Well there was a number of factors in my case, The seller of the engine did not sell me all the parts as promised and lied about its condition so i actually had to use alot of my old evo 8 parts which supprisingly are identical. With the exception of the rear o2 sensor plug and the transmission speed sensor plug being The only 2 plugs that didnt plug in. Its basically like just putting the same motor back in. everything else bolted right back up. I just have the ACD plugs that arent pluged in. Ohh and there are 3 plugs inside the car that i have no idea what they are for lol but the car works without them so haha yeah dunno. i think its for the acd computer.
Anyways, i got the motor and had to swap parts over, wait on the harness then i got the harness all bunk so i got depressed drank a beer , had a dream that i fixed the harness and the next day i did the same thing in my dream and it worked lol. So you can actually Leave the Big fuse box in your car and only swap the smaller fuse box that deattachs from it. "wow" yeah thats what i said and slaped myself for cause i waited 3 months with everything i needed to complete this.
So the only things that need custom work are the :
A . Rear o2 sensor plug
B. Transmission speed sensor plug
Which these might very from te 03-04 to the 05. who knows they might have changed the plugs over in the 05 so then its not extra work at all.
Ohh but to your question , from the moment i got into a wreck. its been 11 months and 15 days haha. but it was in the body shop for 2 months for fixing the damages on the front end and DAMN did they do a good job on that.
