oh and another thing is that the wires that go to the white plugs are taped togther with the green plugs.
They both come inside into the car so they may be for the tip ecu or gauges maybe.
Ben did yours have the white plugs in you loom.
My loom is a complete loom it has all the battery terminals and everything

I got mine at trade price thru my mechanic... and I still havent paid him for it

You also need to have your flywheel machined to suit that clutch to make sure its absolutely spot on with the tower heights. Go find a local clutch specialist & ask them (also if they can supply the clutch.)

another update

Hey guys mounted my front mount onto the car looks sweet and I also made up the piping from the intercooler to the throttle body.
Just waiting on flywheel and clutch then I will figure out how to do the front turbo actuator as the gearbox will be then bolted on so I can see were the actuator has 2 sit.

Then I will drop my motor out and then drop the 6a13 in and see how many pipes I gotta move and see if it hits the steering rack likes ben

ok clutch is on the way got a craker of a deal to got it down from 560 to 420 and should be here next week. I have decided to bite the bulit and take my car off the road next sat and pull the motor out needs some answers though.
Hey ben did you take your motor out with the gearbox attached and did you drop it out or lift it out the top.

After all the engine and everything is out and I start moving lines ben did you get somebody to do it for you or you do it urself.
How far did you have to move each line I read you said aircon powersteering and brake.
I am guessing your 6a12 wiring loom is still in the car.
I also have to put my manual stuff in so might take me a few days
Thanks guys any help would be good

You gotta read my thread more carefully mate

Engine & gearbox is easiest dropped out from beneath whole.

Im not moving any lines, Im moving the turbo

6A12 loom is out, 6A13 is in. You need to drop out half the air con stuff from behind the glove box to be able to do it.

nvr2low · Post by **nvr2low** » Thu Nov 06, 2008 11:43 am

ok man so the 6a12 loom was taken out did this include all the plugs to the dash and everything or just the engine loom as doesn't the 6a13 loom have to be wired into all the dash buddy. I am sorry about this I aint the best mechanic lol.
But I swear I read that u moved your brake lines and stuff man.
With the aircon stuff behind the glove box do u just have to move it all so the wires come out man. My main problem is about the wiring loom what I have to leave in the car so the sparky can wire the 6a13 loom in this is were I gt confused
Thanks ben

Its just the engine loom you remove. It comes into the cabin under the air con stuff & plugs into the ECU which is mounted up on the side of the car under the air con gear. You pull the CU out & pull the loom all the way out from the engine bay. Its about a metre & a half worth of wire & plugs. As to how it all wires backup, dunno, thats for my sparky to work out!

ok kool man thanks. It just with my 6a13 loom it has green plugs which is for the ecu then all these white plugs which are taped with the ecu plugs and I was just wondering if the 6a12 loom as any other plugs that plug in any were else other than the ecu inside the car as that is what my 6a13 loom looks like it has

Post by **vipfto** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 5:22 pm

its the actual pipe coming off the turbo that runs into exhaust its hitting the rack check out bens pics mate you will see which one

nvr2low · Post by **nvr2low** » Sat Nov 08, 2008 6:26 pm

so are you saying the dump pipe his hitting the steering rack man.
it is just in his circle their is another pipe and i have been looking for that pipe as this is the one i thought was hitting the steering rack.
well if that is the problem wouldn't we just need new dump pipe made up

nvr2low · Post by **nvr2low** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 8:27 pm

dont mean to be rude mate but are you doing this yourself? without knowing much about a turbo engine and never doing an engine swap before

if so youve got some big balls and i take my hat off to ya
