Suzuki D-TEC II swap

You guys think I'm going to need an aftermarket speedometer, the engine could reach 140 in the Reno, and my aveo is close to 600 pounds lighter.

That is one ing car.

I wouldn't bother changing the speedo unless you're planning on tracking the car. When is the last time you went over 100 mph?

Well, I was thinking that I don't want to be going 80 when my speedo reads 60.

I have yet to remove the engine from Skittle for a few reasons;
- I'm skeptical on what to do with the air conditioning, it's in the way and the pump is heavy. I'm scared of breaking the line and releasing the gases. Does anyone know of a place where they rent the removal tools out?
- School got in the way
- I recently sprained my wrist, it still hurts like an SoB when I apply pressure.
- I do not have the engine jack/crane yet

You cannot evacuate the a/c system yourself. You'll have to get someone that is licensed to do it.

Damn, that means that I have to get the car out and take it somewhere.

I'd just remove the pump and rig up something to hold it in place. Some wood scraps and wire usually works pretty good. Done that a few times.

+1 to Daox, just wire it off out of the way, until you figure out a way to either mount it to the new engine/block, or can drive it to a shop with an evac unit. You may wind up needing to fabricate lines to fit the compressor on the donor motor if it uses a different type/model.

Have yet to make any progress, haven't even gone into the Suzuki since Sunday. Main reason, my girlfriend has been super close to her cousin since she was young, he now has brain cancer. She lives 45 miles away, broke her phone, and only has an ipod to talk to me. She's extremely depressed, and I need to be there for her whenever she gets on Kik.

I will be finishing off the Aveo engine before Monday, just don't expect much for the next few weeks.
