pic5... timing chain and pullies off...

pic6... stripped to the blick and sent to get bored out

pic8... me and my bro in law putting on the clutch and then tranny lining that up was a bitch!!

its all up and running and breaking the new internals in... now im just looking for different turbo options.... im looking for 450 whp well see what kinda set up i use...

thanks to those that help me out!!

nice dude, congrats, looks like a ton of work.

any reason you chose to pull the motor from the top? A lot of times I see people remove the bumper and crash bar, and bring it out the front of the car.

Wow, good shit. Congrats. Really wish I would have done that with my ms6.

Nice build. I gotta remind myself to detail my 8's FI build on here as well as RX-8 club.

saved a hells lot of work. didnt have to remove the bumper, frame, intercooler, radiator, fan.. all that junk stayed put... just took the intake mani off give some more room and pops right out the top :)

Nice ... Was it that bad ??
I am not looking forward to doing this ..

Did you replace the rear main seal, flywheel bolts and crank pulley bolt?

Thats How I see most motors being pulled, is from the top. Looks like it worked fine!

Good shit man..looks real good, If I had mechanic buddy to help me, I might have the balls to do it. Anyways your doing it RIGHT....cost more time and money...but now you know your set in terms of your motor handling power.

Good luck on turbo choices, You have options. for 450 whp, Garrett and Precision turbos seem nice for this car. BorgWarner are making some killer EFR turbos, with FULL RACE trying to make kit for us. anyways good luck with everything.

yea of couse i did thats a must

i thought it was going to be alot harder then it really was, it took in totall like 2 1/2 weeks.. only was really about to work on the weekends on it and it was at the shop getting the block worked on for about a week.

it was funny cuz i was like o ok its ready to be pulled... then before you know it your ready to put it back in! just make sure you mark and label everything blue masking tape works great lol and take a million pictures haha
