Latest photos of motor swap so far
If you are on 56k , know that this may take a while .. pics re 800x600 ...
anyway I never really got to take photo's of how far I reached in the swap , but I figured I would take a few shots and give the link to you guys , I did manage to get the car started today after a bit of starter effort. the 1.5 harness had to be custom wired up for the 1.8 enigine and maf .. I did get it to start but did not run it more than a second due to I need to change the downpipe, 1.5 and 1.8 use different down pipes .. and I also need to clean up the emissions wires .. http://protosportracing.tripod.com/zstall18.htm Thanks for looking . I am going to bed Bruce |
Just curious, how are you making your splices? Crimp connectors or what? If you are using crimp connectors, let me suggest that you use solder and heat shrink. It's a pretty hostile environment under the hood.
My $0.02. |
I have only had to splice 3 wires that are next to the motor. and they were spliced and then put back into the factory harness wireing and then wraped up with electrical tape , I will do like you suggest and go back in there and solder and heat shrink them , but I need to get the car fully running and then check for any error codes that the ecu may spit out ..
Next thing I need to change the flex joint , which looks like it wants to be a pain in the ass for the bolts to come off... any suggestions? I tried to get it off before and the damn bolts started to twist .. I could cut off the bolts as the donor flex pipe from the sephia came with all the bolts Bruce |
coming along good man. nice work.
|
Very nice Bruce, can't wait to see the end result!
|
A yo Bruce how much longer do you have to go on the swap ?
Can't wait to see it in action :D |
Well I just have to connect another flex pipe. then flush the engine , make sure all the emission plugs are in the correct places. check the o2 sensor, and so forth, not to mention 2 new axles.

I have hardley had a chance to get anything done . Last I worked on the car I was filling it with antifreeze and working on connecting the downpipe. But with the power outage, work and what not I have had no chance to work on the car. I will be this week though .
Tomorrow I am supposed to be going to Jersey to help adam pull his BP and pull his GTX clip .. |
