No still haven't messed with it yet. Just replaced my tie rods and sway bar end links though And I think I need a new speed sensor because my speedo stopped and started working and stopped again. Wiring looks fine so I'm guessing it's one of the sensors. Easy to fix if that's the case. And yea the cruise hopefully will get figured out soon. Damn electrical shit...

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry I'm not trying to jack you thread. We tried to put the driver side axel in and it didn't seem like it wanted to go. We didn't force cuz I didn't think it was gonna go in so ill try again in a little while. Thanks again.

Srb how was it to install th richies harness and you don't have to change any harness's or th ecu correct? Sorry for all the questions just wanna get my car done so I can drive it again. Thanks

Srb

Yea that's correct. You use the same harness and ecu that you already have. Do you already have riches module? It wasn't very difficult to wire up. Just takes a couple minutes to get your head wrapped around the instruction diagram he provides, which is pretty clear. Just remember to plug in the speed sensors. I forgot to do that after finishing everything. There's 2 of them and they each have 3 pin connectors. You'll probably need to extend the the length of wires for the connectors in order to reach the speed sensors. Feel free to ask any more questions if you get stuck.

Are you sure that you are using the right axles? I know there was a time I got the passenger and driver's side mixed up and it wouldn't go in the trans.

06accord6sp

Thanks for all the help. I don't have the module yet I wanted to finish the car first. We got the axels to fit I'm just having problems finding pedals around me and I think if I get them from honda or acura you have to buy the bracket seperate? My pedals are riveded to the brackets. And also I'm usuing a accord transmission and some one said you have to weld a rod on the transmission for the linkages but I already have mine hooked up. Was just a little confused by that. I appreciate all the help

where can I find the richie module?

06accord6sp

How did u drill the whole out for the pedal i got the 2 smaller

06accord6sp

I got the 2 smaller ones. Sorry

fsttyms1

i used a hole saw the correct size and drilled it out with that.

06accord6sp

What did you do for headers on your swap because of the rear mount?

marinj87

looking to do the swap soon but still need to get all the parts together. do you know how much you spend on all the parts together? i have a budget of 3000 for my swap, but let me know thx

I would STRONGLY urge you to get richie's module if you can. He hasn't been around for a while, so I don't know if they will be made again. I did the true manual swap because I couldn't get a module, but it would have been SOOOO much easier with the module.

If you have to go true manual, then you'll need the wiring harnesses from the CL-S6. There are two body harnesses that connect to the ECU, and one engine wire harness that connects to the ECU as well.

That makes three pins that go into the ECU. You will have to get the engine wire harness no matter what. If the accord coupe if similar enough to the CL-S6, then you might get away with repinning the body harness connectors that go into the ECU.

I don't know too much about the accord, but I would just copy a build from someone who already did the swap. I don't remember anything about an E-clip, sorry.

If you need it, I can sell you the 2 body harnesses from my swap.

This, if I were to do it all over again, and the RV6 module was not an option, I would have just said fuck it and not done the swap. But then again, I'm a wiring novice.

06accord6sp

I kno this thread is old but I finally finished my swap but I have the cel light on and I was told that richies harness wouldn't work or something about a E plug. Is that true . Is there aanother way to trick the ecu to turn the cel off? Thanks in advance

fsttyms1

what is the CEL for? If everything is connected properly or there isnt an actual issue you shouldnt have a cel. Dont know anything about an E plug???

06accord6sp

Im not to sure about the e plug its just what I was told somethin g about the e plug in the ecu.. but the cellist on because I still have the tl type s ecu and wiring harness

06accord6sp

Sorry on my phone.. u ment the cel is on

Srb

I might be a little late on this, from what I can make from the recent posts, you have an auto type s ecu and harness? If so, Richie's module should work with that setup and you won't have any CELs. You're doing this in an accord though so maybe there's something else involved...did you look into the 6 speed obsession thread for the 6th gen at v 6 performance? That might have everything you need on there.

06accord6sp

thanks for the replies. i did the swap to my 02 tls sorry for not being specifing. i just wanted to make sure if i got richies harness it would get rid of the cel light .. i got the spedo working and the reverse lights and my car revs to i think 5.5k or 6k but no vtec basically running in limp mode.. but one of the shops around me told me that richies harness wouldnt work.. im also using a 04 accord transmission. thanks

Srb

I don't see why the shop would tell you that. Richie's module should work no problem...right now your speedo is probably inaccurate by quite a bit, right? Send rich a message, he should be able to help you out.

First off your going have contact Richie an tell him your setup so he can give you correct wiring info. I know this b/c my setup very different compare to another TL since i'm 99. I have done 3 different setup with Richie module an everyone was little different. ( 99 TL, 98 Accord an 02 TL Type-S )

Can you tell where you got that Reverse plug from in needed 1

06accord6sp

I talked to Richie the other day I was just making sure that it would work for me idk why the shop would tell me that it wouldn't work for me and I didn't wanna spend the money for it not to work lol. But I think the Speedo is accurate not sure thou cuz I didn't drive it to much (inspection is up) . What reverse plug? I just used the plugs I had n wired into them. So if I get the module it should be straight forward install and get rid of the cel n vtec should engage n every thing?

iTrader: (2)

Wait is Richie selling again?!

06accord6sp

He told me he would make me one cuz Its relatively easy for him cuz I'm using my stock 02 type s ecu and stock wiring harness .. I just wanna make sure the guy at the shop is wrong and the module will get rid of the cel light and my car will be fully functional and pass inspection

I have been thinking about going the true manual setup, if so I will be selling my richie's module. Just not sure how worth it would be to change it over.

fsttyms1

DONT listen to the shop. I have no idea why they would tell you that. The modules DO work. And since you used the accord trans you HAVE to use the module. You cant use the CLS ecu with that trans.

fsttyms1

Why would you if you already used all the CL parts to get it to work?

06accord6sp

Thanks for clearing that up for me I appreciate it. I'm gonna get the module but if u didn't is there another way around it or no cuz I used the accord transmission and the shop told me he can get everything working properly maybe he was just trying to get a sale bullshiter he kept saying something about a E plug on the ecu and he said he's on azine and knows all about richies harness

06accord6sp

My phone auto corrected me I ment to say but he kept tell me .. not a bser sorry

06accord6sp

I also have the accord ecu and harness from donor car but that's a 3.0l so I don't think that would work right cuz different timming and fuel right?

AznWay

iTrader: (8)

I'm talking about the pigtail that on the engine harness that plug into reverse. I just too picky an wanted that OEM pigtail


Should ask him for his AZ username an also how many swap has he done?

Karanx7

iTrader: (2)

Aww snap, looks like Richie is gonna make them again. Sweet.

06accord6sp

I had the plug from the donor car I believe my buddy was messing with the lights n Speedo. But it's don from rpm systems so Ik he did a lot of swaps I just don't get why he said the module won't work. But I'm gonna contact Richie again n have him make me on. It just made me a lil nervous cuz I was wondering why he stopped making them

Karanx7

iTrader: (2)

Go to the 6 speed obsession thread on and read ALL of the posts by Richie himself. You will learn everything you need to know about the module and if it will work with your setup.

Right now i have the richie module installed so I didnt use the cl parts.

06accord6sp

I just wanna say thanks for all the help my car is just about done i have the rv6 harness installed with no cel lights abd the car runs good the only part I have left is I need a bracket for my clutch pedal. What did you guys use?

assclown

iTrader: (1)

I bought my pedal used so it came with a bracket. That's probably your best bet.

06accord6sp

I have the the actual bracket my clutch is hooked up and bolted to firewall but its not bolted to the car because there's a gap.
