last Sunday I decided to go on a 6 hour round trip to visit Chris at Hondanutz as he was selling a vtis kit in blue. drove down setting off early morning and spent most of the day at his unit swapping a few parts over. Top bloke really knows his Honda's. He's got a mint vtis hatch along with a few other nice motors.
along with the vtis kit I ended up swapping rear bumpers, the bonnet and boot lid as they were in better condition than what I had on, the drivers wing was also swapped so no more dented wing! happy days.
after all that driving as soon as I got back I started putting the rest of the parts on.
got a great picture but I can't upload it because it's over 4.88mb and my photobucket isn't working!
epic trip mate! for the photo, google "johns image converter" which is a free program for resizing images. i use it all the time, can do a whole folder of images in a couple of clicks (and can keep the originals too). give it a go bud
and the Coolant temp fan switch in the water housing,
to test the fan to make sure it runs, use a paper clip on the plug for the fan switch and then turn ignition on, your fan should spin, if it doesn't its your fan thats broken.
Updating this topic. It can be closed. I have a working engine under the hood now.
After I relocated two wires for the grounds I got a MIL. The D14 was missing some sensors witch the D15 had.
So I had working ECUs that were better than the D14 under the hood. Only solution I was thinking of was a engine swap.
Cause the D16 was already waiting and the D15 had to be dismounted first I went for the vtec engine.
On a saturday spending around 11 hours I had dropped in the D16Z9. I left the original gearbox for now. It's 9A. Let's see how it handles.
This weekend I worked on the wiring. D14 had two plugs under the hood. D16 engine wiring had 3 and D15 had 4. Not sure why so many.
There are some things to do. But the engine started.
