2JZ swap; Project Plan

[Satan]

I posted this on SF, so I'm sure to get some flamage there... anyways, thought ya'll would enjoy....
******************************************



Ya know, since I am an official Project Manager (yet my MKIII projects are out of control), I thought I'd share my preliminary/draft MS Project Plan. I placed it into a PDF format so ya'll won't need MS Project to see it. Pay no attention to the dates/durations, since all I've done is list some of the basic tasks/steps.

Would love some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, as well as some funnies. Cassio and I are doing our swap at about the same time, mine using the auto tranny and his using the R154.

So, we should have a great deal of DOCUMENTED steps/info to share after the swaps (his idea ;-).

Anyways, hopefully it gets ya'll thinking about some of the real planning that is necessary, for a hopefully "smooth" swap.

First off, did you have a few drinks when you made it? I found it quite hilarious actually, apart from being a very good idea (to have an itinerary, without one you spend spend spend and spend...). What radiator you using? If you remember my thread about the 2j fan and Koyo getting nuked, I just installed a stock 7m radiator, and it's working PERFECTLY. I would highly recommend that unless you had thought of that already... good luck man, if I can help out with anything lemme know.

Using stock radiator, so that I can keep the tranny cooling/lines like stock.

Yeah, there's alot more to add...

Like whining to the fiance, asking for more goodies, money... and patience ;-)

Nice, I've been ragging on mine a good bit lately, the stock radiator is proving to be quite resiliant. Water wetter, 2j fan, stock rad... Idles at 74*C all day long in traffic, with the hood up, down to 62... pretty unreal. Good luck on the swap man, I remember the days of the 1j swap and that engine harness that went around like a cheap hooker... =P
