Default Swap Guides

My little brother is getting ready to do his GSR engine swap in to his 92 EG hatch and I am going to be doing most of the wrench turning. A little back ground on me, I am mostly into VW's and have done many engine swaps and mods on these cars so I am by no means an idiot when it comes to mechanics. I am comfortable putting the engine in as it looks to be a pretty straight swap but I was wondering if there are any web pages out there that outline this swap in any kind of detail. Does any one have any wiring diagrams to hook up the vtec as I hear you need about 4 new wires. Is there anything else to look out for? Someone tells me there is a pin in the shift linkage that is a PITA but other than that it seems to be pretty basic. I appoligize if this has come up before but I tried search and was able to come up with very little. Thanks for helping a newbie out

This is a step by step how to



That should get you set. What model is it? It is a 92 so that Vtec is already wired to the shock tower (chassis harness). The shift linkage is hard but use a 8mm (1/4) punch or (my fav.) an A/C mounting bolt. Do you have the mounts? if not here:

That is exactly what I was looking for, it doesn't get more idiot proof than that. Thanks
