I'm prepping to do my first swap.

I've searched and read articles (and yes, I checked all over the hybrid forum). But nothing really shows me how to do a full swap. What I'm looking for is a really good how-to or instructions. Kinda like a walk-thru.

I've seen a few books on Amazon.com, but not sure if they are any good. Can anyone reccomend a good book/video/WEBSITEs (other than helms) that goes over the details of swapping a motor?

Thanks!

[and yes, this is ITR related---the ITR motor will go into an ITR shell]

 

If you dont know what you are doing, find a friend who does and have him do it for you. Help him and learn from him, and make sure you supply him with beer and pizza for his efforts.

If its the first time you are doing something like a motor swap, have someone who knows what they are doing with you. Otherwise you will only encounter problems, stop, post on h-t, continue, stop, post, etc.

Edit: If you dont have a friend who can do it, then pay for someone to do it, and ask if you can watch the process and even help if needed as it's being done. The best way to learn is hands on with someone who knows what they are doing.

 

Find a friend and watch, that's how I learned/learning.

 

i'd rather do it all myself

I'm a DIY'er. I don't care if it takes a while, or if I make mistakes...

Then if you haven't already, invest in a Helm's manual.
