If this swap is done could a detailed write up be posted. If not could some light be shown onto wiring, axels and shift linkage aspects of the swap. I have a totaled '07 civic ex and a '98 civic hatchback

what info are you looking for ?

its a very expensive swap for power you would get , but its deff different

Points for being unique, that's for sure. The cluster swap was a nice touch, I respect that.

I think it would be cool if you could find a donor car for a good price, im sure it would be stupid reliable and get wicked mpgs (cars prob 1000lbs lighter), im sure wiring wouldnt be fun I couldnt find anyone making a harness for it yet

Danjerusmoke. Holy sh!t that's an R18 in there. Wtf? Good job. I have an r18 in my 08 civic. Slow as balls. But heard it's a great application for a turbo setup. Low compression and all.
I know this is a few months late. Bump

The car makes 186 hp / 162 tq @ 6300 rpm. that is not bad compared to stock GSR . plus if we are not beating up on the car . On high way miles 52 mpg and around town 40 mpg . this year coming up plan to reflash the car and boost it . might even look at taking out the R18 and using the R20 . Plus if we are all doing the same thing there nothing new to learn from . one cool factor is when going to the shows with the car . People at first most of the time cant figure out what the Frack it is ...LOL

was not to bad. the sucky thing was the immobilizer system . have to have the matching key , fusebox/bcm and ecu all out of the same car . since then , we have figured out to hack the immobilize out of the ecu by removing certain 8 pin chips out of the ECU . even if you have to do it the first way we came up with it . was not bad at all . most of the colors honda likes to use do the same functions. also with the ABS/TCM stuff gone . the pedal is now 1 to 1 . no delay

I love weird builds and this one makes me very happy. Well done, sirs.

That power is at the wheels? What's the weight of the car? Curious now for my CRX... this would be a great way to get 50mpg on the highway but still boost for awesome power.

I smell bs on power numbers lol if it made that on the dyno the corrections are wayyy off for altitude making it show big numbers 110%

x2 on the BS unless you have it tuned...

Horsepower @ rpm (SAE net, Rev 8/04) 140 @ 6300
Torque (lb.-ft. @ rpm) 128 @ 4300
