'92 BP G5MR build thread

[MONSOON]

Im no expert and someone else may say its alright. but that piece of angle iron youre using looks a little too thin for what youre trying to do and the torque it may experience. Personally Id go to 1/4" thick myself. Maybe 3/8" if itd fit OK. But thats me.

[Maxtiva]

Like monsoon said this one is going to twist (I talk from experience) an yo should use a 1/4" iron angle
Here is a pic of mine

Maxtiva, is that the mount off of the EGT or festiva?
And where did you get that metal bracket?

[BP-Festiva]

I agree with everyone else, you need to run some thicker metal, I am using 3/16th" steel and its held up to its fair amount of abuse. Im using a stock EGT mount and I got the steel from a metal supply warehouse about an hour from my house.

[David88]

Yeah its not very thick. Its what I had laying around. I make a new one.

[bobbyspider]

any pics on the egt tranny mount pics? and also why did you need the injector harness from the jy for the swap? sorry im in the verry begining stages of this swap im just taking the motor out and still have the egt so if you have any suggestions on what to keep for the swap im open. your swap looks good please take lots of pics and post em for us. -thanks

[BP-Festiva]

I used the stock festiva harness, and tossed the egt harness.

[bobbyspider]

the stock festiva injector harness?

[eurotiva]

the stock festiva injector harness?

Hey you use the whole festiva harness.

[BP-Festiva]

the stock festiva injector harness?

yes. just like it says in mattswab's write up.

[bobbyspider]

sorry i just keep checking and double and tripple checking. so take the injector harness off the bp and click in the harness from the festy. rite? does anyone have any pics of the tranny mounts they fabed for a egt tranny and maybe some pics and rundown of the hydro conversion?

[bobbyspider]

actually i as of recent keep a copy of mattswabs guide in my back pocket as embarasing as it sounds :toothy3: im just a person who learns by doing it and i need to ask lots of questions sometimes reading just makes me more confused im a visual and experience learner and im just trying to do this rite the first so i dont have to retrace all my steps later to see where i went wrong -thanks for all the help so far we'll get er dialed in

[BP-Festiva]

dont be embarrassed, I printed out the swap guide and had it ready for reference the whole time I was swapping the bp in.

[bobbyspider]

thanks bro, you know... i was thinking... at some point there wont be anymor half shafts to do this swap left. what then? also just wanted to ask again about tranny mount pics from anyone who used the stock egt tranny an maybe alittle instruction. -thanks

[eurotiva]

i was thinking... at some point there won't be anymore half shafts to do this swap left. what then?

This is true.
