. I think it’s the air intake that goes up to the filter box
You don't have to cut it. It can be removed. Couple 10mm's and some plastic clips from what I remember. Been years since to took all that off
would you recommend and oem clutch kit or do the clutch master fx100 kit with flywheel that is designed to be used without flashpro? all stock 12 SI
If you have the budget for the clutch upgrade I'd go that route. Anything is better than stock. Lol
So you gotta drop the sub frame to get to the trans?
What type of clutch and flywheel do you recommend? I have to do mine soon
Yes sun frame has to be dropped. Clutch depends on the power level you plan to make and budget
What if the bolts are really hard to get out
fire power
Did you take out susbensio
Suspension is just unbolted from subframe. It still remains in the car. Use a penetrating oil on stuck bolts
Is this the same for my 2012 civic? 😊
It’s a 2012 civic si sedan
Yeah process is the same for 12-15
Hello were you from what state need some help
Dont you have to unbolt part of the lower control arm.
Acia da wolf that’s more work. Easier to just take the 2 bolts and nut off so the lower ball joint bracket can separate. Lca stays on with the subframe.
@@bricasata thanks man your vids have been a huge help. I'm trying the kmod sidewinder top mount setup so well se how it goes
If you haven’t ordered it yet. You can get it from Harry sparks. The sidewinder for the z7 head is just looks. It doesn’t add any power
@@bricasata yeah I like the looks also I want to be able to do it without dropping the subframe as I just did that for my new clutch. I also did a bunch of heat reflection tape while I was down there so I should not have to take it off again unless my clutch goes. It's also the same price so why not🤷♂️
I got you. Make sure you get a blanket for the turbo. And keep in mind the ecu and brake MC will be close to the hot side of the turbo. So prep for that
guys i have a quick question. in 1:10 in that position you see a bolt right next to the tie rod. that bolt i have is missing on the top bc there was two bolts but mine is missing that goes straight up:/. anybody knows a part number for that specific bolt ? i have my guesses but i just wanna be confident and sure. thnx guys.
Look at a online Honda parts store. Like majestic Honda parts. They will have break down diagrams which can tell you bolt sizes and thread pitch
Where did you get that mugen bumper?
keith oraciona I bought it used locally. But the person I bought it from got it at fkxracing
Looks clean
Does it need any drilling when installing ?
No sir. Bolts up like factory bumper.
Nice
Daren Danan thanks man. I’m working on it.
Do you have any issues after you put back like miss fire from engine
Carlos Lopez no sir. What’s going on with your car? Maybe we can figure it out.
b00sted_brian yes i did new clutch. And after I was. Working good and I take yo the road test and it has. Check engine on a star to loss power and it some like junk no go more on 20 milles
Do you have any idea what can I do to fix this issue
Factory clutch and flywheel or aftermarket with lighten flywheel?
b00sted_brian i got on eBay it’s got 4 🌟🌟🌟🌟
