simple questions: Can I do it myself over a weekend-like time frame.
I have small mechanical exp (more than most my age tho) I have the TA22 and I want to know whether or not you think an amatuer can do it myself. I am aware of a few of the things that need to be done apart from the obvious. This being upgrading the fuel pump for the EFI, modifying the accelerator linkage to cable type. And also complete the wiring of the ECU. Is there anything else involved that could trip me up?
I have an uncle who is an A grade mechanic. I wouldn't mind asking him but I want to know what is involved first.
If anyone in melb has the time to spare for me give me some much appreciated advice. And if anyone is wanting to sell something I might require then let me know, I don't mind if u bother me about selling it. Even if its an entire engine setup !
Another of my uncles has a a truck business (Tiltaway) so I can get access to all the appropriate tools from the workshop, including engine hoist.
The reason I'm investigating installing it myself is I've been quoted $1000 for the manual labour of an engine that is from what I know almost a bolt in swap. So I think the pricing is a bit steep. Whats more they wanted $500 for wiring up the EFI system and sensors. This shouldn't take more than a few hours so time for me to learn I think.
Cheers Jacob, let me know me if your qualified and want to help me out. I'm willing to pay.
