I know its not anything to go wild over and everyone and thier mom has done this but hey this is my first time doing this type of project working with very little tools. very ghetto engine hoist and a way kick *** friend that stuck by and helped me all the way through. Im open to comments and welcome to be made fun of..

The Removal Of the Engine

The Beast!!!


The Junk! (D15B1 I got owned when i bought my si it had a dx motor. guess they blew the A6 up)


My friend Having Sex with my Z6


The Empty CRX



The On To The Install

The *** Clown.. All he does is Clean every part in sight just because it "MUST BE CRISPY!!" as he says.



The Two Mechanics... Im on the Right Side.


Almost Done....


Mission Completed...




Now all that is needed is for the turbo setup to be completed..

Here is a sneek peek at 1 product i have so far..

 

looks good man
can wait till i get some money to do my y8 swap

 

congrats on getting the motor in there, now, clean up the wiring!

 

yup.. i did.. didnt wanna make it pretty untill i was sure v-tec was working right.
worked on first try..

 

Did you get that all done in one day?

 

Technically Yes... started Friday night at 8pm. Finished Saturday At 730pm.

No sleep... Just lots off food will power to make it crank. she runs beutifull..
1 small coolant leak. ill fix it when i recover from my 36 hours of no sleep. im still sleepy and i slept from 10pm saturday to 3pm Sunday.

 

Nice swap, hope the one i'm planning runs as smoothly.

btw, I thought the pic in your avatar was you before i saw that pic with you on the right.

 

haha ya its me with a stupid wig and glasses..

 

lol thats pretty funny. Is that all he does though ? lol anyways good job on the swap. Looks clean.

 

Sweet man! Thanks for sharing the pics, they entertained and humored me
So what method did you use to put the engine in?

 

so how did u get it in? slide the engine underneath the car? did you yank off the bumper etc? im going to do one soon so let me know!
how hard was the wiring? did you convert to obd1?

 

i borrowed an engine hoist from the guy next door. it was super ghetto but it did the job. im still at obd0 using an rpm activated switch from msd... im in the works of finding a p28 and waiting for blownhatch to return back so i can get his harness and convert to obd1

 

be careful having the car on jackstands under the tow hooks. the tow hooks can bend...

the swap looks good though. good luck with it!

 

great job bro. Looks like everything went smooth as plan. keep us informed about your upcoming turbo setup.

 

is that box on the firewall some sort of vtec engagement?

 

heh ya ghetto style msd rpm activator..
works great... still no fuel management for the high cam but soon ill wire to obd1 and solve my problem.. this was just a temp rigg job to test vtec..

 

sounds good to me.

ghetto fab

 

Hey, I've got a cast iron "HF" style manifold, if you want to port ant polish it and use it as a turbo manifold I'd be glad to sell it to you.</PLUG>

Your swap looks great! have fun with VTEC!

 

Very nice install! Clean CRX!

 

i wanna go to the meet.. :D

 

if i ubolt the head do you think ill have enough clearance to get the engine under the car? what precautions are there if i do so?

 

i have no idea... cuz i put the engine and tranny in as 1 piece along the top of the car. i got lucky with the engine hoist.. the bottom end might fit without the head and no other parts.. then u just put the tranny on.. bolt the tranny mount and the rear mount then put the head.. then put all the parts on the motor.. thats how id do it if i didnt have a hoist.
