    The swap Begins (mx3 + bpd=fun)

    Tomorrow the engine swap officially starts. :D
    The Omp clutch has arrived, after two and a half weeks. The engine is patiently waiting in a corner, the engine harness is waiting the emanage harness to be spliced on it and I 'll spend an hour or more for the next days going to work with bus, metro or taxi.
    Tomorrow (hopefully) I'll have pics :D

          her you go. :D

          The b6 that will be sold so I can buy the front mount i/c.


          The Gtr motor


          The vj-23 covered in oil

          The gtr ecu

          The OMP 5-puck clutch

          The 2.5 exhaust. thank god only the 2 bends were damaged from the crash and the tip of the muffler. Nothing serious.

          My sweet pro...

          On monday I'll get a new oem gtr pressure plate and if it's cheap, i'll have it modded so it will have more clamping force...

              It leaks a bit oil in the oil feed (or return) of the turbo.
              It's in the checklist along with the head cover flange that leaks in the usual spot (at the distributor).

                  It's already kept along with the grille for a friend. If he doesn't take it, we'll see. But shipping would kill you...

                          No time or money to do it. Maybe in the future I'll put a custom lsd that they make here in Greece. The Mx is my DD and it already started to rain here ... :S It sucks when you don't have a car...

                          One question though. 24 x12 x 3 or 21x9x2.5 intercooler?

                            21X9X2.5 will fit better, and I doubt you will notice any performance differences between the two.

                              Home sweet home.

                              When's that thing going to be ready to spark up?
