Need help with install
I'm relatively new to the site but im on here just about every day. I was hopeing someone might be able to provide a link or a writeup to installing a ca into my 1990 240. I'm getting my front clip in about 2 weeks and this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

what you needing to know, nobody can really hold your hand through the process unless they are there, it is really straight forward.
pull the old motor out, put the new motor in, hook up all of the plumbing, fuel lines, radiator, heater hoses, follow the wiring diagrams shown in the faqs, (literally like a dozen wires at the most)
double check your work
start the car, set timing according to the FSM, drive.

Re: Need help with install (dmccarte)
i don't know if http://www.heavythrottle.com still has a website, but there was a sticky with a sr20det engine install, that install guide is mint...it's 99.9% of everything you'll need...i just checked, it's still there, under sr20det install faq, bottom left hand margin of the page...just follow the instructions they give and your there...email me if you've got a specific questiondmccarte wrote:I did check the faq'a and there wasnt a thing to help me. if anyone has any first hand experience with this swap please reply.
the phyical part of moving the motor is easy, you'd probably understand while you take the motor out of the clip. The wiring is really simpling, just about 3 plugs? someone posted a link to heavythrottle, go there. Its REALLY simple even if you'ren ot mechanically inclined since most of the stuff you do is follow the colors. Unless you're color blind of course.
