Well now thats the easy way out and I am not known for taking the easy way out...besides this is a chance at doing something no one has done as of yet.

Its called custom for a reason and the only reason I posted about it was to get a view of some of the possible technical issues I may run into.

 

The problem I am running in to right now is procuring the parts. The problem is not availability, rather the willingness of my wife to let me have enough money to convince the current owners of the parts that they should give them to me... I'm afraid that it will be a long road, but I will submit any details that I can.

 

Hey wait i just noticed your in Salem...need some help in this project?

 

Well, just funding it... I work at a Honda and Acura only shop (see my Sig..) and have lifts, cherry picker, tools, parts suppliers... just no money

 

the newest j engines also have a drive by wire throttle control so that will be a problem putting the newer engine into the 5th gen accord. maybe a obd1 nsx computer would work????

 

You should just be able to use the ECU from the CL, and swap over the throttle control too. I mean, it still uses a pedal, right? just use the same sensor...

 

the throttle in the newer cars does not have a cable. it is drive by wire... that means you gona have to swap over the throttle pedal, the sensor and run a bunch of wires..... a waste of time imo.... then you'd have to figger out how to make the coil-on-plug stuff work cause the newer engines dont have a dist.

on 2nd thought you'd deff have to go with a standalone

 

The DLI & coil packs are controlled by the ECU. I just looked in the FACTORY manual for the 2001-2 CL & Type S, and it shows the throttle being controlled by a cable run directly to the throttle body from the accelerator pedal. No drive by wire here guys...
