Cheers Jordan that's the bloke that i bought my bose door speak, door lock actuator and power window motor off :) Got it all for $200 express posted so i'm happy.

thanks for the heads up anyway, he bought that whole wreck for $2500 lol he'll part it out for that easy i reckon.

Made progress today. Amazing I know

After finally deciding I needed to get off my ass and start putting this engine together I stripped the block bare, cleaned all the oil gallerys out, cleaned all the journals and bores etc, cleaned the crank, Installed the oil jets, lubed the bores and deck, installed the crank and semi installed the main cradle. Also installed one of the plugs I had to install, the rear ones hard to get to and I was slack to do the restrictors lol

When I come home might even get it looking something like an engine

u must f**k around more then me callan when it comes to engine work haha i atleast do a whole bottom in 1 go :P

I can't even remember the last time your car moved under its own power :)

There was no rush on the engine around Christmas, and now work will hold me up till around the start of Feb

Will make big steps when I'm home next week anyway. Will see how far I get. after the pistons are in, the head is ready to bolt on, its all assembled and torqued up.

ordered my gearbox clutch and flywheel today, F*CK yeah finally. Spoke to deric today too at Clapson he's still keen to do the job, fingers crossed shipment only takes 5 days like the shop says it will in the US. Keeen.

Yeah nah it happened to a mate today he didn't know what to do lol told him to get all insurance info apparently the other person had no insurance so tough titties his car wasn't damaged at all being a ute and the back of her sedan had a big ding lol

I've had people not giving way correctly, not using roundabouts correctly and I think go through a red light doing the same thing as what you said Rob all beep/abuse/be gay

I hate people who sit and give way to me when they are stopping to do a reverse parrelel or angle park. No one knows this rule it seems. Car parking must always pull over and give way

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
