I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

from what i know about this swap, wiring it up is a bitch, i assume thats why you had to send your harness off. when you sent your harness off did they adapt it to your car for the same ODB series as the car the engine came from or for your car, also, are you running the ECU from the car you got the engine from, or are you running your old ECU, retuned for the new engine?
