FC Want 2 B project details and up dates with pic

first off i know and i under stand what im doing is kind of odd, and il get lots of now Y would you do that lol as the oter mechanic i work with keeps says.
ok so
first off i wanted a 13BTII (FC3s ) engine, i ended up getting one from sunrise japan in montreal Quebec, then engine pakage sold for 1850$ can shiped (keep in mind when i called this guy that week he was the only canadian and usa company that had a 13BtII, so i took the engine, the day it showed up i could have cried, she was so beutiful, it was missing nothing but maf, ABV(BOV) new down pipe (down pipe was cut just after the O2 senor just enough to weild an other pipe on to (the only problem i realy found was when they cut the dang down pipe with a tourch it splashed liquide hot magma on the turbo fins any ways after 2 days of planing and seeing how i was going to install this new enigne. i stoped and thought to my self "i better do a compretion test" well rotor #2 got 3 solid jumps of 90psi and rotor #1 got 0-0-0psi. i jumped on the phone and called sunrise toled him the rotor #1 had no compretion due to the apex seal bing stuck he toled me "can you just spary some WD-40 on to make them work" i all most died loling, but any ways i shiped it back and he honored the money back less 150$for shiping from london Ont to quebec. 2 weeks l8ter i found this guy on ebay selling engine out of Toronto so i called the guy up for 1200$can shiped he sent one of his friends with a truck and shiped it for me. compretion is good but im now out of warenty, because it took me to long to install it so im hoping it still runs. any ways on with the swap.

i did not use the conventional way of doing the FB to FC engine Swap, witch is using a stock GSLE fron cover getting it tiged and altored to fit the TII OMP and use the stock FB oil pan, i did not have the time nor the money to get new gaskit and ect. so i ended up making custom motor and trany mount alltho then engine ended up bing croked because the air engine picker i was using was kind of pushing the engine up 2 pumps per seconds i just got mad and started making some mounts. i endedup doing solid engine and trany mounts the only rubber mounts used are the stock 85 Gs 12A trany bolt to frame mounts. i have included a link to the pic for this project, the pic of single parts are for sale IE: 12A Ac system, TII s5 ac pump, TII Pw steering pump with braket, TII air pump. thanks for looking il keep posting new mods/problems o yes i all most forgot my plan was to make a complet first gen sleepper, but because the engine is so high in the engine bay il need something like a subaru wrx hood vent lol. il post pics onece its done.
BTW sry for the bad pic i shake when i take pics plus my cam is not all that good so colors suck allso








more pics

Nor sure what to say about this one. I am a firm believer in doing it once and doing it right the first time. No matter how much effort, or money you put into it, if it looks like a hack job, it will be viewed as a a hack job.

Get your engine mounted in there level. The way it is now, it throws everything off. I commend you on your efforts, but it's all in the little details that make the package.

Listen to dj55b, who is a friend I take it. When he gets his car done, you will be back working on your's addressing the little details you passed over the first time.

Don't worry torchoid, I'll make sure it doesn't go out on the street without my approval . We talked yesterday on the phone about leveling the engine, and how to adjust the hood with the way he has the engine mounted in there without it looking like Subaru WRX. He is short on money, and I can understand that, so i gave him pointers on how to do things as cheaply as possible but making sure it still comes out good looking.

well after i used the hocky puck i noticed the engine was clearing the steering much more, and that the engine was sitting way way to high to i refabed my right engine mount, and reinlined the engine/trans plus leved the engine out nicely, so i wont need as big of a hood scoop as i thought i was going to need, by the looks of things its going to be about 1/4" biger then the stock TII scoop so not bad at all.

sunday: custome made a down pipe with a presilencor (just hope it works lol)
changed some vacume lines, installed some wires, removed the stock fuel pump, reinstalled my amp and listen to the bass for a while all seams fine electricly. turned the engine over some more today sounds really nice.
all i need now is maf, fuel pump, map sensor, runs some wires for the coils run wires for fuel pump, set up some relays, find a medium connector that plugs on the ecu. fill my tank with supper and i should be on the way to boost



Me with engine installed straight and low
