Im having my swap done at a reputable shop because i seem to have more money than i do time...Are there any things that i should look out for as far as corners being cut and things like that? They are putting a B16B into a 99ex coupe...I trust the shop and their staff i guess im just a little **** when it comes to my car sure you can understand.

 

NO BUTT CONNECTORS, everything should be soldered and shrink wrapped. when i am doin swaps people are paying for, i feel that i must make it look like it is factory.

 

Good call...I didnt even think of that.

You da man

 

Aside from soldered and shrink wrapped wires rather than butt connectors, also check to make sure they don't bypass sensors by grounding them out and connecting them to vaccuum hoses. That's a way people cut corners when they don't want to rewire their ECU harness.

I'm doing that atm to my car which is how I know lol, but I'm just trying to get my car running.

Make sure they use Honda transmission fluid.

Other than that if they're a reputable shop you shouldn't have too much to worry about.

 

Thanks for all the replys guys...I will look out for all of the things mentioned. They do plenty of swaps so im sure ill be ok.
