i've posted this before i think but now i'm SERIOUS...

I need a swap done next week preferably in Long Beach but within a 30 min radius is fine as well..i don't care if its a shop or your grandma's garage if you have the tools, skills, and the time then i need a swap done and of course i'm WILLING TO PAY.

Here is the deal i live in Long Beach and have a now stock (dpfi d15b2) 89 LX, i have a complete d16a6 with tranny, plugs/sensors, mounts, etc. as well as an extra dx wiring harness...I HAVE EVERYTHING NEEDED FOR THIS SWAP except for an Si ecu.

Now i leave next monday to go back home (norcal) and i need someone to do a swap for me when i'm gone for a week, now you better damn make sure you can supply some references or people to vouch for you cause i can't just drop my car off at anyones house.

So basically you have an entire week from Monday to Sunday night to finish this swap and i want my car to be running and in good condtion cause i have smog coming up on Sept 16th and i just failed with my d15 and it seems that its going to cost about $150 to get all corrected.

So here as well are the extra services i'm looking for....
-i need an pm6 ecu whic hopefully i can get before then
-also i was planning on extending my wiring harness to the firewall so about a 1ft extension on all sensors/plugs.
-i need the timing belt changed on the new engine

thats seems to be about it...anyway get back to me either email, pm, whatever and let me know if you can FOR SURE DO IT!! then we can negotiate price...you must understand that if you have any doubt whether you can do it then don't even bother me cause i have 0 time to be without a car when i get back with work and school plus with smog coming up.

Hey thanks and sorry to write so much.

EDIT: and of course for those that see it this way, i didn't mean for this post to come off with a sense of attitude but with a sense of urgency, this is something i really need done and of course i don't want to bulls#!t anyone, i would rather be a little brash and lay it all down then have any confusion or questions about my situation.

so again apologies if i have irritated or insulted anyone by the demeanor of this post, i'm asking for help and i'm not trying to be an a@@hole

Judging by your demeanor in this post I doubt that anyone would want to help you.

 

how much you willing to pay? i know i had a motor taken out and a different one put in, both the same motor and both stock. $500 bucks at a shop. so yeah

 

Why would it cost $150 to pass smog? Are you sure that you can even pass somg with the new swap???

 

$150 for a new eacv, have to buy a new gauge cluster (check engine light thing),get timing done...etc etc. my engine is a piece of crap and i figure instead of spending any money on this engine that i'm going to swap out anyway i might as well just use that money to swap in the engine..

and of course there is no guarantee whether i will pass smog with this one either?

 

I think I have an EACV you can have for $10.

 

i can guarantee you a smog pass for $250

On a side note, won't you need to get the A6 reffed and CARB approved since your current VIN says you have the 1.5 DPFI engine? Or are you hoping they don't look to hard at the vacuum lines and just get on with the sniffer test?

 

i'm just praying that that they wont really look too hard...i mean besides the manifold the engines look identical so we will see.

and of course even if i do get sent to a ref that swap is completely legal so i doubt there would be any problem whatsoever
