I see no pistons or rods in your build!!
Good observation! im not planning to push more than 8lbs of pressure which equivalates to aprrox. to 185 wheel hp which is enough for me, vitara pistons and forged rods will come later but as i said this is an ongoing build so u might see them soon
Looks like my setup.
Look at it, so sad
Here is my "garage" ,if you could call it that
most of the front end taken off
spare tire and other things taken out
front seats and center console removed
seats in shed along with the tunes
(edit) blurred license plate
*waits for more*
keep up the good work
that bolt is square on the inside, i dont have that tool, AARRRGGGHHH!!!!
i tried vice grips but no luck
i also fount out that the previous owner didnt do a good job keeping track of bolts, so i assume
he replaced the ones on the drive shaft, too shiny to bee original
other than that ive got the axels free, but not out, i kinda dont want tranny oil in mah face
will post some more pics later today, cuz I WILL get this engine out of the wagon before the day is over!
alxels are out
Driveshaft De-coupled (or however its called)
previous owner was an idiot, he jacked the car up where your not supposed to, is this reparable?
cuz i don't like having a hump next to the pedals
Engine hoist connected
Poof! engine gone!
and here is my mini me swapped D16a6 (RIP)
ill open it up later to see why it was steaming like a train, i think it was a blown headgasket but we'll see.
And some muzaks to keep me entertained
and thus endid that day with the engine out like i wanted, soon shall come boost and a z6
Stripped it clean and removed the factory sound deadner
New Audio Technix Sound deadner
deadner Applied (sorry for the crappy Ipod pics )
What might this be?
Ta daaaa!!!! Like new D16A6 Block!
Ill tend to get more engine work done on it after i get my FJ distributors vitara bottom end kit, but till then ill focus on the interior.
