Good luck.

 

I just got back from ATTEMPTING to install the motor........ NO GO! there seems to be some sort of tab that keeps my TII driveshaft from shifting towards the passenger's side and I cannot get the motor nor the tranny to mount........I left Milpitas at 1:40 AM and I just got home....I am beat....I will try to figure out how to fix this problem.....also I am still having problems with the oil cooler lines.....to damn hard to remove.

 

well....I am at work and Tired as hell......I need help from you guys.....what is that tab underneath the car that won't let the bigger, thicker driveshaftmove towards the passengers side? I need to be able to move it that way in order for the mounts to line up...... Also....What it the BEST way to remove the oil cooler lines from the engine....I am afraid of stripping the bolt.......and it is tight as ******* hell......Thanks in advance.

 

Kevin's going to start shooting people when he sees this thread.

 

Where you doing this at? I can come over and help if it's in Milpitas.

So are you swapping an S5 motor into an S5? If so, is it supposed to be plug n play installation? Can u use the same wiring harness

 

Tried installing it wihout the driveshaft in?

 

Thanks....I am in Milpits right now......i have no problems with the electrical yet.....i'm having a problem with the fitment of the driveshaft.........there is some sort of hanger that will not let me move it which makes me miss the tranny and motor mounting holes by about an inch. If I install it without the Driveshaft I will still have this problem with that tab.......I toook a pic but the batteries died...I will post it tonight. Thanks for offering to help.......I will try to either cut off or bend that tab and If I cannot get it by then I think I will need help. Again Thank you very much for offering to help.

the motor is in as well as the tranny the only problem is that i do not have the right nuts and bolts. I have to go to the dealership and buy new bolts and nuts for the transmission, engine, radiator and oil cooler tomorrow. On saturday I will hook everything up to the ECU: motor, body, boost controller, air flow controller. On sunday my buddy is going to help me do fuel and oil lines and we are going to fire her up.

 

got a question for u whats the advantage of the t2 subframe and suspension verse the gtu or base model? if ur goin too dd aftermarket parts?

 

man what happened to your old red rx7 it looked a hella lot better than the one your swaping that black one needs some cosmetic help awell what happened to the red one is what i wana know

 

He's about equal with a stock TII, at a considerable ammount of money MORE than a stock tII. I've got a n/a GTUs and it's my least favorite of all the cars, it's so farking slow that it really isn't that fun to drive anymore unless I'm on a windy road, then the suspension/tires take it away from there.

There isn't a benefit in going to the tII subframe/suspension on the GTUs, as it already has the tII brakes/suspension. The only thing it does, is saves you the trouble of swapping out the differential/halfshafts, by removing them individually. Other models, however, would benefit from the suspension (sway bars, etc) and possibly brakes (for you series 4 guys)

 

dude, that's a pick N pull thing, not a dealer thing...

 

^ what he said....it is so much easier to drop the whole subframe and then install it on the new car.

This car?




This happened:

BTW......the tab I was tyalking about was some sort of hanger....my guess is that it was used for the exhaust..... I just bent it.

 

well....the motor in bolted in as well as the tranny............i got my oil cooler lines so the oil cooler is done too.....this is all that is left to do tomorrow:
radiator
ECU wiring
body wiring
engine oil
tranny/diff oil
brake fluid clutch fluid
battery relocator kit needs to be gounded and hooked up
speedo cable needs to be hooked up
e-brake needs to be hooked up
oil/fuel/vaccuum lines
fuel pump needs to be installed.

I bought all redline fluids today as well as a yellow top cell battery and an oil filter.

SOOO tired........so sleepy....wish me luck....she NEEDS to fire up tomorrow.

I NEED A TII HOOD BUT I AM OUT OF MONEY!!!!!!! I wont get paid till the 8th

 

Good luck man..

 

thanks.....I'll take a video of it firing up tomorrow.

 

I am 95% complete......all I need now is a charcoal canister, a fuel filter and some of the fuses under the engine then it is all a matter of hooking some wires in the engine bay and pluging up the holes for the heater(removed the entire heating system under the dash.) I will go to the Junkyard tomorrow........then she will fire up.......WHOOOOO!

 

How did that happen to your red car again.

 

car won't turn over.......i'm tired and sad.......
