[presure2]

so, it was the fork.
seems like in the process of installing the tranny, it slipped forward and got caught in the PP.

resinstalled it, and all is well.

got the tune up parts, and fuel filter, so i was able to finalize the AFPR install, and got the harness on, tommorow ill throw the last few parts on and get it into the bay.
a few pics

the motor



fuel stuff

WOO! that's coming along great man!
If you need any help at all just let me know, I'm close by and I'm eager to learn as well! haha
Not sure when you're going to install it, but if it's friday or saturday afternoon/ night I can swing by and give you a hand

all thats left is everything else.

Great thread! I would say that I can't wait to see this car finished, but I'd be lying. I want to see every single step in between now and the finish. You guys always do the best work!

thanks man...now that the motor is in the bay, things should get good quick...i've got a huge FMIC to mount, IC piping and an intake to fab up, fuel lines to finish...it should make for some good posts over the next week or so.

Pft - one of these swaps, you guys need to take a video of yourselves dropping an engine in.

Just so I can see exactly how "easy" you make it seem... lol.

haha, my cousin and i were talking last night about how i should have a cam out there going while im working and just stream it to web
lmao

just ordered aerocatch flush mount hood catches for the hood, they are pretty sweet, jim noticed them on pat c's 800whp, 200+MPH alltrac.

[Ted95]

sweeet, cant wait to see the pics! did u shoot the bay too?

[richee3]

Shortest video ever... It only takes them 38 seconds to do an engine swap on the Upper North East Coast.

[BonzaiCelica]

how about if someone put a 5th generation beams blacktop with dual VVT-I from the altezza in the GT-Four. Being that it has VVT-I would it be able to produce more hp than the 3rd gen 3sgte if it were set up correctly. By this I mean low comp pistons yada yada blah blah. Wouldn't you be able to get a better tune with VVT-I or is the vvt-i on the intake and exhaust removed once you pass 500 hp??

need to talk to jim, i have more stuff to post later.

now that the motor is in, there are some fitment issues with the ATS downpipe, and the turbo itself hits the fan shroud.

this is about to get ugly, quick..lol

everyone WANTS a custom, one off setup like that...noone wants to PAY for the legwork, research, mechanical, and fabrication to get it done.

I had to grind the shroud when I installed the mishimoto radiator on mine, and the 5th gen has even less engine bay room than that! lol
Looks like its time for a set of low profile fans!

Really cool project btw. Id love to have a real alltrac!

yea, lo pro fan would definetly help, im pretty sure jim had one from shannons 5s project back in the day, ill have to see if he still has it.

and yea, man..this engine bay is TIGHT... i found myself looking for pics of pats engine bay to see how he fit everything...now i know why he has one of those civic 1/2 rads, and the sidewinder manifold...lol

[presure2]

fitment issues are resolved, im just gonna move the fan over a couple inches and reconfigure the piping a bit to get it to work.
i ran out of batteries for the camara, so ill get some tommorow, and take some pics then.

as so then the build would be well worth it, thats the answer I'm getting from you ok thanks.

finished up the fuel line install, and spent a couple hrs working on the ignitor and coil bracket.

when tweak did the harness work, he did not set it up to work in the alltrac chassis.
on the alltrac, the ignitor and coil are not attached to the firewall together, like the 6th gen.
since the harness was left as if it were going in a 6th gen chassis, the wiring for the ignitor and coil were together, and wouldnt reach the stock location on the alltrac.
so, i cut up a few brackets, and made one to hold both the ignitor and coil together, like the 6th gen.

pics.

finalized fuel line install:





and the ignitor/coil bracket







and a quick pic showing the start of the piping route for the IC
