It will be great if you do a video explaining the wiring part, it sound very easy, but in reality is not, like what wires to connect and where, I really like the way you explain things, so it will help to somebody like me that doesnt want to spend a lot of money paying somebody for the wiring part, and still have to attach the stuff.
DAMN TREV. that's all I'm gonna say. since I've met you at that cuscc car show youve literally grown a shitload and your videos are better and better. appreciate all the vids.
Holy shit. Sounds awesome. Always wanted to do that to a 4 door 1993 Honda Accord (making it rwd obviously) but I don't think I'll ever have the money or knowledge to do so lol
first video of yours I've ever seen. very nice, informative. I have to ask though, how long have you been a mechanic before you could do an engine swap?
Can you please make a detailed video on how to do the wiring for the ls1 swap, looking into doing it but the wiring is the only thing from stopping me. All info would be greatly appreciated thanks.
man you make it look so easy. i want to swap into a chevy and it looks impossible, u swapped into a nissan like it was nothing lol im very impressed. what price does this swap normally range for you?
@Motionautotv hey man good news! I ended up buying that evo 9 I was talking about. but i have 2 questions now. one, is that the headlights are oxidized on my evo and in your last video you was going to restore some on the dodge. could you possibly do a video covering on how to restore lenses because I literally can't find headlights for an evo 9 and when I did they are crazy expensive. also where did you buy your tuning package like cables etc. for your evo? anyways thanks and keep up the good work, im enjoying your videos and feedback you have been giving me!
Achilles has this racer support program that gives you discounts on race tires; That'd be cool to see you sponsored by them. Then when the 2j is done you could show ethan what's up
Did you not weld in a flex pipe for the exhaust? It was hard to see. I ask because aren't they pretty important to prevent cracking of the exhaust manifolds? Of course the work you did was based on the buyers wants and needs.
Awesome! Love motionauto Mondays! I have the same s13 with an rb20 I don't like how there is no obd plug to diagnose issues would that still be the case with a v8 swap? How do you go about finding out what's wrong?
+MotionAutoTv awesome that's must make thing so much easier to diagnose my rb20 cam shaft position sensor went out randomly while swapping tryannys took me like a month to figure it out!
Lol you would have to use some paint stripper or if that doesnt work (wow) you have to sand it down until its smoth enough then just prime and paint it i wouldnt care if its under the new paint job but of course its not your car so maybe the customer wants it that way so it looks rustic
How do you tell the difference from SOHC KA and DOHC KA? Also could you swap any engine into a car (as long as it fits and has custom engine mounts) and put the ECU and harness from the car it came from into any car and it will work?
You can tell the difference between the two immediately just by looking at the valve cover. Think of a car as a puzzle. Put all of the pieces together and it'll work.
rear wheel drive vehicles are more easy, as long as you have the engine, fabbiing up mounts or conversion mounts/subframe, harness and ecu, you can do anything. the sickest swap ive seen was an rb26 ae86, fire wall must be hammered all the way back
probably the hardest part of a swap is the harness, but honestly if I were to do a swap I'd have the donors car ecu running the engine and the stock one to run everything else, fuck wiring.
+Ryan Olson I've seen premade wiring harnesses for many different s13 swaps available online. Can't remember where though, but they're around $500 which isn't too bad considering the time it will save.
+Billy Benedict The engine itself you can find for probably $500 and then what will cost might be mapping the engine if you are thinking about tuning it when you got it outside the engine bay and tool costs. If you got the tools it is essentially only the engine that will have to be bought :)
anyone know why I cant find manuel transmission for the 2jz-gte.. all i find is automatic transmissions..and I sure as hell dont want an automatic with a 2jz
