alright guys one more swap coming

i was able to pick up a j32a2 with 20k miles for $850 and its been lying around for months now. im starting to gather parts for the 6 speed but money has gone to more important things and i said to hell with it i'll do half now half later

sooo i'll be installing
1. j32a2
2. thermo-coated comptech headers (bought used in the bm)
3. UR pulley set
4. mugen thermostat and fan switch
5. P2R 4" intake
6. drilled + slotted rotors + new pads
7. SS brake lines
8. Progress Rear Sway Bar
9. moog endlinks

labor will cost 212.90 for a roundtrip ticket from cali for my cousin who is a mechanic he arrives on the 20th of this month so work will begin that week

 

Sounds good. Looking forward to some Pics

 

u should do it all together. easier and only doing the work once instead of twice. u got the ecu, and harness?

 

i kno but the engine is at my friends dads warehouse and its overstayed its welcome, i really dont mind doing the extra work

and yea i have the ecu, harness and gauge cluster

 

You're going to have to re-pin some wires, be aware.

IMO, 6-speed > anything else (S/C, Type-S, etc)

Edit: hey newb, trade the bowflex with cash for the motor

 

can you elaborate please

 

Its been a long, long time since i've looked at the connector pin-outs for the base vs. Type-S.

BOth auto-ECU's have 5 connectors, 2 running to the engine harness. The other connectors (maybe not all 3) are going to have wires in different locations for the same components, and you're also going to be missing some of those components (IMRC controller for example)

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure if the harness connectors are physically shaped the same, but most likely are. I know for a fact the 6-speed ECU and Auto ECU share none of the same connectors, not sure about the auto vs auto-S.

 

^---Also I think I messed up on the number of connectors to what, its been a while. I think there are 4 connectors, 3 to engine/tranny

 

i was told by Kris that the wiring would probably be were id have some trouble but nothing that wouldnt keep it from being undrivable. thats why i made the thread so i can get this worked out

 

Oh no, it will DEFINITELY be drivable. Just telling you be ready to either re-pin a few wires or simply cut and switch a few. The only ones you should have to touch are the the ones to the dash.

 

that wont be a problem

 

NICEEE...another member doing this.

Good luck bro.

thanks!

i really appreciate it man thanks!

 

No problem

 

work starts tomorrow morning

 

congrats man. original thread title

you got my # if you need help

dont forget to ground your engine. it wont crank if you dont have it grounded

 

thanks brah and you stole jcharged thread title! lol


question: VSA Delete in my situation. Pros and cons?

 

you dont need it with the 6 speed. i dont have one. richies harness enables tcs

 

i know but im not gonna do that swap till early next year probably, if i leave it off until then whats the worst that could happen? throwing codes?

 

id leave the tps alone for now. less headaches for now. just get it running like it should then tinker with it

 

i think im gonna be driving with just a filter on the TB till i figure this out lol

 

The CL-s6 didnt have VSA. I wouldnt attempt to add it to the 6 speed.

 

hes not going 6spd now, he just want the s engine in their with the auto trans

 

i know its dumb and unnecessary work, no one remind me please lol

 

i need torque specs! does anyone have a helms manual? i should of got one

 

yea you should its alwas good to have one

 

well we got a lot done today but rusty bolts and mother nature didnt help at all. the engines ready to come out tomorow morning, its going to be a lonnng day

 

hurry up so you can make it to the meet.

 

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPP

been searching, cant find the torque specs, putting everything back in tomorow morning

just need for the crank pulley, pressure plate, tq converter and tranny :surrender

 

k the crank pulley is 181 ft/lbs :check:

 

will a accord 6 speed fit on the j32a2 engine? and what year of the accord tranny will fit?

thanks

 

03-05 accord trans (might be to 08) but it doesnt have lsd.

 

how about the new tl tranny fit?

 

^ The 4G? Highly doubt it. Totally different engine...

 

DC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I didnt see you're car at the meet until you reminded me of the swap, how's it coming out bro?
