k so i got a mint 92 LX for pretty much nothing...

and i just picked up a D17 vtec engine , tranny, ecu, wiring and axles, for cheap from a 2003 civic

what will i need to make it work?

AFAIK the d17 computer needs a coded key to read to disable the anti-start if the wrong key is used. how do overcome that , and will the d17 wiring harness clip into my body harness??

if im not mistaken this engine is also coil on plug

 

no dice eh??

 

it's not worth it. sell what you have and order a d15b from hmotors. you will thank me later

 

yeah but everyone and their grandmother has a d15b.... i like unique

what i found out is that i can use my stock wiring harness, get my hands on a p28. pop the plug on the side of the head and convert it to a distributer system . so i got a d17a vtec with a dizzy

 

not worth it, D17s use cable shifter, and a diff wiring system, for example, the ignition is part of the wiring harness.. there is no distributor. Their sluggish too. I womp my friends with my d15b all the time. Plus i dont think they would mount in without some fabrication.

All that trouble for a 1.7L VTEC-E motor that lays down a nice 17 sec 1/4 mile?

 

yeah i fliped the d17.

i just perchased a d15b

thanks guys
