OK im an idiot for not thinking of any of this crap but heres my problems:

got the motor mounted in last night, then i realized i forgot to get d series torque mounts. are they different between egs and eks or are they the same?

now for power steering. the y8 line that is in my car did not fit on the z6 pump, the hole on the pump is too small. so i tried putting the y8 pump on the z6 bracket, and it didn't work so wtf do i need to do about that? What bracket do i need to make the y8 pump fit?

And the throttle cable:
do i need a different throttle cable bracket? using the stock z6 one on the stock z6 manifold, theres too much slack in the cable even adjusted to the tightest setting. what do i do?!

help please!!!

I just installed a z6 into a 96 dx which is the same for the most part. I had to change the mount thats on the trans and the mount thats on the timing belt side and it went in just fine. I would say you need to use the lower and upper driverside mounts from the y8 on the z6 and then use the y8 pump. Thats just my guess since I didnt have power steering to deal with. I would say just make a custom throttle cable bracket, just find some decently thick steel drill some holes and make it work. Im sure it will take some trial and error. Just my 2 cents. good luck

alright its going smoothly so far. engine dropped right in by changing just the rear mount bracket.

as for power steering, all i need is a belt now. i found a bolt that worked to secure it to the upper bolt hole on the mount. woot.

and i also figured out the throttle cable. i just unbolted the bracket, moved it over so only 1 bolt was in one of the holes (other bolt hole is sticking out) so it moved the cable to have more tension, it works!

so far so good!! just waiting on rywire to ship me my conversion harnesses!

got my injector plugs spliced in and my alternator plug spliced in, got my axles in and the front suspension put back together. It's coming together nicely.


Where is the plug for the o2 sensor on the header? i see now plug on my harness -_-

Luckily I had already done the z6 intake manifold on the y7 so I didnt have to figure out the throttle cable. Also I had the complete y7 so I reuesed alternator and injectors. It runs fine on the obd2 compter but it has a cel for the ckf code 54, the conversion will fix this which is also what im waiting for. Did you ues the z6 dizzy? It ran like crap untill I changed that, just a heads up, all the wire colors match up its easy just make sure you soder.
