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!

Heheh
trd94, yeah you can do it either way, you can swap over all the turbo components onto the n/a engine along with the ecu, or you can swap the whole engine. Mark's stock engine wasn't in very good shape (burning oil) so he opted to swap. The car is totally done by the way, we'll take a few pics this friday I'm sure, when it's picked up, and then I'll update the thread. See you then Ruel! -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
