Project Blue-Civic-Hybrid 1975 CVCC Wagon

[Blue-Civic-Hybrid]

Well I dove into the carburetor yesterday and tried to see what the hell is going on with my fuel flooding issues. Now here are some pics of what I found.

I am using a spare carburetor as mock-up. When I took the top off the carburetor that is in my wagon, I only saw 1 fuel squirter like this, pointed to the front bowl part of the carburetor.

I placed a dual squirter in place like this one and I don't know if that is correct. Do our engines require both bowls to squirt fuel into them? of just the forward bowl? or just the rear bowl?

Here are some pics of the dual squirter and single squirters.

Check the float height.

Google float height for 32/36 weber or 5200 holley/weber.

Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, I will do that later today and see if my float height is correct and adjust it.

Just a mini update, I got my wagon delivered to my home in San Diego! Now just waiting on my household goods to arrive and I can begin wrenching on her in ernest!

Why a k20 from the UK, is it the price?

Why a k20 from the UK, is it the price?

A little backstory... I was stationed in the UK for a little over 2 years and while I was there, I bought an EP3 Civic Type-R (which is made in the UK) and used that as my daily driver/ racecar while I was there. Raced the heck out that car at Castle Combe (UK), the Nurburgring (Germany) and my favorite track, SPA-FrancorChamps in Belgium. When it was time to rotate back to the states, I pulled the motor/transmission/ Hondata 4 ECU, crated it up and had it shipped back for free.

Originally this engine was supposed to go into my 1995 Civic Coupe to replace my trusty supercharged B18C1. Then I bought a 1982 VW diesel MK1 Pickup, then this was going to be my swap. After I bought the Wagon while I was stationed in Florida, the gears started turning to trying to put this engine in the wagon. Now that I retired after 24 years of service in the Navy, I have the time and hopefully the means to complete this swap in 2018.

Nice, I will have to follow you closely on this one, I love my EP3
The EP3 you have is it 6 speed, what transmission are you using in the swap?

I will be using my OEM CTR UK spec 6-speed transmission with an M-Factory LSD. It has the same gear ratios as the DC5 ITR and I've upgraded all the internals with Synchrotech carbon synchros with a fresh rebuild after all the track time it saw.

Now I'm just deciding which chassis to install it into... and fabricator prices...

Just a few random pics..

I hated those wheels, so I went with Subaru STi wheels in gold, I had to use some spacers and creative lug nuts to get them to fit...
