So we made this video showing all of our information on how to get your K swap to show the actual speed. If you have a question about how to get the correct signal to your speedometer, watch this entire video. The answer is probably in here.

    Im a little confused. For the speedometer being off isnt it due to running much smaller wheels? On my k swap the conversion harness was plug and play and the speedometer was off due to my wheels being smaller. Is that what the issue is about? Once i upgraded to nice big sticky tires it was only off by like 5 mph Edit: i think i see the problem maybe its cause the harness is transmitting a 6 speed so thats why its accurate as opposed to a 5 speed maybe conversion harnesses dont account for that

    Hello. Had 7 crx’s. My 84 was great on gas. The 91 si with a DOHC ZC non V was amazing in the top end. But the 1991 dx converted to B16 with an LSD trannny and 5 lug conversion was the funniest. JDM 150 mph speedo. Kids always wanted to race on Friday night when I was cruising into the city for work. Although I did pull away from most, Glad to see this first Gen getting some HP. Hopefully you guys have upgraded the brakes.TY

    Do any of you guys know whether MT/AT both works with the J35 motor? In India we only had J35 out of 8th gen Accord AT. MT was not available in India. If we source a 8th gen Accord MT transmission from overseas, could it be matted with the 8th gen AT Accord engine?

    I am currently trying to find a tuning solution for a K20Z2 Acura CSX FD2 Automatic [Paddle Shift]. Any Ideas if the K24 TSX Auto ECU [Which has Hondata available] Might be able to run your R18 Civic[w.K24A2] TSX ECU 37820-RL5-A51 I believe the ECUs are similar. Trying to find any tuning path for the 4 CSXs i'm trying to tune, eventually changing from Z2 Head to Z3 Head only after a suitable tuning ability with Auto K20 CSXs. Could you help me shed some light, really trying to narrow this down.

    If I’m understanding this correctly…. An automatic harness can be used no modifications necessary other than the speed sensor depending on transmission choice. Which simply leaves several unused plugs.
