it doesnt drive at moment. ive had to redo the engine wiring harness, im ordering a new rywire ecu and sub harness, new injectors, and it needs a full tune, along with new input shaft seals(oil seals) in the trans, new drive shafts and a new oil pan, its a slow build im going to start a build thread. the previous owner said it was a b16 trans, although ive been told it could be a YS1 trans as well. hell it might be just an LS trans. wont know i guess till i get it on the road thanks for the replies ---

thank you, it is quite the project. that i grossly underestimated when i purchased. for an NA high CR build, i plan on stage2 head or an ITR head, would you recommend 2-1/4 inch exhaust? ive been told 2.5 would be too big for NA build, not good amount of back pressure. ---

Thanks, im pretty decent at repairing modifying wiring so its a headache but its manageable. yes it is a disaster. I just yanked the entire thing and went to a pick n pull and acquired a stock( thought was uncut engine harness {the temp gauge and temp sensor plugs are missing} and started from scratch. I am going to buy a RY-WIRE ecu jumper with plugged sub-harness for VTEC. They have a option to list what motor is being used and from doing some research, the B17 or GSR motor and a b16 have a somewhat different wiring pinout or something and i just want it done right like it should have been in the first place. > [@93IntegraGS;2305506](#): > > Are your tires facing the right direction? The tread looks like it should be the other way. never thought to check that, good lord i hope so. I will be astounded if they are on backwards… wait, i probably wouldnt be astounded as per the IQ and lack of common sense the previous owners have shown they had. lol ---
