Just waiting on a new distributor, and I need to bleed the clutch, and cooling system. Took about a week(LOTS of cleaning), with a lil help from my brother. Also did my first head gasket, and timing belt.

- 1996 Integra GS-R(bought whole car) swapped into 1992 Civic Vx

Question:
- I have a chipped P28 ECU, 4 plugs on my passenger strut tower(92' Vx harness), 4 plugs on my engine harness(96' GS-R), but only 3 of them plug in... Is this the part where I do the re-pin? Or will it work without them. I have searched and found mixed answers. - Thanks

Found this, pretty much answers my question. Posting for future reference by other members.

What are you doing with your D15Z1 VX motor and transmission?

TheException

I'm going to sell it once I know my swap is reliable. The original trans went at 181k, the one attached ill have to look closer, but it says e7f on it(unknown mileage). Currently at 186k for the motor, have never had a problem with it. I get about 38mpg avg, 90% city driving. I replaced the clutch(OEM), pressure plate, pilot/throw out bearings at 181k. I didn't resurface the flywheel however, but I should have(grabs a bit from a stop)

Hmmm, the original trans, the 5th gear set would be desirable here in Canada.

I think in the US both the CX and the VX share the same gearing, but here in Canada only the VX has the tall gears for fuel efficiency highway driving. Bit more rare up here.

Yeah, the rpms are right around 2500 at 65mph. I think they were around 1800 at 60mph with the original trans, but I could be remembering incorrectly. With vtec at 2500, that's unfortunate, haha.

There are a few Vx's down here on craigslist for $2500 - 3000 if that would be easier?

Now this is holding me up...
