Do it right the first time.

 

buy or borrow a cherry picker and air tools.. unlike my first swaps

If something doesn't fit correct, or go together in what feels like the correct way -STOP. Ask. Be ready to take pictures so that others can help you. A picture at times can say 1,000 words!

Good luck

trust me i plan to do it right the first time. i got the complete swap from hmotors a while ago and have been slowely been putting a turbo kit together. finally my t3/to4e 60 trim comes in wednesday. ill have a camera and laptop on hand for the pics and questions and some air tools also. the only thing i dont have is a cherry picker. i am substuting that with a bobcat s300 any last suggestions?

 

put it in with the turbo kit off, put it in with the harness on the motor. pull off the heater hoses and stuff from the fire wall. oh yeah, raise the car up and pull the motor (IE you dont have to fool with the bitch pin until the motor is out of the car , and diconnect the harness at the ecu and leave it on the mototr when you pull it out

 

Take your time, double triple check everything, dont guess on anything, and dont be intimidated, youll be fine
