No i havent. But i PROMISE i will tomorrow. I got the clutch mounted tonight and got the tranny bolted up for good now. Tomorrow im going to be mounting the new wire harness on the motor when i get home from work, and ill do that first thing.

 

Thanks Kris. I know I'm a pain in the ass, but if this works, it could mean a lot to us slow 99 owners.

 

go kris go!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok I took off the Upper intake manifols and it will bolt on to the 99-03 TL-P intake. BUT the end 2 studs will have to be replaced also. They are 1/2 inch too short.

Also the lower intake holes are slightly smaller on the TL-P as opposed to the TL-S so to get the most you will have to port match them (or buy the tl-s ones)

 

Woooohoooo. Yeah I knew the studs were too long. Those were a few of the things that were different from the TypeS to the TLP.

Kris, you are truly the man. I thank you immensely for all your help with this project. Any word on the core return? PM me.

Neil

 

niceee

i have a j32a2 also kris!! lol

 

Is yours bolted up to a 6 speed yet???

 

Mine is at the engine builder ...meanie!

 

home from work? this done yet?? lol

 

Well i installed the wire harness and discovered that 2 conectors are different between the manual and auto engine. The TDC (manual conector is 3 pin plug, auto is 2) sensor is different and the CKP sensor is different (6 pin conector manual, 4 pin conector auto)

I cant locat those sensors in http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...prddisplay.jsp

 

fsttyms1, where can i buy a new cl-6 ECU?

 

www.car-part.com ...or you can order a new one at www.acuraautomotiveparts.org ..but they are pretty expensive new, and hard as hell to find used

 

Or just like he said ^^^^

If your going to get it new, i highly recomend http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...prddisplay.jsp.

Ive bought all my parts from them and they have great service and are very quick.

I used this to find mine used.

Kris,

The sensor is in the timing belt cover... Not sure on how to get the pics and links set in here so....

Yea i found that one the other one is with the oil pump illustration.

I need to figure out what the difference is between the Auto motor and the manual motor Crank position sensor. They wat 500 bucks for that fu#$ing thing.

 

What i want to know is what genius decided that teh Manual motor needs a 500 dollar crank position sensor, and that the auto motor needs a 90 dollar sensor. Id like to meet that Prick and

 

UPS lady came again and delivered my dash harness today also.

 

^^

nice!!

 

Dang, how much have you spent on this project alone. Are you going to order the $500 crank position sensor?

 

Ive got more than planned, but i think Im around 4200. Yea i ordered the sensor. i had too, because some IDIOT found it necessary to put that sensor in.

 

glad I wont have to get that sensor thing..

 

I'm guessing you pulled your motor from a 6speed CL?

 

no, no ...not using the cl-s 6 ecu, using a standalone which comes with its own crank sensor

 

Oh okay, didn't know you were using a standalone ecu. Forgot its turbo

 

yeah, but I can't wait to see kris' finish product man! It's amazing how he can do all that work on his own. I thought it was amazing when I saw the spoiler he made, now this? True pimp!

 

Well i got the old shifter out and test fit the manual shifter. Fits like a glove! Im now working on rewiring the dash.

 

nice!

 

At this point, Im just wondering why they didnt make (at lease import) manual TL.. THey must had it in Japan.

 

A manual 2nd gen TL never existed. And 2nd gen+ TLs are made here in the U.S. All TLs sold in Japan were imported.

 

It shares its Genes with the Accord. The accord came in a manual in the 4 banger.

 

Looks like you're making great progress, Kris!!

 

You aren't wasting your time with the stock clutch are you? If you've already got the entire thing ripped apart go with something aftermarket. It's not that hard to slip the stock clutch after some hard driving.

 

man, let me first off say nice work... i just started reading over this thread yesterday. You sir, are a god. I was thinking.... are you interested in getting navi?? becuase if you are, you should get that now, while your whole dash is taken apart.... Someone on here posted a link to ebay were a navi was selling for like 300 with almost everything you need. Good luck with the rest of the project, I cant wait to see the finished product!

 

I am sorry Kris. But I haven't been keeping up with your progress and kind of too f*c up to read everythin. Did you finish doing the swap??? If you did, congrat man, you the fricken man for doing it hahahahaha

 

Yes i used the stock clutch. Considering the only thing out there other than stock was a 1200 dollar comptech clutch i didnt need to spend that much money on a clutch.

No not yet. Im on the home stretch. (After i get my FU*@ing sensor. i hope)

 

Fair enough. In 90 Days we are supposed to have an upgraded clutch and pressure plate from Competition Clutch.

 

Wish there were more options out there for the clutch. I dont know why other companies havent made any??

 

I don't think there's a problem finding a disk to fit, it's the pressure plate that's the problem. I think Spec Clutches and ACT also have disks that will fit.

Competition Clutch is making a pressure plate as well though.

 

Guess i should have been more clear. Clutch kits. There are just none out there. Something so trivial as a clutch kit and only (up until now) comptech makes one. This should be a thing available to get at any parts store, but its not

 

Man you are the man. you make it look so easy.. so im asuming you will be converting to a hand E-brake and not the pedal since the clutch pedal is there now. hmm. man i cant wait to see how this turns out. keep up the good work man. were all behind ya and cant wait.
