Max Capacity Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 If the engine is coming out anyways, just pull it now. The exhaust manifold has to come off, the timing belt and gears have to come off, the intake has to come off. After all the work inside the car, all that's left is the tranny bolts. Just pull the engine, then take it apart on the engine stand. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

Moderators BarManBean Posted September 25, 2015 Moderators Share Posted September 25, 2015 Push the plastic rings in and pull at the quick disconnects (they make a tool for this but you can fiddle with it also). Or undo the clamps at the FPR and just pull the rubber hose off there.

Max Capacity Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Read my thread in my click here link. Pull the clamps off at the shock tower. SO MUCH EASIER.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 I dunno WTF hit it.. But one thing I'm wondering about is I'm thinking about going back to the 20G that was on the car when I picked it up but obviously change the fuel pump out and injectors.. from what I hear no smaller then 750 cc but what about the fuel pump? I need a link to that thread about removing the engine so far all I pulled was the intake manifold but with the FMIC and the hoses and BCS in different areas then stock I'm going to need a crap load of help when I get stuff back into place.. lots of hoses are going to need to be replaced. My main thing is to get the heads off so I can get the valve clearance measured then the heads sent off to get resurfaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-3-2-4 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Near the end of this motor's life (I managed to get almost 230k out of it) the knock sensor was pulling so much timing I could hardly accelerate sometimes.. if no one ever felt what timing felt like being pulled all they needed to do was ride in my car.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 I'm going to need a decent amount of help I'm only used to pulling EJ25 and Ej22 engines so this is a bit different with the vast amount of lines all over the place.. hopefully when things go back in I can clean it up a little.

Max Capacity Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Damn, didn't you see the pictures in my click here link. Why did you take all the intake manifold and leave the TGV's the TB there ? Remove that assemble as a unit after the engine is out. All you have to do is disconnect the fuel lines from the hose clamps on the shock tower. lay the PS and AC to the sides, do not disconnect the hoses from them. It's pretty easy if you look it over first and make a plan. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

1-3-2-4 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 it's a mess of hoses right now.. the BCS was stuffed between the alt and PS pump I removed the IM because only one line I could remove for fuel and that stupid bracket on the IM end was in the way so I bent it inwards to be able to clear it.
