Got my K20 running! ! ! !

I spent a whole day sifting through the factory ETM's but it was definately worth it. I got it running, and i don't have any check engine lights, and I didn't have to get the ECU reflashed at the dealer, I used the acura key and immobilizer unit. I still have a bunch of work to do on it before i can drive it, but i'm planning to write up a good DIY on the wiring issue when i'm sure everything is right, I don't think it's worth the money to have hasport do the harness, it is actually pretty simple.

yes, i'm using two keys for now, and it will probably stay that way, becaues I usually use the remote to unlock the doors anyhow.

I still need to finish putting everything together, but i just test fired it yesterday to make sure i didn't have any wiring problems.

I took pics but they're too big to post, and i don't know how to reduce the size, if anyone care's to explain it to me, i'll be happy to post!

To reduce picture size.... Once you have opened the file (picture), on most photo editing programs, you can select edit...then image size and type or select the size. Then save, or save as depending on whether you want to keep a different copy or dont mind saving the reduced size copy.

If you dont have the image size option in edit....I believe most photo editing programs have a shortcut on the tool bar below the menu bar.

If all else fails......use the "HELP" function on your photo-editing program.

there is no reason to call bs on something so trivial as an engine swap ... there ARE k20's for sale out there and people DO swap engines, so I don't know why everyone is being immature about it
