Almost everything used was OEM. Sorry for the bad pics but these are the best I could get without taking things apart. Later today if I get a chance, I'll get better shots.
Just checked with my Tuner. A auto Ktuner ecu can run a manual transmission and will read any VSS. it has an option to select 1 of the 2 types of vss used so that it can interpret it correctly the sensor reading. I got to say, Ktuner is pretty nice !
That is good to know, I guess I'm going to be using KTuner.
I haven't been able to go to my car to verify, but I believe that on the auto tranny the VSS sensor is on the rear and the manual its on the front. So your cable is going to be a little short and you're not going to have a plug for the reverse lights.
Also, you're going to have a bunch of plugs and wires just hanging there. I have a brand new manual engine harness waiting to be swapped in but I don't know if I'm going to have to change out the dash harness as well. I don't really have a game plan for that.
I'd appreciate if you could take pictures of what you did to make the master cylinder fit, and relocate the harness that normally goes thru. If you got advises from experience too. stuff that you forgot or was not expected
I'll see if I can get some pictures tomorrow.
One thing that no one mentions is that the hubs need to be changed. It's easier to just get complete spindles from a manual car. Manual axles are thicker than auto axles.
Another thing is that you don't really need to replace the brake pedal, just cut it to the size you need. That will save you a ton of work.
Lastly, at least for me, I haven't figured out the wiring 100% that's why I want to take it to an experienced shop to finish that part. My car thinks it's in park all the time, speedometer and odometer don't work, and it only revs to 5K RPM. Make sure you know what to do with the wiring before you start it will save you lots of time and headaches. Maybe someone here that has experience with wiring can chime in and help us both out.
One piece of advice that I do tell anyone who asks about the swap is not to do it save yourself the headache sell yours and get a manual car. You'll most likely spend WAY less money that way.
You went thru with the conversion ? did you do it yourself ?
Yeah, the car runs and drives, but the wiring isn't finished. A friend of a friend helped me out with the swap but screwed me over. I hope to get back on track and take it to a shop to finish it this year. I haven't rushed to finish it since the car hasn't been a daily for about a year and a half and life got in the way.
I searched but I didn't find anything, but would the Hybrid Racing Tucked Fuel Line Kit (K-Series 02-05 RSX & 02-11 Civic Si) work on a 2004 K24 Accord? I know I would have to get the fuel rail but couldn't find anything about the fuel line.
I got rid of my grandfathered unlimited data plan yesterday and got a 10gb shared data plan with my wife and mom. Miss it already. I also got a galaxy note 8.0. Can't wait to try that out.
Bad move bro, you'll never be able to get that back. The day Verizon takes away my unlimited data, is the day I cancel my service.
We are in the stages of finishing an auto to manual swap and the car is running with the auto ECU and wire harness for now. The question is, I have this on the tranny and for the life of me, I can't figure out what goes plugged in there. It is circled in red below.
