Here was my day. I’ve had this parts car for a while, just been waiting on a friend to help me get the motor to my garage with his truck for a while and got sick of waiting.
Find your daily driver…my drug of choice, my CL 2.3 Premium
Take out the passenger seat.
Find a parts car with a good engine and take it out with one big ass hoist…this thing is massive and old, but worked extremely well.
Pull the engine over dirt, uneven pavement and put it on the middle of a hill driveway.
Carefully stick the engine in the passenger side of the CL.
Drive to where the engine is being donated into and hook the engine back up to the hoist and back it out of the car.
When the engine is clear of the car, pull the car away…much easier than trying to move this thing on mudd
Clean up the engine with a steamer and degreaser and mount the massive turbo.
Jack up the car way in the air and try your best to slide this thing on a heavy ass steel plate under the car.
Finished for the day…in a couple of weeks I will be pulling this up from the bottom.
Cant wait to get back up and running…I took off the IM to port match it a little and smooth out the runners a touch and clean out the old gunk that was in there. I am using everything from my old setup and will be adding a Hondata intake manifold gasket and larger (2.5 Bar) MAP sensor
Hey, at least now you know you can fit an entire LS motor in the passenger side of a 2-door CL or Accord
Ditto, how come you chose to install from underneath, better yet, let us know which way seemed easier, pulling from the top or installing from underneath.
Well, when I do it, Im going to pull it up from the bottom. I have a small ass garage and this just seems like it will work best…but who knows. I plan on taking more pics while its happening so stay tuned
Chris- DOh! I fucked up sorry I havent been around to help you.I’ve been working crazy hours and trying in vain to get my ass to tx. Looks good so far though
