it was nothing short of a ***** and a half, but its in now...










here are some more pics, specifically of the motor height, 1st, neutral, and 3rd gear and how it sits in the shifter hole. Its not DEAD ON center but pretty close, and you can see by the gear positions that its just fine... all in all i recommend the mckinney kit to anyone, my steering column clears, havn't checked the sway bar yet, the shifter positioning is good, all i had to do was grind out the holes for the tranny mount a tad bit to get it to work and they say that in their instructions so its all good.

Oh and i also stripped one of the rubber isolator bolts on the right side mount and they shipped me 2 out for free (i payed the shipping) ... great guys to work with.

ur doing the swap urself????
how would u grade it in difficulty so far out of 10?
i am gonna do a swap like this in the near future with those mounts
lets see how well yours finishs

again sweet ride man

kina not digging the red colour for the valve cover shouldve been a silver or something hehe my IMO

dekand

yeah me and my dad are doing it, ive never done a swap before... he has back in the day,

1-10 10 being extremely stupidly hard, id say a 5 or so... but i haven't gotten to the wiring yet lol

-HyJynX-

Good luck on the wiring lol

Looks great so far, looks like the mckinney mounts worked great.

Hey that looks good. I'm curious how the swap will fit in a S13 though, but looks good in your car. I'm curious did you install the engine by itself and then the trans from underneath, or the whole thing at once?

dekand

should fit the same in an s13, the mckinney mounts are for both s13 and s14... i assembled the entire thing and pulled it up then bolted the crossmember into place, then the tranny x-member, and so on...

that is awesome, what a nice sight, congrats

omg... i almost jizzed in my pants... man guess what my car is a 1995 se also... and thats exactly what i want... whether it is white red or silver i dont care... but damn.... one thing i want you to do is go to the drag strip and give me ur time... pleaseeeeeeeeee

areitu

Nice V-rod.

Ok so you loaded it from the bottom...IC. Being the crossmember has to come out anyway sounds like the best way to go. BTW for whoever asked there's a S13 that runs at the drags in Canada just an hour from here mid 13's stock boost on good street tires.

dekand

yeah im hoping to get into the low 13's id be happy with that i think... oh so close

i should have it running in a few days , if all goes well...

my next container is on the water now, normally business as usual but this one contains my RB20 clip BTW I've been searching about good turbo upgrades for the RB and I haven't found squat, any ideas? T3/T4, T3/60-1?

dekand

im probably going with a t3/t4 but not sure on the exact one yet... 300-350rwhp is my goal and a t3/t4 will bolt right up and get to that hp pretty easily on the rb25...

sick, just sick.....

is there a guide on how to swap them out including wiring? or are you just going off of general Hack and slash install ?

dekand

i'm not using any guides really, theres an s13>rb25 install guide by Jon Powell and one in super street for s14>rb25 but they are both pretty vague and just a basic overall guides...

everything but the wiring is pretty straight forward, we'll see how hard the wiring is when i get to it
