Thread: 6 bolt swap

Hey Manny what parts did you need to put up 6 bolt in your 2g?(besides thermostat housing, water pipe, 2g oil pan, 2g intake manifold,motor mount brackets)

I'm thinking of long block 6 bolt engine and just bolting up 7 bolt external stuff on it. All that stuff that you have on there doesn't seem right because there is too much stuff. Thanks for tlooking up the info man.

You will need to use a 6bolt water pump. You will also need a 1g CAS which will need to be wired in properly. You have to hack up the 2g driver side motor mount as well as cut the 2g shifter weight off. You will need the 1g oil filter houseing and perferably the 89-90 oil cooler. If you get a 89-90 oil cooler and your turbo is only oil cooled, you can do what I did and get a nice clean 89-94 N/A water pipe as well as the N/A thermostat housing, without the extra nipples for the turbo or oil filter housing. Makes for a really nice and easy install. You will need the lower radiator pipe from a 1g as well. On a final note, you will need to hack up the lower timing belt cover for a 1g, so that you can time your motor correctly. It will need to be 5 btdc. Also there is no ground to time the motor correctly, so the way I did it was to pull the engine fuse so it doesn't start, and just turn the motor to see where timing was. I think it's the only way to set timing on a 2g with a 1g CAS.

Thanks Manny :D
