1Gina2G

Ok I have both a 6 bolt complete with car and I want to put it in my 2G. What all is needed to do this and what can I still use off of the 2G? Will the tranny bolt right up?

have you tried searching? I know this isn't a common thing to get discussed and people never do this swap but I'm sure there have been a post or 2 about this before?

Yes the tranny will bolt right up. You can use the 2g exhaust manifold, throttle body and 02 housing a well as the parts it says in the link.

I have but they all dont have both complete cars right there. They all talk about finding a motor and getting parts. I just want to know what I need from the 1G to make it work in a 2G.

some one said to use the tbody off the 2g....i think what they meant to say was to use the tbody elbow(snorkle), ported to match the 1g tbody.
use all your 2g sensors, the starter off your 2g, and all theother stuff...
good luck
oh oh
and get this

www.dsmlink.com

that is the shitzu.......

Theres 3 things you can search for.
Or goto google and type
1g in a 2g and you should be able to find it.
Or search here for 6bolt swap.

Ok do I really need the DSMLink if I do the swap? Is there a way to get around that?

Oh man, I really hope you aren't doing this swap yourself ...

dsmlink is nothing that you need to make your engine run ... its to fine tune and make it perform better. You only need it if you want to put out a lot of horsepower. You have more important things to worry about right now and you can add that anytime.

I knew what the dsmlink was used for but I was told that I needed it for the swap. I was just checking.

true but you also need it to eliminate Random missfire.....there is also the Pontentiometer but not the safest route. Dsmlink eliminates certain CELs or tells the ECU to stop checking for them.....
get it its worth every single penny....

 

[1fast97gsx]

yea .. but you don't need it for the swap. No doubt its an awesome thing to have though.

I think what he meant to say is that with the 1g cas on a 2g head you'll get a CEL for missfires (but you won't accually get amissfire) even thought everyting is fine. But there is a fix as chaye pointed out, check out the site at the bottom it'll show you the fix.

 

[1fast97gsx]

don't even bother with a 2g head .. swap in the whole thing and be happy.

 

[Mitsu_Racing]

Agreed 1G head. Even people with 2G's put 1G heads on there 2G block. I'm gonna be doing a swap also and i'm gonna go with a complete 1g setup.

[1fast97gsx]

I kept the 7 bolt block and just rebuilt it but I swapped on a 1g head. Lets hope it stays alive

 

[90 AWD]

The options I have. Which would be the best option for the $$$ and time

96 GST.. blown head gasket


1. Rebuild stock 7 bolt motor...
2. Rebuild stock 7 bolt bottom end with 1G head/intake
3. 6 Bolt swap.....with rebuild first


I'm also in CA if that matters.




btw heres what I'm working with.
