EDIT: nvm we unplugged the fusebox and front loom

From previous forum posts I see that people are choosing to not take the front harness (lights foggies etc.) But that connects to the fusebox which the engine loom is also connected to. So how would you remove the engine without taking it off?

It looks like we have to. But I also don't know if it's connected to the interior fuse box and how we'd get that out?

Can someone explain what harnesses we need to take with the engine for the easiest install and are there any tricks to taking off them?

Thanks

P.S I probs gonna have a few more questions so Sorry guys I'll reuse this thread :) aswell as check previous threads
 
HELPPPPPp When lifting the engine out how did you guys squeeze it out with the clutch and flywheel in the way? did you take the clutch out with it attached to the engine or transmission???
 
I took the engine and gearbox out as one unit.
Otherwise, you'll have to separate them which is a pain, needs to be a cm or two apart to unhook itself from the dowels, and then another 5-7cm before the shaft separates

So we have to take the transmission out aswell?
 
we have already disconnected the engine from the gear box. Would there be a way to angle the engine out from the clutch and gear box?
 
Tilt the engine up and the gearbox down, make sure the struts and draftshafts are unplugged.

It might also help to remove the lower control arms because they let the shafts move a bit more freely if you dont unplug them from the box.

Shafts will have to come out of the gearbox, or out of the hub, you can choose lol. I prefer the hub, but you'll need a 32mm socket.

An easy way of Out of the hub is to undo the struts, and pop em out of the hub, 32mm bolt holding the shaft to the hub.
An easy way Out of the gearbox is a couple of big, *fudge* off prybars and some leverage
 
You can leave the driveshafts attached, but you'll need to remove the hubs (and struts if you need to) with the engine
 
Oh wait you're keeping the 1.5 box yeah?

I Dunno i took mine all out as one, you'll need to fiddle to disconnect the box from engine and then again to bolt the 1.8 up again
 
Jesus, you made life hard for yourself.
You should be able to get the whole engine and gearbox out in about an hour.
We pop the drive shafts out of the cups on the gearbox and unbolt the struts at the hub to get of the way.
If you were close I would come and do it for you.
 
Me and my mates got it the hard way in about 7 hours. But the lancer wont be hard. We've got it :) thanks for the offer tho. I'm north brissy
 
Ok Both engines and gear boxes are out with the drive shafts attached to the gearbox

So now I just inspect the clutch, clean up the engine abit. I haven't got time to replace rubber seals and etc in the engine which sucks cause I gotta finish it up by tomorrow cause its my mates crane.

Then mate the 1.5 tranny to the 1.8 16v SOHC monster for those sick gear ratios and lower it into the rage? Or will the driveshafts get stuck and do I have to remove them?

For what its worth, the only difference you'll notice is first gear will top out faster (at what, 70kmh?) and 5th gear will sit at like 3000 instead of 2500 at 100kmh.

maybe stick with the 1.5 box then lmao.

It'll be easier to install the engine and box without the shafts attached, and then once its all bolted into the bay to just wack them back in, but you've gotten this far with then attached so.
