Engine Install(2G)

I had the same belt issue. Just remove the pump mounting bolts so it will move closer to the block and it should go rght on. I'm using 2g brackets on a 1g.

I'm going to have to go ditto on the lower radiator hose clearance issue, that counterweight on the shifter linkage is a bit of a PITA. When I bought my car(6-bolt swap'd 2g), it had a 1g lower radiator hose on it & would not fully engage into 2nd or 4th because of it. You'd think this is something you'd notice? So yea, 2g lower radiator hose & I'm having no clearance issues now.

I totally unbolted the pump from the braket and I turned it so the pully was as close as i could get it and the belt went on. its tight and the whole for the mounting dont line up. its almost like the belt is too short. i donno. i bought the belts at mitsubishi so i figure they should be right.

Where did that come from and who is it directed at?
It was directed at blageo because he said he is almost done with his engine. it was just a question not being rude at all. but thanks for the bad reputation.

Ok so I got the engine in and Im having some clutch issues.(other post) Also the check engine light is on, Didnt have time to look at it tonight. But the car wont go above 4 grand and when its there it doesnt accellerate anymore and its all jerky and my friend who was following me said there was black smoke coming out. This whole engine build has been hell, I just want it running.

Does the car vibrate like hell at 4k? If so your balance shafts could be upside down (if you still have them).

You have the wiring from the CAS hooked up to the right wires on the harness? If your car is 95-96 did you swap the plug wires? Everything timed good and nothing off a tooth? Just some things to check that could play a role in the way your car is acting up.

How did you get the ps pump thing working? Did you leave it like you had it? Just not bolt it on. I hope there wasn't a reason your friend got the motor for free. If the cas wasn't installed correctly, the car most likely wouldn't start so I don't think that was the problem.

If the car is a 95-96 you need to swap injector wires as well as the ignition wires.
