The stock 2G sender will fit fine in the 1G oil filter housing. No tapping is needed.

As for using a water-cooler; I am not sure if a 1G( 6-bolt in particular) has the correct water pipe setup to do this. I am sure something could be rigged up if needed though.

Just a quick update the motor is togeather I finished it last night except for the new timing belt parts the intake is done turbo exhaust manifolt alternator ps pump its all there. So Im going to do the timing belt tonight and I should be ready for the installation. I have a bunch more pictures for everyone at home I forgot the camera today I had to do a little trimming here and there and want everyone to see what needs to be done. Tonight I will start cleaning up the trans.

As for the Oil filter housing I am going to use the oil cooler approach and put a fan on it as well to keep it cool. I am going to re use my oil cooler that my auto trans used to need saves me a few bucks and should work fine. I will post more pics mondaay/tuesday.

DSMJIM I told you to get that damn car off my hoist I need to finish mine first.

Couple quick Q's can I use the 1G plug wires with the 2g coil pack ( I can't see why not)

Also can I use my 2g Plugs in the 6 bolt motor they are almost brand new?

 

[hellotbone]

Here is where to get the locations for supplying your turbo with oil.http://www.roadraceengineering.com/...lineinstall.htm

Side Note: Guess Im buying a new camera the guys working on the electrical in my garage decided they needed it more then me while I was on holidays.

 

[hellotbone]

Hey TREE Im editing what I said after talking to a rad/oil/intercooler shop the AUTO TRANS OIL COOLER WILL NOT flow enough. So I have to go to crappy tire and get one.

 

[hellotbone]

OK last night I changed the BS belt and the Timing belt did all the tensioners pulleys everything is all brand new.

So the engine is complete and ready to swap in. My tranny is in the pressure wash machine here at work right now its going well.

Problem I ran into. My Auto Rear Diff is marked on teh back LSD and the 5 speed one is marked BFB or something and the ratio's are different ontop of that so are the CV shafts. So I am going to pull the CV shafts out of the donor car but just a heads up to those swapping the rear Passenger side CV shaft IS different as well as the front!

Also when changing the motor mount where the tensioner pulley mounts no where in the swap docs does it say you need to RE-USE the arm from the 6blot mount wanted to make a note for when I compile this into a Vfaq.

Modding the belt guard is realitively easy you just need to remove the 2 motor mount studs from the mount and then slot the guard to fit over it. I ordered a new camera which will be here today for more pics.

 

[hellotbone]

I know pics comming, I mean when you change the motor mount on the engine which fits behing the timing belt the one you have to modify you also have to change the small arm the tensioner pulley mounts to from teh 6bolt one.

 

[hellotbone]

Did the peddles and shifter and cables last night. Pics coming camera supposed to ship in today.

 

[hellotbone]

Treebonker I completely re-used all the 6bolt coolant stuff the waterneck etc just replaced the T stat. Also you have to swap your sensors from the 7bolt to make it work properly.

Also about the tensioner you buy everything for a 1g timing belt/tensioner pulleys/then you use your 2g motor mount which has an Arm that the tensioner with the cam attaches to. You have to swap this arm that the tensioner pulley is attached to from your 1g motor mount. So you are using your 2g mount with the 1g tensioner arm. You also use a 1g Auto tensioner its just as if you were working on a 1G.

That is a pretty large project you are taking on. Nice garage b.t.w.

Can I have your auto tranny?

 

[hellotbone]

ACT 2600 Clutch this pertains to the Manual swap Im doing at the same time not to much to explain here set the clutch on the flywheel bolt the pressure plate on and toss the new throw out bearing on.

 

[hellotbone]

Manual trans before I cleaned it up. Still needs the throwout bearing and the Tcase seal installed.

 

[hellotbone]

OK this is what I was talking about before for slotting the Timing belt cover. If you remove the two bolts from the motor mount in the picture you can just slot the cover and slide it on it. Then put the two mount studs back in.

 

[hellotbone]

6bolt ready to go just gotta bolt the tranny up to it and drop it in the hole.

Precision Mitsu flanged t3-t4 50 trim pictured.

 

[hellotbone]

Here is a side shot of it to show everyone how the waterneck is routed etc... I will have to get an onhose filler cap because the 6bolt stuff has no provisions for any.

 

[hellotbone]

This is how I mounted the coil and Igniter pack to try and keep the bay clean its tucked neatley along the side and will not be visible from the top of the car. Also note the butterfly valves zip-tied open

 

[hellotbone]

This shows the Reservoir and mounting holes in the firewall as you can see mine had two round stickers covering them just peel the stickers and the holes are there drilled and tapped for you. However the holes for the master must be drilled and cut in the firewall but they are stamed on the inside. I drilled the two bolt hoels and then used an air die drinder to open the larger master hole up. If I was doing this again I would just use a holesaw. You pretty much need a 90* drill to do this part.

 

[hellotbone]

This is the donor car with the holes in the firewall to give you an idea of what you are cutting out on the Right side. NOTE YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE BRAKE BOOSTER to do this. YOU ALSO DO NOT NEED to remove the dash steering wheel etc. I even did it with the driver seat in my car.

 

[hellotbone]

Ok this is the car with the auto shifter gutted but cables still in place.

 

[hellotbone]

Here is the manual trans shifter before I take it to work and glass bead it. Will be in tomorrow night.

 

[hellotbone]

Here is a misc shot of the donor car hope mine never looks like that! :thumbdown this is after is hun a rod though the oil pan and caught an oil fire under the car and engine bay.

 

[hellotbone]

Just a shot showing where I mounted the knock sensor wire harness next to the cas its close to the 7bolts stock location. The proper 1g 60mm TB installed not that useless JDM one my motor came with. For those questioning the hose routing you can see I marked those in the picture. Now the hose sticking straight up and the one with the two clamps wrapped down and under go to the TB.

 

[hellotbone]

Manual trans ECU to go in.
