im moving, and the house is going on FORCLOSURE, because the ass we were renting off DIPPED out.

yea.
so i dont really care about the garage

QUESTION,
switching to KA24DE

what will that do with automatic doors, and the voice, and all that stuff?

[mod_mastaz]

The engine harness does not deal with the talking lady and power windows etc. The KA24DE swap is pretty straight forward. Wiring isn't that hard. I guided turbo_s12 through his ca18det wiring and he had very little issues. It's approximately 15 wires to splice and solder. If you want me to make you a plug-n-play conversion harness, goto the junkyard and get the S12/S13 connectors I need to do it(+ something extra) and I'd gladly do it. You can be my first test mule for it hehe. I was going to do this for my car, BUT I couldn't get 18ET engine connectors(20e ones are different).

well a KA is down the road from me (not that far now!)

but, dont i need the actual engine/year for you to do that.

and i love too solder shit anyways so yea





and MO PICTAZ
sorry,
but im a picture person.
pictures,
pictures

[mod_mastaz]

Not necessarily. The wiring is pretty much out there. All you really need to get is an S13 KA and the harness will plug right in haha. But I mean if you wanna tackle it yourself go for it. I'll prob try making a conversion harness and testing it out on another car later then hehe. Go and fix up both cars first hehe.

[David B]

wait so, does the year matter?

[David B]

bump, thanks for the thread change arro

[David B]

i pulled at the end of the cord it was LOCKED up somehow.

i tried for like 2 hours...
plus, whats wrong with hoodpins?

[David B]

TODAY

i decided to start engine removal before i move,
im just gonna dump the engine,trans onto a pallet


today, i removed the fenders/hood/bumper



anyone, what do i disconnect for the engine to come out?
the exaust manifold....

the drivetrain...

some parts of the harness....
is that all?


AND DUH HERES PICTURES









so,
anyone.
with tips/information to remove the engine.
i do have a friend who is a little mechanically experienced to help me do this


i know to, remove the transimission fluid and stuff

but what else?????!

[demonic s12]

shouldnt this be in the s12 garage?

you have a long road ahead of you man, have fun

[SHIFT_LOVE]

disconnect downpipe, unbolt engine mounts, disconnect water lines, pull wiring harness through after disconnecting it from the ecu, disconnect fuel lines, remove shifter assy, unbolt transmission cross member, remove carrier bearing from the driveshaft and pull drive shaft out of the back of the tranny, hoist engine up off of engine mounts, make sure all wires and hoses are disconnected, hoist up higher, pull forward, hoist higher, pull forward, hoist higher and have someone step/push down on the back of trans and jack it up until it clears the core support/radiator...complete engine removal guide lol...do it in semi-that order

and thanks,
ill prob have questions when i come across but thats a decent order


hoisting the engine wont happen until i find a friend that i can borrow,
im gonna buy a engine lift,
but not right now,


what about the radiator?
i took it out anyways...
i would rather end up buying a new one for this car,
plus i had to drain the fluid anyway



how much trans fuild comes out of this thing?
sop i can get a big enough bucket for it..... and now undershoot

[demonic s12]

my auto drained quite a bit, not sure how much though...

is it like 5 quarts for a stick?
