Well, all did not go well this weekend, lol. First off, i couldn't figure out why i couldn't get the PS pump that i rebuilt to mount on the block, i just couldn't seem to figure out the orientation.... And then i realised i had rebuilt the DOHC pump off the track POS instead of the SOHC pump off the Concerto. SOB.
The confusing thing is, the PS pump is made up of 3 housings, 2 outer and an inner. on the SOHC pump, all 3 housings are stamped PM3. On the DOHC pump, the outer housings are stamped PM3 and the inner is stamped PM7. So when i checked originally, i must've just checked the outer housing said PM3 and thought sweet, all g.
Anyway, got it fixed up pretty quick and got that fitted. Then i went to mount the exhaust manifold and while i was finger tightening the nuts on i sheared off another exhaust stud! What a joke. That's two now.
I made a bit of a mess of the first one i tried to get out, so i priced up the tools to extract it properly and itd set me back nearly 200 bucks. So i'm going to hit up a few mobile guys to come out and do it for me, hopefully it'll be cheaper.
That meant that i couldn't fit up the radiator though, beause i'm guessing they'll need the clearance to fit drills in. LAME.
So instead i made up a new booster line out of one that i picked up from an ES civic from the wrecker, fits pretty close to OEM:
Filled up all engine, trans oil, threw a battery on it to check the electrics are working. All my power windows and mirrors work sweet, but it wouldn't prime. Tested the fuel pump and it's ded.
And i forgot because i was using a JDM PM6 (the factory ECU from my white sedan), it runs ELD, while the harness and fuse box i'm using from the Concerto does not have ELD, so it's throwing a code 20.
Sigh.
