6bolt ina 2g Question

One other thing. If you are going to put a 2G head ona 6-bolt block, you will need to bore out the head stud passages to clear the larger 6-bolt head stud hardware. Just an fyi.

I am still having a problem threading the timing belt side motor mount bolt into the frame but I will be ok.

I'm sure you would get it in time, but here is a tip that might help. The motor will naturally fall back to the firewall side. Pick up on the intake manifold enough and that through-bolt will thread right in. Beats forcing it and risking damage to the threads, and saves time. And this is easier with two people naturally.
 
ok, I will try that next time that i will I work on it. Thanks for the helpful advise as always.
 
OK, I'm also in the middle of installing a JDM 6-bolt in my 95 GSX and have a question about the coil packs. Do I need to pick up a 1G coil pack or can I use the 2g? I see it on the parts list from Magnus but does the 2g wiring harness connector plus right into the 1g coil pack or do I have to make some modifications to the wiring?

Parts List
Compiled by Sean Caron with the help of the DSM1Gina2G list.


1G Water Pipe
1G lower radiator hose
1G Thermostat housing/ Water Neck

Swap Plugs 1 and 4 with 2 and 3 (order is not important)

On a 97+ car with stock 2G head

No plug swap or injector swap is necessary

For a complete 1G 6-bolt head/block


Lifted direct from Magnus, thanks Marco...

that is put a little confusing. if you do a 2g head you need to stick with the 2g water pipe, hoses, and water neck, the 1g stuff won't work. when you go to a 1g head you swap that that stuff. i know it confused me when we did my swap


stick with the 2g coil pack, but you can use certain 1g years
 
OK that sounds good, so I can stick with my 2g coil pack then....Do you happen to know if the 1g and 2g coil packs accept the same spark plug wires? I've never seen a 1g coil pack in person so thats the reason for these questions...

im using my ngk wires from my old 7bolt on my 1g coil pack and it works fine.
 
I've got a set of 1g NGK plug wires and was wondering if they will work with the 2g coil pack?

Make sure you go with the proper 6bolt flywheel per your application. FWD tranny -->FWD 6 bolt flywheel. Same deal with the AWD trannies.

Maybe because the FWD and AWD flywheels are different diameters. If you got a 6bolt FWD flywheel to work on an AWD tranny setup, then you didn't have a FWD flywheel to begin with.

Please stop spreading incorrect information.
