I had a good day today tearing down everything in order to remove the engine and make way for turbo related parts.
The oil cooler will need to be relocated and the exhaust system up for sale at some point. It’s SuperCircuit headers, RRP mid-pipe and an X-Force catback.
During disassembly I noticed the passenger side gearbox driveshaft seal was weeping a little gearbox oil. As this constituted an order from Suzuki, I also go the opposite side, the OEM oil cooler o-ring, rear main seal and axle nuts.
The engine is now ready to come out, only the mounts remain. Working on the Cube and this car compared to the VR4 really makes you appreciate modern engineering and design for assembly (and disassembly). Both the ZC32S and the Cube allow the engine harness to be disconnected at the ECU, the front bolts off and the drive assembly can simply come out the front – beautiful.
