How is it that i see 13b's being pulled with everything still on?
For my car i need to take the UIM off with the rats nest and take the injector signal lines off. before i can pull the engine. but i see people puting engines in and taking them out with everything still on. how is that?
|
you pull the wiring harness from the ecu and push it through the fwall into the engine compartment. i think that haynes has a good write up (at least that is what i gave my kid to follow when he pulled his motor, and that is how he did it)
pick up a rx7 haynes manual, its pretty cheap for the info. + its easier to take the rest of the shit off when it is out |
yep ive seen it done before
|
i dont like to do it that way just because it makes the engine SOOO much more bulky. ANd the manifolds can be taken off in like 20 minutes anyway...
|
one time i sawed the engine harness in half... that made pulling the engine in one piece easy...
i wouldnt recomend that to anyone though..... butt spliced it all back together been running good for the last yr/30K miles ( my 100 dollar striped special) |

(except thta the forks are a tad too short and the first couple inches are pretty hairy) |

However done this way makes it pretty much impossible to reinstall. :bigthumb: |
i pull the harness through the firewall- makes it easyer and quicker to reinstall

^it was just an NA. I didn't want to go through the trouble for $30. Although I had no idea you could convert it and sell it for more. That would have been worth while, damnit Joe!:wallbash:
I will be selling the injectors, manifolds, and others off the motor once I start stripping it down. |
