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..

Well all the engines aren't perfect..(they are used) small problems are something you have to expect.

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.
