Hey there club integra. new to the forums. im about 5 weeks deep into my swap +more. this is my first project car. and my first swap. A lot of people told me how easy the swap was to do the swap. first off im going to say that yes. i have mechanical aptitude, and common sense. but my spelling might not be so great lol. i have a buddy who has 30 years of mechanical experience and another buddy whos got an Audi swap under his belt. so i didn't go in empty handed. we have basically every tool known to man. we've hit a couple of road blocks, like not knowing to take stock hard points from old motor and put them onto the new one. im doing a whole drive train swap. and going from cable to hydro. so i bought the wrong mounts and had to reorder the hydro mounts. also got confused looking for a map sensor while plugging in my harness which we did while the motors where out. we where so confused and even ripping the rhd harness apart to get the plug we needed haha. and then to find out that it was mounted in the engine bay. so we finally got the drive train in. and started plumbing the turbo piping. we had to "relieve" some areas to get the pipe to fit snug and comfy. we deiced to weld the brackets for the inter cooler to the metal bumper. and then bolt to the brackets. installing the s2 exhaust was easy. hung right up snug. had to get a high flow magnaflow cat. we plumbed for the 02 bung. and welded that into place. then welded the pipe with the bung to to turbo down pipe. right now im all wired up for vtec and the harness is all plugged in. got my s2 camber and coils under it, s2 mega exhaust. innovative mounts. still need to install my walbro 255. we still need to plumb oil for the turbo and get the bov and waste gate installed. if any one has any good info that could help us with that it would be much appreciated. still need to figure out where the cable/hyrdo conversion is going to be mounted. i picked my up from innovative. its pretty solid. we still need to make some extensions for the harness. and repair some cut wires. also still need to mount half sized aluminum radiator. will post more as i go. comments and flame all you want.
