no offense, it just looked like a total noob question.

what do you mean you searched? theres tons of material. just search for 'swap' or 'wiring' or anything. make sure its under archived.

damn, i asked this question before when i thought i was getting an hf and i didnt get near as much as this ****. why not just post what u know or just link it in on here?

and also how many of the 963 results actually tell you what i am looking for? most of them are "my swap wont start" having over heating problems" nothin really waht i am looking for i want to know about the wiring and if i have to change the hubs and all that

Critical thinking. Most of the time, you actually have to read to find out the right answers.

just like doing a swap on an Si. need to wire up vtec, vtec oil press, knock sensor, etc. But, you also have to do a MPFI conversion
