Stagea Rs Four Engine Removal

[QVRTHS]

Hi guys

Can someone give me a 30 second rundown on how to pull the rb25 out of an RA Four stagea?

I need the engine out for body work to be done on the front end

Is it easier to take out the trans with the motor or leave it in? (I don't have to take the box out for the work being done)

Normally I'd disconnect the ecu and pull the loom thru but because of the ABS system it's a butch to pull it thru so I decided to unplug the loom at the engine end.

Basically apart from the obvious stuff (wiring, inter cooler piping etc) how do I go about pulling this thing out?

I need urgent help by the way, I'm writing this while under the car scratching my head

Remove radiator and fan if you haven't already. if you are not going to work on the engine and gearbox and have a decent hoist pull the both out together. Some will say different! If you are going to leave the box in undo the rear mounts so you can lower it to get to the top bell housing bolts. Sorry not much help - had a hard nights work and need sleep! Actually if its an auto probably too many things to disconnect so leave it in,

Hey fellow Kiwi... yeah mate its an Auto 25det... OK sweet think I'll go that way then, and leave the box in the car.... yeah I'm aware of the tilting of the engine etc to undo those top bolts... - I've had comments that re attaching the box is a nightmare? can you advise? - i.e. realigning the box etc.

It's no different to any other car alignment wise.

If I had to do this again I would be dropping the engine and gearbox, lifting the car back over it. It was a pain in the a*** doing the engine only.
