http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=89550


Hey guys for those of you who dont kno me, my names Cameron. As some of you may kno this past march i was deciding on whether to buy and do a Beams swap or a 3rd GEN 3sgte swap. well when buying a set of sideskirts off of Dustin and Stef, i got the privelage of driving both there Beams swap and Dustins 3rd Gen swap. the Beams a very fun car and altho i honestly wasnt used to the power the 3rd gen put out, it was clear to me for the same money i could have a fast and fun 3rd gen.

Sooo... i talked to my friend Manny and asked who to go to for a 3rd gen set and he sent me to Jim and went from there. i actually recieved my motor the same day as Manny did, (since we live 20min from each other, his swap just went a lil faster then mines to complete since ive been going paycheck to paycheck since ive bought the motor to finish everything lol)

so this is what i got from jim and my progress since getting it. (Alot of the pics were just refrence pics for myself as i was going along so sorry of some of the pics r kinda stupid lol)

when it came off the truck..



i didnt buy the set with the TMIC so this is what i really got after Jim took the TM off lol


these are all cellphone pics so srry if quality isnt the best at times














last time the timing belt was done lol reads February 28, 2002 according to vince. and its like roughly 37k miles



then i started to take things apart to clean the motor up a bit and start refreshing it.. i missed out on some pics here and there but here is what i got

took the manifold off and took a page out of Mannys build and shaved the manifold a bit.. didnt take pics while i was doing it tho

after i sanded and clean the manifold b4 paint



Throttle body b4 cleaned and painted




manifold b4 clear coated.. forgot to take a pic when it was finished..




Preparing valve cover



after clear coat






then disaster... as i was taking the AWD tranny off i cracked my upper oil pan just under the clutch dust cover.. (this is my first swap... and ya, i made a mistake lol)






thats next on my list of things to do lol .. its not that bad of a fix tho honestly, it can b fixed with the pan on the motor which is what i will b doing.

new berk 3in fully loaded DP







and as she sits now



also some other part info..

Mannys old FMIC from his 5FSTE which i will be using for my FM set up
pics upside down lol


resurfaced flywheel



and as for the rest, my water pump should come in tomorrow so i can do my T-belt and pump, IC piping is on its way (2.5in) .. i also have a 3in electric cut out i will be using, a HKS SSQV black BOV, Devils own WI, and a prosport premium boost gauage..

last thing on the list is Tweaks stage 4 6 puck sprung comp clutch (keeping my s54 tranny). and 3" piping for my b-pipe.

the swap should happen towards the end of this month, hopefully in a few weeks or so.

comments and questions if any

[Ted95]

not much of an update but this is where the project stands as of now. got my new wires and switch for the cut-out (since i bought it off a friend who lost the wires) recieved my 3in piping for my b-pipe from jegs, still awaiting my IC piping that i ordered like 2 weeks ago, fixed that ugly crack, (pics later) and next i still need to buy the clutch from tweak.

[SleekCelica]

[jeffrosie]

Nice start. Good choices on the parts.
Good luck man - keep us updated.

i also have SS-III replica splittters for it (already painted) and OEM side skirts that i bought off of dustin and stef. ill get pics later (skirts still need to b fitted and painted)

little update. water pump and timing belt is just about done, just need to put the tension peice back in place, then bundle it back up, throw the alternator and a/c pump back on and will be a few steps closer to the ultimate goal!

small but big update for me, i finally got around to finish the timing belt and water pump, i installed the alternator and a/c pump back on as well. things r goin a lil slow for me right now, been really busy with school and work and finding time AND MONEY is tough lol.

but however.. only one more big part to get! my clutch! lol and a couple small things but no worries.. ill update u guys next chance i get. thanks for the comments!

[SwissFerdi]

Good luck.

[Ted95]

hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates, the project is on a lil bit of a hold right now until i get money for my clutch and some other little things.
only update i really have is i recieved my DCW single gauge pod the other day and it looks soo cool in person and resting on the dash lol cant wait to get that on with the boost gauge.

[Ted95]

JUST ordered my stage 4 clutch from tweak! almost ready!

