TI Support....
 

was needed today to help Tony..aka...B18Cer. If you guys remember Tony was in an accident and his insurance company decided to write off his car and since Tony didn't want all the good things about his Teg to go to waste, he's decided to do a motor swap from his 4 door Teg to a 2 door Civic EG Hatch. Big thanks goes out to the following TI members:

Trenell, Gowsic, Bryan, Simon, Erick, Alex, Nina(newest TI member), and of course SICGWAN...Glenn!

So I thought I would post a few pictures to show you guys some of the progress over the last few hours. Also a CHEERS goes out to TONY who not only provided us with GREAT West Indian food, but refreshments and entertainment...lol

Onto the pics:

looks like fun, gj guys!

Great stuff, but I have to laugh when I look at these pictures!!

Stark contrast from a few weeks ago :P

So now I know why you never got back to me about the lift :)

good pics! looks like you guys are having a fun time.

Hey... you guys want to take out that teg steering rack out for me?

I want to experiment on one... Removing the PS hydrolics from within the rack.

Doug:

I have a PS Integra steering rack, if you want one - $40 obo and it's yours. It's not doing me any good. Let me know - email me - engsr(at)hotmail(dot)com.

WOW........ glad to see that everyone helped out. I'm just a needle in the haystack on this board, but it's very warming to see peeps helping out. Kudos to all of you guys and gals..

B18C5er: wanna sell me your master cylinder? wait.. would that fit a DA/DB?

---- i totally forgot about this

Nice work guys

Motor is in and all is good.

Welcome to the EG Massive. :willy:

Those guys are the greatest. They are very skilled at what they do and are very fun to work with. I thank you all again. If it weren't for you guys, I don't know where I'd be with this whole accident mess. I really really appreciate the help and hope I can repay the favour one day.

mdt115:The master cylinder has to stay in the Teg as I will be selling the shell. Sorry...

no prob. At least I got what I wanted :D And this time I didn't fall asleep under the car.

For anyone else that wants the TI pitcrew to for installs, we run on Filipino/Jamaican/Sri Lankan/Chinese/Hut Like Fire time. Time scheduled for 11am we arrived at 4pm :laugh1:

great to hear everything is running. wish i coulda stayed to hear it start up, but watching glenn use all his energy made me tired lmao. did any one end up getting any cho-co-lates?

How long did the swap take overall?


James

nice work guys. So who was the lead mechanic, the Jamacian....lol

Yep. Mr. Trenell was the head mechanic. That guy knows everything. The Integra header and the Civic exhaust wouldn't line up properly due to the angles of the flanges. But he would not rest until he devised a way to have them match up. And he did. That was pretty much the last thing that needed to be done.

We started the swap at around 4pm. Had dinner at around 6:30-7. Finished the swap at around maybe 3am and then just spent time fine tuning things and working on the exhaust.

It was great, I can't stress that enough. Lots of laughs, great stories, learned a lot...and we had the birth of Towsic and Grenell...lol.

i woulda came out and helped if I had known about this. What is happening with the eg engine?

^^Chris...the EG engine is Trenell's

Yeah, Trenell is the guy with the wealth of knowledge. I've learned a lot from him in the last two years. I'm trying to think if there's anything he has yet to do with a car, aside from body work.

But thanks for allowing us and trusting us to do the swap - I think it was the first for some of us. And I doubt it will be the last.

Damn I always wanted to watch an engine swap.. just to get some knowledge.

Looks good!

It wasn't just me, all of us came together and got this done. I've learned a lot from Bryan Fuzzy, Glenn etc as well.

Next swap happens when Fuzzy gets his motor done.

Oh add Tony to the list of cars that's faster than Fuzzy! :finger:

^^burrrnnn!

that was definitely a learning experience, i have some knowledge with cars, but to think of it now, its really not that hard to do a swap. you might a little bit of muscle but definitely doable.
Grenell did great work. and had to just had to get the flanges done. but hey look on the brighter side, Tony, just saved at least 30-50 bucks from Speedy mufflers attaching a flange on there.

that was a very long day

Here are the last progress pics from lastnight. Sorry for the delays..after coming home after 7am...I got kinda lazy...lol

again much respect for all of you who helped out. It's nice too see everyone getting together to help someone out.

Can i call you guys out when i need my motor swapped? lol j/k!

yeah man of course, just make a post of when, where and the TI motor swap crew will show up.


Some people just have to much pride or are to shy to ask, but there's no reason to be.

of course i'll provide beer and entertainment. :P

i wish i was there for the whole swap, but i'm glad i was there to lend a hand and hear that badboy fire up! and no PS sucks!

Just came back from driving the car again. I gotta get used to driving without power steering. The hatch is QUICK!!! It's going for safety and E-test tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to get it insured tomorrow as well.

These guys are good. The car fired up on its first try. I honestly enjoyed working with all of you guys.

damn nice job guyz. swap being fired up the first time is unheard of.

damn good work guys! Always nice to see everyone helping each other out

Subsidiary of the West Coast MASSIVE!! BOOYAKASHA!

im glad my supervision paid off. Thank for the awesome food Tony! BTW, Glenn. The pot-o-gold was deeeeeelicious!

No problemo dude. Anytime....I think Trenell wants to swap that D series we took out into an EG sometime soon. We will most likely be doing the swap at my dad's shop again...so more food. Next time i'll order more, because there was none left..lol.

looks like u guys had some good fun!

/\

just to add to that...you guys did look like you had a lot of fun. I would have loved to come if I had known earlier. Glad to see everything worked out well! I'll definitely be there for fuzzy's swap!

bump..

stumbled across this thread....thought i'd bump it to reminisce the good ole days..

^lol, I was wondering wtf was going on. I thought we were gonna have to do a swap on the 350!!!

Maybe we'll put an LS/VTEC into it yo. STILL!
