Lancer 1990 Engine rehauling or swap

[sshaider188]

yes sure i will share the pics, once evry thing gets done...and yes am also sick of joints and relays in wiring.. but currently my wiring is still not in a very good shape... but m not feeling cmfrtable with current electrician so m not asking for more from him... just leting it go with what the condition is right now provided that all the requirements are working...

i hav asked my mechnic to take some rates for lights... also will go to plaza as u pointed...

one more thing.. i want some silence inside like dashboards sounds, glasses sounds, i mean get rid of noises... any good denter

[omersiddiqui5482]

Searching for the things yourself I know is time consuming and khuwari but totally worth it. Depending upon the mechanic in the other at least I don't suggest this to anyone...

Try to find lights that are either "Stanley" or TYC". TYC is easily available.

If you want to get rid of the rattling first go to your lock and windows Wala. Most probably the rubber in the doors is now a waste hence the rattling. Also check the rubber seal of the doors too.

Best of luck.

it would be rather helpful if you share the pics in current condition!

this is the current position and obviously things are looking xtra bad as it was standing there for week, so after some cleaning it will look little better.. but again some hardworking needs to be done to get more good results.... one thing i forgot to ask... seat belts... currently do not hav any seat belt setup... so. what do we need for that and from where???

regarding few areas if u can see in images... my driving side door look nut bolts get loosen and door starts stuckimg in the mid also u can notice door is out of allignment in closed position...

one pic of electricl wiring near pedals beneath steering is stil not good... but it was worst before things hanging on my feets..

two pics of frnt and back screens.shwoing the rubber postion water gets inside from there...need to do something for this.....

currently ac work going on the person saying facing throw issue so m waiting for this to get resolve

also it is told that i need to repair silencers as they are having deposits of oil. which continue thowing smoke and also the exhaust of the car will not be good hence car may didnt get a proper shoot..

[omersiddiqui5482]

This is the pic after the engine has been changed?

For exhaust (silencer) go-to jail chowrangi there are plenty of good shops there and do replace the whole exhaust from the front on the exhaust manifold to the back at the muffler.

My my you head lamps and indicators are in completely ruined.

For the seat belts and the head lamps you will need to go to shershah if you want OEM stuff at reasonable rates. You will find the seat belts that came with the car also genuine head lamps, indicators and rear lamps... The person to contact is Saeed Bhai, Gali No. 7 Shershah Market. You will also find the rubber seals of the windscreens and if available the proper condition original door cards. If the things are not with him he will tell you who has them.

Also try to find the rear metal panel under the bumper yours is completely ruined by idiot denter. Similarly the garnish on the doors should be fixed with clips behind then not stupid the screws which look hidious

Also were is the airfilter box intake extension pipe. My mechanic lost mine and I am still furious at him for this. Have you driven the car what is the performance? Also if you want to keep the car kindly take off the CNG!

last pics are of ac duct and stuff get of duct glass pieces, dust, spoon wch is expected to b blocking the air flow hoping afterwrds i will get some better ac throw.. may Allah helps me... i m currently feeling very exhausted as i think the whole m spending going into vain... as the car still stnding at same position xcept having engine chnged.... but hoping inshallah things get better

[sshaider188]

and yes this is pic after engine swaped and elwctrical wrk done like u cn see black box... not very great wrk but better thn previous

regarding ur last reply kindly clear are you talking about missile clips fir card bords abd not to use screw.. m i right?

Abhi to mohabbat ka aaghaaz hai janab abhi see thaak Gaye aap...

Sir ji buying a used car is easy, maintaining it makes you half a mechanic yourself.

Btw if I had been your AC guy I would have opened the evaporator / blower first it gets the choked most which is the reason for reduced airflow. Also check if the guy has installed proper O-rings and pressure valve in the system and if it is tripping on proper intervals or not because if it doesn't trip you will have a dead compressor at the end.

Don't give up. If you are willing to keep the car. You are almost on the right path. You should have gotten it mechanically and electrically perfect which you are doing so that's a plus. Next step after this is the suspension.

About the electrical work it can be better orade better but leave it for later...

