Think he is just some random asking a question to us, anyways the motor is in.. looking to start it today or figure out my wiring is all beat...lol..Either way it should crank today. Here is a pic with it just handing there.. hood closes.. so thats good..one question tho... it looks like the alternator isnt going to fit at all... I realize ef guys have to make a dent to clear the pulley... but.. man it looks really really f**king tight..obviously i put the motor in.. no PS or no alternator (or brakcet attached).. so its hard tellin not knowing... but IDK... doesnt look like its going to fit.. im using civic si 99-00 post (what attached behind the timing belt cover)... and then the stock ex bracket to the single post stock ex motor mount... and on the passenger side.. its stock ex... stock ex rear mount with 99-00 si t bracket.. so I should be good to go right? oh well heres a pic ill find out more today. Thanks guys.

okay update.. car is almost done.. i cant tell you you how much trouble i had getting the old b***h pin off of the integra motor (as I cut the linkage off cuz i couldnt get it out when i pulled the motor a year ago...) I ended up drilling it out.. 2 hours down the drain today.. another hour and half figuring out how the HELL that rear motor mount t bracket goes it.. cuz it was too much of a pain to be left on the motor or attached to the mount when putting the gsr in...So now tommorow.. I have to wire IAB (which ive found pretty much all the info i need on the subject..and figure out which wire on the integra dizzy is for the tach... cuz IM using 97 ecu... to avoid immobilizer...and wire that into the ecu... One QUESTION regaurding that... do i wire it in to the conversion harness or directly to the ecu? im guessing it doesnt matter....need some info on that... Put the axles in.. the new shift linkage..plug the ecu in and see how bad I screwed everything up...LOL! I must ask tho...when starting this motor (it had oil sitting in it the whole time it was in the garage.,.)...so I just.. remove spark plugs.. crank till oil light goes away and put plugs back in and then im good 2 go on starting it? And also Im throwing this diagram in... because its all expanded.. but are the things I circles... do they go to the can thats under the support bracket for the intake manifold? I dont see any splits and stuff in the civic like the diagram shows(3,15,16) so does 16 go directly to that black canister? cuz Ive ran out of nipple ends to hook vacuum lines up to lol... THanks again for all the help. will upload video of me popping vtec open header style tommorow or next day hopefully!

So I need some help.... after i got everything wired in.. the damn lower ball jounts just kept spinning and spinning... said f*** the boots... used a pickle fork...still couldnt get em off.. therefore cant put axles in.. the last thing i had to do..and I still dont have a car..so i figured.. f*** it... I got everything hooked up... threw the battery in, got in...chk engine as I knew it would.. cuz neither o2's are plugged in... no speed sensor plugged in.. just wanted to leave it in neutral and see if it started... I know my injector plugs are in correct order... timing belt never came off... and was running when i pulled motor... all wires are extended... plugged in.. and heatshrink and elec taped to death.. so they are shielded correctly.. I was meticulous when i I did the distributer wiring since i had to scalp the plug off my integra harness ...matched all colors... wires were butted using blue crimps... I hadnt shrink wrapped or taped em yet cuz.. well I wanted to see if it started... I havent run the tach line yet... cuz.. I didnt really care i just need my dang car back..but iab wire is ran to ecu..(red wire) and the black/yellow is going to manifold as a ground....I have my tranny to car ground wire hooked up... and the one off the valve cover to the radiator rail.. hooked up....NOW i plan to go over my my wires again in the morning.... take all the grounds off...wire brush them...I didnt have time to check for spark cuz my ride showed up to get me...and i was getting VERY frustrated after NEITHER lower ball joints would come back out...(anyone wanna run me through some.. IDGAF methods to get that damn 17 castle off the damn lower ball joint so i cant atleast put my axles in...? like I said pickle fork destroyed the first boot i tried it on and still didnt help getting the castle nut off)

but heres what it did when i tried to start it...it cranked slow.. then faster and faster.,.. at one point the speedo was jump up to 20mph and back down to zero...I hear a clicking coming from the ecu/relay/fuse area on the passenger side... when i was cranking over... I could hear fuel pump engaging....now things I dont have plugged in are.. neither o2... no speed sensor...its not even in tranny (cuz i cant get the axles in.. there fore i dont want to drop my syncromesh in yet...)... and the intake air temp sensor.. isnt plugged in cuz the intake tube is off. Now maybe its all that that wont allow it to start but I figured the clicking would give ya'll some clues...Id appreciate it...fellow honda lovers... some help before i commit suicide lol...Ill be all over this thread all night....thnk you.

It should at least start, run. It may run like s**t but it should run.

Timing
Fuel
Spark

Make sure they are all good and get back to us

I've seen tons of motors pulled and shipped come with timing belts off by a tooth or two. If it ever pops off for any reason, they guy selling it will just put it back on, they don't care.

Check both mechanical and ignition timing.

Has spark.. timing is correct and I can smell fuel from the header... I tried plugging iat in, speed sensor and the first o2...no difference...when I try to jump the ecu it just flashes 1 over and over and over....so idk....im lost now. maybe I have the plugs wrong? and oh which o2 do you have to extend.. cuz...mine reached just fine.. the first one anyways.. off the harness... let me know.. thanks! also cleaned all grounds... no help.. and the reason I know timing is on is because it was running in my integra and I pulled the motor.. plus both the 'up' arrows point up at the same time

ALSO.. clicking is not coming from the fuses/relays by the battery or ecu... but.. between them... is the only way I can describe its location...
