ok to answer one question....i shifted into fourth cause i topped out 3rd at 90.

ok a 94 vtec engine has square connections, the ones on my stock harness are round.
i couldn't use the vtec injectors cause the plugs were different. couldnt use my old 1.6 injectors with the vtec fuel rail. the 2.0 injectors happend by mistake cause they fit in the fuel rail and the plugs where the same as my stock harness.
now i run into a problem with my distributor...the motor i got didnt come with one. so now i have to use the one off my old engine. ok no big deal. yeah right. i had to remove the valve cover and put the top part of the collar that the distributor goes into from the old engine. ok now my valve cover doesnt sit right cause the collar from the old engine it taller than the one from the vtec engine so i modifyed the valve cover as needed. ok now i can only get on bolt in to hold my distributor on (im like whatever at thiss piont in time)

but i got her all together and she moves pretty good for what it is and how its running. it surprises a lot of people. there was a few other issues along the way but its good now. it gets some good 2nds and a little bit of 3rd if i get the shifts perfect. now also lets remember the my car has no a/c and no p/s just an altenator and water pump thats running off my engine. ;-)
