well nevermind. this last month has been a fucked up one and shit just keeps getting worse. the last two bigest things that have happened went in this order. my clutch went out. i paid a friend who is a good mechanic $300 to change the clutch which i gave $80. i get the car back and it runs great. two days later(today) on my way to work either a rod began to knock or it spun a bearing or is about to. i start it and there is knocking, it knocks hard at idle and it knocks wen giving throtle but also makes a sound like the bearing is spun. so to make a long story short i am fucked and i dont live at home(long fucked up story) so now i have a car, screwed up engine, and a tt engine that i cant afford to put in.

WOW Bummer! Sorry to hear about your string of bad luck man. Stick in there, things will get better sooner or later.

You already have an engine that can be dropped into the car? do you have an engine hoist?
I'm riding to Knoxville on the 5th and heading back to Memphis on the 6th .. On my way I can help you pull the old engine and drop the "new" one.. shouldn't take too long..
You would be responsible for providing the tools and a $5.00 foot long at the most..

well i have an engine but it needs one of the cams put in it(which i have), it will have 450cc injectors cause its a 15g setup so im sure getting it running right wouldnt be easy. every vacuum line has to be replace, ecu and wiring harness still have to be pulled from the parts car, blah blah blah. its not ready to be "dropped" in. oh i also have to get a clutch to support the setup. after paying 380 to have a OE clutch for a n/a. wat a waste of money

Well, you have a week and a half to replace the harness

..
You can easily pull the engine yourself if you're willing to take the time to do it..
It requires minimal tools..
A wrench and socket of the following sizes..
10mm
12mm
14mm
17mm
19mm
a rubber or lead mallet (just in case)
and a lot of patience. ..
You need to get under there and remove the Downpipe and the CV axles.
remove the trans mount completely from the trans and the engine bay (fender well 4x14mm bolts)
Then you put a jack under the engine (find a good spot to jack it at the rear a little use a 2x4 if you have one)..
jack the engine a little to take the tension off of the rear mount bolt..
take out the rear mount bolt, then let the engine down and do the same for the front..
then remove the drivers side mount bolt ..
then unplug all harnesses you can find and slowly pull the engine out. Remember to just pump the hoist a few times really slowly and then move the back of the engine down and the trans down a little and unplug harnesses as they become visible.
The engine will be out in no time..
With no engine the Harness shouldn't take too much time to replace..
swap the ECU in with some 360cc injectors and run an OEM boost solenoid for a while..
No need to go crazy on the boost right away anyway.. ..
