S2K KID

Ok well after a year its kinda sad my mx6 is sitting there taking up space. I have a 5spd I wanna put in but if its too much work I will buy another auto tranny. I can go buy the engine at any time. So would someone be able to help me pull the siezed engine out and the tranny and and help me drop in the JDM engine and another tranny?

Bruno? Ray? Anyone. If anyone has an engine hoist they could loan me for 2 days or if not and I have to rent one so be it. But I would like to do this because Im going to end up selling this car sometime because I dont need it with the new car coming.

Thanks

I'm willing to lend a hand.....

Dented DX has pictures of the last time I helped

Well this isnt a civic bro. Its gonna be a lot harder we have to drain rad fluid, trany and oil. Take off header and everything else just to get to the motor mounts its wont be a cake walk. But we have to follow the sequences of removing parts by following the service manual.

Hence why it has been sitting there for two years..

so what exactly is different? witht he dented DX swap we drained all the fluids and axles and everything you'd have to remove for the MR2 .. while I will admit the MR2 engine bay has a larger PITA factor ... and an engine swap is never an easy process..

but I am willing to lend a set of hands and some tools and some elbow grease....

btw the picture I was refering to was the one taken of just how filthy I got while wrenching on a ball joint to get it off.

great advice

S2K KID

yeah well im gonna label all the line yeah im dropping in the 200HP KLZE JDM engine...higher compression yada yada

so im gonna get the cherry picker and an air compressor and tools....bring what you can I need to do the drop in within 2 weeks because the renewal for the plates is coming up and I wanna do it before then shouldnt take more than 1 day. My engine bay is a major pain in the *** v6 with minimal room to play with to reach things. I need a new battery too I just remember that lol. We should be good to go shortly. My buddy who knows mx6's will be helping he has one now he has a sick sick gsr JDM styles you will appareciate it alot! We might be doing 2 drop ins lol. So be prepared for a long day. Im trading my 5spd for an auto for simplicity.

I appreciate your quick response and offer to help. I owe you a couple of beers. It may be damn cold though my garage is big but not heated, im too poor to have a heated garage lol. And the s2k is stored this weekend so perhaps I wont officially store it and I will keep the battery in her until the mx6 is finished. So lets do this bitch up.

dingus it is a direct bolt in except the ZE has issues with passing emissions unless i tap the manifold for the egr valve. Will I? Nope! lol

imported_loudsubz

your doing a 5 spd conversion aswell?

if so good luck getting it done in 1 day

S2K KID

no no im buying another auto tranny replacing the screwed one.

imported_dented dx

oh and for the record its dented dx, NOT dented DX
and jay is a big help, and with any swap you have to pull the engine out to do the fluids have to be drained.

dented dx

imported_gatherer

S2K KID
