Getting a complete 6 bolt motor from oil pan up. Now with my 2g, what do I need for bolting up to my automatic transmission? I know I had a plate thing attached to my flywheel but it was a 7 bolt. Can I just get another one of those but 6 bolt and a 6 bolt flywheel? Would it bolt right up to my torqe converter

OH and will the 2g ECU and wire harness be ok to still use?
 
The ecu is fine. Only thing you'll have to do is wire in the 1g cam angle sensor. The 7bolts have a separate crank and cam sensor. The 6bolt does not have a crank sensor so the 1g cam angle sensor simulates both signals to the ecu. Its the thing that makes this whole swap possible. I'm not sure about the flexplate though. Someone will chime in I'm sure.
 
ok dummy search not my thing. Wire thread anywhere? I do appoligise

Im getting the 6 bolt block, and head, and intake manifold. Do I still need to do wiring?
 
YAY you posted links to which I already found in the search, BUT I still dont know if I can buy a 6 bolt flywheel and flexplate, and it bolt directly to my Tq. converter

simple short answer : No

you will need the kiggy kit, unless your a master at fabing up the 6bolt 3 fin plate to the 4 fin 7bolt Tq.

You will need the Kiggly 6 bolt 2g install kit for your automatic like i do. Its fricken $320 for a flex plate which is crazy stupid, but needed. Got to pay to play
 
the kiggly flex plate is only $110 plus shipping. i don't get what their other kit is that costs $320 or why just a flex plate would ruin a trans.
 
I was looking at the kiggly kit OMG yeah I think I have to get another 7 bolt for the time being I just dont have that kind of money right now but theres the flex plate and the kit for $320 but does anyone know if the plate comes with the kit I didnt see a pic of it so I dont know and someone said u have to change the wiring isnt that what the kit is for to change the cam positioning sensor or what ever it was sorry for the constant replies I just want to find out substituted my cigarette addiction with my car so now I have to get my dosages of my car and it doesnt run so I need to know all this stuff
