[WIGGLE]

[AsH_]

wat would vicroads need to approve a engine swap ???

[souperman]

does ITR drive shaft fit perfectly?
does it matter if it's from a pre99ITR or post99ITR?

[ECU-MAN]

Do you need to get an engineer certifcate?
i thought u just get a blue slip wit the new engine code then give it to the rta

[souperman]

comes with the type R engine which is stamped "b18c" with no number on the end..
although the jdm "VTIR equivalent" is also stamped b18c..

b18c5 is the US type R engine
b18c7 is the AU type R engine
b18c is the JDM type R/SiR engine

so how do you distinguish btwn a b18c JDM ITR and a b18c JDM VTIR when you order a halfcut?

the S80 gearbox LSD is one way

intake manifold aswell..
and colour of rocker cover..

assuming that these two have not been changed..

[souperman]

ok thanks

and also, with the discussion of engine mounts (hasports, avid): is it not possible just to use the mounts from the half cut? or do they not fit in the eg?

[souperman]

is this swap more difficult if you start with an automatic rather than a manual?
what more is involved? (with the halfcut, you'd get everything you need for the manual conversion right?)

You need to change driver side mount (atach to the chassis rails) and weld on a manual one. Also drill 2 holes for the shift linkage. Thats about it i think.
