Re:SiR swap help
I saw that you were thinking about getting your engine from HMS. Bear with me... I got a b16a from Honda Moters Online and would NOT recommend them to anybody looking for an engine inporter. They broke the valve cover pulling the engine and then when I called him he said I signed the package so I was SOL. ALSO, I asked not to have the axels but the rep reasured me the intermediate shaft was still part of the included package. Called again, they told me once that sig was on the shipping reciept, tough ----. They wont stand behind thier promises and Ive made it a point to tell anyone who asks to NOT do business with them. Sorry for the rant

Re:SiR swap help
I hate companies like that. Damn honda dealer was doing an oil change on my car and the oil filter wrench they were using hit my t-fitting for the oil press sensor and cracked it. Eventually it lost its structual integrity and started pissing oil all over my block. When I went to honda to complain, they said "proove it" more or less. and said that i was SOL. I decided to remind them that within the previous 3 months I have spend close to 2g there buying new parts and they didnt give a SH*t. I never have been back to that dealer since and I will only go there to test drive a car and then will tell them what they did to me and to go Fxxx themselves.

Re:SiR swap help
tell me more about HMO, this worries me since they are the one I'm really looking at, they get a new shipment in on july 23rd. I found a local shop that has the engine they could sell me for $2000, but that's pretty damn expensive compared to HMO for $1400.
anybody got any suggestions about where I could get this motor?

I got my motor from Hmotorsonline. One of the axles was blown and one was ABS and the other wasnt. The motor was in good condition and all sensors worked. I have heard they get there motors from www.Osakajdmmotors.com but that might just be a rumor. I have also heard good and bad feedback from people buying from osaka

Re:SiR swap help
for those who care I sent money for a b16a1 on monday to kErO-916 on here.
so far I have found someone to buy a starter, alternator, distributor, ecu, and fuel pump from, and I was wondering if I need new cables of any sort, such as clutch and throttle, and if I need new ones, which ones do I need to buy?

Re:SiR swap help
no, I'm not getting a harness unless you have one for cheap because hasport charges too much for the dx one and if I'm going to be wiring for dx-si I might as well wire up vtec while I'm at it, and the ecu I'm getting has 1 wire vtec hookup, so all I'm really having to worry about is the dpfi-mpfi convo

Re:SiR swap help
that's all I plan on doing, so I hope that's all that's required. anybody know how to do it with radio shack resistors rather then a resistor box? if not I'll figure it out eventually, and does anybody know about those cables?
