99acr Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Here's the situation. I've got a 05 LGT 5eat with a good engine and crap body and I just picked up a 05 OBXT 5spd with a great body and bad engine. Besides the clutch and flywheel assembly, what else do I need to swap off the OBTX engine to make the LGT engine work? Is the wiring harness going to be the same? Any help is much appreciated!

relative4 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 A good available '05 engine? Inconceivable! Totally identical, except for some reason the automatic doesn't have timing belt guides. Obviously use the turbo that comes with the good engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JmP6889928 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Don't forget to put a pilot bearing in the back of the crankshaft when converting from AT to MT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Don't forget to put a pilot bearing in the back of the crankshaft when converting from AT to MT. The new clutch kit will come with that. Assuming he's putting a new clutch in the car. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Berge56 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 And the pilot bearing is in the flywheel....you have to swap the flex plate off the auto for the flywheel from the manual. But yes a new pilot bearing should come with the clutch kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
