Project: KDA (Engine and Auto to Manual Swap)

[ahks]

i should post up some pic's of the cx engine i have on my engine stand funny thing... i unexpectedly grabbed all the parts for an almost identical build as his

92 cx block/head HF Cam
HF Trans

gonna rebuild this engine
re-ring
bearings
gaskets
cylinder hone

all i need is the chunk of wiring harness from ecu to engine bay and i wont even have to make a conversion harness

interesting.... if its not too late SVOBOY happy burfday to you to. Sounds like a swap is such a good present as well as the knowledge.

one more thing, i wish i had a lighter flywheel, my revs take too long to drop since I don't let the sycros do any work.

Darn!

Philllllllllllllllllll: You can prolly get a lighter flywheel if you wish it.

is it necessarily the flywheel? i have heard that the ECU limits rapid (non-load) RPM drops as an emissions control measure. sorry i can't point to a source - just some hearsay.

this could be true, but but a few of my friends have lightened flywheels and you can feel the difference while shifting up and down. heel toe is much easier and also shifting up is faster.

i dont see how rapid drops in rpm would be bad for emmisions...

kak what can I do with a flywheel if i can't do my own oil change :P

wee roll it on the street maybe it can teach me something or two about coasting!

^^ i thought only electronic throttle position (like 8th gen civics) do that hmmmm interesting.

My Saturn seems to do something like this. If I'm moving at all while the engine is running, my idle speed is around 1200rpm's. When I come to a complete stop, the idle drops to it's normal 550 rpm's.

I know my 1988 Civic idles at about 1200 until I come to a complete stop, like Larry said.
