Wiring Information:

http://b16a.honda-perf.org/theswap.html
AC Information:
Brackets from www.hasport.com
or www.placeracing.com.
Belts = you will have to test and try out different ones. Generally
is shorter than original D16 belt.
Things I've learned:
-
If you use a HASport mount kit, be sure to follow instructions, specifically
make sure you hammer a notch for the radiator.
-
Make sure the wiring for the O2 sensors aren't backwards. 99% of
the time, most people will just add the one wire for the second O2.
What you need to do is flip the two... you would think it doesn't matter,
but it does. Car ran bad when it was reversed.
-
Do yourself a favor and get an 8 mm punch to take out the "bitch pin".
This is the pin that holds the shift linkage to the tranny.
-
Be sure to ground the engine after the swap, or else the car won't start.
