okay thought i'd make a new thread because my old one is kinda getting off topic. but anyway my work on the project so far is here https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=71707
update from that i started stripping my exi so i can pull the wire harness from that and the heater unit. so far i have fenders, bumper, rad, and dash removed. I've also ordered a gasket set, pistons, rings and bearings for the b18. I'll keep pics posted of the build.
you get the mounts?
yeah i posted pics on the other thread..Originally Posted by 89T
udate. pulled the engine from the exi. removed the wire harness from the engine bay, pull pedal box. now just need to strip the rest of the interior to finish taken out the wiring then all be swappin it into the coupe.
Also placed an order for an 8lb xtd flywheel. Also wanna order a clutch not sure what brand to go with. the xtd ones on ebay are cheap and ive read from different ppl on fourms some say they are good and some say there crap. anyway here is a few pics.

good stuff. a clean engine bay definitely makes a swap look 897987x better!
yeah i know. i dont have alot of money to sand it all down and get it sprayed so im just spray painting it but it will look better then it did b4 lol
lol yeah, well anything beats 20 years of mud baked on the engine bay
some more of the bay done the other day.
before :
after:
some of the rebuild parts
ooooooooooooo
200+ ALL MOTOR LS VTEC
The wet weather been pissing me off not being able to get much done... anyway this morining i went to finish unplugging the wire harness from the interior of the car. mean while up under the dash on the drivers side i came across this. I'm just wondering what it is thanks guys.
sorry for the bad pics.
the only thing else new is i finished up the paint on the engine bay, and light weghit flywheel should be here tomorrow.
antenna assembly?
If it ain't broke... I fix it!
maybe the car has power antenna... there is like a hose coming out of this thing tho? idk
if it is the antenna, that hose would be the drain
okay thanks. i know the dx does not have this. so i wanna swap the power antenna from the exi on the dx so i just wanted to figure out what this was b4 i got the parts car hauled away.
just wondering anything else you guys think i should save from the car?
so today i started putting the wiring from the exi into the dx. anyway i was wondering if i have to change my back half of the wire harness. like where it unplugs by the drivers door? i compared the plug from the exi to the one on the dx and the one on the dx has 4 extra wires could someone tell me what these are for? one of them is yellow, one is green with a yellow stripe, one is yellow with a red stripe and the other one is blue with a red stripe.
do you have a manual for these cars, either a haynes/helms/chilton? the wiring diagrams are in the rear, it's strange that the dx would have more wires than the ex-i, the dx is a four door right? could have to do with the door sensors, i dunno, but when i get home i can look in the book if no one else has chimed in.
dead white and blue
i have one of the real old haynes manuals and i couldnt find it in there.... and no the dx is a 2 door and the exi is a four door. but yeah i thought it was weird that the dx had more wires. i guess im gonna have to trace them. i was really hopin i wouldnt have to change the half of the car grr..
been busy so havent had time to figure out what them wires are for.
but the gas tank on my parts car is in rough shape so looks like i need to find another one. I got an integra tank in decent shape maybe i can make that work?
working 6 shifts a week so havent had much time to work on the car....
anyway i traced the 4 wires and found that they just run to my seatbelt indicators up by the rearview mirror. havent done much else but remvoed the fuel line from the exi.
once you got that efi fuel line into your car, its just a matter of putting everything back together
haha yeah thats gonna be awhile. still have to wire it for the b18.once you got that efi fuel line into your car, its just a matter of putting everything back together
things i know i need to do:
-add ecu plugs to covert to obd1
-run wires for o2 sensor
-change dizzy plug
-add wires for the distributor
but what i was thinking. i may sound crazy lol cuz idk if it will work like this but why couldnt i go to the j/y and rip the wiring from a teg that runs from the ecu out into the engine bay and drop it in the accord. sence most of the wires from the ecu go to the engine to me it seems like this would be easyer to do. then everything would plug right in for the most part.?
Sorry its been along time since i've got to do any work on my swap. As of now i got the fuel line all in. Tonight i started test fitting the mounts in the car. I know where the bracket and passanger side mount goes and i know where the drivers side mount goes.
But i got one mount left does this go in the front or the back? The integra engine and trans has a mount on the front but i can't see the swap mount going in the same spot but i looked on the back of the engine and cant seem to see where the mount goes ether? any help on where this mount goes.
