    Should I pull the motor....

    So I've been collecting all of my parts for my 2.7i swap, and eventually going to go boost.

    In the next few months I plan to have the 2.7i swap completely done and the turbo in the works. This means I will be swapping the head, wiring harness, timing wheel, harness, exhaust, intake manifold...a lot. And I'm going to changing the oil pan for a pan with a drain plug. I figure if I am going to have my oil pan I should just pull the motor and transmission as a unit. This would just result in my putting a "cap" on the drain fitting.

    Makes doing a lot of things a lot easier I think. Partly, I am currently on a stock (very good condition) clutch - but stock. As I understand it, the stock clutch is only solid to about 225-250whp so it seems that will likely need to be replaced as well...

    Thoughts?

    If it were me I'd pull the whole thing and clean/replace everything that's needed.

    It all depends on your time and budget.

      That's more or less what I am thinking. My steering rack is a little loss, and I will probably do it at the same time.

      Time isnt an issue as I can drive the TI.

      Funds on the other hand, my fiance is going rack me if she sees how much the 2.7i swap, megasquirt and the few turbo parts I've bought cost. And I'm thinking about an e36 rack upgrade in the process.
