Big Vtec Distributor

[lanusin]

can use SM4, EK.. for VTEC distributor?? VTEC distributor come with 2 connector X 7 wire right. Some sm4, civic, EK model got same connector 2 conector X 7 wire but base is little bit different. Rotary head also same. My pren used taiwan made (rm280- new) but after 4-6 months kong again. 2 time already. half cut sell RM500... not new

 

[carnage]

can use sm4 distributor internal, i've done that already. sm4 dist cost
like rm200-250 even 300... price gone up already coz they know we bought
it & install into vtec dist... not sure whether the wiring's the same tho.
b16a i ask 2-3 mths ago RM350... in kl la tapi.

i thought in seberang perai chai leng park u can get it quite reasonable price?

 

[hattech-v]

just replace the coil... RM100-150.

 

[lanusin]

coil can get from spare part shop?? what a good news then. chai leng park also now sell it for rm480 wo.. even from 1/2 cut wo

 

[lanusin]

sm4, civic ek got same wiring which mean 2 connector which 1 set with 2 wire and 7 wire. wire colour also same. i think should be ok.

[off-topic : distributor for non vtec]

hmm....
need some help...
my civic distributor kong'ed today :( [1.6 non vtec, me516-, efi ]
the AAM technician test that the power is only up to distributor coil, from there to spark plug, no power...
tow my ride to Honda SC.. they quote rm1.9k for a new one...

guys, got any idea what actually might be the problem?
how much a new one actually cost, or 2nd hand in chop shop?
any alternatives to fit in other model distributor?

help~ ;__;

 

[shiroitenshi]

1.9K? Woah... killer.

 

[e-jump]

yeah :(
forking out 1.9k is the last i would ever do..
anyone knows what my engine can fit other model/engine distributor?

 

[shiroitenshi]

like hattech said.. it's repairable depending on damage. Go that route if budget concerns abound!

 

[e-jump]

but the coil was working (tested with mentol)
i doubt all the 4 cable kong'ed O__o" (test with screwdriver, nothing)
any other possibility whats the prob?

1.9k is insane

**car already at Honda SC >__<

 

[shiroitenshi]

possibly the rotor or contacts worn already.. thus no contact = no spark.

Dunno for sure, since you didn't post pictures.

 

[e-jump]

yeah, i forgot to snap pics...
but i do remember that the mechanic did sand-paper the contacts
since the car is already there, the option i have left are searching for cheap replacement or resort to their 1.9k..

in garage sale, theres someone letting go carparts for SO4 non-vtec engine, can fit?

forking out 1.9k is the last thing i would do

 

[SimonsayZ]

e-jump, have you tried chop shops yet? Might as well get one from them, better than forking out 1.9k... :X-:

 

[e-jump]

yeah, today i will start my quest to find the particular part..
forkin out 1.9k is insane for a mere thing

*i guess OP wont mind i hijack the thread :p

--------------

woot, prob solved with used distributor..
charged around rm400++ ..
oh well, saved me 1.5K :p
