6 bolt swap

[JET]

I am doing a 6 bolt swap and I am trying to decide if I need to do all the mods to the front cover that RRE says you have to. Drilling all those extra holes and passages is going to be a pain. Magnus doesn't say you need to do it. Anyone know of better pages or anything?

I will be using a 7 bolt head, just the 6 bolt short block. The car will also not get DSMlink or anything, so I need to make sure I don't get CEL's.

RRE uses the 7bolt front cover that is why you "need" to do all that stuff. I just used the magnus website. Also with my 98 eclipse with a "black top" CAS(i think) I have gotten a random misfire one time.

Use Magnus. I believe the only 1g accessory you use is the water pump. Otherwise everything bolts up from the 2g (PS, A/C, Alt.). You will need to trim the drivers motor mount to accommodate the pump. Other than that, it doesn't matter which head you use.

And they also use the 2G tensioner ass. so you have to grind the WP and the bracket that moves up and down. The RRE way is just a big mess IMO. BUT you get to use the 2G CPS(Crank Position Sensor) with that way, Which would get rid of the random misfire(most likely).

Looks like I will be doing it the RRE way if it will prevent the misfire codes. Are there chips available to put in the 95 ecu to kill the misfires?

I did the magnus way and got myself the black CAS from a 1g and I have not had any CEL's yet. I would go the magnus way if I were you. Let us know what you decide.

I have also heard somewhere that the 6bolt hyundia front covers have a place for a CPS. I dont know if thats correct but I heard that somewhere.

Hmmm, I have a 2.4l 6 bolt hyundai cover around here. I will check it out!

This car is going to a girl that knows nothing about cars, so I can't risk it ever getting a CEL.