[Ted95]

alrighttt so heres whats going on with the swap. the clutch came friday, but no one was home to recieve it there for it is supposed to come today, hopefully.

i finished fixing the crack in the oil pan, i used JB weld and im making a brace for the back side of the pan and will provide support for the crack when i bolt the tranny up.

so this week im going to put the flywheel and clutch on and get some oil and a filter and i think.. i think ill be ready to start the swap, gotta make a set date with some people so we can start the swap. a few weeks we will get this show on the roaddd, cant wait!

[Ted95]

so today my clutch came in from Tweak, verrry excited for that! tomorrow im going to go out to the garage and make some plugs for some of the lines that i have open and do another recheck of the motor. should be swapping very soon.

but today i have some pics of some parts i have and that are goin on the car

first Tweaks Stage 4 Competition Clutch


i ordered 2 IC piping kits from ebay


Then i ordered some 3inch 304 stainless piping from Jegs

two 45* bends

and one 4' 3inch 304 stainless pipe

i also picked up a 3in electric cutout off of a friend and 3in flexpipe that i will cut off his old dp setup (this was on a Spec'V that he turbo'd

[Ted95]

So this weekend i stopped by a few junkyards in the area and came home with these guyss




finally found a nice set of GTS wheels with basically Brand New Toyo Proxes4 on them, got them for a good price.

going to to take the off in a few days and put the stock GT wheels back on for the winter and clean up the 7th gens and throw some paint at them and have them look sexy for the spring.

goin back to the yard this week to look for a few more gooides

[presure2]

looks good cam!

[Ted95]

hey guys, havent updated in a bit, waiting on founds to come in esp after the holidays. but heres a lil update..

i ordered some hood struts, most likely to make it look a littlebetter. also modded the 2nd gen o2 sensor i picked up from Twosrus and bolted her up and plugged her in. that awful crack i made lol well i finally did the final touches to it to make it cleaner and bought some bolts for the saftey bracket i will make up support the back side upper oil pan incase (god forbid) it ever cracked again.

im also in the process of ordering and finding parts to convert my coupe from ABS to non-ABS to make room for my Devils Own water/meth injection kit. (plus the ABS didnt work anyway lol)

i also ordered a couple exhaust flanges for my b-pipe, just need one more, prob order them tomorrow after i get my check.

oh, and i have just about everything i need for my battery relocation kit. the big push will be coming soon i hope. its been a little wait but its going to be worth it to get everything done right the first time.

ill try and get some pics tomorrow of some of the stuff.

hey guys i need an opinion on something, since im going to be upgrading in power soon as the SNOW leaves!!! ... im in need of new brakes and rotors.

i wanted to get some slotted rotors and better brake pads, any suggestions?

or maybe just better braking system in general, (non-abs if that matters)

[SupraKid]

its been a little wait but its going to be worth it to get everything done right the first time.

FTW Cant wait to see the progress! Ill be wathcing closely

[Johnnyny]

powerslot rotors hawk hps pads stoptech lines!

[Ted95]

thanks johnny! i look into them!

[Ted95]

Go with a good set of blanks, Endless or Project Mu pads (or some hawks will do), some SS lines, and maybe Motul racing brake fluid Dot 4. I'm not sure how beneficial it will be to run a Dot 4 fluid on the 6GC though, but wouldn't hurt I would assume.

Slotted rotors are good if you don't mind shortening the life of your pads a bit. Slotted rotors are designed to slice some of the glazing that happens on the pads from braking, so it'll cut down the life of your pads a bit.

[Ted95]

look what came in the mail!

my non-abs lines and hardware







ordering the master this week

also found a set of brand new OEM front and rear floor matts, i was soo pumped because i needed these badd


andd because i was pumped, my new bat



so i kno this has been taking a little while to get this done but everything takes time. and i kno ive been sayin will be done soon, over and over again, lol but.. this time it will be done soon. all i need to get is the new master and some oil and im about 97% sure shes ready to go. im shooting for april i hope. ill update you guys asap.

[presure2]

good stuff cam! gettin close!

