I got a few questions...
How come the check engine light is on?
with the ac not on it has a loupy idle..
Around how fast is it with i/h/e?
How come the temp gauge dont work when its warmed up?
When does vtech kick in?
when does the redline start?
is there anytihing i should look out for?
how much hp do these have stock? as in the engine thats in it right now.
i had an 89 crx dx auto, will there be any difference in the insurance rateS?
it has an act clutch in in and is pretty hard to press down, is that normal?
First things first, vtec= honda engine vtech=telephone
redline 7200
vtec kick in=4800-5400
101 hp to the wheels rated at 130 from factory at crank
98 ft/lb of torque
as for the clutch yes thats normal
insurance rates will be higher
check engine, lopey idle are more than likely do to an improper swap, take it to a shop and have them fix it
