just wanted to check up on your swap. i'm guessing you opted to take it to a shop instead of diving in yourself. as long as they do a good job, you'll be happy. like i offered before, if you have any problems and need help just let me know. i'm pretty sure i ran into every problem possible while doing my swap and even made a few myself. lol.
peace.
peace.

what happened to him? and the greddy headers are a great pickup. if there cut already that saves a lot of headaches. good shit.

Matt. Do me a favor. I asked Shawn but he apparently forgot. Ask the performance shop where you have the car. I need a tune. I have a chipped P28. I need to reprogram my ECU and the Vtec controler. I dont know whether they need to rechip it or reprogram the existing chip. Ask them how much. Im looking to have it done in 2 weeks. Im installing my SS pulleys sometime next week, next weekend the latest and then installing the port n polished intake mani. Please dont forget.

u need a hondata s100 or chrome or neptune tunning program to mess with ur P28. unless u get a pre-programmed chip (like a skunk2one) then solder it on.

well the mechanic said i gotta do an oil change every 300 miles for a little bit, because of the slugde buildup in the motor because it sat in a jap junkyard for a while, but after all that, ill probaly seafoam it, clean out the injectors, Dist. cap and rotor, and plug wires.
the idle is kinda low but not a big deal. i just gotta fix some of the bugs in it.
the difference is like night and day. the car pulls so harder in every gear, even if its not smashed. i havent really beated on it yetthough . but i had a little fun with my 2 step launch at traffic lights.
so yea like i said ill get pics up soon. hopefully me h22euro-r and supraman can get a h22crew photoshoot going.

nah. you need a tune. you are running P28 and even though its chipped to H22 base map you need to get your car tuned. then ull get a real kick out of it.
last night I raced a RSX TypeSex. 45mph - 90mph run. I pulled next to him and we both gunned it at the same time. Stared in 2nd and once vtec kicked in I pulled away. 3rd was a stand still and then again once Vtec kicked in a pulled away again. Gear change at 7200rpm. At 95mph I was 3-4 cars ahead. Mind I had 4people including me and I havent installed the pulleys and p&p intake mani and no tune.
Matt next week sunday I think It would be a good day for a shoot. I should have everything in the bay by then.

ill look the code up, but as of now i know its just some basic ECu from a 92-95 nonvtec civic. could be from an LX, CX, or DX?? but apparently it might be the wrong ECU for my swap, so i might get the P13 i have lying around chipped.
heres a picture.
