hey to the op, atleast your whole swap experience hasnt been like mine. heres the cliff notes of my cars life since last december:
bought car stock in december of 2006
got my first speeding ticket februrary of 2007 in it
ran 1st-4th gear reving out to 8000rpm on a b16b ecu (dumbest decision of my life) in july of 2007
bought ls/vtec swap off a friend for $2500 installed by him (another dumb choice) in august of 2007
clutch blew up in december of 2007
after 5 weeks of downtime i find out it wont start because i put the dizzy in 180 off, which jammed the intake cam and made the timing belt slip on the intake cam gear, cam ended up almost 180 degrees off (not shitting you) and bent some valves.
handed it into a local shop to replace the hacked up harness and replace the 450cc injectors with stock ones (recent).
got it back and paid the bullshit $800 bill
took car up to a friends shop yesterday who was going to replace the bent valve(s).
got word last night that he got the head off and found it had 2 bent intake valves (expected) and has had a blown head gasket for a long time.
the previous owner ran a gt35r on 12psi on this 11:1 ls/vtec motor so that probably has alot to do with the headgasket and other problems i had with the car (and why i got it so cheap).
now its time to sell the car, i had fun for a summer with it even though it wasnt fixed up and didnt see anywher near its full potential, still needs a tune (running on a basemap with hondata) and its on stock header and exhaust. Im going to miss it alot but i just turned 17 and i cant be putting all of my money into a car, i have to finish high school and go off to college.
best of luck with your crx and keep us updated
