My brother who im sure was a member here, owed this 92 GS. He had the 1.8 to 2.5 Swap done. He lost interest in the project and discontinued the project and it became a fixture in the field out back of the house.
Now years later (almost 8 to be exact), Myself, a Probe/MX6 Fanatic who has had both DE and ZE engines in both the Probe GT and my MX6 LS, has decided to pick up where he left off.
The car when i picked it up this past weekend looked better than i though. Paint is as i imagined. Gone. lol.
Engine, besides the rats nest i had to clean out, wasn't to bad.
After further inspection, and cleaning everything out i ran across a few things.
1 - The harness isn't as bad as we thought. Only chewed up the temp sensor wires. Though if i want to remove the alarm system which i do, it would be good to replace the harness. But replacing the whole thing would be a pain in the a--.

2 - Guessing the Disty Cap wires were cut for the MSD Ignition.

3 - All of the 8.5mm Plug wires were chewed though. Will just replace those along with the MSD coil wire to the PRD Disty Cap.

4 - Battery was relocated to the Hatch. Though getting lower voltage causing the fuel pump to not work. Im guessing a bad ground. Though i am keeping it in the back, im running new ground to the Frame, and not to the Seat bracket he had it grounded to. Also going to run a ground from the engine to the frame to ensure a proper ground. Thinking of ordering a whole new grounding kit, like we used to have for the probes when they had bulk buys going on years ago.
5 - I need to get a better intake for this set up. I need to find a aluminum TB Boot, and find a TB Boot to VAF that will go where the battery was located. His boot is the old rubber stock one that's ripped all to hell.
6 - Other than above things, i think i just need to find someone to do the electrical work, and get someone to do other engine work if any is needed and i think it will crank and run.
