Got the P2R I.M. adapter! Very nice to see a company like this still supports the CG chassis to this date. Thought about getting a new T.B., and have it ported out, but I think I'm gonna stick with just the cleaning, unless it's decaying or anything. Gonna try to stick with the swap being factory as much as possible (besides the intake 'n headers..) so I can feel each of the differences in upgrades, little by little in the long run.
Remarks: Updated:11/20/2020
- -Rear right brake- Scratching sound when the wheel rotates. Either the parking brake or the pad.
- -Oil pressure Switch- The area is leaking but I need to double check on this again.
- -Cabin Air Filters- Pretty sure they're nasty AF.
- -SRS Air Bag Service Recall- Need to visit the dealership before the swap happens.
- -L. Headlight wiring- It's not turning on, and it keeps blowing out the fuse. Makes me want to replace the whole wire harnesses now haha.
- -Fuel injection- When it fires up at a start, it ignites fine but the fuel sounds like it isn't getting injected / pumped out effectively. Got the fuel injector relay replaced very recently but I feel like the fuel pump is due soon. Accord is doing a similar thing on a rare occasion, but if it's really the fuel pump, I'll hold on to this, since the pumps aren't interchangeable and not related to the swap. Added the fuel injector cleaner to the tank.
- -Spool Valve- Waited until 4800 RPM, but I still can't hear the VTEC kicking in yo. The spool valve housing / the solenoid is probably done. I might leave this as is, and transfer the one from my Accord, when the swap begins, since they're interchangeable.
- -P.S. Rack- It's leaking but I'll ignore this since it's not a swap-related issue.
- -Passenger's side seat- It isn't reclining lol. Gave a little search up in Azine, and it turned out to be a very common issue for these particular seats, due to corrosions / rusts on the gear. That's how it gets stuck, and why it doesn't move. It supposedly can be fixed by re-greasing the gear and forcing it to turn 'n click again with a use of a flat screw driver.
- -Audio Head Unit- The Bose radio works nice, but the compact disc playa is not in the game. I might buy a used oem head unit from eBay, since getting it fixed by the dealership will be in a higher price.
