whats the best way 2 take a sw20 3sgte out

[mr2--mad]

i need to replace my motor
Should I struggle taking the gearbox,intake,exhaught manifolds off leaving them in the car and removing engine only

or

Should I struggle to unbolt the struts ,subframe ,rear suspension,brakes engine,gr bx/diff,manifolds and remove it all in one peice and seperate out car

I m leaning towards taking sub frame off eithier way its a strugle with shit tools
but witch is the best way

[Adydas]

i think the norm is to drop the hole thing to the floor.

Detaching everything and lowering to the ground is the shizzle.. so much easier

make sure you have a hoist avaliable and have some one help you spoecially if you are a first timer

when you have the engine lowered you can lift the car over the engine and box.

thats how me and a few others did it to chelles car... might have pics some where online...

I'd highly recomend that method too, exactly what I did on my ST185

[mr2--mad]

so the turbo intake exgaust manifolds can stay on untill the prize is on the ground

[Wildcard]

Yes. Unplug the loom from the drivers passenger side kick panel and bring that out with the engine too, saves a lot of time.

i dont know ah?i cant see why? dont i leave it in the car 4 the recond motor i see i have to dissconnect the computer from the boot
doesnt the (front loom?disconect at the engine bay fuse box ) stay in the car for the next recond motor i ll go have a look now

[Malcolm]

I would just unplug the loom from the fusebox rather than pulling through all the wiring running into the cabin - but that's just me

[mr2--mad]

front KICK PANEL
there is 2 million plugs (im not touchn that!) bring back who?
looks like 5 o r 6 up at the fuse box

If you dont know which one is the loom, do you think you should really be attempting this on your own? Just make sure you get some proper instructions or someone who can help you, or you may end up rooting your car.

[mr2--mad]

mazza yes i do think i should b doing this on my own ,no i wont get proper instruction and rooting cars aint my thing your opinion noted

[mr2--mad]

Wasnt being fasecious, just dont want you wrecking your engine

A hoist, couple of blocks of wood and some old wheels make light work...



Not an SW20, but same principle

Really poor men do it in their driveway so small that you can't even fully open your doors.

(Unless you're a rich man, then just give your car to a mechanic and he'll do it up for ya, refer to above post for that.)
