[vutony]

the sr20 video is wack

[brandonlgilbert]

WOW that looks like a very clean engine set. Lets hope the internals are also as nice. Good luck with the swap. btw, How much did the motor set cost you, if you don't mind?

i just got in the sr20det install video its a pretty in deph tutorial it covers all aspects of installing the sr20det. it also includes 300zx brakes,nismo short shifter,walblo fuel pump,intake,electric fans,boost gauge,blowoff valve. but it doesnt include how to wire up the harness. ill make a torrent of it for you guys and seed it for a week. i have one question though. will i have to buy the u shaped and s shaped heater hoses or can i bend the ones from the ka?

[jdm_master_X]

just turn the heater hose around. i didnt have to buy extra hoses doing any swap.

[goj_cloud]

i just got my sr today spend 3 1/2 hours takings off wiring harness, b/c i didnt realize on thedriver side of the car was a differnt harness. my dumbass tried to pull that along with the wiring harness.

unfortunatlly my sr didnt come with a hot pipe,power steering lines, and a belt. which nessars gonna ship me another one

[jdm_master_X]

should have gone through me...woulda got you a silvia front end with that clip...and other goodies.

[goj_cloud]

we got every thing mostly disconnected, the only problem is we cant get the motor mounts off they are hella tight tried hammering them liquid wrench.

[Blown240sx]

You unbolted them from the motor not the clip correct? If you unbolted them from the motor and they are some how rusted on spray PB blaster on them. Also check and make sure you removed the transmission mount bolts.

[goj_cloud]

update i ust got the drivers side top mtor mount off b/c before i was trying to take off bottom mount bolts, but the left passengers side top motor mount bold to to tight like its over touqued, and we put liquid wrench lube on it too.

pb blaster and a blow torch, maybe a pnuwrench with a swivel extension.

also a cheater bar if you have it overhead jacked, which is basically sticking a lead pipe of the end of your ratchet. It might break your bolt but hell, if your desperate you might just get the lift to finish the job

[goj_cloud]

using a torch would be kinda dumb gas,oil + other kinda flammible liquides

[Blown240sx]

Dude just undo all of your mount bolts on the top and bottom of the mounts and remove the transmission mount from the clip and it should side right out.

[goj_cloud]

thats what im trying to tell u, they are to tourqued and i cant lossen them

[karmakaze]

thats what im trying to tell u, they are to tourqued and i cant lossen them

use a hammer. if that does not work, get a slug wrench, and hammer on that.

(i made a slug wrench for the 27mm(?) half shaft bolts. makes it a whole lot easier)

heres how i remove the motor. VERY Simple!

1. remove mounts, vacuum lines, coolant lines, intake, fan shroud, radiator, lower harness, transmission sensors.

2. drivers side mount, get it from the top. double wrench the "golden nut" that is seen under the turbo. its a 14mm.

3. passenger side mount, get it from the bottom. again, another 14mm brass nut. very easy stuff when using liquid wrench and double wrench!

4. place a jack under the transmission, and undo the 4 c-member bolts, the driveshaft (i just remove the front yolk of the shaft, its held in by 12mm bolts and nuts).

5. now have a friend start lifting the motor until the mounts are off the motor. then have him back up about 2.5 inches. then you slowly balance the transmission, and angle it away from the transmission tunnel. have him back up a few more inches while you hold the transmission. when it clears the rack and the firewall, start lifting slowly.

6. there! its out!

[FSUDrifter]

either take the radiator out or put a board in front of it when pulling the engine

[goj_cloud]

u guys do know im talking about the ka right

[goj_cloud]

i still cant ****min get the god damn muther ****in bolts off this **** is pissin me the **** off, the damn bolts are siezed whoever dumbass had teh car before me used used air tools to tourque th e motor mount bolts like a dumbass. does anyone in santa clara ca have air tools to loosen them

[goj_cloud]

[goj_cloud]
