Rep Power: 0 youknow how to drive it and turn it on. I think that you know where the gas goes, but iknow youdont knowhow to change oil or stuff like that. But its ok, you are learning younge Jedi. Some day you will be a Jedi master, and hopefully will not turn to the V-8 dark side. The force is strong in you.

Rep Power: 0 So, is it working? Try asking hasport about the wiring. They did the first swap and got it working. Or ask mugenracerx. His shop has a k20 swap engine.

Green Civic, weve been in touch with hondawerx for quite a while now...they have provided a ton of help. Hasport...not so much...i will get into that when my car is done, and i am writting my thankyous and things like that.

Rep Power: 351 So you figured out all the wiring? If you need some more help and someone to talk to, get ahold of Cybernationmotorsports. The guys that work there are great and will more than happy to help you with your questions. I know they have done about 4 swaps now.

Rep Power: 0 There will be a video for sure. I will make a walk around video, and of one in the car going up to 8000rpm.
When all is said and done, we will take some more pics too so that people can see placements of things.

Rep Power: 0 So, its ready to run? How was the wiring? Did you try using the vehical wiring database on this site? You just got the motor right? No 5 lug conversion.

Rep Power: 0 i wanted to keep the 4-lug to have it like a sleeper. My car looks like it did before the swap on the outside which i like, except the front sits a little lower.
It isnt running yet...i have to go get a distributer block, but then it should be fairly close.
I will update you guys later.

Rep Power: 0 mine was supposed to start in May...so i know how you feel.
UPDATE
I got my exhaust made. I had a 2.5in. pipe made after the cat to the back axle where it meets with my HKS Hiper Axle Back Exhaust. My clutch line is still leaking after many tries with JB Weld to seal it up...so i will have to get a new line, im thinking about getting some steal braded line. Then its a matter of doing the o2, and the keys. I cant really tell you how it runs cause the idle is sitting at about 4 grand right now...so when i start to go i have to constantly shift, and the engine is really rough cause the other o2 isnt in, and its reading off the wrong ECU, that being my civic ECU. My car should be done on Wednesday or so. Updates as i get them.

Rep Power: 0 its because of the immobilizer system. Only your civic ECU can read the civic key. The civic key wont talk to the RSX-S ECU. Thats why you have ot get your keys reflashed to talk with the RSX-S ECU.

Rep Power: 351 There is a way to get around the immobilizer. Doing it will allow you to use your civic key withe RSX ECU without taking it to Acura and paying for it to work. I'm not sure on the process, but a guy on ephatch.com has done it twice to his EP. He goes by Port on ephatch.com Go there and PM him and he can tell you how to by-pass the system if you want to.
