So are you using a wiring diagram for this all or just experience? I’m so glad you have stuck with this build and videoing it all for us to see. I know the time put in can be frustrating but so glad your keeping with it man! Thank you.
Thanks for the support man, I’m using both my experience and some diagrams/directions. The conversion harness usually comes with instructions and engine harness is mostly plug and play depending on what setup you have. Much more to come! Next weeks video is already done and I ordered some parts for it as well
I desperately need to know how to wire up all the wiring. Chris, is it possible to make one vid with more detail walk through of how and which wire goes where kinda thing? Thx a lot
egchris92 There is only a few online but most are turbo'd and I want it NA for reliability. I'm gonna try and post my first video soon. I can only use my phone though.
heylo, any reason why you cut up the oem charge harness like you did? why didn't you just use it as is? serious question, I am not trying to knock you for your build. I'm in need of some clarity as my K-swapped EJ9 won't crank, but it will power on and prime the fuel pump :S
I cut it and separated it because it all falls on the wrong side. Rsx battery is in front and wouldn’t reach with the charge harness in tact . Check power at the starter, check your grounds, fuses...things like that
Most of plugs end up in the place they will plug in so it’s hard to mess up. The map sensor and the tps are easily mistaken Because they are in the same location and the plug looks exactly the same. Gotta pay attention to the wiring
Chris hope you’re doing good ! Question for you did the plug from conversion harness that you connected to the engine baby plug 11:47min (big one by the driver side ) came with the conversion harness ? I bought my conversion harness from hybrid racing and doesn’t not come with a plug that big do you know if I have to repin another plug to be able to connect it there? (To the big plug ) thanks
Doing great! Thanks for asking, yes the big plug, o2 sensor plug, temp gauge, and fan switch was all apart of this harness. Do you have me on Instagram? Send me a pic of what you have on there and I’ll be able to help better
Okay, also I just finished a k swap in my eg, it starts up fine but when it comes to driving it there’s no response when hitting the gas pedal and car wants to stall out and jerks, would you think it’s a bad tps?
Yes, I have a type s harness on my k24a2 and after using the base on this build I can say there isn’t much difference at all. You have to just re wire or change the connectors for the crank sensor and the knock sensor
If you want to be able to just say you have a kswap. The good engines arent cheap and all the wiring and mounts and kpro and everything else is redic. I shoulda stayed Bseries
Well that’s why I put this motor together, the price I got the k24a1 is the same price I’d get any 4cylinder engine at the junkyard. There just wasn’t a tsx there at the time. I did the vtec killer setup to get the most from the a1. Kpro is necessary but you can get cheap mounts and be just fine.

Yeah this is such a legit build and actually on a decent budget
I still need to break down the total cost
egchris92 I’m waiting on it
Another awesome video brother..keep em comin ..
Appreciate it man! Many more to come
Good job explaining the wiring harnes im really taking notes and tips the build its coming alone great Chris 💪
Thanks bro! Let me know if you need help with anything
@@ChrisBuilt92 i sure will Thank you

I could do that man, do you have Instagram? You can message me through there also and I can help
Let me set it up I will look you up thx bud
+1 on this, would like more detailed on engine side for when I connect my loom up 💘
Great video Broski. Can't wait for the start up video. Keep it up 👊🤟
Thanks man! Next week I should have it uploaded
Good shit my guy. Very helpful. Keep up the great work.
Thanks man!
Very detailed and it's motivating me to K swap my CRV 🤔
First gen crv?
egchris92 yep. 1998 Honda CRV.
Rico Espinoza nice, I don’t think I’ve seen those k swapped

I started with my phone man. I use both sometimes too
Dope broski awesome budget build man I’ll hook that harness up for you just lmk when bro bro
Appreciate it Dre, one of these days

Nice video, I am getting someone to do all the wiring for me, how did you initially work out all the plugs, looks soo confusing haha!

I think it's so great that you reply to people with substantive answers. I know a guy that just says look in the manual. Now that guy is a POS
mike3026 type of guy who would have a rat problem
So you need an Engine harness and conversion harness only correct?
Yes

also what year and model? Assuming it’s a civic?
What’s your Instagram Chris ?

Chris can you post the link to the sparks conversion harness u used?

This is for the 96-98 ek
How do you figure all this shit out..
Where’s the knowledge come from...
Research, experience, advice from others
Hey Chris, what happens if you don’t swap the pins for the tps sensor?
The tps will read opposite so 0% will be 100% and vice versa
Keep in mind this is if your running a base rsx harness
Okay, also I just finished a k swap in my eg, it starts up fine but when it comes to driving it there’s no response when hitting the gas pedal and car wants to stall out and jerks, would you think it’s a bad tps?
Makes sure your tps and map sensor aren’t mixed up. They are in the same area and plug into one another
can the base rsx engine harness be used for a k20z1 or a k24a2 swap into eg ?
Yes, I have a type s harness on my k24a2 and after using the base on this build I can say there isn’t much difference at all. You have to just re wire or change the connectors for the crank sensor and the knock sensor
@@ChrisBuilt92 thanks for the reply
@@atiserrot anytime
How did u route ur shift cables?
Through the secondary o2 sensor hole th-cam.com/video/YP4KEIaT7lc/w-d-xo.html I show exactly where in this video
@@ChrisBuilt92 did u route the cables under the subframe or between the subframe n chassis?
Believe it was between
@@ChrisBuilt92 did u also had to remove ur sway bar or u had enough clearance to install it?
@@Southsaccccc I don’t remember, it’s been a while, either way it’s not hard to remove or loosen to make clearance
Lol budget and kswap dont go together
It is possible
