Picked up my s13 blacktop today!!

[positron1]

Excellent!

[callmeweezy724]

Excellent!

thanks..does anyone have an answer to my question about the plate and the rocker arm stoppers tho?

[callmeweezy724]

i had off today so i work on my motor a bit i got a lot done. I changed the front main seal and made sure the timing was on..heres the cam and crank marks..cas..heres the old front main seal..and heres the new front main seal. I cleaned it up a lil bit but not too great i plan on pulling the motor and buildin the head once i get another car anyway..and i also put new p/s and wp, & alt belts on..right now i am looking for dohc power steering return lines. I have the high pressure line i jus need the return line. If anyone has any for sale let me kno asap!!

That crank mark is wrong, the gold link needs to be on the bottom, there should be like these silverish links that go at like 10 and 12 I think, something close to that. Give the crank pulley a few more turn, and back at the 2nd to left mark like you have it, and reinsert the CAS.

anyone kno about those two black wires that are loose on my ecu..there both black wires..im guessin there grounds but does it matter which goes to which?

It looks like you're right. #39 & #48 right? Here is a link to a pinout for your ecu.

I hope this helps. Lookin good...

So there should be a link at each dot on the cam gear?

Seems like your links are gone as well. Some people silver links go away after time. It looks good as it is right in your pictures. Although you might have to retime it again when it comes time to start it up. I would try it like that though.

dis some work today ill let the pics do the talkin..thats all i got for now i have off work tom so ill be at it again..

[zrowkewl]

lookin good man.just about ready to fire my blacktop up.i too delt with engine depot.i had a good experience though.jay helped me out a lot.the guy that showed me the motor (little guy named z) was very helpful as well.he too told me the one i got was the last one and by far the cleanest most complete motor they had. mine came with full blacktop harness with fuse box included. ignitor,maf sensor (they gave me the wrong one though) and shifter was included as well as e5 ecu. can i ask...how much you paid for your motor??

[duffman1278]

Sometimes, even though you set it up like the FSM says. Some people go off by 180 degree's which means you just have to rotate the crankshaft pulley again until you hit TDC again.

[Kalypso]

what about the plate for your RAS

Keep and cut it or trash?

great job

i paid $2100 for mine they didnt charge me tax bc i came with cash. I tried to talk them down on the price but they wouldnt budget. They didnt have an ignitor or shifter for my motor, and i got the transmission harness but only the starter and alternator connections are there the ones for the gears arent there. I called some other spots but they were all out of blacktops and werent gettin any until 3-4 weeks from then. How much u pay for yours??

great job

i cut it..no one answered my question so i didnt want to take any chances..we make ac hose and fix powersteering hoses at my job so i took it there and used the cuting wheel and cut it..next time i take my valve cover off ill take pics sry i forgot to do that. Theres some thing i didnt take pics of.

[callmeweezy724]

aight im tryin to crank my motor over..i have my battery relocated to the back.. so theres a circuit breaker in between the starter wire and the positive going to the battery..but the harness on the sr has two power wires comin from the alternator and starter wtf? theres also a ground wire that i grounded to the chasis..and then theres 2 plugs. I tried connecting the two plugs to the plugs on the fuse box but they dont seem to fit any. Now i hooked up the starter wire and alt wire to one side of the circuit breaker and the wire for the positive to the battery on the other. When i close the circuit im gettin power without the key even in?? can someone help me out?heres the starter alt wires...heres the wires from the fuse box that arent connected to anything..this plug i have grounded to the chasis but i dont kno what it plugs into..ooh the rope not dope bracelet reps my little sister double dutch team. lolok i jus read the part two to the frsport wiring guide and it says that the black/white wire is a 12v constant, im goin to check and make sure i didnt splice into that..but the thing is i dont even have my ecu hooked up right now..

youre harness is a little wack man. 1st. Top pic bad angle cant really see the plugs. 2nd pic some look to be male connectors which is weird because all the harness I have worked on, have female connectors , but ill give it a try. brown plug on top I don't know whats that for I never use it, it always has some little cap covering it. Grey plugs, left one looks like the idle valve plug, middle plug looks like the plug for the coil pack harness, right plug looks like the plug for the knock sensor. 3rd pick could be 2 things, if it has a black and brown wires on it it is the power steering plug ( the one on the pressure line ), if it has brown/black and brown wires its going to be the plug for stock boost solenoid. Check does things to see if they are connected

yea i paid 2100 as well.i tried starting it earlier today,but when i turn the key nothin happened.headlights work,along with all my accessories,but i still gotta connect the slave cylinder,and the DOHC power steering lines.

those type of plugs coming from the fuse box?? I have the engine harness all hooked up. the 1st pic is the lower harness that connects to the starter and alternator..and the 2nd pic are plugs coming from the fuse box in the engine bay.. I already have the things you mentioned connected

yea im in the same boat..i i had power but my power was working even without at key..im tryin ti figure out y thas happening b4 i even try to start it. I jus tried to bleed my slave cylinder..i forgot to eliminate the dampener box and i was jus goin to leave it but i broke the bleeding screw off in it. so now its def coming out, but thats the lease of my worries i need to figure out y i am gettin constant power.

[callmeweezy724]

update* when i was hooking the battery up the e-brake light would come on and fuel pump without the key in..so i plugged the engine harness and tried..and they didnt come on..but after i turned the key to the on position and turned it back off they light stayed on.. i never touched any of those wires idk y this would be happening..anyone have any info for me?

[zrowkewl]

^ hmm.try to cancel out all the stupid stuff first.like mess with the ebrake when car is on.then off.**** like that...im gonna check my clutch interlock relay.the guy that did my wiring (gio,of pride performance) said that if it doesnt start.check that first.so i just gotta get a multi meter and check the relay.hopefully its something simple like that.

[callmeweezy724]

nvm i figured it out..i had the red wire connect wit the black/red wire i got it now..all i have to do is bleed the slave cylinder so i can get my clutch working..i still dont kno where those fuse box wires connect too if anyone knos please let me kno..thanks!

[callmeweezy724]

some pics of what i did today..i figured out the problem with the wire..now i jus have to bleed the slave cylinder so i can engage the clutch so it will start..It wont start without the clutch being bled right?

[positron1]

Dang man, you're almost there...friggin' sweet!

[callmeweezy724]

Dang man, you're almost there...friggin' sweet!

yea..its sucks bc i didnt take the dampener box out i tried to bleed it so i can bleed the slave cylinder after..and i broke the f-ing bleeding screw off..so now im tryin to take that out but the lines are a bee to get out. you have any pointers or anyone esle?? im ready to jus cut the whole clutch line and run another one. lol

[positron1]

Which bleeder screw again?
