hey DC did you swtich out any interior harness from the type S?

 

naw. lol. i meant i wanted to take an engine bay pic of my own. i'll get one soon. Shhhh!!!

i know ur boi with the RSX-S couldnt believe it when you pulled on him

 

nope, just used the TL-S ecu and engine harness, everything else is plug and play

im not sure if its related or not but my ABS light is on, im not sure if its because of the swap or if i messed up something during my legend caliper swap

 

i couldnt believe it myself! lol!

 

oh icic cuz i've a 99 TL-P and im swaping a TL-S motor in it and some how one of the plug doesnt fit on the TL-S ecu =(

 

Oh damn ur gonna have some problemss, the tl-s ecu isn't gonna workcuz like phee said earlier its gonna look for a fifth gear that you don't have and a lot of wires are in different places like adamlee said earlier, take a look at the diagrams he posted on the first page

Did you use the type s engine harness?

 

yea i got the engine harness and i pick up a upper dash harness but now i guess i need to get the lower dash harness sigh

 

are you putting in a 6 speed or stayin auto? Ur really gonna have problems with that 4 speed I think. There aren't any extra or missing plugs on the engine harness that goes to the tranny?

 

im going with a 05 tl 6 speed and im gonna run the richiev6 module so i dont think i will have any problem with the tl-s ecu

 

if ur using richies module i recommend just using your stock harness in the 99 and buying an AFC neo and chanign the vtec engagement. it will be cheaper that way

 

oh but i guess its too late now cuz i took out the upper and lower dash harness and got the upper in and still waiting for the lower one to pull out from the type S

but thanks Phee for the advised

 

Hey guys what parts can I take from my tl-p engine, upgrade, and throw in my new engine? If any?

 

nothing. unless u want lower compression. for some sort . but the s has everything better than the p

 

Bawlz.. How about the valve covers? are they interchangeable?

 

should be.

 

DC,
I'm swaping in a 01 type s engine into a 01 clp.
I see I guy on ebay selling a type s, ecu,ignition+key,and immoblizer unit for 225.
Is that all I would need ? and do you know how to delete the vsa yet with no lights?

 

i dunno bout no lights, but my TCS stays on but i'll be pulling that light along with the d5 light that keeps flashing.

 

Sorry for the late reply, that's all you need, just take out the bulb if you get any lights

 

I used the type S engine harness but according to another swapper its not necessary

 

im doing the type s swap also, making sure on the info ive gathered,
i dont need to get a type s harness right?
and do i really need to get the type s gauges also?

 

coming very soon..

 

Just went through the thread, nice work. Keep us posted.

 

thanks

swap was finished today and i got the shop to throw it on the dyno, got 265hp 226tq

for those who know what they're looking at, does the graph look right?

wow, you went from 218hp to 265hp from the tranny swap alone?

 

Welcome to 6speed club

 

The graph looks good to me.

 

x2

 

Does your IMRC work?

 

well since then i've added an ATLP exhaust and high flow cat so lets say that adds 15, so i would of been at 233. so the swap freed up 32hp, sounds right

then again they were on two different dynos two years apart but im happy with the number

thanks guys i can peel out through first and second this shit is crazy son! lol

no i have it stuck open, that window switch is on my xmas list. is that still the only way to do it?

 

i forgot to mention that i was able to do this because I bought Phee's car. im putting my 5 speed into his and reselling it so hopefully i'll only be paying for the labor, $1,500 for a 6 speed swap

 

That's some sick numbers you have. That is something I would love to do but money will not allow. Congrats.

 

DC
How much did it cost you to have your auto ecu programed to your key ? when you first did you auto type s swap.

And did you "have to" bring the whole car there for them to do it or could you just walk in with the ecu and key in hand ?

 

hi richard, i took the car to the dealership to do it (it will run with your TL-p ecu, not sure if they need the whole car to do it or not) but i have an 'ilco' key so they couldn't reprogram it. So i went to a shop i frequent and they hooked me up. I forgot how much the dealer wanted but its ~50 i think

 

they need the car to do the programming the key to the ECU.

Hey DC, AznWay states that he didn't have to do any type of mods to make the cooling fans to run after the swap, did you have a problem too?

 

Thanks,
when I call around what is the proper way of asking what I want done.
Reprogam or reflash the ecu or ?

 

nope, no mods for fans

reprogram my key to my new ECU, if they don't understand that you should probably call somewhere else lol
