FTO 6A13TT Simplified
Posted: Sat Jun 08, 2019 2:52 pm
Hi Guys,
I am planning to put a 6A13TT into my FTO, replacing the mivec 2.0.
After reading various threads (that meander somewhat) I think I have the steps down to basics.
any other advice welcome.
Tasks
remove old engine
Change Fuel pump to walbro 255hi-pressure
move Brake junction to driver side chassis rail the other option is on the firewall on the gearbox side, near the Heater core piping
Relocate battery to boot
offer engine and modify dump pipe to bend around steering
The power steering hose also had to be made, being redirected under the car following the rail instead of the upper side of the intake manifold
6mm plate was used as a spacer on the engine mount side as well as on the gearbox side and cross-member to lower the engine for clearance.
Use exhaust wrap to wrap up the front and rear manifolds as well as the gear selector cables (individually)
Mount two 12" slimline Mishimoto fans onto the radiator
Mount new fuel filter
re-offer engine
fto tranny onto engine
change ecu
Check engine mounts
final engine fit
mount intercooler
inter-cooler piping
exhaust shop for any modification
