I just received my JDM B16 and have found that the wiring seems to be reversed (at least a few of the plugs if not all of them) I took all the wire loom off and haven't done any more on it since (any advise beyond labeling the wires and extending/shortening as needed?).
I got the clutch/flywheel in and started to do the timing belt/water pump but can't get the stupid harmonic balancer off (120 psi impact didn't budge it). I went to a local shop and bought a "special tool" to grip the balancer and allow you to get the socket on while holding the balancer in place It didn't fit and said it fits "most Honda/Acura motors" I believe it is for pre 1990 motors (45mm??) and I think I need the 50mm tool (which I can't find in my town) I even tried to use a rubber strap wrench (which was a joke) and I don't have access to a 3/4 impact (not even sure it would work)
I'm pissed and venting so sorry about the ramble.
Any sound advise will be greatly appreciated (on the wiring and the stupid bolt on the harmonic balancer). I wont be able to touch the swap until Monday for limited time. I will be doing this swap until the end of time at this rate. My LS swap was plug and chug with no problems with any of the installation adn replacement of parts
