the exaust manifold....
the drivetrain...
some parts of the harness....
is that all?
AND DUH HERES PICTURES
so,
anyone.
with tips/information to remove the engine.
i do have a friend who is a little mechanically experienced to help me do this
i know to, remove the transimission fluid and stuff
but what else?????!
shouldnt this be in the s12 garage?
you have a long road ahead of you man, have fun
disconnect downpipe, unbolt engine mounts, disconnect water lines, pull wiring harness through after disconnecting it from the ecu, disconnect fuel lines, remove shifter assy, unbolt transmission cross member, remove carrier bearing from the driveshaft and pull drive shaft out of the back of the tranny, hoist engine up off of engine mounts, make sure all wires and hoses are disconnected, hoist up higher, pull forward, hoist higher, pull forward, hoist higher and have someone step/push down on the back of trans and jack it up until it clears the core support/radiator...complete engine removal guide lol...do it in semi-that order

my auto drained quite a bit, not sure how much though...
is it like 5 quarts for a stick?
alright,
my oil drain thing should be good...
i just needed an estiment so i ddint overfill into my garage
and im sure the service manual says where the drain bolt for the trans fluid is
David Balright,the drain bolt for the trans fluid should be on the bottom of the trans right smack dab in the middle of it, it hold about 4-5 quarts of 80w90 and watch out make sure all of it gets in the bucket because since its an s12 its prolly really old fluid and itll smell like absolute shit, but you just need a 1/2 inch drive ratchet to take it loose...oh AND you prolly need a breaker bar so you have some leverage

jeffwins24(http://kalecoauto.com/images/BlinkFluid.jpg)hahaha where did you find that??? or did you make it...thats fucking awesome
Someone else moved it, not me
Just start disconnecting everything.... you won't be reusing lots of it, so disconnect anything connected to the engine.
Do you have a hoist yet?
Oh hey are you gutting your interior? If you wanted to sell that carpet I'd buy it.

u dont NEED a hoist, if yuo drop the engine out the bottom of the car. basically, you remove the subframe and lower it on a jack to the ground.
julieu dont NEED a hoist, if yuo drop the engine out the bottom of the car. basically, you remove the subframe and lower it on a jack to the ground.that involves sooo much more work though...tie rods, subframe, power steering lines, AND whatever the bitch that is the s12 throws your way
^ what he said, i had the motor out and had to swap my front crossmember and it was a bitch and a half with no weight, i can only imagane what kind of trouble it would of been with a motor and all. just get your own cherry picker, they are not that expencive depending on where you shop, i got mine from a tool sale for about a $100, its a good investment regardless to have your own tools that you can use whenever you need instead of useing someone elses when its convenient for them, trust me i thought my swap was going to be quick and painless, i would of been borrowing someones tools for 2 years now had i not bought my own
Cardboard is your freind. Fluids will come out of places you didn't know existed
SHIFT_LOVEthat involves sooo much more work though...tie rods, subframe, power steering lines, AND whatever the bitch that is the s12 throws your way
jeffwins24that could be very usful for someone who doesn't own a hoist though. my automotive teacher had to do that once. his miata blow a motor (completely shot) he got some dollie or some shit with tires and replaced the motor that way... he put his miata near a tree and dropped the motor in from the tree using the tree as a hoist. Lolomg lol, i would never trust wood to do metals job...weird...i wouldve been scared shitless that the branch wouldve broken...but regardless, once you get the engine out youre going to havta have someone help you rock that bitch off of the cross member, and then back on again...which...risks damage to the oil pan and what have you...but regardless...its your choice dude...do what makes you happy
crazy things he use to do lol
(EDIT: he had to do it in a 1 - 2 day period because his miata is his DD
.....
i said.
im borrowing a hoist?
jesus
^lol
I've heard of people using trees several times. I wouldn't trust it tho

Thats probably not strong enough to handle the engine.
EDIT: You mean I beam, ok, that might be good enough. Regardless,
You sure as shit wouldn't want to get it halfway out, and then have it come down on the car. It could fuck it up pretty badly. Be worse if you happened to be in the way...
The hoist would have to be secured to the I beam really, really well.
If you purposely damage the house, they can come after you, not that its likely tho

once your done with the swap give the motor (CA20E) to nissan watch I bet they'll throw it away Lol
Don't forget heater core lines.
what do i leave in exactly....
i understand the brake stuff, blah blah,
anything important?
jeffwins24once your done with the swap give the motor (CA20E) to nissan watch I bet they'll throw it away LolHAHAHA!!!LOL AND OTHER SUCH INTERNET LAUGH ABBREVIATIONS!!!
you'll leave the vacume canster alone as well as the power stearing lines, basicly anything you disconect will have a counter part on your new motor that will have to be reconected, a feed and return line for just about everything, just label everything if that helps and take your time, read any nissan swap guide you can get your hands on, there all basicly the same. the sr20det into s13 swap guides that the tuner and project car mags. did helped me a buntch with getting the basic idea of how nissan does things

UPDATE******
alright,
i got sick of not being able to find a hoist,
and im obviously impatient,
so i decided to get some BRAIN
i attempted removing the transmission, plus it will make it easier to pull the engine right?
and... my trans is going out, so i might as well learn how to pull one, and replace another...
SO
wielding my POS 160 piece toolset of MIGHT! and 3 painstaking hours later
success!
hahaha
and arro,
sterling was right, im just stupid,
there is another piece to the driveshaft
i need a hoist!
dammit
you could peice out the motor part by part until you just have the cylinder block (without the pistons) in the car then you can have someone help you take it out manually like that. plus it'll give you a chance to learn alot of cool stuff along the way.
