I've got a little bit of a project brewing, and here are some teaser pics:

D16A1 Blacktop: Some assembly required
The host: 1986 Civic one-off custom JDM Vtec Mudrod
So i've had this car for six years now and i'm finally swapping in some significant power. I've already swapped in a CRX Si setup, having modified my fuel system to add the CRX pickup to the civic tank, the integra high pressure main line, and the full harness for the injection. My goal is to maintain the original harness and add the necessary wires for twin-cam, including the emissions solenoids, ELD, VSS, cam sensor, and radiator fan relay. There may be more that I have forgotten but thats my incomplete list.
The mechanical of it is simple, integra hubs, mix and match stock mounts, timing cover mod, shift linkage. One thing I noticed when looking at the integra hubs is that they appear to be identical to the civic knuckles with the small exception of the wheel hub inside the wheel bearing having a larger inside diameter to accept the larger integra axles. Aside from that they appear identical. I should be able to retain my EF front brakes, as the brake caliper mount appears the same.
I'm good at wiring but there are a few areas that I am not 100% on, like the VSS wiring at the dashboard harness, and the third engine harness plug. Any of you blacktop swappers that may have some information on those two small bits chime in, I could use some advice, or links to helpful diagrams/pinouts.
Thats it for now, I will post some pictures of my VSS mod and I intend a full write-up at the conclusion of this project!
Cheers,
Mark
