Picking up a 6G74 w/ needed parts for a swap tomorrow. Dropping in the new motor Monday/Tuesday. Happy early Christmas to me :D

[Black8GV6]

^nice, jealous, are you 5 speed yet? It would be a good time to put in the poly mount inserts in.

[Black8GV6]

Just bought the Vibrant 4.5" MAF adapter and some NGK spark plugs.

[Bloody Arro]

Not 5 speed yet. And I'll be getting new mounts when I can. I know I should do it when I do the swap but I don't have the funds and need my car running to land this new job starting next year. Gonna get mounts when I can.
In other news, got the old engine out and the new engine in her tonight. Hooking up everything first thing tomorrow.

[Black8GV6]

The little half-circle white thing fell out of the eclipse probably 11 months ago and I finally replaced it today, hehe, it keeps the shifter from have left to right play. I also installed SpeedSource shifter bearings in the eclipse. Part number for the white thing is in the pic, I ordered 3 of them just incase.

[Bloody Arro]

Should be finishing up tomorrow :o

[greddy]

Oh sweet I've been wondering about that thing. Black8gv6 does it just pop in?

[Black8GV6]

^
somewhat easy, I had to remove the battery tray, then just loosen the two bolts, I didn't pull them out, just enough where the bottom arm was moveable. There is a nipple on the arm that the white half circle sits on, so I don't know how it fell out. It took awhile being gentle but once you put the white thing on the nipple just guide it back in place, then tighten the bolts.

[Bloody Arro]

Got the 6G74 fired to tonight. Finishing up a few minor details, but she's done. Just need to do 10 minutes worth of work and that's it.

[Bloody Arro]

Wellll that turned out to be a little more than 10 minutes worth of work lol.
Had to get multiple belts because of sizing issues, then the power steering belt went out. Replaced that, the battery was dead. Replaced THAT too (with a Diamante battery), and had to replace the starter as well (also upgraded to the Diamante starter). Although the week has been very long, all the blood sweat and tears were worth it. The 6G74 is running!
Finally drove her home a hour away from my friends today, checked everything and there are no leaks or anything. Loving the hell out of this swap. It feels a lot smoother (the engine) to me.

[Black8GV6]

Nice, are you using the 72 or 74 throttle body? Are you going to get a cold air intake or short ram air intake? It'll make that engine sound good.

[Bloody Arro]

I'm using the 74 throttle body. And I need to do a few other repairs before I get one, but I do plan on getting a cold air intake. The engine sounds amazing. I would take a vid but I don't have a camera lol

[8thLS6]

Congrats on the swap

[wetamup2k3g]

Congrats! Good to see you got her up and running. What are you doing for engine management, you getting her tuned?

[Bloody Arro]

Thanks guys. I used the 72 injectors. No need for a tune, but that is definitely on the list of things to do.

[Rach3T8G]

Been gone awhile since for some reason I can only access the site thru the app on my phone off Wi-Fi. Seems that my IP address has been blocked or something buy anyways I'm starting to collect turbo parts.



Basically a Holset HX40W with a 20psi wastegate. Ordered a 10psi wastegate along with a T4/T3 cast iron manifold and a wastegate block off plate. Also have wrx 560cc injectors I bought from Galantman03.

So I've tried to do some searching and didn't come up with anything.

After the 6G74 swap I needed a few parts and went ahead and upgraded to the Diamante parts (battery and starter). Now that I need motor mounts, that got me thinking. Could we use the mounts or axles from the Diamante over on the Galant? I'm pretty sure (just a guesstimation though) we can use the same mounts since the engine fits right in, but I could be wrong of course. I'm really not sure about the axles though.
