Got quite a bit done. I now have climate control (except for the ability to choose what vent the air comes from - Even the HF came stock with buttons to choose vent combos.
instead of a cable. I got the tach cable (the big one that clips onto the back of the cluster, right?) installed. Like Gasoline fumes said, it's all denso, and the same thing, so it fits right together. The throttle cable also fit well - I had to make a nice ghetto-fabulus piece of sheet metal to keep the throttle cable in place since it isn't supposed to belong there. See photo:
The clutch cable was the only cable that gave me a problem. The geo one is just too short. A honda cable is going to be super long, but it should work.
I took a long look at the geo harness and the crx harness. It looks like one part of the geo harness (see photo) seems to contain most of the connectors used on the actual engine.
The only connectors I saw that may be necessary to be connected to the ECU are the distributor coil and the resistor box. A similar harness "dichotomy" seems to exist with the crx harness, and maybe the little connector on the driver side strut tower contains (8 wires) all that is necessary to "return" to the ECU (shown here).
A similar connector with 7 wires exists right next to the geo relay box, followed by the rest of the accessories on the geo harness:
Time to start looking at some pinouts. I've decided to leave the crx wiring intact and put the engine essentials from the XFi harness "on top" of it. Think I can get away with keeping only the CRX relay box?
Tomorrow is welding day, hopefully the motor will be nestled in by this time tomorrow! Could someone change this thread title to CRXFi Build Thread or something like that please?
