swap was completed about a month ago, still waiting for her to be registered though...

one issue was the code 17 VSS problem. the ECU requires a signal that the car is going over 20mph before VTEC kicks in.

cause my car is an 83 model Prelude i needed to get the signal from the dash console, which uses an optical sensor to determine road speed which then transforms the signal into a square wave type...

anyways! on the back of the cluster there is a little circut that does this and an output is the blue wire marked SP, i hooked up the VSS wire to this output and took it for a test drive...

3000, 4000 - bang!!! she opened up and the intake noise was amazing!

the push in the back was the best! a grin from ear to ear :D

just thought id share this with you guys...

ive got VTEC!!!

i gotta see this

edit - ok now that i saw it - i want one too - it musta been very difficult to get the motor to mount properly huh? all you need are some ITR cams and some dyno time to dial it in

how much does the 83 lude weigh?

 

according to Honda - 955kg or 2100lbs

ive removed all the A/C, the ALB and replaced an iron block with a alloy one...

so it could be as little as 900kg or less than 2000lbs??? not sure.

but its not heavy by any measure.
