If anyone wants to come help, I will be a Garfinkles tomorrow pulling the engine out of my GXL preparing for the TII swap.

At least you replied.

Happy B-day

 

Sorry DJ, gotta work, but you'll be ok. Its not that hard to pull one that you really don't have to remember how to hook back up. The TII will be completly different. Good luck. Let us know how it goes. So when's the new baby coming home? Over the weekend?

 

New baby will be here next Wednesday, if Kevin has it done this weekend. Mmmm good.

 

dude ... you gotta do swaps on the weekend

during the week its hard for me to get down there ...
and i still need to fix my oilpan before my injectors and ecu get back

WEEEEEEKEND!

 

woo woo.. .its my birthday.. my bubub birthday ! BITCHES!

Dj whered u get the stuff for the turbo II at?

 

http://www.osakajdmmotors.com/intromazda.htm might wanna check that out 650$ plus 300 shipping... i think all their motors have less than 50k on them too... just have to call..

 

Rotary Resurrection baby.

I got lucky, he had an S5 TII lonblock with the harness and ECU. Everything I need except the hood, DP, FCD, and fuel pump. He is taking my NA for a core to live on some other day in another RX.

 

why do the fcd when you can go rtek7? hood??? FMIC!!! fuel pump??? WALBRO!!!! downpipe???? GET ONE!!!!

besides all that. . . howd it go? im busy for the next 2.5 months. . . mobilization rocks!!!

 

UPDATE: DJ and I almost got everything ready to take out his old engine, minus tranny bolts, engine mounts, and some lines (oil cooler, fuel).

Exhaust off, a/c and powersteering removed (p/s lines prepped for no-pump loop)... another 20 min and the engine will be ready for extraction.

 

You guys gonna be working on it this weekend? I wanna help

 

Well here's the scoop--

1) Rtek is for S4 ECU's only (at the moment)
2) Can't afford FMIC at the moment.
3) Fuel pump, Garfinkle is hooking me up withe stock FD pump/
4) Downpipe, I just have to order the RB one.

Once Kevin calls me and says the motor is ready for pickup, I am placing the order for the DP, and I am going to get an FCD from Years of Decay (Creeping Death FCD)
No biggie. Although with the A/C condenser out of the way it is amazing how much room there is up front now, so when I do go FMIC, it'll be a snap. Also with no PS or A/C, the engine bay is as bare as can be, plus the TII engine is emissions free, so it'll be alot quicker doing the install.

 

stoked meter rising much??

 

ah, i forgot about the s5 issue. . . just run an s4 engine then. . . youre better off that way anyways!!! lower compression equals more boost mang!!!!!

 

I will be there on Saturday around 7. If anyone wants to help, thats cool. There isn't much left though, but any help is welcome of course.

 

i might be able to make that .. i have a show that i have to play in nashville that night though

hit me up

 

i'll be there after I get off work... around 9ish. i'm sure you guys will be slow and probably barely have the engine out....

 

osaka jdm motors come with no ecu and 3 inches of a wiring harness for that price. Trust me I have one sitiing on the pallet as we speak

You will still need to buy the following

ECU
Harness
AFM
Boost sensor
drive shaft (have one made)
TII hood or go FMIC
boost guage
boost controller
full exhaust
