How tight is the fit with that aftermarket IM? When I saw that I kinda wondered how rough it would be to get that JRSC in our engine bay. Would be hella sweet if we could get it to fit on the F22/3's. I know we have more space in our bays than the 5g accords do. Did you have to counter your motor forward at all to give it room or just barely fits?

Update: massive IM made it difficult to fit IAC valve from CL, it broke, have to go back and get a prelude one. Also, the CL power steering pump bracket from the CL didn't fit either, need to get 1 of those too from a prelude. Had a wiring issue also, and since all the wiring diagrams for the H23 Vtec are in japanese, it made it difficult to solve. Allan once again comes thru in the clutch and shows me the diagrams from the H22 guide since the head on the motor is basically the same as the H22a4, the wiring diagrams will help. Guess this is the price you pay for ingenuity lol.

Car went back into the shop to pull out the wiring harness to work out a few kinks, so no kills or vids till i get it back again lol. I must say tho, the short shifter with the H tranny in there feels awesome. When i used to put the car into gears, it felt as if i was rowing cuz of how much travel there was. Now theres not even 1/2 the travel to get into each gear, very tight. Can't wait to get her back to really let her rip

I saw your car before the engine was in and talked with Jae about it. Looks like an interesting swap, although I probably wouldn't have chosen the CL for it, no matter what my attachment is to it. I autocrossed my CL recently and the results were hilarious. I guess thats what you get from a suspension design that was released in 1994.
O yeah, and for anybody in the area, they do great work at this shop for amazing prices. As you can see, we take all our cars there now for all the work done to them, not just performance. In this case, the old van's AC wasn't working right.

Haha yeah some say it would be foolish, but i love it so thats all that matters lol. You can always change up the suspension and whatnot, anything is possible with the right amount of money as u can see.
What car do you drive? One of the ones lined up on the side of the shop for work to get done? You need to wash the quest it looks like LOL

Ya, the quest is really dirty. Its old though, so you can forgive it. 1993 model, first year it was ever sold. No airbags either . It also probably had a lot of junk in it as well when it was there. Right now the thing is at 195k miles or something. We're hoping it lasts until the big 200k.
Good luck with the project though! Any idea when it will be completely finished and driveable? If I'm bored, I may just stop by tomorrow and check it out, since I have to drive past there anyway when running errands.

not anymore, they've changed almost every component in those cars lol. I'm not trying to go full race, just something i have have a few spirited runs with from time to time and be unique with. Our cars aren't naturally sports cars, i know that, its been covered for years on this site. Thanks for the input though.
