[kurt95gt]

Ooo trust me there will be alot of pics as of Saturday

[kurt95gt]

Ok guys i got a question
How should i block off the power steering lines
Nevr done it before so im not 100% on how to do it

[richee3]

Ooo trust me there will be alot of pics as of Saturday

It's Saturday. Pictures!

[kurt95gt]

There will be a couple pics in a few

I will say i have ran into a slight problem im tying to figure out
the rear exhaust manifold hits the rear enging mount
Hmmm what ti do

[ricochet1490]

chop chop chop....

Manifold flange with custom bent piping and reweld around the crossmember lol

That sucks dude

[kurt95gt]

Thats what i was thinking. But not 100% on it yet since i have to be careful of the egr pipe that runs from the manifold to the block

[kurt95gt]

Said screw it an cut the flange off. Figure ill figure out the y pipe from there once the motor is in the car
Ill be posti g pics sometime tonight i swear

[kurt95gt]

Pictures!!!
Only bad part is this is only 1/3 of what i took
My phone didnt save the rest

New south bend clutch now intalled

3vz flywheel bolted on with the arp flywheel bolts smaay told me to get( they worked great)

Trans mounted an hole drilled out
Going tomorrow to get a longer bolt for that hole an to get a tap for another so ill have 4 bolts holding then together

Then heres a new little peace of info for everyone
If you deside to do a 1mz swap an use the stock exhaust manifolds youll have to modify the rear mout to clear the rear motor mount. So far all this has ment is i had to trim the heat sheild an cut off the flange.
Well hopefully ill have more to report tomorrow

[ricochet1490]

is that flywheel machined?

[kurt95gt]

It had been but set on the shelf for awhile an had surface rust so i did what i normally do on hondas an hit it lightly woth 100 grit
Plus in the pic theres still a few wet spotd from the brake cleaner it was sprayed down mayne 30 seconds before the pic eas takin

[Smaay]

i see what you mean. im surprised that the clearance was that bad. i guess thats the problem with the S54 tranny. i bet if we used the E153 and the ST205 rear engine mount, it wont be a problem.

[kurt95gt]

I talked to shephen-lee an he didnt have this problem with his 3vz an e53 so im guessing its just part of running the s54

[kurt95gt]

Well more pics an problems
First the good.

Got the pipe turned down to the right direction.

If anyone else does this an desides to delete the a/c pump. This is the belt you need
Any bigger itll be too big an smaller it wont go over the pullys


An how she sets now.

Now for the problem can the front motor mount be put in backward?
It seem like its crooked an i cant get the back mount on
Kinda really makin me mad lol
I had to take a break before i went all hulk smash on it

[kurt95gt]

Well 1mz is in an bolted down
Had to flip the front mount around. An put washers under the rear mount to space it up some since the o2 sensor was setting on top the streering rack

Then on the top side theres hood clearance issues with the intake
So ill have to cut the bracing some to clear it all
Then i have ti get another chunk of hose for the bottom to make it long enough
So next up on the list todo is the axles an wiring harness as soon as it shows up
Witch shoukd be tomorrow so hopefully shell be running by the end of tomorrow
Been a long day ill post pics later
