The time has come.... WRC 3sgte swap!!!, Update 10/05 pg2 Options

[joehernandez]

Well this is the second greatest mod i have done to my car...
my first progress thread is here
My progress Thread

i wanted to do this swap last year but problems came and i had just not enough money to afford a 3sgte.
but thanks to Jim i got a WRC 3sgte...
by the way thanks a lot jim for everything!
the engine arrived a month ago, but i havent had much time to work on it, and since i dont have an engine stand
it is harder to work on it..

i might only update the thread once or twice a week, but slowly i will get there.

To start, i will do the swap myself with help of some friends, i will not let a mechanic do the job since i dont think it is
really hard to do a swap. It will be frustrating at some points but not impossible. Also i want to know what will be under the hood
and learn from mistakes.
I am not an expert, in fact i do not have much mechanical experience but i know i can do it. so forgive me because i might ask
stupid things now and then but i am here to learn. and with the help of this community i know we can pull it off.

So please guys help me with advices or questions i might have.

the set up=
WRC 3sgte with LSD E-153

ok here are 2 pics of the engine the day it arrived, i should of taken more but forgot to,




ok its late and need to sleep, will update the thread tomorrow.

It's the walbro eveyone has used in the past, before someone figured out the 342 actually fit better in our application.