[Ted95]

good stuff cam! gettin close!

thanks manny, ya i kno shes close! its been almost been a year since i BOUGHT the motor, we didnt get it til what like april? idk its been a long wait but its been worth it.

[presure2]

thanks manny, ya i kno shes close! its been almost been a year since i BOUGHT the motor, we didnt get it til what like april? idk its been a long wait but its been worth it.

i should be paying for it today, but it probably wont be in till the end of the month, or early april.

[njccmd2002]

otherwise all looks nice....

[Ted95]

that thing that you broke, cant you get a replacement? like the pressure plate from the 5sfe..

otherwise all looks nice....

no its part of the upper oil pan. i can get another upper oil pan but i really dont want to rip the bottom end off the motor.

but i did fix it up good with some JB-weld and sanded it smooth, (it looks better now then in the pic there) and im making a bracket for the back side of the peice and will be held on to the tranny bolts when attached.

and thanks, its been alot of fun gettin it this far. its gettin close

[Ted95]

the last part for the swap came in monday! non-abs brake master



now time to start planning a head for time off and stuff to get the swap done. got alot coming up soon so prob gunna be in april.

just got keep tellin myself, good things come with time lol.. aye jesus

[Ted95]

my poly mount inserts came in the yesterday! here are some pics





now i have a question with these two.. if you look at the pics above you will notice the patterns are the same which makes sense to have 2 of each, but are these two supposed to have different thickness? ones thicker then the other, just want to make sure.


i also scheduled a date to do the swap, as of right now, it looks like we are going to be pullin the 5s out on May 7-8 (first weekend) and get the bay preped and painted during the week, and put the 3s in the following weekend, May 14-15th, and send it out that monday to do the IC piping and b-pipe. im pumped to say the least!

[PhoenixTech]

Cam, If you're looking for upgraded rotors, go with Brembo. Especially if you wanna go cross drilled/slotted. Brembo treats their rotors to help prevent cracking from the intense heat. Some of the other cheaper brands have issues with spider cracks after a few good heat cycles.

-Cam

[mak5603]

My inserts were like that.

You're getting real close man, awesome you picked a date!

but let us know how the brakes wind up working out for ya! that will be my next upgrade, im curious to see what u choose!

lol well i havent chose anything yet because i dont have any momey right now for it at the moment. my regular brakes and rotors will do fine for now, i really dont plan on mashing the car right away once swapped, im going to work out w.e bugs that might come along as well as getting ready to repaint again shortly. things have been hectic lately with school, work, baseball, the girlfriend and life itself lol. been tryin my best to get online and research brake kits and such but its been hard. im just glad i have everything i need already for the motor swap and dont have to worry about that, just waiting for friday to come!

[easternpiro1]

good luck!!

[Ted95]

Day 1 of project 3s down! got alot of things done today thanks to a big help from dustin and stef, thanks guys.
so we got the motor pulled, tranny pulled, parts to buy and a list of hw to do tomorrow lol tomorrows gunna be a busy day

pics tomorrow..

[Johnnyny]

mucho pics please!

[Ted95]

kk so i didnt get a whole lot of pics of the whole process of pulling the motor because, well we are just digging into the thing tryin to get it out lol, but here is waht i have.


me and my dad takin the nose off


pulled the radiator and fans out as well as the battery and intake

cruise control out and started takin apart the harness, (didnt get alot of pic of this, gunna try and go back today and snap some shots)


getting ready to pull the old 5s out, so exciting lol


Chain Fall, ya my old mans kinda old school lol this is wat we used to pull the motor, D and stef found it interesting

money shot!



Dustin felt the need to add his own opinion lmao


so because the Chain fall doesnt move, we had to put the wheels and stuff back on and roll the car out and then place the motor down, thats the only down side.

ohh yeaaaa!

and the engine bay

it was a long first day but we got a good amount done. Dustin was in aw with the amount of tools my dad had which made this removal alot easier and quicker.
today i gotta make a run to autozone and get a few things and gunna start back on the abs removal and converting some more thigns to the 3s. pics later tonight!

