girlfriends 1998 GTS Spyder motor blew, her dad in a fit of stupidity did not let me do the work and he tore the head off, cut all the lines and created a disater.
next he left it for me to fix

i ordered a jdm motor, was out of town when it arrived and so when i got back it was past their 10 day return. go firgure...... it is a 4g63t, but i dont know what year. all i know is it cam off an auto tranny,

heres what i got so far, modded the flywheel like i did on a swap on another car and worked fine. motor is in, eveything is connected except a few random lugs and vacuum lines.

on the oem motor there were some parts i swapped over to the jdm on the intake. also on the oem there is a cam angle sensor on the tranny side of the motor. jdm it appears to be on the cam pulley side. left unconnected.

tried starting it...... starts for about 3 seconds then dies.

granted i only pluged in the majority of the vacuum lines from what i could tell mattered and i left the cam angle sensor unconnected.
i know thats prbably one issue, but could anyone help me?????

any ideas? is there a very CLEAN detailed routing diagram of vacuum lines to look at? all the ones i have seen arent that great. real photos would be awesome. the cam thing i am going to fix by just swapping the oem sensor onto the jdm head, quick fix if the cam will allow it.
 

yeah, i looked at that and it helped a bit, but not much. i was really hoping for some one to have pictures available of their routing. her dad really messed this all up. i guess the best thing for me to do would be post pics of everything so one of the Eclipse God's can help me out here.

like on issue i am having is the Greddy BOV has 2 vac lines. i know one has to go to the manifold in order to create the valve operation on throttle closure, but what about the other one? also there is a canister valve looking thing under the batter with like 2 or 3 ines running ot of it. i mean i know i sound kinda dumb, i have worked on turbo eclipses before but not recently, and i have never encountered a nightmare like this with a JDM swap...... granted I am more specialized in Toyotas (i know every one is booing right now) but this is just confusing. and the chiltons manual is not any help at all.

i will post pics of everything tomorrow and maybe get this thing solved.
