[Fatal070]

turns out they sent me the wrong mounts but i fixed that orderd new si mounts there paying for them and i bought the obd1 to obd2 conversion harness. alls good again.

Try the k20a2 swap into a 7th gen civ in 2002. We had to make up everything. Buying parts here, buying parts there. Returning parts. Wiring problems. Took 4 months to get it done properly and thats with HASPORT was working with us. We helped each other for 4 months until it finally got done. That swap sucked!
I ended up driving a 72 bug for those 4 months. NOW THAT REALLY SUCKED !!!! SORRY BUG FANS!!!:thumbsup:

[Fatal070]

Hell broke lose.

My swap did not "plug in" at all - my B16A had something up with the wiring schematics and it turns out it had to be wired in similar to a JDM B18C (which has wires in spots my car's harness does not). I have looked my friend Glen's car over throroughly (he has a EG6 with the same swap as me) and his motor plugs in totally different than mine does.

It was expensive.

LOL SWAPS SUCK HAHAH o well all well that ends well :confused: lol , god im bored.

[Anotherslo1]

The swap sucked because we didn't really know what we were getting into. We thought 2 weeks max. Soon 2 became 4, 4 became 6 and so on. When that starts to happen it starts to get frustrating and then It started to suck. At the end, when it's done, you look back and say it wasn't too bad, because I learned a lot and did something at the time, or still, not many people have done before. But like all swaps gone wrong. There are those days when you just want to say screw it. Oh well. I'm done. ;)

you know this how?

[IALuder]

if you take the engine code or Vin check on a vechile history report.



*Edit* i had to do this on my EX swap. the motor had 45K and it was a 95. i had know idea anything about it except it worked+ran. then i check engine code on the net. ill go get the site and come back. if i can find it. *edit*

[oc civic]

that stuff is only so acurate.. i mean my car is a PERFECT example.. if you ran my vin who knows what you would get.. i have no odometer... and just make up the milage as i go along.. lol
