The only wiring left to do is the coolant temp, fan switch and extend the radiator fan wires. Other than that, she is completely wired for a k series!

Obviously none of this is final routing. Once I get the motor in I'll know where it all needs to be routed better.

Progress has slowed due to RAIN lol.

- Fri Sep 26, 2014 9:27 pm #348863 Hole has been cut for the shifter. I still need to tidy it up and trim the shifter box, but considering I lack some key tools, getting the hole cut was a huge accomplishment. lol

- Sun Sep 28, 2014 4:05 am #348886 I wasn't able to get much done today as i was spending time with family. But my attention is now on the only thing left. Getting the k20a2 and 6 speed together and ready to drop in.

When i got the swap, it was partially disassembled. Hoses removed, water pump ect. And since I had to pull the timing chain cover to reset the timing, it was probably a good thing lol.

Things that i have done to the engine so far: Today I've managed to reassemble most of the front of the motor. Timing chain cover is on, crank pulley, and k tuned ep3 pulley (eliminates ps and ac). I'll get some pics when it's fully finished as there where some missing water pump bolts so i have not installed the belt yet. I also installed the k tuned temp sensor adapter along with my old b series temp sensor. I also trimmed the intake cover to fit over the k tuned fuel rail if i decide to put it back on.

Things that I have accomplished in the past weeks: k tuned fuel rail installed, clutch and pressure plate installed and k tuned iacv rotation kit and throttle body installed.

Things still to do/needed: figure out where all hoses go that where removed and valve adjustment. I need a new throwout bearing for the trans and a k20 manual half shaft.

Those are the things I can think of off the top of my head for now. I'm sure there are other little things still needed to do. I'm getting closer!

- Wed Oct 01, 2014 6:39 pm #348936 It's coming together nicely. It's on hold until I sell off a few spare parts to help fund the missing pieces. And then trying to find the time and hoping the weather is decent once I am able to resume lol.

I trimmed way too much off the intake cover to clear the fuel rail. I was eyeballing it and apparently my 43 year old eyes aren't what they used to be lol. I wish i could blame it on beer but I quit drinking over 2 years ago. lol

By the way, it's so hard trying to work on an engine in such a small space. Did I mention I wish I had a shop or even a garage? haha Somehow i make it work though.
