JDM engine problem..

[craziloki]

So I just recieved my JDM engine and tranny today.. I was looking at it, and it has a completely different intake manifold and an extra sensor on the camshaft casing. It does not say Cyclone on it. The linkage is on the opposite side. It is longer than stock 2g. The TB inlet appears to be larger. The runners also appear to be larger bore. What do I do with this thing? Should I attempt to use it or use my old stock 2g? any help would be nice. Thnx..

sorry, here are the pics.. I got a message about quota? am I only allowed to post certain amount?

You can upload up to 10 images per post, but each image can't be larger than 488.7kb and 700x700 resolution.

In the 2nd to last picture, locate the black circle between the valve cover and the head. You should be able to install a 1g CAS in there (pending on how the cam is set up). You might even be able to swap in your cams from your other engine if you still have it and use a 2g CAS.

There are some other things I noticed that will need changed, such as the alternator because it looks to have a N/T plug on it. I'm also not sure if the thermostat housing will work or not.

 

[craziloki]

Yeah Im going to use the water neck off of my old engine.. the alternator is a N/T? why would it have that? Also why does the sensor have to go on the other side? Thank you for all your help guys...

 

[snowborder714]

I don't know too much about this engine.

You probably need to use a 1g/late 2g CAS, which mounts on the thermostat housing side of the engine, where that black circle plug is. If you use a 2g, you'll have to make sure the intake cam accepts it (needs to be threaded). If you use a 1g, you'll have to make an adapter harness for this to work, but will be adjustable unlike the 2g.

The turbo alternator plug is a 4 pin plug.

Aha, just went an inspected the other motor does have the sensor on the other side.. What is the easiest way to get that plug out? take the valve cover off?.

 

[acdavis25]

It is a seven bolt. I bought it from tiger japanese out of canada. I can take pics.. Im seriously contemplating just using my stock 2g mani..

how much did it all cost

 

[snowborder714]

Yep, you have to.

You can see in the beginning of this post how the 2g CAS works. As I said, you might need to swap cams or tap the ones that are in there (I'd probably just swap). You'll have to do some searching on this though.

I thought this would just be a plug and play project... this is turning out to be a headache...

almost 1800 shipped..

Umm is it just me or does this motor look like and evo3 motor? the reason i say such is the intake manifold looks almost identical to a evo3 intake manifold maybe its just me but thats what im thinking. i know this much it looks nothing like a 1g or 2g intake manifold.

 

[snowborder714]

His other thread on the engine. It looks like an Evo 3/RVR.

RVR motor....my JDM engine has the Cam and Crank sensors in the same spot.

yes you could say that but was the water inlet an outlet the same on your motor as it is on his? if so it could quite possible be a evo3/ RVR motor if not then it would be an Evo3 motor. my point is that No 1g or 2g motor came with those water inlets and outlets.

 

[craziloki]

Yes, both sensors are on the same side.. The water inlet is closed off, I guess to fill at the radiator. (just gunna put my old one on). I got off the phone with tiger japanese, and the tech said it was probably an evo motor. He suggested changing, intake and exhaust from old motor. I dont see a diff with the exhaust but ill look a little closer..

So... Whether this is RVR or EVOIII my stock US ECU will work on this right?

 

[snowborder714]

You'll be using your stock wiring harness, so it should. I'm not sure if all the sensors are the same or not though, so you might either want to post up and ask (if they look different) or just swap them from your old engine.

 

[craziloki]

Thanks Brian.
I will try an get my old sensor in the hole.. Hope it works! if not ill do some research on the 1g sensor you were telling me about. I just don't want to get TOO INDEPTH with this. Im just want my car back!!

 

[craziloki]

The inlet on the TB measured 2.5" which converts to 63.5mm.

 

[craziloki]

I have a JDM engine with im assuming 95/96 CAS (on driverside, CAS and Cranksensor side-by-side?). Am I able to take my(98 GSX) CAS plug on the harness, rewire plug to fit this CAS without anymore modification? (and work properly)

 

[RayBan GST]

can you please share with us the follwoing info about this engine: or the RVR engine


which Turbo does it have ? is it the t25 or a 16g ?

which BOV does it have? is it the plastic evo 8 BOV or ?/

which intercooler does it have? is it bigger than our stock 2g intercooler and if its really bigger and more efficent does it fit in our 2 g


i am asking this because i saw yesterday a RVR engine for USD 500.00 and i just want to make sure that its really worth buying it as an upgrade or spare parts.

Thanks

That doesnt look like the evo3 intake. The plenum is way too long and its rather small in diameter as well WTF.

The evo3's Ive seen look very similar to the 2gs without the MAP sensor hole.

the RVR 4g63t's come with the TDO4hl 13g and the intake manifold is the same as the evo3 just without the EGR system in it throttlebody is different and the top part of the thermostat housing is also different

I was wrong. That is the evoIII mani or it looks very similar to DSMunknowns find.

craziloki,

I didn't have to modify my JDM sensors or wiring harness, it's all stock.

If your going with the 1g cas Magnusmotorsports.com makes a plug n play harness for $75.00 it should plug into those two connectors and the other end has the connector for the 1g adjustable CAS.

It is an RVR motor, look at the throttle body.

To the OP, the intake manifold on that motor is an upgrade to the one that you had so you should keep it if you can get away with not have EGR. I'd suggest that you port the throttle body inlet on it to 60mm and then use a 1g tb on it.
