Ok, here is the story:

My brother in law is new to the import sceen and I bought him a 91 DA with a blown motor for his birthday. He then traded it for an 89 EF with a JDM ZC swap. The guys who traded him for this did not understand the dual point to multipoint FI swap. I fixed over the weekend and the car was running strong as hell. I told him he needed to at least install a kill switch or pull his ecu at night as not to get his car jacked. Of course he didnt listen and in a few weeks he wakes up to no more EF. He recovered the car but the theives removed the entire dash in order to remove the wiring harness in full. (Kinda tips me off to who stole the car cuz any Honda I have seen stolen usually has a cut harness. Maybe someone who couldnt convert the harness in the first place. HHHMMMMM) Moving along, the front end was burnt and im gonna get it off of him really cheap.

The question:

Is it a pain in the *** to install the wiring harness back into the car. I plan on swapping in a b16 from http://www.streetimports.com cus they offer I pretty decent package. Do I get the full wiring harness from the b16 or should I find another DX harness. Any and all input would be great.

 

its not a big deal to swap the complete harness as long as everything is out of the car, get a si harness, its just easier you need the entire harness including the underdash fuse box and wires

 

Im also thinking this is a good time to attempt my first wire tuck. I have heard DA suspension is a direct replacement, probably will do this ot have 4 wheel disk brakes. Replacing the suspension from a DA raise the car?

 

gonna do all this work and get stolen again!!! lol....better put couple kill switches in it this time while your redoing it all...best of luck mate

 

I warned him to put at least one kill switch, or in the mean time pull the ecu. Beleive me, it wont get stolen from me. My oldschool GS-R had 3 kill switches and an alarm with a tilt sensor to keep from getting towed. And my alarm had 2 actual cop sirens my freind jaked off a couple of cop cars in front of a shipleys donuts. HAHAHA. If you steal my car you deserve a medal.

 

yea thats what i said and then my car got stolen. 2 killswitches and alarm with tilt sensor. and they still got my car. they didnt start it either because when i got my car back the killswitches were still off. its garage only for my hatch once i put it back together.

 

man you car can have 15 kill switches, be in a garage with mean *** dogs hungry for human flesh, and have a lion in the front seat and those thieves would still find a way to get your car.

 

I was wondering if anybody had any input on Yonaka parts. I have never used or heard of them before. But the swap im prolly gonna buy included Yonaka mounts, driveshafts, and 4-1 header. Does anyone know the quality of the parts I have searched but find no opinions.

 

best of luck
