theres no way on the 1 im working is is there to remove the engine lol

Im not sure what your trying to say there.

Too easy to take out. Just look behind the center console on passenger side. Thats where the ECU is, unplug the connectors. (there is a fuel relay that is bolted to the ECU if youdont have it get it). Then push it threw the hole in fire wall. It will run along the fire wall to the Battery area. Just unplug the connections on engine and fuse box ( or you can take the fuse box)

exactly, took me about 10 mins to take mine out. not too tough the connectors on mine to the ecu stuck really bad. and just cut the black tape that kind of holds the wiring to the firewall and it should come right out.

I can't wait to see this thing running down the streets around here. Kudos E2Blade. Just take care of it.
One tip, if you are going to go turbo then at least build the internals so it willsafely handle the pressure.

The BP internals are the same as the BPT just different compression pistons.
