^ +1

no but all jokes aside

i couldn't do it. but i can unbolt the mounts and lift the motor with a hoist.

but putting it back in is not east and it might not seal right. and theres bolts under the the cross member.
its a pain just pull out the motor best way for me.

You have to lower the rack an pinkion also, just take out the eingine, its easier

i was hoping there was an easier way but i guess there isntt fuuuuuuuuck.

rb25_s13*CHUKI · 06-15-2011, 03:05 AM

Chain up the engine and lift it a little bit, you should be able to get all the bolts off and seal it back on correctly. Unbolt the engine mounts and tranny.which is pretty much pulling out the engine

yoni_nismo · 06-15-2011, 03:37 AM

put the car on jack stands remove radiator and fan shroud then
1.unbolt engine mounts from bottom
2.remove lower tranny to engine braces from both sides
3. place jack under transmission and raise it up
4 remove all the 10mm bolts
5. drop pan slightly unbolt oil pick up
6. remove pan

Or just pull the whole thing out and prep your KA for boost properly and drop it back in. It will save you so much time and frustration trying to do things on it.

Here some pics of a pan I did for one of the members here

roel03 · 06-15-2011, 01:41 PM

All you do it loosen the top nut on the motor mounts. Leave them threaded a little at the top, but do not loosen them all the way. Jack the car where the motor meets tranny and it will be high enough to slide the oil pan out. Did not need to remove anything, besides tilting the sway bar forward to give some extra room. It will be a pain to unbolt the oil pickup and put it back on, but it is doable. Use a felpro gasket, not gasket maker and it will make your life much easier putting it back on if you use this method.

upsdude · 06-15-2011, 05:25 PM

its more work to take off the steering rack/front subframe but its worth it since you have room to work under there. thats what i did when replacing the pan and oil pick up.
