Thanks for the kind words. I have followed your swap as well. It kind of had me thinking about doing the 96-00 swap like yours but I have the makings of building another Vx engine so maybe after that one is done. I saw you pulled some excellent numbers with yours and I was impressed. Would be cool to use the factory harness for the power windows.

For the wiring on mine I just wanted it to look factory. I'll include a pic of all the engine bay connectors plugged in. It's clearer now how I back pinned the lx harness and just added wires where I needed them to match the Vx engine harness. The shield wire is still there too on the o2 sensor harness. I'm going to wire that to a ground and conceal it in the tubing that will go to the egr. I never use butt or crimp connectors I always solder and shrink wrap. Even if I'm using a crimp eyelets I crimp it then cut the plastic off and solder it then Shrink tube the entire end up til the eye. Makes it look very professional
