engine swap done finally *56k, broadband isnt taht expensive..*
 

well as most of you know i blew the rings out of my a6 adn i got a good deal on the Z6 so i desided to swap in the Z6. This swap was, well, hell to say the least. I had some help pulling it out but no help putting it back in and no picker or air compressor. This was a hand tools only, drag the motor around swap.

The duct tape on the intake tube does 2 things
1)keeps the metal from touching the + battery termnal
2) holds the stock Gready turbo kit air cone on lmao
God autocraft spark plug wires suck ass-- waaaay too long.

Congrats on the swap Wyatt. How long did it take you to put the new one in by yourself?

Re:engine swap done finally *56k, broadband isnt taht expensive..*
 

Hey looks good, when is that bitch getting a turbo???

Re:engine swap done finally *56k, broadband isnt taht expensive..*
 

It took me 2 4 hour days to get it in and out using all hand tools and breaks every so often ETC. Then a few hours screwing with it not starting. I want to have it turboed by April. i have an HF mani and OHO RBH5 turbo soo im halfway there.

Nice Wyatt...but duct tape is conductive ;).Be careful.

Re:engine swap done finally *56k, broadband isnt taht expensive..*

Re:engine swap done finally *56k, broadband isnt taht expensive..*
 

Yeah it is.Thats why we dont use it in our trade.You might be ok with a low amperage d.c system...but I wouldt trust it too long.

Re:engine swap done finally *56k, broadband isnt taht expensive..*
 

*brakeing out hte rolls of electrial tape* im getting ready, WTF was honda thinking when thy put the + termnal on that side of the engine bay? I mean damn, that was the dumbest place for it.

Re:engine swap done finally *56k, broadband isnt taht expensive..*
 

HAha, can you spin the battery around and maybe get longer cables if needed? The swap must have been a bitch man. I can only imagine some of the words you were throwing around in the garage while trying to muscle that thing in through the bottom of the car! ;)
