    Good info. When I upgrade to a P28, I'll be sure to remember that. I'll tell my tuner/chipper to make the IABs functional.

            Updates.

            I've been soo busy and soo tired lately. Haven't had a day to myself to just relax or anything. It's also been cold everyday.

            I called my local Honda dealer that I normally pick all of my parts from, and had them place the order for my timing components. I'll pick them up later this week.

            My ECU came. It's a JDM P13 (governed), and a member on here sold it to me. Thanks.

            Few more things to come, and I'll add pictures when I get a free chance.

                Nice work so far
                I agree with it being cold. Ive been working on my friends escort motor swap for about a solid week and i had to call it quits before 7pm because my toes got numb.

                  Thanks.

                  It seems as if every time I inspect my motor, I find something else that needs to be replaced.

                  Items left to get:
                  • Denso or NGK Spark Plugs
                  • Denso Spark Plug Wires
                  • 5.1 Quart Jug Mobil 1 10W-30
                  • Mobil 1 Oil Filter
                  • TPS Sensor
                  • Map Sensor
                  • Rear Main Seal
                  • Kaizenspeed Tensioner
                  • IAB Vacuum Box
                  • ECU Pins
                  • Driver Side Mount, Rear Mount, Transmission Mount


                  I'm planning on replacing the cam seals when the motor is being rebuilt.

                    My header arrived today. I had to stay home to make sure I received my already once missed package.

                    Any whoot, I'm going to pick up some header wrap, and wrap this thing like there's no tomorrow to ensure it lasts for a long while.

                    Pics to follow:







                    I'll spray it down with some DEI High Temp Silicon after it's complete. BTW, I'm making a gasket from Aluminum in the machine shop specifically for this application to the proper dimensions because these headers always seem to have a problem with the gasket going. I'm going to fix that. I'll see when I get in the shop which alloy and thickness I'm going with. Right now, I think I have some left over 1/16" 6061-T6 which I may use. We'll see. I'd rather use an 1100 or 2000 series alloy, but I have to see if there is some to my avail.

                        looks like you have parts in order.Are you going to do the rear seal too?

                          Yup. Rear and main seal are getting done.

                            Congrats man



                            Seems like you are going to get this done sooner than later. Happy for you! Working in the street sucks balls. I can relate.


                            Gotta give the nod for doing it right w/oem parts and the whole 9 yards. Nice to see you are not half assing it.

                              I was taking a look at your parts list, and I see you plan on getting a Honda T/O bearing and an Exedy clutch kit. Get the clutch kit first and take a look at the throwout bearing that comes with it, its usually an OEM quality part. My exedy kit came with a Koyo T/O bearing, which is likely what you'll get from the Honda parts counter.

                                Thanks for the kind words, support, and advice. It definitely helps out a lot with making it past the frustration stage. I want to drop it in now, but I sure as hell don't like half assed jobs. This is why I'm bing patient, and trying/planning a good documentation on this swap every step of the way. Now, I just have to get a few more things, and wait for Mother Nature to send me some good weather. I'll keep trying to make this thread as fruitful as possible.
