thats reYea probably, trust me man, the last 2 days i was ready to sell the fit as is, give up, and get back to normal life. I have spent about $970 for my rental that i had for 3weeks! If i knew that this swap would be this complex i would deff get a second car instead of wasting money on a rental.

 

I agree! Small car, big power, tons of trunk space, 4doors, cheap insurance, good mpg, no car payment.

Kinda hard to find that combination at your local car dealership

 

that is kind of funny you mention that. At the time my parents dint understand why I dint just rent a car and why I had to borrow my friends POS Crown Vic. I tried to explain to them the swap is not something that could be done in a weekend and it would take the shop time. There response was well maybe the shop is not very good.....

I am glad you are keeping at it and I can guaranty you, that first time you take the car out, and hammer on the gas you will not stop smiling.

 

Haha yea i hope so!

 

can we get some final product pics???

 

if it was finished, trust me i would post photos asap

today, the bumper, lights, and hood go on.

 

good job documenting this!

 

Yea I feel your pain on the time frame which this kind of swap entails. Sorry to hear about the harness. I looked at the diagram for the both the fit and tsx ecu and the layout is the same as far as the plugs go but its the individual pinouts spots that differ. Tell me about spending tons of cash. I had originally bought the Rex harness and ecu in order to do the dual harness. I heard spend less money for single ecu and be able to run flash pro (cheaper still) so I jumped on that wagon. Hahah yes I am the other guy. Luckily I have time to wait for the harness to be made. I would send it back to them if I was you. But I know your pressed for time. I was figuring you sent them the stock harness? Or did you just have them get everything for you? BTW, I saw how long some others took for this swap and just got a beater to roll around in. Lol.

 

You need to get a GoPro when you are finished and go out and race some Mustangs and put them in their place. lawl

 

oh don't worry, this will happen!

 

Make sure to keep it as stock as possible on the outside though, so when you pull up they will laugh at you until all they see is tail lights, then and only then, you can point and laugh at them.

 

its mostly stock.. cept the wheels, duckbill, and drop.

 

I always tell people on the street all i have is a intake a fartcan *trollface*

 

Man that project seems that it was a headache man but a the end its all well worth it and now you got a sleeper and time put those v8's in there place

 

Day 6

So i finally gave up... motor won't idle right, i spent 2 days trying to figure it out, so im got it towed to Suja1 Motoring.

you did the hard part, got the engine in there. Did you get the car sorted out or at least figure out what the issue was?

 

harness issues is dragging this build... voltage issues (where there shouldn't be) is a bish.

 

one of them yes, but there is also a mystery of why my power steering burned up, and my idle still surges non stop.

 

agreed! Im so upset with this!

 

Why you no port and polish manifold and cylinder head while engine is out!?
