K Swap Honda Civic EJ9 Project - Episode 16 - Engine Wiring - The first start did not go well !!!

[@BoostedDevelopments]

Weird problem with the engine man hope it gets sorted. I used them hardline adaptors on my ek I didn’t have a problem at all with them bro they worked brilliant. You’ll get there man 💪🏻

Pretty sure it's the timing out, will find out this weekend when we pull the engine out and get the cover off it. Yeah those hardline adapters are causing grief, return line went on sweet and no issues. Feed line, the first one the fitting was really tight on the pipe and the olive wasn't able to fit over it at all, just purched on the pipe, that got crushed the wrong way. 2nd one seemed to go on fine, possible that its just not right enough as did that one once the engine was in and where I cut the pipe low in the bay it's tricky to get to in order to properly get some grip to tighten it. Fingers crossed the new chain n tensioner sorts the timing, and good nip up on that adapter sorts the fuel line out🤦🏼‍♂️ but you know how these things can fight back!!

It's me from the future, got it all sorted, blue wire for the fuel pump, new timing chain and tensioner, re timed the engine, the non starting in the end was down to the cam position sensors being loose and seemingly the wrong way round?? We never touched before, but she fired right up after that👌👍

On A connector which cables colors and positions did you connect the rpm and eld wires from the conversion harness? I’m doing a k20a2 with bwe harness on ej9 too

[@captainsvlog]

I cant even remember to be honest, and I never wrote it down, BUT if you search the for wiring diagrams that Hybrid Racing supply with their harness, they show the colour codes and that is what I went with, as the colours of the wires is the one thing that DIDNT change between pre facelift and facelift cars.

also, It looked as though my car didnt have the ELD function from the factory, as its not present in the fusebox, so that wire is just taped up.

I’ll take a look, I’ve connected everything like they said on the guide but I’m having eld error code on kpro and rpm not working

What injecters u runninh

[@captainsvlog]

Whatever the standard ones are, it's a factory EP3 Civic K20A2 engine. No need to change them with the setup I have here, unless they fail of course then I'd likely upgrade to higher capacity injector👌
