bump for the pic of the egr temp sensor

 

ill look for a pic, but its a one wire sensor, its bracket is bolted to the iacv bolt. its one of the harder bolts to get to, like right next to the cruise control module.

 

nvm im so caught up in this i forgot to think about google images...duh. its the one thats one the egr guide tube. the dek came with it already there. will the plugs match up de to dek? or do i actually need to swap it? thanks

 

ok so i got the engine, trans, hoses, shifter linkage, exhaust, driver axel, starter etc all hooked up today, all i have left to do tomorrow is radiator, pass axel and hook up harness. fill her up with fluids ...spin the crank a few times by hand and hope for the best. im hoping for success but if something wrong ill be back on here tomorrow so wish me luck haha

 

So....the motor started up first try......I turned he crank like 10times by hand to move he oil around a bit....primed the fuel a few times and it took like. 8 se ones but turned over....juri forgot to hook up the brake booster so it idled high. Hooked it up and all was good....thegave it some gas and it boged then died so I bought...oh crap. Maf. Sensor lol so I hooked it up and it wouldn't start....reset the ecu and still nothing...gave it some gas via pedal and it started and idles at exactly 1000 rpm ....I have to find a small vac leak that I can hear and it should idle fine aftr that. On cold starts like this morning...I have to feather the gas for like 10seconds and it wont die after that so long story short is banks for the help! It runs smooth do far but ill be back with more questions im sure

 

Great job man ! Lets see some installed engine pics !

 

Congrats man glad you got it all working. Enjoying the fire ***** you'll be spitting when you let off the gas lol.

 

Yup I do have some backfiring but not much...it doesn't help that I have 2.5 inch exaust straight back to tip haha its kinda loud

 

 

That's just as we got the motor in...ill take some pics tomorrow n post them up.but since I just figured out how to upload pics the easy way ill post a few of the blown de

 

Ipulled this out of the hole in the front of the block..



Crank cradle...snapped....causing a hole in the block on the rear of the motor..


Hole in the front

 

Another shot of the hole..

Another of the hole and crank cradle..



And whatthe motor is now lol...anybody need timing equipment lol water pump...everything heads up is good on the motor lol

 

Congrats on finally getting it finished man. Once you get it in and started the first time you realize how simple the swap really can be. But like anything, the first time you do it, it can be overwhelming.

 

It really wasn't that bad. But yes it was my first swap so I had alot of questions....I wanted to do it right so I WOULD start first try lol but banks for the help all!

 

SORRY FOR the pics.. but I you once you get in there it all just becomes clear. This is hardly and engine "swap". It is more of a replacement.

 

pretty much yea its just more of a replacent, but why go de when you can spend just as much if not cheaper, get a motor with less mileage, better gas mileage, and more hp for the same amount of work??? haha

 

I buy the DEK for liek 300-400.. sell the 00vi and make back 200$. I think 200$ for an engine revision is pretty good.

 

What caused the crank girdle to fail? low oil pressure and spun crank bearing?

 

No I think my rod broke it when it broke from the piston but idk lol

 

why does the DEK always look so much more complicated and ominous... sigh

 

I would have to say because of all the vacuum lines, and all the extra emissions equipment that have to be removed.

 

Hows the engine running now? Did you get the variable intake working? More power than before?

 

Actually its running great man. I haven't got the money to get the wideband/ safc2 etc yet to fix the a/f but its still running pretty good. I just got back from Va beach so that's 4.5 hours one way and it ran like a champ all the way.

Not to mention. It got 27 mpg on the way down and 25 on the way back in the wind lol. And I deleted the swirl valves so I don't notice anything...but top end I can feel it.its smoother for one. But I can't wait to get it all tuned and what not.
