Andrew's engine swap (pics)

[mac_24_seven]

Hmmn........

I do want to try. Problem is getting it down here, since I'd want dad there to give me pointers and whatnot.. I need to be shown how to mix the paint and whatnot.

After you swap an engine in it, drive it down and I'll buy 10 cans of paint remover and spray it <laughs> No seriously......

We'll talk about it tomorrow. I do want to cut my teeth on some painting though. Even if it doesn't turn out uber awesome, it'll look better than it does now

 

[Andrew]

thats what I figured...
Terrance, how about you help me find a healthy D to put in it? Non-vtec, vtec, w/e.
Even a ZC. (No, it wouldn't turn out like Eli's...) Try and find a complete swap with axles and ecu.

 

[mac_24_seven]

Sir, yes sir!

 

[Andrew]

You got that right....

Oh yeah... I forgot the "pwehtty-puhweeeeeze" part... whoops!

Man I wanted that civic EX shell. with my LS swap in it+ A/C. if you still consider? I've 3 items I can trade you. A JDM type R header with skid plate. Full Race traction bars. or the carbon fiber hood that's currently on my CRX. you can only choose one.

Ninja Edit: It looks like I'm getting a traction bar, tomorrow

Good work Andy, ma boy, have fun with the wiring :wacko:

 

[Andrew]

Actually wiring wasn't that bad. Luckily my wire-tuck job did me a favor and extended most of the wires appropriately... The only wires I had to extend were the VTEC noid/oil pressure and the water temp sender.
I just finished the last of the wiring a few minutes ago.
I also finished up the "bottom end" and got the axles in and stuff.
All thats left down there is to put cotter pins on the LBJoints.

Check it:

I'll put in the Full Race traction bar today as well.

[klyph]

Great work man, can't wait for the ripper vids!

 

[Andrew]

Thanks guys...
I got the Full Race traction bar in, as well as a 4-1 ITR header with a figgen sweet skid plate last night

Around 2 or 3 I'm taking my D16Z6 dizzy to Max's house and we're gonna change out the shaft on it for it to accept B series cams. Hopefully it will work.
If it does work, I'll be driving it today!

 

[eg6sir]

nice.. if you have an upper heatshield cover you can cover it up and look incognito
