im doing a dek swap in the next week in my 95 max!!!! anyone got any helpfull hints or tips to make the install go smoother..or is there any threads on the swap...any help is apreciated

 

you;re doing the swap with no knowledge about it?

 

My tip to you is to read the stickies in the All Motor forum. Tons of good threads and info here on the org.

Chew on this for awhile....

surprising huh?

 

nah not really

 

LOL

Come Monday, hopefully we won't see a, "Help guys, my car won't start after the VI swap." thread.


Do lots of OP!!!!

 

Oh I'll be waiting ha. I can't understand how people start mods like this with no knowledge

 

i have knowledge morons...did u read what i posted??? i said any helpful hints to make things smoother?? not i have no clue what im doing how do i do it please tell me step by step...READ BEFORE U POST!

 

Yes, we read what you posted.....I'm sorry, but you cleary said, "or is there any threads on the swap".

This gives us the impression that you have no knowledge of doing the swap.

You're welcome for the link.

 

im doing the whole motor not the im

 

Ok. May I ask why not an IM swap?

I did a quick search for a writeup and came up empty handed. Guess the FSM/Haynes will have to do.

 

my stock de is shot 152k on it....did compression test all cylinders are very low...car runs like poo soo...ima just throw the dek in there..its pretty much a direct swap.just a couple modifications and im ready to rock and roll

 

yeah it's not just a direct swap. There are a lot of things that aren't the same on the de-k as the de. Buy a good de and swap on the VI. A nicely tunned VI swap on the de is better then the de-k.

 

i didnt mean it...its just everytime i post sumthing i get ragged on and its sumthing i didnt even say in the post

 

well sorry but you should deal. No need to call anyone a moron. Most of the time a newb says that then comes back looking for help. No one understands until you're here long enough. And yes, your original post def made it seem like you thought it was a simple swap. Do the de swap with VI.

 

it is alot of work tho dont jsut call it a direct swap i mean it is a dircet swap but u ve gotta change ur harness and i think some vaccumes and stuff to make it work with ur ecu... or just drop a mevi+jwt ecu and call it a day...

 

^^You don't have to change your harness, just a couple connections, for example you will need the injector connectors from the donor car. Mevi when he has a perfectly good '00VI? that's so pointless imho.

Tips in general for pulling a VQ? Would that help? (excuse the other guys, once you're around for awhile you'll understand, I could tell that you weren't asking to be spoonfed, but I could see how they made that mistake, spend some time on here and you'll understand)

Jack it up at your normal & safe working height on jackstands, disconnect everything, use the engine hoist (chain under lower intake manifold FTW, use a coathanger, it's a biotch but much safer, cut the fuel line on the junk engine, slightly bend the rails on the new one, this will make sense later), drop the motor/tranny & crossmember down on to the ground. THAN, lift the car off of the motor using the engine hoist. Toss the two engine/tranny mount bolts back into the brackets on the car, and use a tow-rope or really long chain, I prefer the tow rope so the bolt's don't have to take all the weight in one spot, but it requires you to loop the tow rope back and forth a few times and getting creative, I wish I had pics of the setup that I use now, it works awesome. Than use blocks underneath your jackstands, you can't extend the jackstands enough, it will be unsafe. Lower it onto the jackstands and place two wheels on each side underneath or something similiar, for added safety 'just in case'.

Hummm, might want to think about doing a waterpump for safe measure while the engine is out, trust me on this one, also make sure you jb weld your more-than-likely broken vias cup (research). The power steering belt is a lot easier to do when the engine is hanging in the air, and the fuel pump is cake when you can stand in your engine bay. Don't forget to remove your TPS if you have abs

 

Calling those you'd like to help you "morons" doesn't really better the situation.

 

swap is done!

 

hahaha oh yeah? One night swap?

 

Don't u know? He has knowledge.... moron
