5/24/11 this thread was edited, with updated pics and added extra information for those beams swappers!!!!
anything you see in red, its very important to pay notice to, it will save you money in the long run... Also this is not the bible of the Beams swap, others have attempted this swap and have good experience with it. No this swap is not going to give you 600 hp GOOD LUCK!!! Ok, before anyone asks, it wont go in until December, how much i paid, plenty bucks... I will keep my fingers crossed until then, cuz i wont have warranty, but its supposed to be low mileage engine between 20 - 35 k miles. Seller forgot to ship the ecu, but will ship it on monday.. i have a question for Turnip and 2bcelica batman or rusty. I have a couple of cables that need ID With any swap make sure you are getting what you are buying, ask for pictures to the seller, you dont understand how important this is because, you will be misled into buying crap!!!! that little thing you see there is the vvti sensor, this is the most common broken sensor and its expensive, about 300 usd... See how clean the engine looks from inside, this attests to the low mileage claim, well most of the time Another big issue, as this is missing the OEM box and the MAF, two items very important to keep the air flow regulated. This next picture and the previous one, shows something important, the Bpipe, your swap must have one, or make it from scratch, good thing to also get the axles, you see, mine were cut, although you can use the 5sfe axles, the beams axles are beefier. The OEM fuse box, very important because you want that EA1 plug intact!!! And please, the most important, GET THE ECU, they forgot to send mine. the first one, is this cable located at the exit of the TPS sensor i asume, its three cables black red and white. on the harness this one is located here kind of goes to the back, dunno the other one, is another cable that goes parallel to the AFM sensor, its cut so dont know what it is, it looks like another set of 3 cables... this one goes to the front... of course cut under the fuse bay harness, but i assume this are for foglights and headlights. Unknown sensor, but i have a plug that fits, and is not one of the any ones that have been cut. located on the intake, so must be some sort of vacuum sensor an extra vvti solenoid, cuz the original is broken.... hope its not a pain to replace this bastard... I got the B pipe, but the flex section, is very flexy, as i remember my 5sfe one was a little stiffy. so i dunno. All you beams swappers are welcome to put your input...

Ill keep my s54 and the auto engine block for a rainy day, the rest will be sold for parts! just FYI, there is no such thing as an "auto engine" its the tranny that is auto or manual. the only thing that changes on the engine between auto or manual is that a manual tranny uses a flywheel bolted to the motor, an auto uses a flex plate and torque converter. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
