Default 4 things I would like identified in a pic (GSR hatch)



This is my friend's 93 Cx with a GSR motor.

I will be doing my own swap as soon as I get my GSR motor. Anyhow I took a lot of pics of his motor (only found this one at the moment) and just would like to find out what is what. I really am a newbie with motor tech, but I have to start somewhere

#3 is pointing at the 2 connectors with the black wire and gray wire.

This is a pic of his drivers side engine mount. I am curious if he can / should take the a/c pulley off if not going to be running A/C?



Thanks!

The #3 in that pic is the MAP sensor. The A/C pulley is already off but the bracket is still there. You should keep the bracket since it connects the left front lower damper mount to the frame rail.

# 1 is where the engine harness connects to the chassis harness, passenger side.

# 2 is the plug that connects to the distributor

And also, arent those wires hooked up to the NOS? therefore why would they be connected to the map sensor, perhaps its going to the TPS?

You can't really just ditch the a/c pulley because they are all one pulley, the crank pulley.

However, I believe the civic type R came stock with only a two ribbed pulley because they don't have a/c, so that would save a little weight. Probably not worth it unless you are going all out.

Actually # 3 looks like two wires going to the nitrous microswitch.

Thanks for all the info! I'm can't find the other pics I took so I may have deleted them or something. But, I'm going to get more and ask about some other things so I can better understand the motors and hopefully the swap will go smoother

Yeah, I look at his motor and look at some of your GSR swaps on here and like WTF happened to my buddies??? I have a really good feeling my dad will be helping me with the swap and he likes to do $hit right the first time. I know the wires will be put away nicely and the everything will be all clean looking
