I'm not new, but I'm back :)

[StilAHondaFreak]

Hey everyone! Like the title says, I've been a member for a while, but, after a slight hiatus, I am back

Just picked up a 95 DX coupe for $600 bucks, needs a new head, but, I just picked that up too

I still have my 92 Si hatch, but, due to titling issues, Wife say "eff that car, here's $400, go find something you can register" Borrowed $400 from my Step-Dad, and after an epic clusterf#%k of a weekend, finally came home with the coupe

I have already snapped 32 pics lol, I'll post them up a lil later, along with a few questions I have, but wanted to get the re-introduction out of the way

FYI; I am an ASE certified former Honda Tech, currently a full time stay-at-home dad. I would be more than happy to bestow upon anyone who needs it, my knowledge and personal experiences

Thanks y'all, talk to ya soon.

Not too far from you, actually... Sorry, that's as much detail as I'm willing to admit to at this time

My $600 Coupe

 

[StilAHondaFreak]

Wholly crap, I'm fairly new to imageshack :/ Sorry guys

 

[Blayze2010]

Looks like a good starting point

 

[StilAHondaFreak]

Thanks man! I have everything I need for the 5 spd swap, minus the key ingredients Should I swap out the inside harnesses and just transfer everything from the Si (When I find a Tranny Clutch and flywheel)? Also, The B7 will run on the Z6 harness, right? I have done several auto to manual swaps, but figured if it'll work, I can avoid the hack job wiring and just keep it all factory

 

[Blayze2010]

I would think the harnesses would be the same, minus the automatic connectors. But im not 100% on that

 

[StilAHondaFreak]

I just figured if I use the z6 harness off the Si, It'll have the proper wires for the 5 speed swap, and, should I decide to do a mini-me, the vtec wiring is there to And using the Si cabin harness will give me the proper wiring for the clutch switch rather than the "hook these 2 together" and possibly accidentally start the car in gear LOL

the only difference would be the vtec harness im pretty sure. what head are you using?

 

[StilAHondaFreak]

Gonna be using a PM3-16 for now I've read in several places that code is a JDM ZC head... But, I doubt it... Car is a bone stock unmolested d15b7, but, somehow, the previous owner managed to snap the cam at the gear and ruin the head :/ No worries though, I'm still gonna have a running car for under $650, can't complain

 

[sohclubkid]

its a non vtec head, so i wouldnt worry about swapping harness.

 

[StilAHondaFreak]

I know that, I was just gonna swap it when I did the 5 speed swap, so the speed sensor and reverse sensor would plug in, and, seeing that green connecter dangling there will probably bug me enough to do a mini-me lol

 

[MistahJuice]

Changing out the under dash harness is more work then just doing the auto to manual wiring at the shifter console and then just running 2 wires off the reverse light switch the the shifter console as well. Though If you wanna hook up the clutch safety switch you'll have to hook up your own relay. There are a bunch of write ups online

 

[StilAHondaFreak]

I don't mind extra work lol If it weren't for the airbags, I'd make it a lot easier on myself and just swap the dash, but Insurance would go up :/

 

[Failsafe88]

Your insurance actually checks to make sure you have airbags?
