Good curb episode right there!

so this weekend some good stuffs will get done, prolly get the engine ready to pull, swap necessary parts over and what not. Pretty much lots of good pushes all around.

Pics of the swap. I want to laugh.

will do.

As I havent pulled a miata engine out before, and hot tips (awww yea dem tips) to make it slide in and out smoothly?

Hammer, Sawzall, pry bar.

Unplug the battery.
Unbolt the cat from the header and the rest of the exhaust.
Unbolt the 4 bolts holding the drive shaft to the differential and then pull out the drive shaft.
Unplug the 4 wires on the top of the transmission and the speedo line.
Drain fluids from the trans, engine, radiator.
Unbolt the 3 17mm and 2 14mm bolts from the PPF to the transmission.
Unbolt the clutch slave and hard lines from transmission.
Remove the coolant lines from the upper and lower radiator and the heater hose lines.
Unplug all the electrical connections.
Remove the radiator.
Disconnect the fuel lines.
Unbolt the 2 14mm motor mounts.
Pull out motor.

That should be a rough list of what all needs to happen to pull the motor, then reverse the steps to put it back in. Make sure you pull the trans and motor as one unit and put them back in together.

aggressive

Thanks!

Seems like you have done this a few times.....

also will the trans fluid leak out when the driveshaft is removed? what fluid do you recommend? redline mt90?

Amsoil unicorn jizz.

ahh, i hear that can handle the heat and grinding quite well, even under constant pressure...

A few times would be an understatement. I have done it a few times just this year.

The trans should not leak much fluid out the back when the driveshaft is removed. You can drain all the fluids before you remove the drive shaft if you want. The fill bolt will be a square bolt that some sized 12point socket should fit, the drain bolt for the trans is a 24mm I believe. For new trans fluid Amsoil MTG 75-90 is the only fluid you should use. Hit up Savington on here who owns Trackspeed Engineering for the hook up on Amsoil products.

what about limp-i-corn oil? I need to save money on this build.

If you want to save money, building a turbo car is the wrong way to do it.

It all depends on context. It's certainly cheaper than building an n/a car. N/A is the expensive way to go slow.

Props for that post Nuge. I never understand the desire to cheap out on critical points when pursuing higher horsepower.
