Help w/ an SR20DET install!!
i'm ordering my motor prob next week w/ this group buy. the other 2 guys are takin their cars to shops. I'd rather do it myself, (plus i don't have the money to just pay someone else).
so if any of you guys that have done this before are free in a couple weeks, any help would be great. it'd be easier w/ someone who's done this before than me reading diagrams off the internet. i'm intalling a red top into a 92 hatch.
i'll prob be doing the swap in my shop in VA Beach, or in my garage if i quit before the motor gets here.
i can afford to pay for food and beer for whoever's helpin.

If you could keep the info from your swap, like common probs you have and just basic information about the steps, others could learn from your swap.

lemme know when you plan on starting this and i may be able to help out on a weekend...this swap is a cinch. Its only as difficult as you make it, take your time and do it right and you will have no problems....but start researching stuff like commonly asked questions over on www.freshalloy.com thataway you can get some of the easy stuff out of the way. Or just ask here, there are plenty of people that will help with questions. Lemme know anyways.

i'm ordering the motor either thur or fri of this week. i've been ordering other parts this week; ie: new turbo, manifold, clutch, fmic, guages, fuel pump, etc. so if everything show up when it should i'll be ready the weekend of the 14-15, or the 21-22 if everything doesn't show up on time. if you think you'll be free that weekend, let me know. post, pm, aim, whatever..
