good day po mga masters.

ask ko lang po regarding sa aking corolla '92 GLi all power. nagbabago po ang menor kahit di ko tinatapakan ang accelerator. medyo matakaw sa gas lalo na pag trafic. naka racing muffler pa naman ako kaya medyo maingay kapag tumataas ang menor.

-Do’s and don’ts in buying a surplus engines-

YOU HAVE an old car, like an A31 RWD Cefiro, a beat-up Honda Civic EG hatchback or an LXi EK sedan, a B13 or B14 Nissan Sentra, an AE92 or AE101 Toyota Corolla, maybe a Mitsubishi Galant or Lancer that’s gathering dust faster than you can drive it. You can sell it and hope the amount is worth a down payment for your next car. Or if you’re like me, and thousands of enthusiasts out there, you can give your old car a second lease on life by swapping in a different engine, preferably a more powerful, high-performance engine that makes your old car enjoyable and exciting again to drive. Surfing the ’net, talking to car clubs that cater to your vehicle type and reading popular car-tuning magazines will give you an idea of what engine you can install in your car. It’s not something new, but it’s only now gaining attention in the mainstream. Here are some tips to consider when buying a surplus engine to transplant into your car.

1 Make sure the importation papers, clearances and the seller’s license are complete.

The seller must present complete documentation for your engine, and must be a licensed importer and reseller of surplus engines from Department of Trade and Industry and Land Transportation Office. Otherwise, you won’t be able to register your car with its new engine.

2 Make sure the engine is in decent shape.

Open the oil filler cap, and inspect it underneath. If there are solid oil formations or crud underneath, that’s a bad sign that the previous owner didn’t change oil regularly. Check the coolant water-necks. Rust and corrosion marks mean the previous owner didn’t use the correct distilled water and coolant mix, or the engine’s been sitting in the yard, exposed to the elements. Inspect the cylinder head cover, the main engine oil crankshaft pulley and oil pan for oil leaks to give you an idea of what you need to repair/replace. Also, make sure the oil pan is not deformed.

3 Make sure the engine assembly is complete.

A typical surplus engine package should include the engine, alternator, a/c compressor, transmission, instrument gauge cluster, engine-control unit (ECU) and a complete, uncut, unclipped, non-frayed wiring harness. Pay particular attention to the condition of the harness and the ECU. If both are corroded, frayed or look damaged, ask for another engine set, or for the seller to replace the ECU and wiring harness. Lastly, make sure the wiring harness plugs onto the ECU, and that the ECU is the correct one for the engine. Research on the ’net for the correct part number of the ECU that matches your engine. If parts like the a/c compressor, alternator and transmission are missing, ask for a bigger discount on the price. But don’t get an engine without an ECU and wiring harness, it will be difficult to source them separately unless you have a ready source for it.

4 Prepare to replace some parts regardless of engine condition.

Once you install the engine into your car, you’ll need to absolutely change consumables such as:

a.) Engine oil

b.) Engine oil filter

c.) Fuel filter

d.) Air filter

e.) Spark plugs

f.) Engine coolant

You’ll probably need to run an engine flushing chemical for the coolant and oil so you get rid of all the rust in the coolant passages and oil lines. Motul sells a good engine oil flush chemical. Another way is to run a semi-synthetic or full mineral diesel engine oil high in detergents to clean out the engine’s innards for 2-4 hours worth of use. To do a really thorough job, remove the oil pan, clean it as well as the oil pick-up thoroughly and replace the oil pan gasket.

There are other parts needing to be replaced regardless of condition and these are:

a.) Water pump and gasket

b.) Coolant thermostat

c.) Valve stem seals

d.) Radiator hoses

e.) All clips, clamps and rusted screws

f.) All belts (timing belt, accessories belt, serpentine belt, etc.)

g.) All belt tensioners and bearings

h.) Main engine crankshaft seals

i.) Camshaft seals

j.) Ignition cables

k.) Oxygen sensor/s

l.) Fan clutch mechanism (if your engine uses a mechanical clutch-type cooling fan)

These are the parts that usually fail or get damaged once a surplus engine is installed and started up since these are old or have been exposed to the elements when sitting in storage for a long time. If you don’t change these parts, your engine can overheat, run overly rich, idle improperly and run poorly overall. Prolonged use will cause serious damage to your engine, increasing your cost, hassle and blood pressure.

5 Before embarking on your automotive adventure, look for a specialist shop knowledgeable in the engine and vehicle swap you plan to do.

A good shop can install the engine professionally and can advise you on where to buy your engine and other parts, or provide it for you themselves. They will also have a complete manual and wire harness diagram so that on the electrical side, you’re covered completely.

When looking for a place to buy surplus engines, the popular places to search are in Banawe St. in Quezon City, Evangelista St. in Pasay-Makati Boundary, Marcos Highway along Cainta-Antipolo, Ortigas Extension between Pasig and Cainta and Aguinaldo Highway just off Bacoor leading to Dasmariñas, Cavite. Surplus shops line these streets, so take your time, bring a friend and look around.

Lastly, don’t be cheap. Change the small parts and consumables that need to be changed, get it done right the first time, and drive it carefully once your car is up and running for a short period of time to check and observe your car’s behavior. Once everything checks out, enjoy your car in good health!

I think nagiistuck up ung cable ng menor mo sir. try replacing it sir.

nagpalit na po ako ng bagong acceleratoe cable, pati na rin high tension wire ay pinalitan ko narin pero ganun parin. kahit di ko tapakan ang accelerator ay kusang tumataas ang menor pero bumabalik din naman sa dati. may time pa nga kc nga naka racing muffler ako, pag arangkada ko ay medyo binibirit ko ng konti paramarinig yung malakas na tunog ng tambutso. ang kaso ay kapag nag menor ako eh ang lakas ng tunog ng makina saka sobra taas ng menor ng kotse ko. it takes cguro mga 20 minutes or more saka ulit baba ang menor. kaya kahit nakahinto eh maririnig mo tlga yung malakas na ingay ng makina at tambutso.

medyo wala pa kc akong time dalhin sa mekaniko eh... kaya ask muna ako sa mga masters dito.
