    oh year! rotor!
    i have to find the engine and "some other parts" first, get some pick up or van, and take the whole thing to the expirienced japanese mechanic! However, i would like to watch the swap myself, who knows, maybe one day i will have the expirience and tools to do it!
    One day you are born,
    The next big milestone
    you discover go zoom-zoom
    you can't get enough!



    Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap that mother@#?!&! upside the head!!!

          actually i am a fan of the rum and McD's coke. I am taking my sweet time with the wiring. _someone_ asked for a how too, so there is lots of work, stop take pic, have a smoke, do a little more work, break something, fix it, take a picture, ect...

          The dohc will be started tonight

          So his engine he goosed
          With much too much boost,
          And drove a rod through his block.

              we're off to dry crank her..... no fuel, no spark. (prevent hydrolock, and clean any **** out, hopefully).

              then in about 5 minutes....
              we turn her over


              pray for Ahura's Flame, that we are successful!

                  well she runs, but she be a wee bit sick. We are pulling a CEL for codes 3, 9, and 41.

                  41, well we lack a VICS solenoid, so that was expected
                  9, well we knew the harness for the ECTS was not the best, and we aready suspected a broken wire in that harness
                  3, well, i have not idea why we are pulling a disty G code. i think the wiring i used was of too small a diameter, or we have a break in the wire.

                  but other than that the caridles at 2500, bit that is probably due to the ECTS code. and we think/know the timming is way off. also the new plugs need to be gapped.

                      hey if you guys need help, hollar. i dont know my scedual, but if i can make it, ( might need some help in the gas/beer money area. but i will help.

                      and Kevin, dude no worries, things are simple in small steps. think of an engine swap as a 300step process try to jump steps and you will fall down, tkat it easy, take your time, and a swap is quite easy.

                      also for swaps i highly recomend you guy a 128+ compartment tackle box, for bolts. organization is key, to the reassembly. believe me, organize and label the bolts you pull!!!

                        well, well, 6 hours swap! damn thats fast! i did mine for 2 days i'd say 12 hrs. when i had the motor in i was having a problem big time. it wouldn't start. i was working on it for 4 hours changing my starter, clutch switch etc...anyways after pushstarting it to work i remember my alarm has a kill start so i tried to install it and everything worked fine (duh) I didn't get anycode no engine light on but my rpm was at 2,500 too but thats bcuz of my pcv vacuum line wasn't hooked up. (vacuum leak) maybe u guys have a lil vacuum leak somewhere.

                        and for the record! i used my 323 wiring harness but did a modification on it cuz as y'all know 323 dont come w/ VICS. i have to cut and get the wire from the lx distributor ign., the VICS wire that i ran on a seperate wire it goes straight to the ecu. ( thats a tip for all of u thats going to do the swap) ahh wut else...i cant remember but i know i modified 2 wires that goes stragiht from the engine to the ecu.

                            You know what man. i really wanted to meet you. but as fate would have it thing just didnt work out. i also really wanted to see Darryl too. We did toss around the idea that he would come down to El Cajon and see me but things never panned out. a big bummer, but hey life goes on. my cali trip was not a loss thought. Dave's car is now a Dohc, and i got to escape a snow and ice storm. i really wish so people would have made an 1.5 hour effort to see me. but maybe next time, if there is a next time. i seriously doubt there will be a next time. You never know i might get a smiled on and win the lottery. i spent all of my emergency money to get down here and placed a bet on the wrong horse. i really wish i had worked 2 hours faster on Dave's car, to get the timming right so i could drive to see you guys.

                            Oh well take what you can. Charles you know my AOL, we
                            ll keep in touch. i dont know if i can make it one my planned summer road trip, as i blew my budget to get here to help Dave with his swap

                            I dont regret anything. I would spend another week at Dave's but i mean i was 90 minutes off. 90 minutes, damn, that is the kinda thing where you just play the what if situation.

                            did i enjoy Cali? Yes, would i do it again yes. is Dave an awesome guy, YES. is it his fault, **** NO. Dave, you did what you could do, i just came up short. i know i could have finished 90 minutes earlier if i had only****ingclued into sertian signs from the engine. i feel like such a retard. i know i clud have finished 4 hours to a day earlier if i had only taken a step back and said why...

                            and Darryl, Chigago(sp) you better be there, and _DAMN_ soon! i mean you had a chance to drive an meet me, all you had to do was skip a pro meet in Life plaza.

                            as for my only impression fo Cali, this is a cool place. i only hope i can afford something like this again. a ****ing snowballs chance in hell i'll afford to come back, but if i can do it i will. Even for an engine swap!
