hope yours works right, my friend has an ek coupe, he ordered the same setup from HMO, jdm b18c with lsd option, and after the install, coming from a d16y8 he knew he had more power than previous, but didn't realize his vtec was not working, the motor they sent him had a bad tps sensor and the throttle body froze up after a few months, we had to use pliers just to open the thing..
I've got the same motor from them in my EJ1 and everything is working fine. your going to love driving your car more now than before. Got any plans for the future with this motor?

i wish i had more time to get all my bolt on's on the motor before i put it in. my car broke down in delaware and had to hurry up and get everything in because that was my only car. I'm looking forward to going all Motor so watchout now, LOL!!
those swaps are so much money. fkn 3500? i spent about that on my built D and turbo setup with tune. And i put down 270 WHP on 13.5PSI. And all i need is a 3bar map to boost more :/
you'll need a bit of wire and a round 2 pin connector if you want to run the IABs. I also recommend snagging some ECU pinouts from the junkyard so you can plug it into your ECU harness.
I don't care what anyone says, every actual dyno I've seen says they really help the gsr torque curve, and I can tell a big difference between them being enabled/disabled.
Just a tip: if your EG is anything like an EK, you'll want to lengthen the fuel return hose with the engine OUT of the car. Otherwise, you'll be cussing it for 2 hours trying to squeeze your hand back there. So, you'll want to buy a length of fuel return hose.
Radiator's not 100% necessary - I've been running mine with a y8 radiator for over a year with no problems, but I think it might help a bit. Mine runs constant 186F on the highway, up to 206F in traffic, sometimes a bit higher if it's really hot and I'm running AC. You won't be able to keep your AC with a fullwidth teg radiator, I don't think.
