my engine swap

[ItTricky]

well my cars been sitting almost a year in in the past couple weeks i finally made some progress today espicially.... this got accomplished today

[Constant_Project21]

What's the plan for this? I had a red stealth, looked just like yours.

[ItTricky]

new engine is sitting in the back of my truck just need to swap the trans/ clutch/ flywheel over

[travail]

So why are you doing a swap?

[123abc]

Yeah, we need some back ground.

[scheides]

Yes, more info please.....16g swap while you're at it? New clutch?

[ItTricky]

well isaac , swapping it over cuz it will be cheaper then rebiulding my old motor, which sounds alot like a spun bearing, and no chance on a new clutch as the one in there is a spec stage 3+ with maybe 1500 miles on it, the fly is a RPS CYN-R-G flywheel with the same amount of miles on it. the trans has the same miles on it

[OMGkiwi]

this is really cool! what are you going to run for management?

[ItTricky]

i never had management before not sure yet i'm not gonna be hard on this thing at all till it gets a tune of some sort. not sure exactly i'm just looking to get this thing back together by friday. gots me a wedding to go to in winona on saturday lol

[ItTricky]

i gotta get going back out to the garage. new engine should be in today hopefully get it fired up too

[123abc]

Are you going to run stock once you swap it? You shouldn't need engine management untill you upgrade to larger injectors.

[ItTricky]

stock injectors? yeah most things are stock minus clutch flywheel, equal length headers, '99 lifters, um thats all i reallt know of and the fact that its a TT awd swap lol

I thought that was weird why it has the ES body parts. Do you have progress pics of the swap? A little history on the car?

The car is a ES and my buddy did the VR4 awd swap in to the ES. There was alot of work that when in to doing the swap and there are pics of it to and I know you are thinking why not just get a VR4. Will for what I know the ES is a lot lighter then the VR4 and even with the swap its still lighter. The VR4 parts car ran 12's with out really pushing it.

Oh no doubt, the es would be missing many of the options that the vr4's came with. Is it much the same as a 2g fwd to awd swap?

[ItTricky]

ok having some issues we're noticing some differences between the 2 engines. they are both supposed to be '93s but one of them is missing a few wires that the other one hass anyone have any ideas i can explain what they are if you know what you're talking about.

otherwise we got the flywheel and the clutch transferred over still having some issues getting the trans on... um any hints would help alot

[Wolf0573]

Hey dude, I like the progress! You should paint the rest of the bay while the motor is out.

[ItTricky]

ugh well we hit a huge snag... stupid 2 bolt 4 bolt differences... anyone know the easiest way to set up a 2 bolt engine in a 4 bolts place lol i know some sensors aren't there but i really don't wanna rebuild my old engine especially with this new one sitting here

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

You should check out MN3s, they might be a little more help. There aren't very many 3s guys here.

[s1ngletracker]

Do you know which sensors are different? I'm a 3/s person but don't know the differences between 2/4 bolt
