IT'S ALIVE!
Friday afternoon a friend and I dropped the d15 out of my 93 DX hatch,and by about 9P.M. we had my 97 JDM ITR swap bolted in.Saturday morning we tackled the wiring,exhaust,radiator hoses,etc.Saturday night we "fired it up"(then we started the car 
!) and drove it for about an hour for a shakedown run-one CEL,O2 sensor-could be a bad O2 sensor,could be that the DX pea-shooter exhaust and cat is clogged up!Speedo works half the time,just like w/stock motor,so it's probably not the VSS since we used the newer one.BTW-The ITR CAI DOES FIT-PERFECTLY!AND we repinned the stock DX harness to run the OBD2 distributor and "pig tailed"(soldered,shrink wrapped)the OBD2 fuel injector plugs on to it.Pics coming soon!Oh yeah-broke an alternator belt on the test drive,limped home w/VERY dim lights!Sorry for the ramblings-lack of sleep!Thanks to all you H-T members who answered my Qs,and especially to Katman and Sheng at JDMHONDAPARTS.COM,w/o whom none of this would be possible!I'm just going to sign over my paychecks to them for more goodies for my hatch !Almost forgot-the biggest thanks go out to my friend Ron S.,AKA:Skippy or HondaRon!This is the 2nd hybrid(commonly known as a "Ronda") he has helped me build,and thanks to Brandon S.,who bought my B16a CRX and helped w/this swap as well as taking digi pics!Thanks to Smith Honda where Ron works and where we did the swap.

Re: IT'S ALIVE! (On Point EK)
This afternoon we put a EX gauge cluster in since my DX cluster had no tach,and that fixed it-must have been the plug.The only real problem is the DX exhaust choking my engine,but that will be cured this week.I'm thinking 2.5" cat,2.5" piping w/a glasspack for a reasonator and an ES oval muffler.
