Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have been a honda/acura enthusiast for a long time. I just purchased my first k series car, the ep3.... I bought the car with no guts...i.e. motor, tranny, ecu.... I have now purchase the factory motor, tranny, and pnf ecu and I'm about the start the install. I have not done a install on a k series car, but I am not worried. I'll update this thread with pics and progress on the car....

I grew up on the north side just outside the city limits, out on Rivoli up near Bass Rd. But now I go to Mercer and the parents just moved near Tattnall Square Park so I'm in their house for the summer (I live on campus).

Finally got this thing running! not to good, but running.

This is the rundown:
*K20A3 from a Base model RSX
-PRB manifold (P2R Gaskets both)
-Tbody from a RSX Base
-stock header and exhaust
-stock inj

*Original 5spd tranny (cant believe i found it)
-Exedy clutch kit

*KPro - (also have the PNF- not key matched though)

*Still need a intake or stock box.

Let me tell you whats happening right now....
The car is running really rich (at least the blk smoke is telling me that coming out the exhaust). It is also reving to 4k and no higher.... I have two DTC. One is primary O2 malfunction. Kpro shows no voltage or anything. The other is for vtec system malfunction. I found the Vtec problem. The clip to the vtec solinoid is broken. I have one coming in soon. I hate to purchase a $200 dollar O2 sensor and that I dont need. Any suggestions??
