i should be done with my k20a2 swap in my ek civic in october too. how r u connecting the engine harness to the computer? (on my car, u have to have hasport splice together my current b16 engine harness and rsx engine harness or hybrid racing makes a conversion harness so everything plugs together). is your race header for a acura tsx? i'm not positive about the new civics but i know on the pre-2001 civics, you can't use the rsx header cause it comes out at a 45 degree angle. how r u hooking the shifter up? (i think if u use the rsx shifter, you have to do alot of fabricating cause the only way it fits, is with the whole shifter base has to be mounted under the floor isntead of being bolted on top). where did you buy your axles? what radiator are you using? r u trying to hook up power steering? r u gonna try to hook up the a/c? please let me know how your intall is going. if u learned any tips or anything, i'd like to know


that's my baby
(notice how the tsx header comes down at a 90 degree angle vs the rsx header that comes out at a 45 degree angle)

i didnt realize the work involved until my shop started working on this project. subframe, axles, radiator, custom hood latch, wire harness, etc. it all adds up.

gl on the buildup. it will be worth it
