    02 i4 to v6 engine swap

    It's certainly possible. The main issue is that everything between the two engine bays is mirrored. You'd need all the lines from the V6 for the i4 engine bay. Otherwise you'll be stuck making custom lines. I have an i4 EX-L that I really wanted to drop a v6 in, but weighed my options and it...

    VW Beetle Spoiler: Will it fit?

    Will it fit? It's not pretty, but yes... yes it fits.

    Glad I Don't Live In Cali

    Good points. I was leaning more towards the fact that none of the parts are legal. I personally wouldn't set up an aftermarket business where I couldn't sell coilovers, exhausts, etc to anyone in the same state. With the port, it makes sense from an online retailer's standpoint.

    Look no further than the atrocity in my driveway. lol I'm pretty sure it's the part of us that has an infatuation with NSX/6GAs. Muscle Car Accord from the back and whale shark from the front. I'm assembling photos that can help me justify dumping more cash into my Accord. It's working.

    [Updated 12/28] J32 Swap [Wiring]

    Re: [Updated 4/28] J32 Swap [Finally Home] Not at all. Very basic wiring as long as you know what goes where. Fortunately for you, I won't disappear like CrazySpade after completing my swap if you have any specific questions. lol

    Brad2274's 1999 V6 Pearl red Coupe

    This shot gets me every time. Did you ever find the pics you had from welding your RSX seats to the accord bracket? I'm looking to do mine in the next couple of weeks. I keep my back seat down to keep from falling flat every time I let the clutch out. lol

    Glad I Don't Live In Cali

    Lol Just read quite a few strange laws from Switzerland. I'm still trying to figure out why almost every aftermarket car part I've ordered has come from California. That'd be the last place I'd set up shop.

    [Updated 12/28] J32 Swap [Wiring]

    Re: [Updated 4/24] J32 Swap [Prepping For Inspection] I'll probably keep it for a few months. Slowly transfer parts and give the new engine time to settle in without CELs. I guess I could put it up for sale on here, but I haven't seen many NC members.

    Glad I Don't Live In Cali

    kMjlle7Gm58 As far as stretching tires, there's obviously a limit. However, watch the torment professional drifters put them through. It's far more than an average commute will inflict on them. Reading through comments from the video I learned a few things about the decibel test. For...

    [Updated 12/28] J32 Swap [Wiring]

    Re: [Updated 4/24] J32 Swap [Prepping For Inspection] Never too late. Accords and J32s getting cheaper every day. Did my first burnout. It was really just a launch from rest. Saw smoke come out of the fenders and immediately thought the engine blew. My mind couldn't comprehend that a...

    Problem with rpm

    Rough idle below 700 rpms? Check your EGR and IACV. Any CELs?

    [Updated 12/28] J32 Swap [Wiring]

    Re: [Updated 4/24] J32 Swap [Prepping For Inspection] Will do. This thing is a beast. Well, quite a step up from 150hp anyway. Think I fried my turn signals during the wiring process. Probably just a fuse. It's gonna be hard to baby this thing for 500-900 miles. lol

    Re: [Updated 4/20] J32 Swap [She's Alive] After three hours of wiring, to no avail, I decided I had had enough and went home frustrated. Went back to the shop yesterday and spent another hour messing around with it when I finally decided the switch must be bad. Pulled the interlock switch out...

    [Updated 12/28] J32 Swap [Wiring]

    Re: [Updated 4/20] J32 Swap [She's Alive] Finally tracked down a clutch interlock switch. Hoping to get it wired up and functioning today after work and school.

    Did I pay too much? (calipers, rotors, pads)

    I spent $98 a piece for remanufactured calipers and $100 for four slotted/drilled rotors from Summit Racing. $163 for labor is roughly 2.5 hours which isn't entirely unreasonable. It's certainly not fast, but considering they may have spent time diagnosing any possible issues it's not...

    Considering the airbag recall, that might not be such a bad thing.

    [Updated 12/28] J32 Swap [Wiring]

    Re: [Updated 4/17] J32 Swap [She's Alive] Good idea. I just checked a picture and its 32150-S3M-A32 which is the part number for the M/T. Any clue why it wouldn't have a male connector for the clutch switch? I've got it figured out as far as the wiring is concerned. I will need to find a...

    [Updated 12/28] J32 Swap [Wiring]

    Re: [Updated 4/17] J32 Swap [She's Alive] Well, I have the CL-S clutch pedal installed. It has the exact same female plugs for the clutch switch and clutch interlock switch as the Accord 5spd one. I've examined each connector on the harness and none of them fit. It's supposed to be a plug...

    [Updated 12/28] J32 Swap [Wiring]

    Re: [Updated 4/17] J32 Swap [She's Alive] I'm not sure. I'll check when I head back to the shop tomorrow. I'm starting to think the dash harness I purchased was for an Auto. I can't think of any other reason why the connector for the clutch switch would be missing. I didn't think the...

    [Updated 12/28] J32 Swap [Wiring]

    Re: [Updated 4/17] J32 Swap [She's Alive] Just attach it to a ground? Sounds simple enough. Pretty sure the clutch needs to be wired to another wire. I've been looking at the automatic shifter to make sense of it, but haven't had any luck yet. Was this taken care of with the Richie...
