Which plugs are you guys using? I'm running BKR6E-11s right now... not sure if that's right since everyone says to get BKRE-N11s... is there a difference?

HEY DarkSubRosa

U have a JDM B16A2 in ur DX civic right? I have a same car and engine as u. can u tell me how many wire u have run to get the engine running right? Do u have to hook up the A20 (EVAP PURGE) wire to the ECU? I run a Vtec wire to D4, Knock Sensor to D6, do u have to wire anything beside that? PLEASE HELP

there are 4 wires you add.... im not exactly sure where to pin them in, im pulling the motor out and putting it into a hatch, i gotta get the schematics for the wiring so i'll know in a couple days if you can hold off... but its 4 wires, knock sensor, two from the solenoid, and another for the pressure switch i think.... im getting the diagram on it to redo the swap so if you need to know i'll find out.... late

oh yea...and just to be sure what your talking about..no such thing as a JDM B16A2.....its just a B16A.... second gen hydro tranny from a 94 SiR...B16A2's are USDM Si motors from the 99+ coupes.
