so my bruv' "gitfarm" has decided at last
that the ca18det aka silvia turbo engine is to go in the viva coupe as first planned...... so....
we take this:
and remove this:
then we get this ..:
so we do this to the sump:
to the std capacity with a trapdoor so we can get it closer to the bukhead for good wieght distribition..
we start with the mounts:
the gearstick is a bit far back but nuthing a cranked lever and a little bit of handbrake fettling wont sort out:
to be finished when the engine is removed and painted etc....
then theres the wiring!!.....
but by aid of the internet, a diagram of the ecu plug etc we work out thet onley five wires or so need connecting in a certain way... but its never as easy as that is it?!
well... we twist a few together and put the fuel pump in a bucket of petrol:
literally!!
then.... well watch...the video next...
