Oh man after the swap.. nothing exciting just a 22" resonator (instead of 18") and HID's .. after that im pretty much happy with my car.. maybe some more torquey cams and some head work.. im pretty poor now..

chris, soo when u planning on the switch?

Palayah8ta

So no one knows shit about IAC?

iTrader: (1)

Idle Air Control. yea i do??

Palayah8ta

OK heres the curveball.. does the 97+ prelude have a IAC sensor?

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

it should, but i think its in a different spot.

Palayah8ta

hmm.. i gatta figure that shit out..

PimpCL23

so... whats the biggest problem uve come across with this swap??

Palayah8ta

uhm.. just the IAT sensor.. everything else is simple when u order the obd2b to Obd1 ECU harness. it costs a little more, but its gaurenteed results..

Rywire.com sells swap kits with ecu, ecu conversions, and alternator conversions..

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

alternator conversion. smart

i heard if you dont get that, if have fabricate the mount or something. i use to know, but i forgot what exactley had to be customized.

Palayah8ta

yeaa.. im a cheater like that..

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

your better off. supraman had to have it customized.

SupraManAG

IAT? im still confused. Im too lazy to look it up and dont recall it off the bat. Some things had to be rewired. No biggy though. I bought the Haynes electrical manual for both cars. Is you need anything let me know n ill try to scan the pages you need. If you got the money then you can just buy the conversions but they can he rewired. No biggy

Palayah8ta

the IAT is this green plug thats sticking out of the Intake Manifold.. our CL plug is rectangular and the h22 one is circular.. my swapper said something about just wiring the iac directly to the ECU..

SupraManAG

IAC=Idle control valve. The wires should all be there. Just cut connector n rewire. IAT= have no idea. If you need a pic of the IAC just let me know. So we are on the same page your arent changing your harness. You are keeping the CL harness and doing add ons.

do they not know what they are doing?

Palayah8ta

exactly. i think the IAT is in the back of the F23 intake manifold, but the IAT sensor is in the front of the IM. i sent him this link :

http://www.accordinglydone.com/forum...hread.php?t=29

I think it explains that u just have to wire it to the ECU directly..

SupraManAG

lol
u made this seem so so hard. On the F series both sensors sit in a diff location therefore u need to make them longer.
thats what i just read on the link u gave me

SupraManAG

i dont think so but its good that he is staying on top of this
how much u paying for this again?
mine took 24 hours.

Palayah8ta

but thie plug is different..



he did the swap in about 7 hours.. im just waiting for a PS Bracket, throttle cable, and the fukin distributor/conversion..

SupraManAG

yeah but the wires should be the same. even the colors should match up. bright for + and dark for -

Palayah8ta

Gracias senor.. i will tell him that.. i might... *cough* might have my car back by tomorrow..

SupraManAG

After you get your car back I suggest you enjoy it but start workin on the things you have to do next.
You need poly mounts. Trust me. You need them. I suggest you do boltons and get a tune.
Tell me what u did with your p.steering. If you replaced the whole hose.

Palayah8ta

i already got the intake and header for a h22.. and the p28 is already 'tuned' for that..

ill find out about the PS for u.. im wondering myself..

btw. did u keep ur cruise control?

SmokinH22CL

the p28 is already tuned for your car?

EDIT: but you havent dyno tuned your car right??

Palayah8ta

i dont know wtf they did, but they 'tune' the ecu before sending it based on what bolt ons u have. Like header, intake, cams, what size injector, intake manifold and so on.. Its also socketed so i can take it to the dyno and get a more precise tune..

iTrader: (1)

gotta lose the cruise control... sadly...

NitiNiteZ

iTrader: (1)

i also got that 22" resonator under my car.... its nice.

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

not always.

Palayah8ta

Yea im going to do a ghetto rig for the cruise control.
The trick to get around the cruise control is to buy prelude pedals.. but im too cheap for that..

Cocoa

iTrader: (2)

Have it back yet?

SupraManAG

You can but the fucked broke my cable housing
i never fixed it
anyone care to explain why you lose the cruise?

Palayah8ta

Because the F23 IM has a spot for 2 throttle cables and the h22 has only one.. u have to ghetto rig 2 cables to one hook..

Palayah8ta

Hey the guy doing the swap said i need an OBD1 distributer.. does anyone know?

asianspec

iTrader: (1)

so its not done yet?

Palayah8ta

No some ass on hondatech sent me the wrong Distributor harness.. FukinA

iTrader: (2)

I read to keep the cruise control, you keep the f22 throttle body. I read that for the 5th gen accords. I'm curious to see what everything looks like so I can throw in some input.

Palayah8ta

i chose not to do that because i dont wnt to sacrifice precious HP but using my old throttle body..

Hey chris i bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...1252354&rd=1,1

Hopefully i can just connect the same color wires and get my car back in the next 2 days..

keithseymour

I'm pretty sure you'll need the obd1 dizzy. If the motor is JDM, you will need the internal coil Distributor unless you convert to external coil. the internal coil, JDM one is hard to find but it called the "t60"

Palayah8ta

im loosing my brain..


why is our distributor so wierd.. this is the phone call i had with rywire.com

Them: " so how many pins does ur stock CL dizzy harness have?"
Me: "4.."
Them: "so ur car is external coil?"
Me: " no its internal"
Them: "noooo if its 4 wires is MUST be external"
Me: "uhh.. really? but its not.. unless a lot of pple on acurazine is wrong"
Them: "its impossible... ya know i really cant help you.."
Me: *crying* "thnx"

PimpCL23

awwwwwwwww... its ok Danny... no cry!
