so are u reaplacing the PS hose cuz on my swap the hose was a lil diferent and it lookd a lil a b***h to replace the hose well so how was it ? was i right ? did you do it from the bottom or the top ? i would suggest you make sure all the fluids are OK coolant especialy let run for about 2min and then open the rad. cap and put some more make sure every thing looks good you should see some smoke come out of the under the motor its fine its oil burning for the header you touched let it idel goor a good 10min at lest, keep an eye on the temp, leaks , funny noises and GET READY 4 VTAKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

ya pretty much everything we talked about was right. i used the engine harness from the ex and had to do a little cutting on it. but everything pretty much snapped right in. i used the si mounts for the the rear and drivers side. no problem there. i had a little trouble with the distributor wires but we figured it out pretty quick. i got everything in, and we are replacing the p/s hose, and ya it was TOUGH taking it out. we drained and refilled all the fluid lines and now were just waiting on the p/s hose , the throttle cable and the jumper harness. the harness should come in today. i pick up the other two on sat. and THEN..... i drive it home !! YES SIR ! we had an engine jack so we dropped it in from the top. ill let you know how it goes on sat ! preciate the help bro !!!

FINALLY ! i got the swap in and this thang is TIGHT! it pulls so hard ! i love it. i got one question. my mph gauge is not working. just curious if it's a wire or a plug. has anyone had that problem before ?

 

[ST8JDM]

did you plug the speedo sensor back in ?? i was so xided i for got to do that is the sensor that is on the back/top of the tranny were you put your tranny fluid in

 

[Ekteg2k]

ya i plugged it in. do u think the wire could be bad ?

 

[ST8JDM]

i dont think the wires would take a dump on you but the sensor will try that

 

[Ekteg2k]

also which power steering pump and power line did you use ? the gsr one just aint workin. there are too many bends

 

[steve98ex]

i used the pump from the gsr and the lines from the ex

 

[Ekteg2k]

what year motor do you have. i have an obd1 motor. the holes where the bolts go dont match up correctly.
