Just wanted to get out the word about the swap "we" started about 6 months ago.
this swap was a major pain the in the rump!@!!!@#$@#
98 Accord Ex
F20B SiR-T
first the wrong transmission came, was supposed to be LSD auto..
the exhaust manifold was missing the down pipe
it came with the EDM harness
there were a lot of little issues with it...
the actual physical swap actually took about 1 day, we just put it on the lift, put a pallet under the car, lowered the car till the oil pan touched the pallet, and unbolted her....simple simple simple part
We got the harness in, we got the ECU plugged in, then what? Immobilizer..i could not find the fix for it pin A16 then...so we ordered a skunk2 conversion harness and used a OBD-1 P13, it started, it ran had a coupla CELs. My Dl got suspended, so I did not go to the shop for about 3-4 months.......
well another guys comes to the shop and started sweating us about getting the his car done(SiR swapped EK), so the conversion harness was added to his car instead........while i am gone......when i get back i find that the conversion harness for a prelude was sent, and the ECU was repinned for the prelude, and now it does not turn the fuel pump on...i was told it ran. but i did not see any reason it would......so right now...i have just cut the harness plugs...and i am hardwiring OBD-1 plugs from a DX civic and adding vtec parts....so far I have the fuel pump working, and there is fuel, but no spark....ther are a few sensor not wired (CYP CKP) when those are wired(tuesday) I will have that Effing thing running, and then it goes home...
moral of the story..if you have a shop....don't let kids convince you to do something that you really cannot find any information on, has not been dont by many people...or give them less power simply because he just had to have the blue VC, and have to end up with the car sitting for 3 months
