hello everyone im new to the site and need some advice on removing my engine from my car. the car is a 92 model twin turbo and i need to replace the engine with a new one i have. i have never worked on one before so am after advice on how to remove the engine. any advice or pictures will be much appreciated.

 

Copy the factory repair book .The job is simple if you know that it has a pull style clutch not a push style .Now you know so get to it .Good skill to you .

 

Unhook all the obvious hoses first, get a proper tool for doing hose clamps.
Get 2 friends and everytime you are stuck on something have them look usually a 2nd or 3rd person will see something you dont. Mark everything.
Put all bolts in zip lock bags, mark them w/ marker (do not use stickers) and tie them to the part they belong to.

 

when you say it has a pull style clutch how do i disconnect it. what about the wiring. where can i get a copy of the factory repair book. doe's anyone on here have a copy i could print of.

 

Dude, check the sticky's on the top of this 3rd Gen forum for the FSM (Factory Service Manual) and look at the sticky's for the FAQ's. It has all this...

cheers guy's. that should help me a bit. this is the first jap car i've owned. it should be fun. i'll let you know how and when i get it out. i'll have to get some pictures on here as well

 

I am curious. How did the engine swap go?? You never wrote anything else in your thread.

 

The OP was last on the forum shortly after starting this thread.....5 yrs ago. That's usually not a good sign.

For any future search and reference.......

i wonder how that car is doing!

 

I had both ra and mazda trix dvds 4 the rebuild, preffered the mazda trix on the walk thru, hard not 2 fall asleep watching it in bed late at night though, just wanted to add that as im getting some tips on pulling the motor again as last time I stripped the whole lot down to the block itself to get it out, now I just wanna take as little as I can off and release the clutch and pull it!! Only removed it in september to do rebuild but saw some bad gaskets on the primary and secondary turbos, got a set of graphites for 40 bucks from pineapple and I started to strip the turbos with engine in! Realised that after 6 hours and still not off that this is gonna be easier 2 just pull the motor.

 

what`s with the recent graveyard thread revivals?

 

Prolly something to do with the zombie attack in miami

 

There was a zombie attack in miami? Hope everyones ok!

 

Have fun with those graphite gaskets. Used them once, lasted less than 1000 miles. Pulling the turbos with the engine in the car isn't fun when it's necessary. Save yourself the trouble and stick with OEM.

 

Ah *****, ive already bought them! Was that casual street driving or on the track? Oem gaskets are like 150 quid to buy here here in the uk, way to expensive and to buy from the us is just as pricey because we gotta pay tax duty on top when shipped over! Cheers!

 

Just buy some good used ones if need be.

They don't usually go bad.
