6 bolt swap

[Phast Eclipse]

I am currently doing a 4g63 6bolt motor swap into my 99 Eclipse Gst.

I was wondering if any one can tell me what 2G sensors on the engine harness will I still be using and which sensors will not with the 6bolt motor. There are quite a lot of extra connectors and sensors that are on the 7bolt motor that don't seem to be on the 6bolt I’m installing.

Also, if anyone knows what the sensor is that is on the back of the intake manifold on a metal bracket. Or knows how to hook up the Vac lines to the 2G engine from the 6bolt motor I would appreciate.

I have the job half way done. I just wanted to make sure before. I get it finished and not hook up something right.

Thanks!!!!

I don't know the answer but I am sure that if you used the search function you will find all your answers as this has been covered many times before.

that is a link for the 1g into a 2g swap........there is everything you will need to know on what u need from the 1g, and what u need from the 2g.....is tells you what u need if your doing a 6 bolt swap wiht a 1g head, or a 6 bolt swap while keeping ur 2g head.....hope this helps.......here is a little info on it......

1G CAS (91-92 Optical Effect, 93-94 Hall Effect)
1G Oil Cooler (90-92 MD 157670 6bolt water cooled oil cooler)
1G Water Pump
1G Oil Pump/Front Case
1G Timing Belt necessities
2G Engine mount (modified) use 2G engine mount trimmed, with 1G tensioner arm
1G Timing Belt Covers (modified)
1G 90-92 6-bolt block (with whatever internals)
1G 6-bolt Flywheel
2G Starter Mounting bracket
1G Water Pipe
1G lower radiator hose
1G Thermostat housing/ Water Neck
1G 6-bolt oil pan Balance shafts (remove them or keep em, its up to you, we take them out)
2G Alternator
2G Power Steering Pump
2G A/C 2G Belts

If you look at the website it is alot more detailed...........most of the 2g sensors, will be reused, with exceptiong for the CAS.....if u have any questions feel free to PM me.....good luck man.......the swap isnt to bad, ive done it and so have many, long live the 6 bolt....haha...good luck

If you are talking about the little silver object on the inake manifold it is there to cancel out electromagnetic distortion from the coils. That is why we don't get any RPM interference in our radios.

Hell Ezzard, he's right up the road from ya... you should stop in. Does Duvall county still do emissions tests? If so, too bad. Register the car in clay county and don't worry about emisssions, just take all that crap off. But seriously, during the week that I spent doing the entire swap by myself, I had every printout known to man for this swap with me, must've been at least 50 pages in my car, and i still couldn't make sense out of half of it, espcially when I was putting everything back together. Fortunately there was a guy in the bay next to me who'd already done the swap, so I could just look at his car for reference. But I was putting in a jdm motor so there was a bunch of little complications that arose that I didn't foresee. So if you can't find anyone local to help you out, sorry... ya gotta hit the books. It's all pretty much there. Best of luck to ya.

Well right now I am in Sarasota getting ready to get deployed. I would stop and check him out but I won't be in Gainesville for a while.

unless youre talking about the sensor plug that mounts on the intake bracket...in that case its the knock sensor
