Congrats bro. Your lucky you have a rsx vs a tsx. Easier process. Your firewall is reinforced for it unlike the tsx. But i'm pretty much doing the same. Good shit and enjoy the rsx. Next you definitely have to get a type S motor or tsx motor, type s oil pump, bigger cams, and your golden, dont need the type s head on a k24a2, just port it, put the civic SI iM on it and your good to go.
Dope video bro I’m about to swap my trans here soon and everything you said was pretty accurate and well said. Keep making more videos and keep building up that confidence homie💯🤞🏾
The video is great man is really helpful since there is barely information about it on the internet, is important to point out that some part from the 02-04 are not compatible with the 05-06 ( engine harness, dash harness, ecu) I've been doing it on mine for a while now, I've somewhat complete it, I was able to drive the car using the automatic dash harness, but the connection that I did to make it work disconnected, I just need to find where hopefully this information is helpful
Thanks man! I appreciate that. I tried to be as helpful as I could. Yeah you're right, some things are different between the generations. I mentioned it in the description in the parts list. That's awesome that the car still worked with the auto Harness. I didn't attempt it lol. Goodluck finding where it got disconnected ✊🏾.
@@redd1379 that really depends on your goals for the car. If your only goal is swapping from an auto to manual that's simple enough. But if you wanna keep going it's often better to have a game plan to make things much simpler.
Hi what did you do about the third bolt that goes on the top of the clutch pedal bracket, mine seems to flex when I push down and the autos didn't come with it.
Are the clusters the same I got a ugly type s I’m putting everything in a auto so I got everything I was told to swap the ignition so I can keep the type s ecu but it has a k24
Thing is im interested in doing this only so i can properly mod the car (add a racing intake, 1320 downpipe with turbo, kpro, new exhaust, etc) but do i keep the k20a3 engine? Is it all possible with just a manual swap?
Only 5 speed compatible with base k20z3 or 6 speed can work too? Also if i ever decide to swap the engine for a k20A type r engine and 6 speed trans will i ever need to change the engine mounts again or any of that? Thanks
Hey man wicked video has helped me out a lot! You mention a pin and cotterpin for the clutch pedal is needed, is there a particular one you need to buy? Or what do they look like? Thanks Manny!
Thanks so much for this video. I have an '03 Base Auto with Manual trans. This is preventing me from tuning the car ( ie - Auto Trans RSX cannot be tuned ). If I JUST change this from an auto to a manual, will I be able to finally get my car tuned with K-Pro or Haltech? Would I still be able to keep my K20A3 engine ? I am just looking to get about 40 WHP using a tune and bolt-ons . Thanx in advance.
@@joshibrahim1537 Bolt on upgrades. So things that don’t require you to open up the engine or open up your transmission. For example things like air intakes, exhausts, bolt on turbo kits, air filters. Stuff like that so the easy upgrades that do add a bit of performance, but not a lot.
@Aspired Driven Auto Thanks for a great video series! I'm going to do this AT2MT swap this summer, gathering the parts now. Do you have to send the AT ECU in to Ktuner to have it re-flashed into a MT ECU? Also, is the dash harness really necessary?
I bought the user end kit which is nice if you plan on doing things in the future. For example, swapping the engine and getting a tune. The turn around time was pretty quick when I had it done. I believe I got it back in a week .
I recently bought an rsx base model that was auto to manual swapped, but the problem with the car is that it doesn’t go over 5k, the guy I bought it from told me that I need an ecu, is that true?
Oh dang, to be honest I have no idea. But it does sound like an ecu problem. The ECU would limit how high the rpms go. Is it still using the stock auto ecu?
Bro 2023 about to be 2024 this is fire 🔥 RSX owners unite
Playing to do this next summer .. got my first rsx 2 months ago . Pretty fun whip .
How many miles you got on yours? I’m wondering if I should do it on mine so I wanna see what other people are working with.
@@deoxo6126 I’m at 172km I’m in Canada btw
@@deoxo6126 miles are nothing can always rebuild it or swap another in u know
conversion is pricey, but I'm sure the knowledge you gain is worth it!
I’m starting my manual swap tomorrow I’m excited
How’d it go?

What do you need help with man. I'm currently doing mine. 06 engine harness in a 03 auto and a 03 Manual transmission

So how do i use my automatic 06 dash harness cause i cant find a manual harness anywhere
i almost lost faith you would be back!
Lol I know right, it's been too long

Hey mate. How did you go with the reverse light?? Ineed to get that done on my son's conversion. We went from an 04 to an 06..
So I don’t need a manual engine harness? Will I have any CEL codes?
Had a Acura rsx automatic project car got it for the lowww lowwww and had to move before I could finish it 😢😢😢 I ended up getting rid of it 😩😩😩
what material is 2003 acura rsx automatic transmission made of
what do i have to do with the automatic ecu to be able to keep it and run the manual transmission bro
Why did you have to change the dash harness?
Hi, how much will you charge to do my tsx. I'm too old to get under the car anymore.
thanks
who let you use your automatic ecu?
do you need the engine harness to be 5spd or just under dash harness to be. My nephew wants me to help him with the conversion
Is the dash harness from a type s or a base manual rsx
is it possible to put a 2002-04 type s 6 speed rsx transmission into a 2002-04 base automatic rsx ?
Yeah if you got the the engine too
What’s the link for the ecu reflash

The engine is great. It’s truly just the transmission that’s bad.
What bolt on’s dude?

How much could you decrease this you think with junkyard parts?
Any base guys have the answer to 1077 I think it is(evap code)
What about axles ?? Did you swap those??
How much was the k tuner? I’m swapping my06 base. I have all the parts from an 06 parts car.
You using a rsx type s transmission or a base
👍🏼
Thank you ✊🏾
How much to flash the auto ecu for your swap? I’m on the website you provided and trying find which one you did. How long for turnaround time?
I bought the user end kit which is nice if you plan on doing things in the future. For example, swapping the engine and getting a tune. The turn around time was pretty quick when I had it done. I believe I got it back in a week .
@@aspireddrivenauto8650 did you get ktuner or kpro? My Rsx is 04
I got ktuner, don't think they have kpro for the 05-06. Since you have the 02-04 I believe you can do either one

@@aspireddrivenauto8650 yeah
Check my description for this video, go to the website HA Motorsports, have them reflash the ecu to Manual
Car must still think its in park
Sounds to me like it’s cutting off before hitting vtec, i might be wrong, maybe something with the vtec actuator or whatever
I'm looking at doing this swap and I'm wondering why you need to change the dash harness?
So I bought a type s with 125k miles on it but I’m not a fan of manual is it the same way to swap a manual to automatic?
brocan we can trade bro i have 150k miles base auto paid off and i was gonna engine swap k24 and keep auto but i now changed my mind and want manual
you forgot to mention how much the lsd
cost
You got rust on them bolts🤣🤣
You took way too long to release this video I'm unsubscribing. 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I know I know lol, better late than never
