Hey everyone i'm new here. I have a 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS. Its a nice looker check out my photo i'll have more soon. Anyways when i bought it the previous owner had just built a mildly upgraded non turbo 4g63 for it. somewhere near 190 hp. Anyways it turns out he put in a rod bearing backwards and it spun. So i went out and bought a JDM used motor and put all the extra goodies from the old motor onto the new.
But now i'm stuck. I had a mechanic take the car apart to see what was wrong and before you know it the whole motor is sitting in the back in pieces, the tranny is in the passenger seat, and all the bolts are in a big box. So now that i have the new motor i ask the mechanic to install it and he's backed up for like 2-3 weeks. Well i'm sick of waiting so i'm thinking of doing it on my own. I've done a few RWD motor pull-rebuild-installs on fox body mustangs i've owned in the past but nothing FWD before.
I was hoping someone could help me find diagrams showing which bolts to use for which mounts and stuff like that. I can handle the fuel and electronics on my own but i have no clue how to find the right bolts out of a big box full.
Also i have heard different opinions on how to install it. Some have told me to lift the car and put it in from the bottom, and some have told me to get the crossmember in and set it on that and go from there. All help is appreciated!
