The Kswap Thread

is there a way to take the intake manifold without the water pump ?

Yes ..remove all the bolts from the inlet manifold....then you need to remove the threaded studs (double nut the studs and remove them) then you can slide the inlet out without having to remove the water pump

^sometimes i wonder why u dont have a K series yourself.
YOUR THE MAN.
Many thanx i did end up find the info also..

i tried giving u a PQ and it comes up with this mummo jumbo.'
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to _CRX_ again

OK guys. Have a problem.

My engine is idle hunting and I took it to my mechanic and he had a look over it.
He told me that it is idle hunting because of the choke. He said there is meant to be water running through it and there isn't hence why it is idle hunting.

Is he on the right track or what?

Your IACV is dirty or needs replacing

It doesnt need water to be run through it to work

You need a new mechanic ..he must be fossilized.

As Benny said, IACV or a faulty/dirty TPS/MAP sensor.

Yeah, he's not really a modified car mechanic. More of a general one.

Aiight, shall have a look at it next week.

Little diagram I made up for those of you who may be using a k20z1 gearbox and want a working speedo. The Dakota unit converts the high speed signal from the k20z1 box to a signal readable by clusters in kswap vehicles.

Thanks goes out to Benson for some of the info I needed. Cant believe theres not a proper writeup on honda-tech or k20.org about this.

note: Output 4 can also be connected to your kswap conversion harness that goes to your vehicles cluster. This way is easier because the plug under the drivers side dash is real hard to access. Using a Hybrid Racing DC/EG conversion harness connect Output 4 to the WHT/GRN wire.
As always refer to your cars ECU pinout diagrams and trace out the correct wire before connecting.

Beast ^^

Just an update.

Finally got around to checking the IACV out and it was dirty as.

Cleaned it out plus the throttle body and good as new.

Thanks for the help Benny and IVTECI

Good to hear Drew.
Although, I also do suggest you go looking for another mechanic. K-Swap cars and even newer cars are not for the general mechanics to look at anymore.

Thanx Mark. Was an effort and a half to undo one of the allen key bolts for the throttle body though.
Adrian from TODA sure put em on tightly.

Got any hook-ups for round our area seeing as though TOP ONE are a bit too far and Hanny's is expensive?
