It looks like he just bought a whole front clip from a wrecked rsx. If he had to re-wire the ignition I bet it was a nightmare. Those things are all computer-chippy and stuff. :P

I would think that you would just tear all the wires out of an rsx and drop them in. so really I dont think the wiring was that hard to to. its prolly a whole front clip just stuffed into a 4g. also the radiator is zip tied in. lol

If he didn't get the ignition and the engine together (or ecu or something) then I think he would have to get it re-keyed by the dealer. Some anti-theft system or something. Sport Compact Car put a rsx-s engine into a civic also, but it was a brand new Civic. Thing is, they only did the engine, since the rest of the Civic was cherry. They had to get the dealer to re-key it.

He definitely swapped the whole wiring harness. You can tell by the fuse box.
