Terminator Swap
- Thread starter lastdeployment
- Start date
nice cant wait to see it finished Good luck
Thanks! It's coming along. Should have the engine bay cleaned up and ready to accept the engine this week sometime. New bumper support and heat exchanger should be mocked up as well.
Pics added to original post.
Engine and dash are back in. Pics updated as well on then link as well.
Updated pics in the link. Checking some electrical stuff out tonight...
Thanks Busta! Have to do some troubleshooting on the electrical stuff. Looks like there is something going on with the passenger headlight and both tails. Passenger light just barely comes on and neither of the tails are coming on.
electrical problems are not fun...i bought a totaled out sn95 termi swap last winter and i still dont have the thing pieced together...issues with IAC, intercooler pumps ect ect ect :cuss:
yours looks to be coming alone nice and smooth though! looks awesome!

Thanks. Found what I believe to be all of the electrical gremlins last night. 1 loose ground in the trunk and 1 loose ground on passenger side of core support. Headlights and tail lights are working great now. We did somehow manage to lose the amp connector for the stereo head unit though... I'm guessing it's tangled in the harness behind the dash somewhere. Just hoping the dash doesn't need to come out to get it.
very cool project, I once considered this route myself but figured it costs likely more in labor just to swap all that over than just switching to C-heads and upgrading from there and adding a blower. Very cool.
I got very lucky with the Terminator setup and the location to do the swap. I've had help the whole way getting this done...
My car has been taking up his garage and lift since December.

Good deal man. I love driving mine even though its not finished all the way.
Mine's been down for this swap off/on since November... It should be at the end of the process of mine though so I am getting excited for that moment.
I think mine is pretty close to being wrapped up as well. Once we get the IRS out, the brake lines can be riveted up in place and the fuel lines can be put it. Then it's time for some QA work to make sure the bolts are tight and everything is working correctly.
I drove mine a few days a go just to blow out some cobwebs. You are going to love it!
Its such a good feeling when people ask you who did all the work & you can answer I DID.

Jason is the one that helped correct? He has a nice setup in his garage. I hope to see your car in person at one of the MACA events if I can get my car running.
Yes, Jason is pushing me along through this. I would not have even considered doing this on my own. Having the use of his garage, time, and knowledge has been the only reason I've been able to get this far with it... It's getting close and I'm chomping at the bit to start it up.
Still thinking about some 03-04 front seats, and eventually some new wheels too.
The idea of it being a sleeper are long gone though. Between the Mac ProChamber and the Borla Stingers, she won't be quiet.