This post has been edited by Ted95: May 12, 2011 - 9:53 AM

[Ted95]

alright so today i got basically everything done that i wanted to get done.
removed the abs, cleaned the bay and tranny, installed flywheel and clutch on the 3s, and converted somethings over from the 5s to the 3s


first i cleaned up the side of the motor and the flywheel b4 i installed it since its been sitting in the garage for a lil while ( a year ) lol


lock tite on the flywheel bolts

clutch


installed


abs removed


so now i have some questions, what do i do with the passenger side line that runs off the abs and into the passengers side wheel well?



do i remove this totally or do i have to reroute it?

also what do i do with the abs wiring harness? im guessing thats what this is considering it was connected to the abs lol

and these are my non abs parts





tomorrow i hope to go out and do some shaving of some holes and start sanding the bay

[hurley97]

lock tite on the flywheel bolts

not thread tape! loctite!!!

[Batman722]

this is loctite

[Ted95]

all well, take me 5 min to redue it lol

[Ted95]

well today i didnt get as much done as i wanted too after waking up to the news of my grandmother passin early this morning.
however i did remove the a/c lines and cleaned them up and started shortening the washer fluid neck. i also painted my oem strut bar as well, now its time to do hw all night, finals and such are coming up fml.

tomorrows plans (other then studying faack) is to hopefully paint the tranny after class and continue work on the bay.

[Ted95]

ok so alot has happened since my last post. got alot done the past two days with some big help from my dad while i was at work. dustin came by today and stef when she came by after work and we made some good progress

first off a big thanks to Dustin for helping me and guiding me in the right direction with this swap, because going into this i had very little experience and hes helped me a ton through out this experience as well as Stef, thanks guys. and a big thanks to my dad for a great job on the engine bay while i was stuckk at work all night. but dont be fooled, this is my swap and i put alot of work into this myself lol. heres the pics of the progress


a/c lines removed to get painted

washer fluid tank being modded

to look like this

then i started taping off holes to fill and things to patch up as well as sanding the bay







the passenger side motor mount had a stripped bolt that wouldnt come out, i was unable to take pics of this process but this was how it started


what we did was cut a door in the chassis and reweld a new nut to the chassis, find a bolt to fit and close and clean it back up

then i had to patch up some rot holes that basically holds the front end to the car lol





small patch on the other side





the rest of the bay





all masked up ready for paint





shaved up a bit







unmasked

[Ted95]

post was gettin long wanted to break it up..

heres todays progress

installed non abs





boost guage installed



completed the harness today, first we had to borrow some wires and pins from the old 5s
didnt get alot of pics of this process altho i wish i did but i was busy soldering lol i had fun with that







so lets hope i say this right lol.. we had to by-pass the fuel pump relay since my harness didnt come with the proper pump relay, as well as by pass the intercooler pump since im using a FMIC and didnt want to throw a code 54. it only took us, 2 resistors, and 3 wires as well as twisting a soldering a few wires together.. right D? lol

regardless, im soo happy with how everythigns coming along right now. im really excited with how the enginae bay came out. i have a few more thigns to do this week as well as study for finals for this week, FML. enjoy!

i also started the battery relocation as well by running the wire from the rear to the front, ill try and get some pics this week.

looks sick! i wish i woulda painted my bay. I have the same boost gauge lemme know how yours does. Mine is off by 3psi for some reason...

This is looking good man.
The engine bay looks pretty good, it will probably look pretty clean with everything freshly painted black.

Nice work.

What exactly did you do to mod the washer fluid tank? and how'd you fit in in there like that, looks awesome.

well im not 100% sure how everyone else did there but this is how i did mines. i took the whole nozzel out and removed the upper peice with the cap. i then cut the nozzle enough where i can put it in the tank and have the upper cap peice stick out. i had to lower the tank off the car to properly put the nozzle back in, but i also have my fenders off so it was alot easier lol. i also painted it black too, havent taken any pics yet.

ill get pics this week, i just got my wisdom teeth pulled today and i dropped my phone (which i use to take pics) in a puddle yesterday and wont get the new one til monday lol. pics next week of my progress.
