Its not rocket science.... Its pretty much replace parts.... The wiring is probably the hardest part... Oh and for the side mount, just cut holes on the correct side...

Seriously there's at least 2 DVD's I can think of so far that detail the swap. Its pretty simple (besides wiring.) Pull old motor out, put new motor in. Plug in harness and all other electrical components. Install other mechanical devices after putting the engine in the car. Than try and start it up.

I just need to run the car. I can't really afford a front mount right now and u probably know why with that crisis.... for 7psi, I think the stock sidemount for 50 buck will do the job for at least, 2 summer.

thx for the help.

thanks alot !

did you had difficulties somewhere during the swap or it started right away ?

allntrlundrgrnd · 11-19-2008, 03:55 PM

your always gonna run into little problems here and there, and hopefully no major ones.

i was fortunate enough to have mine start first try and run pretty much perfectly

Mr.s13r · 11-19-2008, 06:44 PM

yea all i got was timing issue but that's it. Also i had to do more since i have a j4 ecu with redtop harnesss.

zugoi · 11-19-2008, 06:57 PM

Wow. rewiring the harness was alot easier then i thought.

silviaz · 11-19-2008, 09:58 PM

Me too!!!!!

The harness is cheese. The install is cheese. The startup is cheese. The hardest part is finding a place to park the fucker while you do it.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 11-19-2008, 11:37 PM

Well the hard part now is finding an engine that has nothing wrong with it. For the most part, most engines now have minor issues with it that you have to fix. Bad maf, o2 sensor, water temp, blown turbo, low oil pressure, clogged up cam oil squirter, etc...

Hardest part of the swap is troubleshooting the swap it wont start or run properly.

Sounds bad to me... cuz it's hard to know that until you start the engine

I'm not planning to rebuilt the engine yet... it already cost a arm and a leg.... All I have to do is pray, pray pray..

Ugh. Tell me about it. Management would go ape shit if they saw doing an engine swap.

ZX88 · 11-20-2008, 08:22 AM

get your engine local trust me its alot easier to deal with engine depots in person rather than through email.

Mr.s13r · 11-20-2008, 09:04 AM

Well, this was my first time ever doing a swap so i have no knowledge of anything man so if you don't know shit like me then trust me there are time when it will be hard. Well do it and find out man, let us know. Gl

Did you rebuilt the engine before the swap or you bought it like that ?

QFT

if you get your engine from some backcountry warehouse in canada your gonna end up fucked in the long run. Granted you may get lucky and come up with a decent condition engine, but its a crap shoot and you usually end up paying for it.

Mr.s13r · 11-21-2008, 06:23 PM

Nah didn't rebuild just do all the maintenance like water pump, thermostat, reseal oil tank, etc. Got the motor from jdm of miami by the way. But since you are up in canada, there are some vendor on zilivia that sell them

Yup, I'll take mine overhere for sure and choose the engine and do my on test and check everything else. I think some shop are giving a 30 days warranty. I wasn't planning to rebuilt the engine that's the only thing i'm afraid of.

THX for the help
