No problem man, Yeah you could try an EZ out for sure. Its basically a bit that screws in CCW instead of CW to help extract broken off bolts, etc. I'd say its worth a shot. BTW, we were all noobs at one point or another. There's so much stuff to learn and its fun getting to learn it.

u definately wont need to run an s300 on a simple mini me swap. money wise its just not worth it all. your gonna be spending another 600 at least on the s300. just get a p28 ecu or have yours converted to vtec and call it a day.... gl with ur build

I agree, I think the s300 would be wayyyy overkill to tune what you have. If you really want to tune, chip and socket the ECU and get it dyno tuned using Crome.

Well, you could just stick with a stock EX ecu. It's the cheaper route to go. But, I don't know a thing about the s300 other than it's tune-able.

well im about to rebuild the bottom end with Vitara Pistons and im not sure what rods yet and then I am turboing it. so thats why i was thinking on getting the hondata. any idea on some good rods for fairly cheep? ohh and I just went drop my head of at the machine shop so they could drill and tap that retarted sensor out. should be done in a few hours. I was hoping i could have got it all done today but i have to work at 4 and i dont think thats going to happen.

If you havent get the sensor out, you can use whats called an "easy out" any machine shop would have one and probably would get it out for free basicly looks like a drill bit with a backwards spin on it and its used for stuff like that

Oh my bad dude, if your going Boost, s300 will be nice. Boost by gear is very nice.

i could be wrong but i believe the first is a vacuum port for the cruise control and the second is the other coolant line.

If you look at my mini me I plugged the hole that you are pointing at with a cap. The one connected to the IACV valve goes to the throttle body I think but dont quote me on that......

I dont mind. that hose is going toward the big hose connected to the thermostat. THere are 2 possible places it could go. If you search minime on HT you should be able to find it. I found it on here somewheres I just dont remember when
