VARIATORS

[rollinjunk]

how the hell do you take off the fucking bolt on a variator???


HELP im trying to do it right now

[SpoonKiller]

You set up a meet, invite Abe, act pitiful, get Abe to install for you!

I'll look for some pics we took when he did it. He used a a rag to hold the variator in place and then a couple good wacks on the ratchet...

:oyo if you can hook me up with pcitures that would be fucking sweet


opps i used a bad word im sorry spoon

power tools. or somehow hold the pulley and smack the bolt loose. Ive never personally done it with hand tools. torque spec is 32 N-m (24 ft-lbs) which is like a spark plug is tightened to. book says apply oil to threads and flange surface. id say apply loctite and torque to 40 or so or "F-T" u dont want that nut to come off! oh yeah get the belt to ride up in the rear pulley first and stuff something in there to keep it expanded so u dont have to take off the rear clutch stuff. the belt should be kinda loose so u can slip it off the front pulley.

OK dude here are some pics form when Abe did mine... Hopefully somebody can use those to explain things to you better than I could.

Hey don't be a dick! You damn well know you can cuss all you want I just want the whoring toned down to a minimum!!

[rollinjunk]

thanks guys i got her


hell ya i gues you all can guess what one thing im doing this weekend form the stuff i got from japan is

[robomod]

I held mine with channel locks.

Make sure the roller weights have the end covered with plastic facing the direction of rotation. Or, is it the other way around.
I showed my buddy my $11 roller weights, then he translated the back of the package. I'll get back to you, or look on the back of the roller weight pack to see which way they go.

i knew it!abe's got three arms! look at the third pidc down. it all makes sense now

[rollinjunk]

ok next one how the heck to i get the pully thing off on the other side ??

[bluesmokeracing]

the variator or the rear pulley w/clutch? dont take the rear off. just wiggle the belt off and then the variator should come off. use the spacer that comes wih the variator,also. if yours is shaved,then it will cause a problem.

[robomod]

If would be good to know how to install the parts you bought, since you are spamming the shit out of us.

good luck, don't tell us until it's done. We know you went to japan and bought parts. K?

Nice, how much?

[robomod]

Save it til your stock belt gets shitty.

[rollinjunk]

3200 yen or so

rob thats a great idea but i already have it all apart why not just do it now?

i guess its not goig to make me go faster is it

[robomod]

Once you get the hang of taking your drive cover off it'd not a big deal to replace. It sounds like you first time. No biggie. It probably won't make much of a difference, but if you want to put it in it's still cool. I think they just have a longer life, but no magical powers. You need the power stone to get Kevlar to evolve into Kevlarion.

i started to have a panic attack after i took all the intake stuff off but then i found a page off tokyo parts that has pictures and text on how to put the setup i got on so now im a little bit better ....



Im taking pictures for everyone they prorbably wont be that good but ill post um up in a bit

[rollinjunk]

ok so here is my last ? for everyone well untill the next round of stuff i do to this thing..


How do i make sure that the bolt holding the variator on does not come loose cause i just drove the damn thing all was good for like half a block then it made a crazy ass noise and turned off .hmmm


get home to find that the bolt is loose as fuck.....


Any ideas ??

That really sucks. I've been stranded twice cuz of that problem. Honda should have used a locking nut like on the front and rear axles (see the little fin pieces that grip the threads?). Anyways, to get the stocker to work first you should degrease it. If you got degreaser great but if not use some soap/water and get it and the threads on the crankshaft non-greasy. Then (and this is the key part) put a drop of blue 'locktite' (available at any hardware store) on the threads. This stuff dries and prevents the nut from vibrating loose. The blue is removable locktite and can be removed with a socket but the red stuff is supposedly permanent on bolts under 1" diameter or so but it's not really that permanent is just a bit harder. I've actually used both on my variator and they both work fine. I recommend blue though.
