Engine swap (point in right direction)


Crash Bandicoot

Recommended Posts

Before anyone tells me to use the search bar, I have! And found a few useful bits but:

I am after step by step instructions on what needs to be removed and unplugged before removal of the engine

And anything needed to do the job (special tools)

 

And the procedure of what needs to be re-plugged in and in what order when the engines in the new shell.

Any help is greatly appreciated :)

have you looked in the manuals bud?

do you plan on keeping the aircon also? if so this can be removed from the engine and left hung in the bay.

disconnect the loom from the ecu and the other connecters down there and pull it up through the engine bay by undoing the bolts on the loom where it enters the enginebay

 

you need to disconnected the fuel lines/ power steering lines/ gearbox shifter/ engine earth/ radiator / ect..

its all in the manual but ill try and find a guide for you

no worries mate

im not too sure how much they are worth second hand but people strip the aircon pulley down and use the plate as a support/brace.

ive removed mine too and used the plate so i just chucked everything but i had a leak anyway

you wouldnt need the rad part at the front of the car so that could be sold on
