Ka24de removal and reinstall

[enderr]

Hello I recently bought a s13


The engine is blown and long story short im buying a running ka tommorow.
I plan on pulling the blown one and rebuilding it eventually, but for the time being replace the blown with a running engine.

The only information I'm looking for is a tutorial on how to pull and replace the ka24de.

I've searched decently and have come up on only 1 guide
Removal and re-install of KA24DE intake mani, emissions delete - TexasNissans.com

this guide seems to have a emissions delete which isnt good for me

Just wondering if anyone has a good guide they have stumbled upon As Google isnt helping me.
Pictures are just for the hell of it.
Thanks guys sorry if this is in the wrong section.. or if its just stupid, I just need some help and I want to learn.

That car doesnt have emissions.. so its not a complete guide.. hes also doing a swap... for a different motor.. thus hes going to be removing stuff i might not have to........ like i already stated i did some searching myself.. i even posted a guide thats similar to the one im looking for.

very easy to do the best way is to pull it out with tranny at the sametime and if your putting and other s13 dohc in there just uninstall the harnesses and remember were they go and keep all your bolts in zipbags with lable to make it even easier! you just need basic tools and it shouldn't take that much! if you need any help just pm me ill help you out if you get lost

is it really that simple? i guess im just making it difficult for myself in my mind.

also, is this a job i can do on my own, or do i need a buddy.

do i need to remove the glovebox and kick panel to get to the ECU and the wiring harness and remove those?

Yes its that simple. Just follow the guide its the same besides the emissions part youre looking for I guess. To get to the ECU just remove the kickpanel. The info for that is in that guide as well.

do i need to remove the ecu even though im replacing it with the same engine?

No just disconnect the harness as long as its kade to kade u should be fine

That guide on Nico is what helped me and I have an s14. There is upper harmed alt harness, a wire on the starter, alternator harness, trans harness, unbolted drive shaft, trans mounts, engine mounts. Installation is the opposite of removal. Its all there.

its stupid easy, I pulled mine in 2 hours... and had beer breaks in between.

I second Edwins post. It's really cake. U can also utilize a camera to take pics of certain things like the emission components so when the new motor is in u know where certain things go. If this is ur first time I also suggest keeping all hardware together w the parts they came off of or separated and tagged so
U know where they go

yes very easy and yea it would be best to have a friend to help you guide out the motor!!!!

if your just uninstalling and reinstalling a s13 ka you dont even and to unplug the ecu! so there no need to touch those things
