You ran in to the exact point to where my swap was put on hold. Me and my friend diy'd mine. Had everything in the car in about 2 weeks (only worked on weekends for 3 hours a day). When it came time to do the wiring got it in the car and had the same issue (fuel, crank, no spark)

I wound up eventually calling Hasport and having them make a harness for me, the reason you're getting the no start is there is a relay that needs to be put somewhere in the harness, i saw it there, but i have no idea where it goes. I'd suguest emailing hasport and seeing if they will be nice to you and help you out. But sence they make money doin it i doubt they will. I know a few other members here have done the wiring themselves maybe they'll be able to chime in.

btw props for doin the auto to manual swap, and props for doin the swap like a real man, not letting a shop do it

Why so much of the hating of turbo hawk? Do you not agree that a boosted k20a2 in a vic would ownnn? Like iceburg?

 
Rep Power: 345

to each their own. Personally i think a FWD car with all that power is completly useless. If you have to put slicks on the damn thing to get it to launch i don't see the point in it. Some people like NA some people like turbos, i'm not a turbo kinda guy is all.

plus in my opinion nuthing beats the sound of a high reving NA motor.

ahhh icic I guess its more bc ur a autox guy instead of drag? Damn lol your really busting my bubble, now i feel like i wana save towards a new car instead of swap and boost. Just out of curiosity, why u buy fwd car then in first place?

Thanks for the advice Hawk. You are the pioneer of this swap. My first thoughts of ever doing the swap evolved from your swap. I knew the wiring was going to be the biggest challenge.

I have my own little stack of wiring diagrams and pinouts that i have been collecting to try to solve the wiring issue. Hopefully after the flash the thing starts.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE 02 SENSOR WIRING IS?

I am using hondatas K20 tech sheet to wire upthe 02 sensor but the wiring ont eh sheet doesnt match the wiring on the 02 sensor. If i can remember i think it was 2 black and a green and a red. I tested the 02 sensor with a meter and 2 pins were 6 ohms and the other 2 were blank. Which is the 02 + and which is the 02 - ??? Im not wiring the 02 heater coil for now. I just want to get this beast running. Hawk, i believe teh relay was for the 02 sensor heater coil (as shown onthe hondata sheet)

OK THE MOMENT OF TRUTH WILL COME TOMMOROW MORNING.

Tomorrow im towing the car to the acura dealership and getting the immobilizer reflashed.

Hopefully this thing will start up. Otherwise its back to the wiring.


We touched everything up today and cleaned the garage.

I will get pics as soon as my car is drivable. I dont have much time throught the week since i work fulltime and then go to the garage to work on teh car right after.

Never mind the 02 sensor stuff. I msut have overlooked the schematic that i have. The wire colors are:

heater element in 02 sensor (HAWK: im pretty sure this is what hasport is wiring the relay for):
black --> POWER (C101 PIN 15 or PIN A22 (WHITE))
black --> GROUND (PIN A1)

02 sensor
white--> a6 red +
green--> a16 red/yell -

are you keeping your power steering and a/c with this? Or another question, can you?

 
Rep Power: 334

Damn sounds pretty easy.. A friend of mine is selling mea K20 for 2500 with tranny and all... So did you get the wiring figured out ?? Also will you be able to keep the AC cause I'm from Texas and summer's get pretty brutal down here....

 
Rep Power: 335

whats this i hear about swapping a auto to a manual, that the "D" will keep blinking on the guages?

 
Rep Power: 0

AC NEEDS A CUSTOM LINE MADE. ILL HAVE DETAILS WHEN I GET IT DONE. ITS THE ONLY THING THAT WAS TEMP. SACRIFICED FRO THE SWAP!!

GOOD QUESTION!!

 
Rep Power: 0

I DIDNT REALY PAY ATTENTION TO THE D BLINKING BUT FOR US AUTO'S YOU HAVE TO ADRESS A WIRING ISSUE FOR THIS. I HAVE AND IT WORKED. YOULL FIND IF YOU DONT, YOUR KEY WILL BE STUCK IN THE IGNITION BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS YOUR IN R,N,OR D. ITS A SIMPLE FIX.

hAVNT CHECKED IT YET. ILL LET YOU KNOW. IM FOCUSED ON GETTING IT RUNNING

WE USED A CHERRY PICKER FOR THE MOTOR SWAP (FROM THE TOP).

BASICALLY YOU WANT TO LEAVE ANYTHING THAT WILL STICK OUT AND GET CAUGHT UNTIL AFTER YOU DROP THE MOTOR IN. THEN PUT THEM BACK ON. I REFER TO THE FRONT AND REAR MOUNTS.

ADVICE: THE MOTOR GOES IN FOR SURE, JUST BE PATIENT.

OK GUYS THE MOMENT OF TRUTH WAS THIS MORNING.

I towed my ride to honda to get the immobilizer reflashed and after they did that the first crank, it only cranked

Then they cranked again and it caught some fuel and spark.

THEN A THIRD TIME, AND THE BEAST CAME OUT OF HIBERNATION.

Im running a dcrh and open exhast so its running really loud. But it seems as though the swap has been a success. I have to tweek some things out, but im really happy.

Im going to work on geting the exhaust done because its LOUD and the coolant temp and speedo guages were not hooked up. The ac ill leave to later when everything is in shape.

Im at work now but couldnt resist voicing the success.

Pics coming soon.

PIMP Man.... Seems Like it went Pretty Smooth..... I have almost everything for my swap. I still need pedal assembly, master cylinder, and si radiator... Did you need a dash wire harness for a M/T?

yeah man good going

cant what to see the pics

 
Rep Power: 335

cool man. congradulations!

Keep the info comming!

There hasn't been many AUTOMATIC to MANUAL K20 swappers on here. Most of them are manual to manual swaps.

 
Rep Power: 0

No dash wiring harness needed. Youll need the Si radiator and Fans. You wont need the condenser for the ac. You can use the one you have. The one off the SI is exactly the same. However youll need custom ac lines made.
