Yes, it seems like forever. If i had the money to buy every thing all at once it would have been just a week or 2





Well i got the motor and trans in and every thing electrical hooked up and many of the hoses. Tomorrow is another day. I hope to finish every thing up top off, then work my way under the car with the axels and stuff.

 

Fsttyms1 Man i was looking at this at trancemission house when i was there and i think its awesome what ur doing. Your going to have a sweet ride when its done. Sleeper STYLE

 

wow...cant beleive i didnt see this thread sooner..i guess i'm 20 pages late.

few questions for you kris. where did you get the tranny from? are you keeping track of all the part numbers you used and are you gonna post a list? and do you know if the ecu in a TLS could just be swapped for the CLS6 ecu or would you have to completly rewire?

thanks, keep up the good work

 

You can get the parts list off ...about 5-6 accords have done this swap and there are about 4 threads about parts there.

It will be your best bet to swap the ecus. The few guys that keep their stock ecu's on accords wouldn't rev pass 5k because the ecu thought the car was in neutral because of the different transmission ..don't know how it works exactly but thats what I have read.

 

LoL maybe not but you have to remind yourself of Kris's luck

 

lol ....looks like my respond was edited .... oh well, I guess I can state where to get the parts list from.

 

Not sure how much wiring will have to be changed on the Type-S?? i know the 2000 the wire harness ends are completly different than the ones the 6 speed ecu has.
Yes im keeping a list.

The reason i went this route is for simplicity. Sure i could have used the existing wiring and stuff, but we really dont have any tuner shops around here that could help me with the wiring. (especially after reading some of the stuff the accord guys went thru)

 

I'm only a casual Azine reader, but man, this thread is better than a movie. DYING to see the finished product!!

 

Don't do that bro...you won't be able to see the finished product because you'll be, well, dead.

Joking aside, I would love to see the manual tranny "rock" during acceleration on a 2G TL. Be sure to post vids!

 

Kris, you start up the car yet?

 

Word.

 

It's

 

acutally your both wrong... its you 2 are and S

 

 

lol.. im sorry i couldnt help myself!

 

Nope still waiting for the starter. I have to put the dash back in yet too. I took the weekend off to go golfing

you joined a little over a month ago and have 174 posts. That doesnt mean you are a veteran and can call some one that has been here a year longer than you and 1000+ more posts than you a you

 

Pwned, n00b!

 

Owned!

 

yeah yeah... i knew the shit storm of people saying that back was coming... i just couldnt let it go! hahahha i was just messing with you guys.

 

but ya are a good sport!

 

Got the axles put in. I want to see if i can buy new boots for the lower ball joints before i button it up. They arent in good shape

 

playing around tonight and put the engine covers on. Seems like the hood closes and clears the covers (but not by much) im going to try running it on, I may cut out the center hood rail for more clearance.

 

You did use your stock axles for the tl-p right?

 

Yes, they are teh same part # (as teh 6 speed) and fit perfectly.

 

Why go through that trouble just to use the engine cover? Just run without it!

 

Because it will take all of 2 min to cut out so that the engine looks better with the hood open

 

Good news Kris about the engine cover. I didn't get one with my IM and I really don't care if I run with it or not.

Finally finished my intake last night (back from powdercoater). I'll post some shot up tonight.

 

Yeah I had to take my engine cover off because of the strut bar, it looks so ugly without it on.

 

You had it PC'ed?? Sweet.

a strut bar wouldnt fit with it on????

 

Which strut bar did he use?! I have a Cusco OS-type front strut bar and mine closes just fine.

Uhh ... fsttyms1 ... pics yet? We need to know!

 

Pics of what? need to know what?

 

believe it or not the hood closes with out touching






Manual tranny in and bolted up. Quite a bit smaller than the auto. Waiting for my starter, and need to make a intake or something. also going to redo all teh grounds with good ones


Clutch master cyl




shifter and cables (temp put in)

 

New pics of the wheel gap?

 

nice! A work of art!

 

I forgot to ask, did all the mounts bolt right up?

 

no its up on stands again, but there is more than normal

 

fronts no different, the right side is the same, the rear is different, but bolts in the same location, left 2 are different but bolt into the same location

 

DEYUM KRIS!!! crazy progress since the last time i checked your thread. still to the master

 

Got the dash put in tonight. Got 95% of the wiring pluged in. I have 2 harnesses that dont plug into any thing and i need to figure out what they are and deal with them, but thats for another day
