the evo 3 swap parts are coming

[TkrPerformance]

got the engine harness cut shorter by 2.5 feet. it is all soldered back together and ready to go back in the car. just have to add the wideband, egt,gm mas wires to the engine harness. Then I can loom the harness from the fire wall out. Still have to wire the mas and the plug to the fuse box in the car when the harness in.

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Wow, Lots of stuff goin on with this! Too bad we work different schedules and I can't stop by to help out. Sucks about the rust! That wasn't there when we first did the swap.

[TkrPerformance]

came home from work to new parts

new oil cooler the stock evo one went into the trash can

jmf coil bracket just have to get the jay's alt relocate kit now

[hippiekiller]

Is that a fluidyne oil cooler? I have one much like that for my 2g. Should work quite well.

[TkrPerformance]

got the engine harness loomed and put it the car. still have to add to the brake and wiper wires. Not much is going to show at all still have to pull it tight behind the engine and make a few brackets to hold them to the back of the block.

left the harness to come out the stock spot since the washer bottle covers it up

all the wiring behind the engine now

wires that will show a bit. cas,2 on the t.stat,the o2 plug,tranny back up lights,tps,and isc. they will be pulled tight and hidden as much as they can be

cant see the injector plugs any more, going to plug the 3 vac. nipples on the smim and run a vac block with all s.s. an lines to every thing

got the new oil cooler put on. use 1 of the stock brackets that was on the car and made one out of some titanium I have laying around



Also got all the heater boxes back in the car.

[TkrPerformance]

wiring is all done now
got the mas plug and the fuse box (engine bay) plug wired back to the engine harness. You can also see the hole going into the engine bay that was for the drain on the a/c box. I cut the bottom of the box off and made a plug for it. I will use the hole for the Alt. wiring,starter wiring,wide band,boost,egt gauge wires

The gm translator box is now next to the engine bay fuse box also will be putting the fuse block up there for the power from the battery


starting to look like a car a little bit


Tomorrow going to do the rear end and battery box and a few other things. I am running out of things to do that are free.

[TkrPerformance]

Work on it yesterday with my dad he came over to give me a hand. Started to take the rear end apart. It was a huge pain in the ass. When we put the rear end in the car it was all together still so we left it alone. Broke bolts,had to cut out arms from bolts being frozen in the bushings,ect

Cut open the frame rails to reinforce them more. When I had the 2.0 in it i riped the bolts throught the frame rail on the left side. I don't want to deal with it pulling back out with the 2.4



As the rear end is right now lower arms out,megan toe arms are out also.


The stock rear lca had to be cut out the camber bolts were froze in the bushings and 1 of the sway bar links had to be cut off as well


This realy pissed me off the megan tow arms the bolts were also frozen in the bushings and they have not been in for that long under 2years. Going to bring them to work and make some new bushings for them and a set for the camber arms when I order them.

anti seize is a great product, not trying to be a smart ass or anything just saying, otherwise looks to be it coming along nicely. I like!!

[TkrPerformance]

The Megan arms were anti seized the rest of the rear sub frame was never taken apart. But after a few winters slat just rusted everything anyway

[19TsiAwd90]

yeah salt just is one mean bastard to cars makes me sad sometimes =(
