Im getting a new motor for my gsr, and I was wondering if anyone here has any articles, links, how-to's, or anything on putting in a new engine. Im not the best mechanic, but I think if I had something to refer to me and my friends could accomplish it no prob. TIA, bye!

 

i just performed a swap with two knowledgable friends. (i have had very minimal mechanical experience) The helms manual provides step by step instructions on replacing your longblock.

 

ttt....anyone else?

 

its 6 bolts, are wire harness and some hoses. not too hard

yup it sure wont

 

get a helms. its not that hard, and all you really need (speical tool wise) is a hoist. good luck

 

thanks guys. I was pretty sure it was gonna be as easy as you say, but I just really didnt want to run into an unexpected things when I get down and dirty...Tryin to take this motor out and put in the new turbo one in a day....realistically a weekend though

 

more power to ya for attempting this on ur own... i haven't done it... but i kno a couple of dumbasses that were able to accomplish this several times between a hatch and a db8 so i'm sure u can do it too. Keep a couple buddies around jus to help ya... i'm sure it will make things go faster for you.
