Andrew's engine swap (pics)

You need to work somewhere that doesn't block photobucket

Excuse me for doing my civic duty. Nah, the pay is too good to worry about stuff like that.


Andrew:

Do you still want the cable and sensor?

 

[Andrew]

Yeah but I'm out of town this weekend. If you have people interested in it, sell it man!
I don't need it, but it's something that can't hurt to have around...

It'll be later this week before I can do it I think.

NP. Nothing seems to be moving anyway.

Got some more stuff done...

Got the Headlights cleaned and installed.
Installed Terrance's (Mac_24_seven) Groovy aluminum overflow can.
Swapped out the throttle cable to accommodate the D16.
Painted Booster and installed it and the MC. (upside down to hide vacuum hose)
Got some sheetmetal plugs fabbed up for the Firewall. Too cheap for $3 OEM plugs ^_^
Got the Bumper Support on (didn't get a pic)

A little bling... just temporary

Lookin' sweet, keep up the good work.

Be sure to have a hose in your overflow can mang.

Oh yeah good point. I just had an idea cross my mind. I'll get a fitting and see what I can do.

 

[mac_24_seven]

Also, a good idea would be to get you a couple of 90 degree fittings, one up top and one at the bottom, pointing towards each other, connected with some clear hose (aquarium hose maybe?) so you can have a level indicator.

[Andrew]

Idk! We'll see. We just loaded it up at lunch, so I'll have some pics later on after I clean it up and whatnot

 

[Andrew]

I'm still alive, guys. Sorry for the delay in progress. This is a pretty busy month for me with school finals and other big tests, Scuba Diving lessons this next 2 weekends, and other crap.

I'll have something for you guys soon.

 

[mac_24_seven]

This'll hold em over.. The rangers final run on Pinks all out!


Andrew... It looks to me, even though you can't see it, that the driver's side tire lost contact with the ground at the launch.
Agree or no?

I think it sounded pretty damn mean if you ask me.

The album is public and it's all on pinks so free to look around guys!

 

[Andrew]

Okey Dokey. So I get home from school and decided to stop screwing around and get this crap DONE..... so i dropped 'her in...

Got it in the air and pulled off the header

Gave it a quick cleaning (thought about painting, but then said "screw it" and carried on...)

And before ya know it. batta-bing.

SO much room compared to the B!

Heres a shot or two of my wiring. Nice and tidy bundle....

I got a little more done on the wiring above the tranny, just "compiling" it together w/ some more loom, but didn't get a picture.
Anyway. The only thing I need is my alternator from my friend Eli (borrowed it to get his ZC running), and to buy a Z6 distributor. (I took the guts out of the old one and put it in the B16 casing, and Don't feel like screwing with it any more than I have to... Oh, and I also need a starter. And retune the ecu.

Hopefully with some further tuning we can get a few more HP out of it. Plus I'm still considering spraying it w/ a 50 or 75 shot. No rush, so we'll see. I'm not going for the power thing right now. I just wanna get it done and looking good.

-Andrew

 

[mac_24_seven]

Man, I have the Alternator AND starter. It's in the shed.

Call me tonight and I'll get it so we can give it to you this weekend.

 

[Andrew]

Cool cool. Do you have My alt. from Eli?
I'll be gone most of the weekend on my scuba diving training.... it's like Friday 6-10p, sat/sun all dayish.

You know, I'd give it to meglit, since they might come up this weekend maybe?

 

[mac_24_seven]

Yeah, were coming up Sunday. Plz remind me so I don't forget and I'll bring it with me.

 

[Andrew]

"don't forget to bring it with you."

There. I reminded you. I'll be SO busy this weekend, I'll forget, too.
