Whilst converting engine anything you think I extra i should do

[archie837]

Do the engine mounts.

Once the engine is in tip top condition as other people have said you need to check everything else,

- Suspension in good order, top mounts etc
- Mounts are all good, Polybush dogbone (costs less than £20)
- Brakes are cool, May need upgrading however I still run 280mm 1.6 brakes on my set up atm
- Wishbones bushes, drop links, ball joints and tie rods etc.
- I would buy a 3inch downpipe and decat. Youl need a good cat back exhaust then pref 2.5inch atleast for better flow.

Woowwww man the list goes on and on but these things take time. Look after the engine first then worry about little things after 

Once/whilst this is all done you can get mods like fmic, panel filter, forge 007p, forge actuator, turbo intake pipe and solid flywheel conversion. Once remapped you have done everything in one go and youl love it.

Port and polish the exhaust manifold and check for cracks ,
Hybrid sump too , secondary air pump blank too ,

Definitely do the cambelt and pick up pipe. Id change the clutch and flywheel to g60/vr6. Its about £230 for the kit. Once the engines in a garage would charge near enough that in labour 

PCV and SAI stuff is easy with the engine in place anyway.

So how big is your budget for this engine change again?

Probs check out some of the bushes in the arms? Either replace with OEM or maybe polybush...

yeah man poly bushing the lot!

If you have the bare engine out of the car this is what id do.

- Sump off change the pick up pipe
- Timing belt and water pump change
- Rip out all the breather PCV system fit a catch can
- Inlet manifold off and rocker cover and give them a clean/polish/paint.
- Gearbox off empty oil/refill with new and paint.
- Turbo off refit with good K03s if you have AGU engine code.
- Exhaust manifold off and port the inside for better flow.

And finally give the engine a really good service change the plugs, oil filter, oil, G12 coolant etc.
The above is alot of work but with engine out of the car your laughin and youl end up doing everything anyway. Imagine fitting everything and constantly having problems.

Yeah man this is all on the cards, when the engine goes in i want it to be running sweet as! its got a KO3s turbo on it!
This is going to cost me an arm and a leg!
