OK, so the motor is in and runs. I used 99 Civic SI upper and lower radiator hoses. The motor came with all the Type R mounts, but for a 97 Civic you need the rear bracket and the engine mount bracket for the driver side upper mount as well. Those are the only additional parts that cost about $120 from the dealer. Now the only problem I have is the VTEC won't come on from the ECU and it only goes to 7k RPM before it cuts out. According to the 97 Type R factory ETM the wiring is correct. I have heard that if the knock sensor is not connected the ECU has a fail safe to only rev to 7k? Could that also affect VTEC not working thru the ECU? I direct wired VTEC and the car drives like a bat out of hell. Any info would be great. Thanks.
