Well, I was about to order wheels, and they said that if i get wheels specified for my civic, when it comes time to get SI axels, they wont work. I also compared specs and they are diff. SI have 5-114.3 on wheel and civic has 4-100. Or is the guy wrong??

Axles have nuthing to do with the lug pattern. The 04-current SIs have 5 lugs. You need the axles off the 02-03 SI if you plan to keep your car 4 lug.

I see in the RSX manual shop (also heard something on Hasport site) I neeed the AF sensor. But this seen to be a o2 sensor with another name. Do you know if I really have to buy it from Acura, or a Honda o2 sensor will make the same work...

EDIT: The AF sensor is a wideband o2 sensor, for a better effiency you must use it

i dont have an AF sensor. There is some pretty tricky wiring when it comes to the o2 sensors and i have no idea what ruben did but my car runs fine without an AF senor.

your car looks tight by the way. I used to have those rims before i went 5 lug. My car is the same color too but with 4 doors. nice carbon fiber hood too. Im jealous

You need to have the wideband sensor. Your car will run but will run really rich and have crappy gas mileage. The second sensor is the secondary 02 sensor, which just tells you if the primary sensor goes bad. You dont need this hooked up. You should be getting a "CEL" what code is it throwing?

yeah i was running super rich but ruben fixed the problem and it runs great now.

As for 240 hp, i doubt it. i wanna dyno car but it feels close to 200hp. i romp rsx-s with i\h\e with ease. even stock wrx's are not a problem

This is a k20z1 i think... but this is the same base and head... only change Intake manifold inlet and the headers.. So yes, this will fit the hasport mount.

I did it.... I just have to plug the thermoswitch black wire on the ground and the green on the fan relay (FanControl wire, green/white one I think) at the underhood fuse box (or C101 connector). The only matter is to fit the thermoswicht somewhere, but I make a fitting for put it in the lower hose.


So I finaly make all the wiring myself... so I just have to put the engine in place, plug everything and check if everything is alright...

For the thermoswitch the civic and RSX one is the same (same OEM number)

I know the civic clutch line usually take all the engine bay and the fitting on the master cylinder is bigger than a RSX one.

Someone here had do the swap with the Civic one er everybody change for the rsx master cilynder ?
sorry for the dumb question but i get the master cylinder and slave cylinder mixed up. are you talking about the one on the tranny or the one on the firewall? for the one on the tranny i used the rsx cylinder with a civic fitting, very easy to change.

This is the one near the firewall

EDIT : The civic one work fine...just take care when you make the custom line to don't have too much loop.... you can help the system bleeding with your hand... just push a couple of time directly on the bearing release fork (slave cylinder)
