Default DRising Ef project

Hi Back a gain with another Ef got a good price on it so once I saw the jdm front and motor it was a deal I couldn't refuse .


Im in Dominican Republic right now we have alot of jdm parts here because its cheaper to import from japan than USA but everything is overpriced here except labor I used to live in Rhode island but I like it here better anyways enough about me heres what I got.

Its a 91 civic hb
obd2 d15b vtec
hacked wiring everywhere
bought the car running on 3 cylinders
with obd2 p2e ecu
complete obd2 wiring custom made seems good so far just they didnt wire it for vtec


I have done a couple of things already to the car just havent taken alot of pics because im just trying to get it running right first and taking off things I dont like I have about 2 weeks with the car I work and have a baby so I try and squeeze as much time and money as I can .

Here is how it looked when I brought it home






dont be fooled by the stickers it has none of that **** on it.

Here is what I have done so far

1.Took off all stickers
2.Fixed all lighting on the car front and rear
3.Got p2j-003 ecu and wired it up
4. Realigned front bumper
5.bought iat sensor maintenance on motor (btw motor is super healthy)
6.Rewired under dash,engine, lighting and ecu wiring.
7.Traded the 17 inch rims for som 14s
8.Removed tint
9.Removed mid wing
10.Fixed hacked up throttle cable
11.Painted flat black trunk where spare tire goes

To do list

1.Need tps sensor
2.ither get new intake manifold,tap the one I have or do an iacv mod because motor came from an auto and the iac is 3 wire instead of 2 wire.

I will be doing more things to it but first is getting it running perfect

I will be taking off the side spoilers but thats when I do the paint job and I still dont know if I should keep the ek type R wing unless I find a ef9 one witch I had 2 before and gave em out like an idiot.

Any comments are welcomed keep tune for the progress!!!
Teaser pics sorry for the bad quality pics Ill take better ones as soon as I can.

lol yeah its the same car I does look diff except for the color got the tps today so its running good now just need to do an iac mod to be done engine wise for now.

Im pleased so far of the out come specially since im doing all the work im saving alot of money and since I bought the car half the price of what they go for here stock im feeling good about it and with the ricer parts I have been trading them for stock parts and getting cash back what ill be putting most of the money into will be paint job and interior.

I want to paint it nsx omala orange and do full interior but those are gonna be the final touches still got alot to fix.
