Undertaking 97 GSR swap into a 97 DX
I've done some searching around and was able to find one write up on a 00 civic with an 01 gsr, but I haven't found much for the obd2a swaps. I'm doing a swap for a guy and he has a complete 97 gsr integra and a complete 97 civic dx (both cars run at the moment). The integ is beat up and so he's swapping the motor into his cleaner civic.
I believe I need to use the civic engine harness, but I have to modify it for the gsr engine, is that right or is the gsr harness a plug and play affair?
Will the integra radiator bolt in the civic? I know the civic has a smaller radiator outlet and the integra hose has to be clamped down hard. I'm hoping to not have to do that and just use the integ's radiator.
The Integ's ECU will plug into the civic's harness, but I will have to wire in vtec, IAB, and the knock sensor right? I've seen a couple people touch on this, but never give me a definate answer on what the dx has (obviously not vtec or iab), but I'm not sure about the knock sensor.
And the axles from the integra with bolt right into the civic knuckles, right?
Thanks for the help. This will be my first obd2 swap, so I'd like to learn as much as I can!
