Civic Si proportion valve:

On its way out!

Almost there, as you can see with the motor in the bay space is tight behind there:

Gone!

Ok so! I'v got options for this little bastard!

1. Soak it in C16 and set it on fire!
2. Use my 45mm and give it more holes!
3. Tie it to the back of my truck and drag it through the mud!
4. All 3 at once!

I am joking of course!:rolleyes:

Ok I think I've vented my ABS frustration enough lol!

I have an idea for the brake lines that doesn't involve bending and flaring.

Real men dont need abs :p

Surely you dont have too much more to do now? :)

Well after enough trouble shooting of the HR conversion harness and EK9 chassis combo with the fuel pump not priming together with no ground for the various sensors I finally got it to start.

Anyone who is going to venture into the K20 swap please do research before purchasing parts otherwise you will end up spending more than you would plan to and this swap is not on the "cheap" side.

I will get a clip of the startup tomorrow for you guys.

As promised a quick clip, sorry about the quality this "new IPad" sucks, my laptop's wireless connection is giving trouble so I had to record on my Ipad from my laptop. To me modern "technology" is there to lure us into buying more "technology" all for what? Yup you guessed it "paper"
