So its taken me about 7 - 8 weeks to get to this point. Engines running smoothly and ready to go. Just need to install a boost gauge and some oil sensors, also put the short drive shaft back in and it will be ready for a test drive :)

Long time since ive updated this as tapatalk on my phone still isn't working !! So for now ill let the pictures do the talking....

So tonight i cracked on with getting the engine out as im away this weekend at camperjam so wanted it out. Luckily my car sat low enough for me to put my trolley under the engine and pull it out. So this is what it looks like now. Next job will be cleaning the bay up and pulling the old loom out. Anyone got any advice on taking it out as ive never done it before.

Met some other owners which was awsome. Got loads of pictures but ill just put the one up for now. [ATTACH=CONFIG]93772[/ATTACH] I got my cover and inlet manifold powder coated by a friend,done a cracking job ! [ATTACH=CONFIG]93775[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]93778[/ATTACH] Couple of pictures of how it looks now. [ATTACH=CONFIG]93781[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]93784[/ATTACH] I think tomorrow i will start stripping it apart ready to take the engine out

Cheers pal. I havnt yet no. But I did find a thread somone wrote up on doing it. And it didn't look too hard, it was just a case of making a bracket and tack welding it in. Ill try and find it again. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Got the engine cleaned up and first coat of paint on. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Stripped the engine down last night ready to throw some gunk on it to clean it and paint the block. Also doing the cam belt whilst I'm there. Took the inlet and rocker cover off and got a mate powder coating them for me. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I'm going to do my own downpipe as I'm a stainless pipe welder so should be easy enough [emoji106] engine code is auq Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Cheers dude. I'm getting someone to do the loom for me but taking it out is daunting me as I'm not the best with wiring and it scares me haha. Yeah I'm going to use my wheel or a g60 with a vr6 clutch and my box just for ease. Also going to buy a bigger intercooler and induction so I can get it mapped. Not looking for mega power but 220 will do me [emoji108] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

After reading and reading up on 20v swaps, I found this down the road and got in the van to pick it up ! Got everything included which I needed aswell. I've started getting the engine ready to go in by cleaning and getting bits powder coated. Also new timing belt and pieces while it's out. Anyone have any tips or good how to's on this swps. I've read alot so pretty clued up but things like connecting fuel lines and water lines to heater matrix. Also taking my old loom out. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Picture of the little boot build I did. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

One little project I did do to the car was install air cups on the front. I made two MDF stands which hold the fire extinguisher tanks. And the compressor and wiring is all hidden under them. Could do with a photo of the boot how to how it looks like now, I covered the stands in black leather. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
