Icon6 EG MIKE's Official EJ Build Thread

Well it has been about 2 years now until I have worked on my projects, and with the boost of motivation I have these days, I am eager to finish this one as soon as possible! I do not have the excuse of school and work getting in the way, I am finally only working!

Cliff Notes of Story:

I got this Teal EG as a daily and hydroplaned on the interstate into the middle median! My good friend Josh gave me his coupe that was stolen and stripped completely. For me this is perfect as I have the Teal EG full of useful parts. This project has been worked on and left alone for about 2 years now. I am finally out of college and have free time and the motivation to finish this project!

UPDATE: No pics at the moment, but I have picked up another EG with a swap and I am going to sue its engine in the coupe since it is a salvage titled car.
































I will update the pictures when I get home, I do not have all my pictures on my laptop.

Well, got to work on it again. fixed the fuel leak for now with some rubber fuel host and 2 clamps. (cheap)

Got the engine running friday night! The fans did not cut on so I didn't let it run long. I have to go back and check the sensor and maybe the wiring. More to come.

I got a donor eg and stripped the engine/suspension and integra front brakes onto the coupe.


Heres the pics:

Well got to work on it some Sunday...

I installed the exhaust and new horn.

I also checked the radiator fan out. I used the paperclip trick and the fan does work. I tested the engine again to see if the fan would come on and it didn't when the two hoses got to the same temperature. I am thinking about replacing the sensor and thermostat first off... I should get these this week..

Forgot to post this pic! Slammed out ride here:

Thanks man! I am also looking forward to seeing this play out! I would so be done by now if the stupid alarm wasn't holding me back. I have some type of wiring issue. If I engage the alarm, after 20ish seconds the alarm goes off every time.

I finally got some other work done. Almost done with the wire tuck and interior:

Some Parts:

I got 1 running eg (running blue), 1 completly stripped eg (from signature) and 1 donor salvage titled eg (wrecked blue). 1 coupe..

Good eg's here in atl are expensive too, you just have to find the deals when they come about. I got my first eg from a friend grandma, the 2nd from a local import forum, 3rd from another forum, and the last one from a good friend after he wrecked it. Check your craigslist and look in peoples yards for eg's that haven't moved in a while.

Yeah man I remember you and your brother at the dyno day. The garage is pretty sick other than only an extension cord for electricity

What are you working on now? got a thread?

Updates tonight.

Go to work on the passenger side tuck. I'm not too sure if the corner light will fit but looks close so if not i'll fix that. I put my new fog lights in the bumper and started running the wires for it. Also snapped some pics of the A/C box to show what harness I need to match my box. On with the pics!

happy cinco de mayo!!














Heres the one that matches the harness (plug) but I do not have the lines for the engine bay for this one.


Here is the one I need the harness for. Notice the plug will not work with it ( ?? 92-93 modeL?? )
