how do you plan to mount the engine in the engine bay?

powerhour

im making custom plates for the mounts, i have a fab shop with all the tool ill need, i just need to get the enine/tranny in and hook it up to the drivehsaft and then lower it to where it looks right and then make some templates for the mounts

i like your use of red paint with no masking tape.

have fun with the swap, post pics in 5 years when you are done.

(if i only had a dollar for every one of these threads..)

powerhour

haha no i used making tape but i got fed up with it not sticking so i just painted it haha and didnt really care too much but it looks good in person haha

powerhour

haha thanks im only concerned with the wiring but i got all the wiring diagrams and whatnot...but i got plenty of time to work it out so i dont mind, i love doing these kinda things

CF hood *drool*

arghx

iTrader: (3)

what is your plan for wiring and engine management?

powerhour

well since every wire is differant i have both wire diagrams and gunna match up each wire one by one haha and then i want to get a Power FC but there so much money haha, any one got one used they want to get ride of? haha haha thanks i love my hood!

powerhour

well i got the new engine into the car today.2 hours by my self and a few smokes later i got it in haha

you made a big mistake not tearing down a lot of the stuff on the engine and inspecting everything in the rats nest. The REW is a complicated engine. I would inspect all the solenoids and do simplified sequential if you plan to keep it that way. You need to pull the ACV, airpump, and EGR stuff first. Then most of the rat's nest can come out including EGR, double throttle, switching and relief solenoids, hot start/fuel pressure solenoid (doesn't seem to do much), evaporative emissions solenoid. Precontrol and wastegate solenoids could be removed if you plan on an aftermarket boost controller which uses its own solenoid. Then replace your OMP lines or remove the OMP.

Off to a good start. The engine is IN the car. At least it's not all talk like 99% of these swaps.

powerhour

im keeping it sequential, and i have a greddy boost controller and i have stock tubros with ported wastegates. It has to come out again for more fitment and to switch some **** but i wanted to get the tranny lined up and all that fun stuff

powerhour

I was wondering what **** i can tear off of it cuz i wanna have it pretty much just motor with p/s, dont need all that emissions stuff

walken

iTrader: (6)

you answered your own question.

with a aftermarket ECU you don't need to keep anything.

powerhour

oh haha i did not know that, awesome lol thank you

arghx

iTrader: (3)

well technically you don't need any actual "emissions" stuff. but buried in there is a bunch of sequential turbo control solenoids. You've got the charge control, charge relief, and turbo control vacuum solenoids mounted in the main solenoid rack. And then you have the turbo control pressure solenoid mounted to the ACV. those must be retained and they most be hooked up properly to their respective vacuum and pressure chambers. the precontrol and wastegate solenoids can be replaced with some other system although I prefer the stock setup of having an individual solenoid control those actuators independently, just like Mazda designed. There's also the main air bypass valve (blowoff valve) and the charge relief valve which vents secondary turbo charge air during prespool. You need those too.

and if you don't know what I'm talking about you better start reading up on the 13B-REW.

powerhour

well i finally got internet up where im at lol and ill be out of camp in 6 days so then ill be able to work on my car again lol i have 6 weeks to work on it so i should get lots done, ill keep ya posted with pics too

just startn

iTrader: (33)

Go single turbo, you have standalone...

RotaryEvolution

iTrader: (30)

yea, cause setting the engine in the engine bay means it's bolted down to something...

he doesn't even have enough money to buy a power fc and plans to swap wires? with what? the stock ECU? heh. yea. i can toss a 3 rotor into an FC engine bay sitting on a jackstand and you would be impressed too? gg.

zachCutthroat FcDrifter

Let me know about any big bumps you hit in the road, I'm planning on doing this swap soon.

Seems to me like these swaps are a big waste of effort anyway.
