Honda newb has some swap and performance questions
Hello Forum.
I'm not new to cars or forums but other then my moms old '91 Accord I haven't had much experience with Hondas. I hope you guys can answer a few questions. To make a long story short. I bought a '98 dx auto for $400 with a blown d16y7? engine. I threw in a used engine and have a nice little rust-free ride for <$1000. I plan on boosting this engine with a Saab.48t/.42c internal wg turbo andDrag T3 cast mani. I can make the IC pipes, downpipe, ect. Now a buddy of mine just mashed his '98 with the same engine and I can buy thecar for $100. It has a manual transmission. Can I swap the '98 manual into the '98 auto and everythingwould bea bolt-in install? Does the shifter bolt to the chassis? Does the clutch and brake pedals bolt in? ect...
Next questions areabout the turbo setup.
I have heard about this Hondata thing. Is that capable of re-programing the factory '98 obd2 ecu?Ifnot I'll either go with an AEM f/ic or just the good oldfuel pressure riserand timing controller. Considering I'm not building the engine for more then 200hp, will the fpr and timing controller be enough?
