hey guys i just recently acquired a 00 DB8 GSR 4dr for cheap due to theft recovery. ive been searching google but no definite answers. my question is..

1) what is the difference between the 5spd and auto ignition switch lock and tumbler?

2) also when purchasiing a ignition switch harness and lock am i only year specific to get the 2000-2001 only or can i get one off a 94-99 integra?

i am able to depin wires if necessary.

 

If your Integra has the OEM immobilizer, [PATS] system, you will need the ign. switch "system" with transponder key, it will have to be for the 2000/01 Integra, you will also need to have the system programed for the new key[s], if you have the original key, you may be able to get away with a new key cylinder and switch, the switch is held in place to the back of the ign. switch housing with 2 screws, or get the whole thing... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Standard-Mot...sories&vxp=mtr 94

 

thank you for your fast response FCM. the owner i bought the car from took apart the whole ignition lock assembly. it looks like i will have to buy the whole thing. the ebay link you gave me was exactly what i am going to buy.

also does anyone know if a P73 ecu has immobilizer (JDM OR USDM)? BC that is whats in the car now dont ask me why..

 

Did you get keys with the car or does old owner have keys?

As you will have to get the ign. switch assembly anyway just install it and have the keys programed or get the replacement immobilizer chip, about $50. 94

 

Yes he did give me a key for the doors and one key for the igntion.

Whats the approx cost of getting the key programed at the dealer?

Where is the immobilizer chip located?

Sorry for the dumb questions. I never dealt with this immobilizer stuff. Just want everything back to stock and original as it should be.

 

The immobilizer chip is in the ECU/ECM.

Cost of programming will depend on the dealer.

If you have an original key, just get a a tumbler "keyed" to it. 94

 

a p73 ecu isnt stock so if thats what is in the car the whole immobilizer thing may be a non issue, Is the ECU in it obd2b or is there a conversion harness? If you dont know how to tell check this out

you eithr need a whole ignition assembly like you said as well as re-keying the immobilizer to the brain, as that brain isnt stock, or get a conversion harness, convert to obd1 and get a non immobilizer ignition..If you dont have smog where you live

 

i know a p73 is a type r ecu. its obd2b. i used my obd2b to obd1 ecu jumper with my obd1 p72 and sure enough it starts and everything is working. i still cant believe this car was a steal for me for 1000 bucks, nothing is missing and everything works hooray!!. i am starting on buying a whole new steering column, ignition switch with keys, and a obd2 gsr ecu. then take it to the dealer for program. hopefully they dont overcharge me. thanks everyone for the reply.

 

If you can find all of those parts from the same car you wont need a dealer reprogram..otherwise sounds like you got it figured out..good luck with it man

 

btw no one answer my question about the diff between ignition switch harness.

5spd and auto the same as far as wires? im finding that the auto ones come complete with steering column, ignition switch and lock with keys plus its like 15 bucks cheaper

 

I see that sometimes ign. switches, [harness and switch] are sold as for automatic or for manual...

But it seems to be all over the place...

I would guess the auto one would have leads for shift lever unlock. 94

 

I dont know the difference myself, Id buy the one that is the same as the car tho..just in case there is some dumb difference like the shape of a plug

 

okay. best to buy the manual one better safe than sorry just in case. ill let you guys know when i finish installing all parts required

also just an fyi. when i converted my automatic del sol to manual the auto ones just had couple more wires i had to de-pin. might be the same for integra auto and 5spd.
