Ceejay29 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Firstly how long does it take for a mechanic to remove the DE engine? My old man may be helping me, he just doesn't know yet. Secondly; What bolt-ons would you suggest whilst it's out? I will be fitting headers and an uprated clutch with lightened fly. I have the plenum spacer and CAI kit installed. I am now considering pulleys and grounding kit? Anything else within reason? Can't afford major work - cams/pistons etc. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Alex, much quicker than removing the box and trying to install the headers in-situ then. Plus I will be able to use a torque wrench Edited March 15, 2016 by Ceejay29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Best to take the engine and the box out as one through the front with bumper etc removed. Leave the engine loom connected to the engine and disconnect from the ECU and pull through the bulkhead / firewall. However if you are only fitting a clutch and headers then this will be doable with the engine insitu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
