miko_supra Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 did a little job today. thought i'd write it up to let people know as its well worth it as the engine is out and you have full access. i just replaced all the of the rubber vacuum hoses on the engine with silicone ones. half of them you could get access to with the engine in the car but the other half are all tucked away. these hoses are getting old now and can crack resulting in a loss in boost pressure, it's also only a £20 job sizes needed were 4mm- 2 meters 5mm- 1 meter 6mm- 1 meter 8mm- 1 meter all ordered in black from http://www.espdesign.co.uk/esp.storefront/EN/Catalog/SRP_SVT?ProductType=SRP_SVT&browse=1 oh and it's also worthwhile getting a cover for your engine if your keeping it outside with all this crappy weather. http://xs121.xs.to/xs121/07485/083enginecoveredup.JPG (possibly get some students to steal some traffic cones too) My rps clutch should be arriving during the week so if the weather is nice i may well get that fitted next weekend, meaning im all set to put the engine in !!

miko_supra Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 ok got some bits through this week. which means i can start getting this project back on the road again on monday as im off for a week. i got... my new rps clutch and pressure plate oil 9 (it's 0w40, but got this very cheap from a mate at halfords, so i'll exchange it for some 10w40 as 0w40 is too thin) oil filter rocker cover gaskets fly wheel bolts http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07505/084clutchandotherstuff.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Day 9 Ok hopefully going to get the engine in tomorrow as i have everything done now that needed to be done before hand. firstly, i installed my new fly wheel bolts that i got through, and then i put the clutch assembly on... -it is important that the clutch is put on the right way around...the springs stick out more on one side that the other; the side where it sticks out more is the side that needs to face the gearbox. http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07512/085clutchinstall.JPG -next, install the clutch alignment tool http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07512/086clutchinstall.JPG -then slide on the clutch (the right way around!) http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07512/087clutchinstall.JPG -then slap on the clutch housing/pressure plate, there are locating studs for this http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07512/088clutchinstall.JPG -then torque the clutch bolts to 14 ft.lbs each http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07512/089clutchinstall.JPG -next task i did was to drain the old oil and replace the oil filter. obviously you can do this in the car if you wish it doesn't really matter. http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07512/091oildrain.JPG http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07512/092oildrain.JPG -next i got the gearbox on -torque the gearbox bolts up...37Nm for the 14mm bolts and 72Nm for the 17mm bolts http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07512/093gearbox.JPG -then i connected up the gearbox sensors http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07512/094gearbox.JPG Originally i thought my engine was from an auto, which has different gearbox connectors, so i asked jezz how to resolve this and this was what i got... the big plug with the most wires in (6/7 wires?) has the reverse light wires in and these need joining to the reverse light switch. You just need to put 12v to each one until you get the right one that brings on the reverse lights, and the 2 thicker wires on the connector need snipping and joining together. The only other one thats used is the speed sensor which has the right plug on anyway. The ones that aren't used, we just tape up and tuck out of the way. hopefully that will help (NB: ensure you put something like copper grease on all the studs/bolts when reassembling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 So was yours from a manual car in the end then....? yeah! i always assumed it was an auto as i had an auto ECU and also that the majority of the time supras are auto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miko_supra Posted December 19, 2007 Author Share Posted December 19, 2007 Day 10 just needed to do one little job before the engine goes in... -take the old n/a throttle cable out, there are two bolts located in the drivers foot well, which are on a bracket next to the top of the throttle pedal. -just undo these and pull the old cable out through the foot well and install the new one (which is of course longer) http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07513/095throttlecable.JPG http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07513/096throttlecable.JPG -then i got the tt engine in, which was a nightmare to say the least. you need to try and tie it up to the crane so that the gearbox end is heavier so it can slide in better -obviously the bonnet needs to come off for this, and also take the fan off for better clearance -the engine is now just resting in its place and a jack under the gearbox waiting to be secured in http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07513/097enginein.JPG http://xs222.xs.to/xs222/07513/098enginein.JPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
