Default Re: Honda Civic/Insight IMA and Mods

I was looking around the internet and I saw a 4g63 motor in a civic. I was bored and started to search around and found nothing. WHat kinda mounts, ecu, wireharness, tranny do these people use?
wiring harness. you would have to use the dsm Prescription Drugs engine harness and the ecu harness. they have to run the motor either using the stock ecu or an aem ems, tmo ecu, etc. as far as running the stock dash, it isnt gonna happen. its gonna be an uatomoter gauge setup most like, (rpm, speed, fuel level, etc)

I am new to the forum. I have a nice 2001 Honda Insight (Blue) with Mike
Dabrowski's MIMA kit installed. If anyone has any questions about the performance of the kit and car then just ask. Anything you could possibly
want to know about the original 2000-2006 Insights you will find on Mike's web site www.99mpg.com.

One thing you can think about or do, is to precharge your battery pack. I found that some were doing this with the first gen honda insight, and built a similar charger for my prius. I understand the honda insight owners were doing this precharging, mainly to keep the traction pack balanced, extending the life of the pack.

I wonder if you keep your honda insight battery fully charged from the plugin charger, if you'd get better mileage?

Here's a link to a photo of the precharger I built for the prius. You do the same for your pack, using only enough of the 350ma CC pwr supplies to match the honda insight's traction pack.
