The first thing i wanted to do was remove the engine and gearbox so i spent most of a Saturday removing parts like the radiator,hoses,alternator,starter motor, and loosening the bolts for the bell housing and engine/gearbox mounts and took out the front propeller shaft and left/right drive shafts. the next day i separated the release bearing from the clutch and took out the engine using my older brothers engine crane that he used for his 68 camaro.

so out came the Engine

Yeah im not too worried about the money its just that im paying two car loans and a lot of other small debts at the moment. The good thing is both car loans will both be paid 1 month apart from each other. Just a matter of me prioritising what's more important at the moment

Just this weekend i removed some of the sound deadener off of the floor of the car I've done where the back seats go and some of the driveline tunnel and im yet to do in front of the front seats which im gonna hopefully do next weekend post-73141-13798408287662_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408409214_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408523256_thumb.jpgpost-73141-1379840864621_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408779595_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408894868_thumb.jpgpost-73141-13798408994569_thumb.jpg

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