Also I was talking about this:

These are held by clips not rivets.

thnx bro for ur guidance, looking some more input from u guys... and yes u r right old ko rkhna mushkil ha... mera waqae dil cha rha k isko bnao mgr bs wo jb kch krne k bad wahi pe khari hoti gari to phr thora dimagh ghom jata, jese aj AC ki waja se hwa... engine swap se phele b yehi hal tha ac ka or ab b... to bs us waqt ghusa aya... or han is tamam mehnat k bad finally bhai ne blower nikala or wo gye thy shafiq mor pe lene k liye... ab baqi report kal pta chale g mujhe... lakin bs aisa feel ho rha jese ac ka throw nahi ho paega or pese dob jaingy... kher ab kal dekhte han...

or ye ap ne orings or trip hone wali bat jo btai h wo smjh nhi ayi.. AC se related pheli dafa kam kra rha..kch b nhi pta.. to ye thora sa xpplain so that i can ask him in some good way

[omersiddiqui5482]

For a First Timer mere bhai this frustration is usual! nothing to worry about if you want to keep the car. Lets see if your guy fixed the blower! baat engine swap ki nahi hai. your engine looks good enough i hope it drives as good.. the problem is you haven't planned properly! AC should have been the last thing on the list!

by AC tripping i meant ke jaise aapke ghar ka AC thori cooling karne ke baad trip karta hai waise he gari ka AC bhi Trip karta hai thori thori dair per, ager na kare to compressor load lega, heat up hoga and eventually aapko naya compressor lagana parega! O-Rings are the seals of the AC system (Layman Terms)

Dont take the car to plaza they will rip you off! go there by a rickshaw or a bike! Find the Lights also you can find some after market seat belts so the Police dont interrupt you hardly 1500-2000. Your lights all eight of them should be in a budget of around 15000.

Have you searched for a good window repair guy in your area or at tariq road!

Also, For how have you owned this car? why so much dedication towards it any special reason? just asking

[sshaider188]

i bought it in 2015 oct, no there is no special reason i want it to keep, point is i dont like mehran and other suzuki stuff but a good honda and corolla are currently out of budget because i am having a wdding expnse ahead so runing out of finance for car, i hav an option to go for car loan and only i can afford after selling this and putting few into downpayment but frens suggested to make it repair and stay away frm loan, thn i visited few mechncs and ask them out of them i feel Tariq Auto point at namak bank (shafiq morr) better also some ppl recommend it, i m jus in the mid of decidimg what to do but thn suddenly self stops functioning and i got frustrated and immediately set it for swap.

still i m little bit feeling down that incase i will not be statisfied thn i will sale it and go for a loan.. the only thing i can face all probs alone.. but after wedding i dun want to have these issues...

no i hvnt search window wala currntly actually i am taking annual leaves in decmbr engine b usi me chng krane ka plan tha phr me daily shop pe beth k samne krwata kam, but abhi jald bazi me krwana pra ab ye baqi kam leaves me krwao ga

[omersiddiqui5482]

Dont go for a Loan, it is a never ending cycle! drive the old one.

drive it as is! who told you to get the AC repaired? you should have just swapped the engine and changed the lights and get on with life it would have worked!

when you bought the car in 2015 was she this bad or was in better condition!

when it is able to be driven contact me on on PM i will help you with the doors and windows! that is of-course during your annual leaves. be patient and dont hastily do things that will damage your pocket and the car later on! "Be Patient"

your car is not that bad i have seen worse examples with corolla Indus Bumper and lights and interiors (complete pieces of trash) you need to compose yourself!

These are the pics of dec 2017 after timing belt got repaired and i invest some in seat covers,mattresses , armrest ,back jumps and suspension..at that time engine didnt start giving smoke..so i was loving it...but inshllah I will make it more thn this this time..inshallah inshallah

[omersiddiqui5482]

The light currently are a lost cause. You do need to buy them new there is no other solution.

These cars are very dheet I know it by experience. And your car was not in that bad Nick I told you I have seen worse.

Khair what is the update now is it back with you and being driven again. Or still at the mechanic.

Also I would recommend you to upgrade the engine cooling system pour a good quality coolant preferably Caltex Xtended life and change the engine oil every 3000kms

[sshaider188]

surely i will follow the guidlines inshallah....latest is that today i got late from office didnt get a chance to go to mechanic so i will get it on sat inshallah.. but i called and asked for the ac update, so he told me that he was unable to get blower for this... and did something with the existing and throw is better.. but m sure there would be no improvment ..i will go and test on sat ..because dashboard was open when i left last time.. so need to check the fitting and meter connections ...i also worried about them ..because jab malik nahi hota to kam me jugar kr dete hain...
