MarkGT has a '94 3000GT base model. The engine is in bad condition so he decided on a VR4 Twin Turbo swap. He brought his car up to me (Phoenix Tuning, http://www.phoenixtuning.com ) and had a VR4 clip shipped up here, and today I pulled the engine out. Here are some pics for you guys.
The clip:  Everything disconnected...  The growing pile of parts...  It's a tight fit!    Out it comes...     Now I just need to do it all over again with the car, and this install this baby!

Man i am going to have to do this same thing in a few weeks.... I am getting 2 3000gt motors tomorow and have to build one good one out of 2 cuase they both have different problems with em. I bet the timing belt on this motor is a pain compared to the toyota setup.
I am glad you did this job first so now i know somebody else with mechanical skill i can chat with incase i hit a problem and need a 2nd opinion on it.

Also I still have the stock n/a engine here, you can probably get it cheap if you want it. Got the engine going yesterday after fixing a fuel pump short and a leaking intake manifold gasket, runs great Going to the exhaust shop today and getting some gauges, and a few other things finished up.-Doc This post has been edited by Dr_Tweak: Mar 17, 2006 - 7:46 AM -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
