I got a VX, Vtec-E, engine swapped into my '95 CX, (long commute), problem is they didn't put in all the bits to make it work properly. Now that Hivelocityhave closed does anyone know an experienced engine swap shop that can do some custom wiring, etc. to finish the job?

 

Altech

 

Ok thanks, I'll try them out, they're on my side of town too!

 

Splitfire the best and cheaper than alot of its competition.

 

Do not go to powerhouse they ----ed up the wiring in my buddies accord.

 

foreign speed

 

Is that a shop?

I saw your car at Altech, the Green stickered to hell EG Hatch !
Jeez, whats with all the stickers ???? Get rid of them !

Btw, that engine you have in there is pretty wicked for fuel economy.

 

Hi my name is John and I'm a stickerholic,
All my bicycles (7), tool boxes (5), motorcycles (2), cars (3), a door, a drum kit, and several drawers, are all covered in stickers. I must admit I did hold out for a while with the Civic because I really like it's lines, but then my addiction took over and I couldn't help myself
All the stickers mean something to me, and I think I have the most stickers on my Civic than anyone, when I post pictures I'll take anybody on!

 

But WAIT there's MORE!;
4 bicycles helmets, 1 Djembe drum, 1 lawn tractor and 1 minibike.
Just call me Sticker Emperor!!!

 

Thanks for the tip!, great advice, Altech and Joe are the real deal. He's really taken the time to figure out getting my motor swap to pass the E-test/Tax grab. There aren't many mechanics you can totally trust, but I totally trust Joe at Altech.
If I was into hotrodding my Civic instead of hypermileing (getting best mpg), Joe built a 10.22 second!!! CRX, which is the fastest Civic I've ever heard of, so you know he knows all about that!

 

I've gone through so many dashed hopes with my JDM VX engine swap into a Canadian CX.
This is what I've done; got the proper exhaust manifold with cat, brand new NTK 5 wire O2 sensor, cleaned the injectors, new rotor, plugs, air filter, put on EGR valve with solenoid and constant vacuum valve, had the O2 sensor wired into the PO7-AO1 ECU, today I took out the 2nd CX cat under the engine, tomorrow I'll put in a new fuel filter. When my mechanic played with the fuel pressure the code 48 engine light took longer to come on (45 seconds), with higher pressure than lower fuel pressure, but I can't get it not to come on! My mechanic told me that when it throws a code 48 (lean air fuel), the ECU goes into a default setting which is giving me bad gas mileage and terrible emission numbers for our mandatory Canadian emissions test.

Can anybody please help me? give me suggestions?,
We've triple checked the wiring, but the EGR solenoid and constant vacuum valve aren't the stock ones.

I've got to figure this out, I'm going crazy!
