Parts swapping.!!
*1* When both engines are out you need a to swap a few parts.
First of all you need to swap the Fuel rail for your usdm one. You can use the rail from the VTEC, SI or S engines. They are all the same. There are 3 nuts you have to remove. You will prolly need a swivel to get to them. Be carefull caus fuel will come out.(SO DON’T SMOKE WHILE YOU DO THIS!!!) Use the jdm injectors because they are bigger then any of the US ones. You can Send them out to be blueprinted but none of mine have been a problem. I don’t know about 5th gen ludes but with the 4th gen you can use your stock resistor box. It is in the driver side of the back of your engine bay.
*2*You can use the jdm distributor. All you have to do is remove the internal COIL, there are 2 wire connected to the COIL. The one with 2 connectors you keep and just tie the extra connector off. Make sure its not grounding out or you will fry your distrib.(I learnt that the hard way) Remove the second wire. If your carefull you can take a wire from an extra harness and use the same crimp connector. You need to connect that wire to the open connector, punch a hole in the rubber seal, and wire it into the open spot on the wire harness. Connect the extrenal coil and a external coil cap to the distrib and your set.
*3* You are supposed to swap the crank pully. The belts do not match up between the USDM and JDM. The US has one more row on the alt and AC. I didn’t want to swap the Crank pully this time because its actually balanced to the crank and I have had bad experiences with my rod bearings. The Belts still fit and should not have a problem.(don’t take my advice on that tho)
*4*Connect your Flywheel /clutch and pressure plate. YOU need to use the correct Torque specs or you will break off your bolts. Connect your transmission. Doing it yourself I suggest you use your engine lift to assist you lining it up. There are a few bolts on the transmission. Really easy. Disconnect them and pull it apart. There is a Flywheel shield that has 3 bolts on it. You need to remove these to remove your transmission.
*5* Exaust, you need to figure out what your gona do with your exaust. If you have a S or an SI you exaust will NOT bolt up. If you have a vtec downpipe you can weld you S or SI flange to yout Vtec downpipe and your troubles are over. Or you can buy an aftermarket exaust that bolts up.
*6* There is a water temp Sensor at the front of your block. It is not on the JDM. So swap it from whatever engine you have. Easy 2 bolts and a rubber gasket.
*7* Timing belt. I didn’t do it. SO I don’t know!
*8* Add your extra wires to your harness. Vtec wire, Vtec pressure switch, Knock sensors
More to come, Corrections needed. Additions Welcome
