Very sweet! What did you paint your valve covers with? Is it high temp? Im picking up my motor (25 also) tomorrow, cant wait! Swap looks real good! Be sure to get some vids.

[BlAcK95sE]

it was a can of paint i picked up from auto zone. it called grabber green.

[StricNyne]

congrats on the swap but im not a fan of the green

FTLOG please dont lift engines by the manifolds. use hard bolts through chains.

[StricNyne]

i was wondering why not though ? i always did i mean the bolts usually hold 1000psi

[BlAcK95sE]

FTLOG please dont lift engines by the manifolds. use hard bolts through chains.

we only lifted the engine with the exhaust manifold. we wraped the chain around the motor mount on the intake manifold side. this is how we have been lifting engines for years. what is the big deal?

[Carl H]

nice, and your harness is sitting on my desk in a box...

thats good to hear! now i can get my DD back on the road lol. what do you normally charge to chip ECU's?

[Carl H]

sorry but the 25 ecu = unchipable.

[pdvorak]

don't mean to highjack this thread but aren't the rb25 ecu's chipable? or is chiping it different from ROM tuned?

[Monkey87]

Love the Grabber Green...I'm trying to decide what I want to do with my colors...I'm tired of having a black car. I want something bright and flashy, and I'm thinking like a neon orange...but the Grabber Green would be pretty sweet on the black interior.

Save yourself some time and headache if you ever have to do it again... drop the car onto the motor and lift it up into the body

[s14kouki]

My ecu is a Mine's one, i believe it is chipped

that would be nice if i had a lift. i know what you are talking about when it comes to a headache though. lol

[rbsileighty]

You'd be surprised... engine hoist works well too (what I've used for all of mine with a dolly for the motor to slide out)

[BlAcK95sE]

hey CARL H is there any update on the harness?

[Carl H]

sorry, school has been kicking my *** and your harness is long overdue...ive got 2 exams today so if it doesnt go out this afternoon then it will first thing sat morning.again terribly sorry.

[BlAcK95sE]

[BlAcK95sE]

Are you bumping about this????

What I did was the two open bolt holes in the back on the head (exhaust side) I drilled a piece of steel and bolted it on and bolted a chain onto that. I did the same thing for the two holes in the front on the Intake side too.

Broken studs in the head SUCK unless you like drilling and Heli-coiling heads. lolThose studs are not meant to hold the weight of a motor and transmission.They are there for the sole purpose of holding the manifolds on.

I know people have done it for years and never have a problem, but that day when you do have a problem.Your gonna say "Damn I should of listened to those Nico guys" lol

Bump!!

[Carl H]

bump ive got the harness in my car to go out!i'll have a tracking number for you this evening...

[Darius]

Not to mention the fact that the OEM exhaust manifold studs snap like toothpicks anyways. The first time I removed my exhaust manifold, I had 3 broken studs and the motor didn't even have 40,000 miles on it.

thank god the wait is killing me. it really sucks riding a motor cycle to work in 30 degree weather lol.

[Suicide.Veteran]

wtf 30 degrees. pshh I did most winter on my gs500from clarksville to nashville. Like 50 minutes at 5:00 AM just throw on a thick icon jacket, and ride faster. but yeah it sucks.

What's up with that???

[Sil240]

Haha,That's all my car does right now. lol

[BlAcK95sE]

it will only idle! it wont rev much past 2000 rpms though. my buddies sr20 would idle also but if you reved it with no maf it would die. i am wireing in the maf and running the inter cooler piping to day
