6spd full of problems!

Well who ever said it was gonna be easy or even CHEAP! My lord, i am having to deal with problems that rain from the sky!!! The biggest is the ecu which the mechanic and i are to dumb to have thought of in the first. I'll be shellin out big bucks for either a 6spd ecu or an AEM complete programable ecu. This kinda sucks. I was told there had to be a lot of "reconstruction" under the floor panel and that i reached a stage where there's no going back now. I don't have a scanner or a d. camera but when it gets all done (hopefully this year!!! j/k) i'll post pics and if you think (like some others on this board) that i'm not gonna dyno this thing and squeeze every last horse out of my $$$, your a civic driver.

that's the latest

side note: does anyone know anything about the post about a 200shot or was that BS?

Man, I'm sorry to hear about all of the problems!

Good luck with the project! I know you REALLY want that 6-speed!

What kind of $$$ are you looking at with the problems?

should come out here to cali, i could get you the ems cheaper and have an AEM employee tune it. I knew the ecu was gonna be a problem, you need to find some techy to make a piggyback program to override it somehow. But the AEM EMS will do your work, but the tunning is gonna be a bitch and a half.

thanks for making me feel so good about the price i'm paying here. Just jokin. You know what fellas. I want this to be DONE! I hate sharring a car (even though it's my girls rsx-s). I really could care less (well kinda) how much this fawking thing takes. Oh yeah, Two days ago the cams were droped in (typeS). maybe i could rent a C130, push my car in it, and drop it out in cali? sound good and CHEAP!!!
j/k!!

i'm delerious about this 6spd thing by now. every day is a new prob.

well i hope all goes well (looks like it's not) with the project. I think this tops anything done on our cars so far. I miss seein your car on the weekend. Once you get the 150 shot you should be able to hang with the vette that kills everyone. Damn, just realized you'll be in the 12's DAMN!!!!! Good luck again!!!

What?!? Where did this come from? It has nothing to do with the conversation.Start your own new thread if you need to brag about your 175 shot.

I'm looking into doing a swap to an '03 CL-S engine, ECU, and 6 speed tranny into my '01 Accord.
So far I've been quoted 2 weeks work time and $1902.89 USD in labor. The hard part will be finding the parts for the swap.
