[Remy]

Hey all, like the title says whats the average time it took you guys to remove the 5sfe from the bay and to reinstall it back ?? The reason I'm asking is because I plan on respraying my car a different color if it doesn't take too long I might consider. Thanks

ummmmm..... just disconnect from the ecu behind center console. pull wire thru. disconnect your grounds. put your hoist on your motor. unbolt motor mounts. you should have it out in less than an hour by yourself. Everything you unplug only plugs back into one place. if you're hands on. its easy. i have a pretty good photographic memory. if you do as well. you don't need labels. cuz there isn't much to do. took me less than 2 hours to put it in by myself and make it run. thats including beer n cigarette breaks lol. i can't believe how easy these are to do. especially after doing honda motor swaps for awhile. i won't ever go back to honda since i've owned my Celica.... i also have a V6 5 Spd Camry. If something ever happens to it. I'm throwing that in the celica. but don't be afraid to take it out. its a piece of cake.
