ITS ALIVE

Got the swap done last night!!!!

Holly crap this thing is fast as hell.

Only problems we ran into was
1 broke a water pump bolt off in the block. (Fixed that took 3.5 hours and about $15 in bits and bolt extractors)
2 O2 bung on my header is completely striped out. (Fixed with stock exhaust manifold from Z6)
3 Dang O ring moved out of place on the oil pump and we didn't notice it untill the motor was in the car and running. Then the oil started to spray out of the motor. (Fixed by taking the entire front of the motor apart in the engine bay and replacing the o ring

)
4 Code 22 Vtec pressure switch (Fixed by wiring it to the right color wire)
5 Knock senser (Fixed by hooking it to the right wire)
6 Geting pulled over during the first test drive. for no exhaust and no hood.
(cop was real cool and let us go with just a drive safe and try to keep the sound low. He told us his son did the same swap about a month ago on his crx and said my swap looker alot better than his sons

)
7 car temps went up while police where checking my info (not fixed yet but I know what it is the fan wires are not hooked up yet)

Me putting on the front motor mount.

Back motor mount

Shes running

Well congrats on the successful delivery!

Performing a successful motor swap is a close second to having a newborn child on the excitement scale!!!
