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.


Z6 in the background, a6 in the car still


Leaky Leaky!


Motor out from under the car :P "drag and drop"


Empty engine bay

After that hell i sprayed the engine bay out (lots of antifreeze/oil everywhere)


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 ***-- waaaay too long.


Finished product!

I still need to get VTEC configured (VAFC project on hold till next weekend. I will also swap a 95 civic radiator in there as well and finish alot of work i havent gotten to yet.

 

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

 

Hey looks good, when is that bitch getting a turbo

 

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.
