Swapping a J32A into my Teg with the Hasport kit.

Put a deposit down on a J32A full swap (Engine, trans, ECU, wiring, cables, shift box, starter, alternator) from the wreckers. Went to check out the motor before they pulled it and the hood was off. The car was in a front end collision.

Bolts on the engine are slightly rusted, intake manifold is sun scarred.

Could this engine be compromised after spending so much time in the rain/sun/weather?

For $2500 of cold hard cash, I wanted to ask and get opinions.

Oh yeah its completely **** up

 

Um, thanks. Care to elaborate on that?

I wouldnt be too worried. If you want, do a compression test on the engine. All you need is a starter, tranny, and a battery to do it. And of course make sure there is oil in it. Only thing i would be worried about is if there has been water sitting in the spark plug holes. Look for cracked hoses

 

We pressure wash our motors and they pretty much sit outside on pallets for a while after that. Nothing really happens to them.

 

Haha, I didn't like you or your comment I'm glad you're banned.

 

That's what I figured but I wanted to be sure. Thanks man.

 

will you do me a BIG favor man.....

would you mind PM'ing me a link when you start your swap thread...?
i would appreciate it...

 

You should be alright.

 

You got it...

Considering this yourself? I can't wait to get into this... it will be um... unbelievably stupid fast.

Well, from an OEM standpoint that is. As far as I'm concerned, this swap has the best of all worlds. It's different, it's OEM, powerful, has loads of torque and has a lot of potential.

 

ya, ive been considering this for years but i used to hang around a bunch of closed minded individuals who keep telling me how dumb it would be and what not... so ya, there starting to pop up now and its a lot cheaper then any 4cyl swap, with a bigger gain in power and torque...

 

too bad u wont be able to close your hood...but its badass for a track car

 

Yeah hood clearance is the only issue I've seen so far with these swaps.

OP what are your plans for axles? Is somebody making V6 hybrid swap axles already?

 

I DON'T THINK IT LOOKS TO BAD WITH NO HOOD ON THE CAR BECAUSE ITS SUCH A BAD @$$ MOTOR...IM TRYING TO DO THE SAME SWAP INTO A CIVIC. AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL BE RELIABLE AND FAST STOCK bump

 

yes, theres a guy on here with a full swap thread, $200 will get the axels redone for use in a civic... cant think of his name but will post his thread in a few minutes... there are also track vids of the car...

Not sure but I don't think it's legal to ride around with no hood... not to mention it's all out there for everyone to see what you have, and you have rain and other elements getting all over it.

 

Noone is going to drive around with no hood. If you do you're an idiot. Not to mention like you said, everyone would see what you have.

It's not hard to have a stock hood modified made with a nice smooth bump for the clearance of the motor.

That shouldn't be a determining fact if your considering this swap.

I think a Teg with a smooth "power bump" will be bad ***. I'll smoke a lot of stuff with this swap. Can't wait.
