Alvarado.e09 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Well in general terms, the engine is wired right to the ecu, you don't need to have the right dash loom. The interaction between the body and the engine control system is minimal. Like I said, power feeds, grounds, fuel pump, tacho wire, there arent a lot of things to connect once the 90& of the wires which should go to the motor are connected. Thats good to know releases lots of stress. I'm going to try and clean the engine bay and paint it so i can drop the engine in tomorrow i hope ha. I heated and bent the Slave cylinder line straight i was very careful to not brake it. I talked to someone that makes custom lines anything you want so that makes things easy for me to move the SC to the other side. Thanks a lot for all of your help I can wait to see your 2AZ-FE up and running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvarado.e09 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I have a question will the FWD engine harness work? I'm thinking No because it runs in front of the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 it will work its just a bit short. i have wired one in successfully on a smallport 4age, just not alot of wire to play with, and from memory we had to mount the ECU behind the glove box, not in the passenger kick panel.

Alvarado.e09 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Okay well thats good to know. So is your harness still running in front or did you turn it around or something. Because mine is running right in front of the cam cover it covers the 4AGE on the cover if you understand what I'm saying. This is a lot of work i have never done anything like this before I'm just looking at things a putting them together I'm pretty noob not going to lie so if i ask a dumb question I'm sorry. Thanks for all the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 i don't exactly remember, but it certainly didnt cross across the front of the engine. Doesnt all the wires sit between the fuel rail and the head? A few wires go across the front of the engine, dizzy and a few random plugs over that side. but couldnt be mroe than 8 or 10.

Alvarado.e09 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Yeah it does sit between the fuel rail but it comes out of the front of the engine. Maybe i can turn it around? I'm not sure ill take a picture and post it up so you can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alvarado.e09 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 I have a really big problem i need some help with. Today i tried to turn the engine over by turning the crank pulley it turned about half way and got stuck. I removed the pugs and it turned about another 15% and got stuck again. What should i do? Will i hurt anything if i turn the crank the other way? It was a running used engine from what i was told. Also engine has no oil just found that out today to. I guess you can't have oil in it when shipped. Will no oil in the engine now hurt it? I was thinking about getting some kind of oil and spray some in the cylinders I'm not sure if thats a good idea? Well i really need the help I'm in a hole now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 i think your over thinking it mate. first step, put a bit of oil down each spark plug. leave spark plugs out. and try it again. back and forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvarado.e09 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 i think your over thinking it mate. first step, put a bit of oil down each spark plug. leave spark plugs out. and try it again. back and forwards. So i wont hurt anything by turning the crank backwards? And can i mess anything up by to much oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 nope and nope. don't go overboard with the oil, a few Ml. don't pour it in. just enough to lubricate the piston on the bore. don't swing off your spanner either, if its not going to move, don't force it, but if its been shipped it might just be a little tight and oil will help it.

Alvarado.e09 Posted April 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 Okay thanks for the help ill try that out later today. Do you think it could be the timing chain maybe when it was shipped it jumped or something I'm just talking about of my butt thinking of ideas.

Alvarado.e09 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I guess I'm just lucky Yesterday i tried to turn the crank and it turned i didnt put oil or anything kinda weird because the night before it was imposibble to turn not unless i got stronger over night lol I got that parts car and it has pretty much nothing other than the rear end and it doesnt even have an LSD. I'm going to put the rear end in tonight maybe if its nice out. I'm not sure if anybody needs some glass from a coupe its all good. Car is crashed in the front after I'm done with it I'm going to crush it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
