3sgte Swap Complete!!! Options

[gtfc115]

well today was the best day in a LOOONG time (about 2 years). i got a call from my guy at the shop and he said the swap was done. OH JOY.

i picked it up and went driving around for a few hours...not really beating on it too bad, but i was giving it some gas a few times. wow this thing is awesome. its tough to find the gears sometimes (i need to re-do my mr2 tranny shifter conversion). and i need to grind down the passenger side engine mount cuz its resting on the timing gear cover.

so now here's the first inevitable problem...i was on my way home on a country road and stepped on it a little, and it died. at first i thought it just stalled so i tried to start it back up, and it died again. i pull over and started it and it idled ok, but if i even touched the gas a little, it died.

i called the shop and he said it sounded like my fuel pump went out. does that sound right to you guys? i was expecting this to happen cuz i was using my 7afe fuel pump (i know, BAD idea). so now's my chance to get a new one.

The fuel pump install is very easy. Use plenty of PB blaster, and use flare wrenches on the fuel lines. Make sure you solder and heat shrink wrap the electical wires on the pump. DO NOT USE ELECTRICAL TAPE.


You can grind down the passenger side braket to fit it to the engine. In the link below I have pictures of where exactly you need to grind.

Some advice, start doing your own work on the car. Don't trust someone that has no idea what they are doing. You may say you also have no idea what you are doing. But, you can come here and ask us for advice before the damage has been done.


Good luck
