hey i just almost completed a engine swap on my honda civic converted it from d15b4 dual carby engine to d15b jdm fuel injected vtec engine. the only wires i have to connect is reverse lights ac and ac relay but besides that iam driving it around no problems.
With the swap i prety much had everything but a complete wiring loom i had the engine and gearbox driveshaff which were the same as the one i had and gear stick levels which they were also the same as the ones i had.
The engine bolted stright into my car no problems but with the loom my mate had a front cut of a predule which is got when he put a h22a into his accord so there was the loom left over as he did not use it.
All the connection off the predule loom connected stright up to my engine but the fuel injectors loom did not. I had to use the jdm ones which i had from there. We had to connect the wires up to the computer as we cut all the sensor off the predule loom which was the biggest head f***
We had to install a external fuel pump as my carby engine had a fuel tank that did not let u put in a internal pump so i grab a external pump off a vn commodore which might be a over kill but works fine and for the fuel fitter i also got that off the front cut as the fuel rail had special connection. I also had to grab the main ralay out of the front cut as my car did not have it.
My car is running fine and have noticed the 23hp increase and i recommoned to all that have carby engines. as it only cost me total 1000 dollars to do this swap that was for the engine and frieght for the engine to my door oil and water air filter and so on.
I have pics for people to see just drop your email and ill send it.
