ok heres the run down... been planning for this swap for a few weeks... im putting a Z6 in my '91 hatch... just the block and head im leaving the tranny in for now until i get the money for an si... anyways i have all the parts needed except my wire harness from rywire which should come in a day or two... the guy that ive been working with locally was going to help me put the motor in seeing as ive never done it myself but lately he hasnt been answering his phone unless i use a phone number that he doesnt recognize... called him earlier today and he hung up when he found out it was me... so i figured that for whatever reason this kid has decided he hates me and now i have nobody to help me with the swap... now i need to get my motor from his buddy's house... shouldnt be a problem... anyways now that i got that long story out of the way i was wondering if anyone knew of someone that could help me out... i live in lima, ohio(northwest part) and i will compensate anybody who is willing to help me out with lunch and gas money... thanks a lot for any help you guys can provide

If you want to come down to Cincinnati I'll lend my assistance. I'm all for lending a hand, as that is how I learned to do it on my own, through the time and selflessness given by other Honda people! Do you have all the equipment to do the swap?

 

i have all the equipment to do the swap... the only thing i am waiting on is the conversion harness from rywire but that should come in today... as far as coming down to cinncinati i would love to but the headgasket on the motor currently in the car is blown so i would have to tow it and that is too much hassle... my buddy should be able to help me on monday but im trying to see if i can get it done before then or if i have any help in case something pops up and he cant help... i am learning through the same process... my buddies come over and i help and learn at the same time... thanks for the offer anyways... its just not practical for me to tow the car down now... i was looking to see if anyone could come to me
-Josh

 

Yeah, sorry. Just not reasonable on my end to drive all the way up to Lima. Goodluck with the swap though, I hope all goes well.

 

thanks a lot man

if you are getting the harness and you have the stuff to do the swap it shouldnt be too hard. but i can understand why you would want some help.....bump anyways.

 

yeah ive never pulled an engine before and i would like to have someone there who has so that i dont make any mistakes... want this doen right the first time... anybody free this week? i will buy you lunch and give you gas money!!!! lol
-Josh

 

bump... i still need some help pulling the motor... lmk if you or anyone you know can help... thanks a lot
-Josh

 

 

you got another car? sometimes things dont go as planned...

 

nope... the head gasket on my old motor blew 2 weeks after i bought the Z6 and ive been trying to get all the parts i need for the swap... i just got everything two days ago... now im just trying to get help with pulling the motor and putting the new one in... i can rent the engine hoist and do everything else myself but ive never pulled an engine/tranny and would like some help on my first attempt
-Josh

 

just start goin at it by urself and anytime you run into trouble ask HT. trust me thats what i did and ull get through it fine

 

i did the same things, i mean just pull everything off the best you can, its really not that hard... set aside like 2-3days or a weekend to do everything.... i cant stress enough to take your time... if you dont you start braking ****... but its really not that hard to do a swap... if you have any questions, i will answer them the best i can

 

Im in Newark Ohio, wrk in Columbus only about an hour to you from here..Id help you out man but for real I got sooo much crap goin on right now (gettin married) and I would get killed if I took a day to help you out!! But it is nice to know someones close that is interested in CRX's...

Have any parts for sale local??? or if you need a Garrett turbo + intercooler + b-series mani + downpipe = $500....OR willing to buy remainder of stuff to finish my turbo project. PM ME -Joe

 

well i think thats what im going to do... i really need this in and it would be a great learning experience... you guys will most likely see me asking for help within the next few hours... right now i gotta wait until my girl goes to work at 5 and then try and find someone that can tow an engine hoist to my house(the place that rents them has it so that you need to tow them with a truck) but im starting this swap today... woot woot... thanks for the support guys... and if there is anyone who wants to stop by and lend a helping hand feel free... just give me a call at 419-233-2041... thanks a lot and dont forget to check back on this thread
