I see an LS1 going in there.
That actually almost happened to my BMW 328, but the parts list would have been arround 10 grand. If I had fabrication knowledge & tools that prive would have come down closer to 6 grand & it would be done. That car is my next project. Gotta get it running, do the body/paint work & get it sold so Iz can haz BBK :D

Made alittle progress today. Removed all the mounts & bungs I wont be reusing from the manifold. Packed it up & sent it out to MAP for porting. I still need to doo alot more grinding & sanding to smooth it out & make it purdy. Here's a teaser of what it looks like at this point. I'm removing the FPR solenoid, EGR valve, & evap solenoid. as well as the unwanted mounts to clean up the look of the stock intake.

Just noticed my first post in this thread was 4-4-09 & today is 7-4-09. It took me 3 full months to get my motor back. & to think this was supposed to be a quick swap. Pull my motor out one weekend, swap, & then put the new one back in the next weekend. We see how well that werked.

i would de-stroke your motor and make it into a 1.6L then get rid of mivec and put a good ol' vtec with vtec cams in.
then remove your driveshaft.
oh and turbo? who needs it when you have vtec??
shunderwunder
07-05-2009, 12:28 PM
And now things are on hold again. I got sent an 8 headgasket instead of a 9 head gasket. Wish I had realized that before I put the head on last night. :( Oh well, I knew there would be some hiccups on then reinstall & I'm sure there will be plenty of little things I'll need to get that I'm not thinking of. Atleast the big stuff is done.

I wanted to coat it just regular silver but all I had was cast aluminum (dull grreyish silver) & reflective chrome powder. I chose this one because I wanted it to pop a little.

Got the correct head gasket Friday & got back to making progress today after werk with a friend. Things go way too slow when it's been 3 months since you pull stuff apart. But after a long after noon the motor is in the car. Not much else is done yet cause it's after 1:00am & all we did ids get the motor & tranny in & bolted to the 2 outer mounts then called it a day. Sould get most of the little stuff buttoned up tomorrow

I like the look of the VC & plug cover finally but I do miss the Kandy Red. I'll most likely go back to that one day down the road. For now this will werk & it's gonna stay like this atleast untill I get her running again. The funny thing is that I'm not usually a fan of chrome. Hell on my last car I got rid of as much chrome & silver as I could.

I cant wait until you get this beast on the road. Ive been doing some research and I dont think you will have a problem reaching 500whp. Its hard to deny the fact that this may be the BEST overall value between the HTA Green and BBK Full. I mean its like 450 to 500 cheaper and you dont need a core.

Got most of the small stuff on that can go on before the turbo. Tracking number shows that the turbo will be here Saturday. I had a buddy help me extend my wiring harness so I could run it under the intake to clean things up a bit. I may have gone overboard with the SS lines but since I was already doing fuel lines, I went ahead & did my vacuum lines & catch can lines with SS braided lines too. I also replaced a lot of hardware with SS screws to complete the look. Heres afew more pics of what I've got now.

Cool. I've got the voltage references for the 5 bar ... just got to sort out how it relates to ECUFlash.

08-14-2009, 04:31 PM
Here's the map scalings I was talking about. They are in post #2. Looks like they are specific to the SD patch but maybe they will help. By the way go ahead and set me up for the 5 bar sensor. I plan to go ahead and order one today. I don't wanna mess with swapping it out later and I'll be close to maxing out the 3 bar with e85 anyway.

Thanx. I like to think I have good taste with how to modify things. Some of my ieads are not for everyone. I did a custom paint job on my sister in laws mustang a while back with lime green wheels that we loved but a lot of people didn't care for it. I only aim to please myself and whoevers car I'm working on. Funny thing is I'll probrobly change things up a bit on down the road cause I always want something diffrent.

Test drove it over to my brothers house. Needs clutch adjustment, steering wheel centered, and the tune dialed in but it's running fine. I'll get some pics and and maybe a vid up tomorrow for you guyz.

Glad to hear that the base tune is working. Let me know if it needs tweaks.
shunderwunder
08-23-2009, 07:50 PM
It starts up and idles fine but the tune is definately a bit off. I'm getting the knock CEL at very low boost & the car will cut off sometimes when coming to a stop. It's running good enough for me to do some light driving, but as soon as I can get a Tactrix cable to play with I can get you some logs to see if we can dial it in a little better. I'm sure one of the biggest isses issues is the Maf-t Pro settings.
TouringBubble
08-23-2009, 09:19 PM
Yeah, the MAF-T is definitely off, and probably even more so with the VE change of the 2.3. I'm sure we can iron it out though to get you to FL.

NEW PICS ! I changed my mind on the Valve Cover color once again. I'm sure by the time I'm done with it that it will end up Lambo Orange. I'm trying not to go that route cause it's been done, but I'm starting to think it may be the best color option for my car. The blue looks killer in the engine bay but doesn't really go with the Red brakes & amber lights. I guess we'll see. I f I keep this color I'll prolly do the calipers the same color. Anyway here are the pics.

As much as like blue on everything, I would have to say lambo orange is a great color on a black IX, however that would mean gunmetal-like coat on mani & etc.: Whats the name of this blue color(I might just steal it from you if you're going L. orange)?

Well I decided that although I loved the blue, it didn't match anything on the car. I went ahead & painted it Lamborghini orange. I think this color best suits the car & I may do the calipers to match one day.

I'll prolly do the calipers one day. The car is running on a tune just good enough to roll arround on so I aint gonna have vids for a while. I need a Tactrix so I can get some logs to help dial my tune in. I'm way past broke at the moment, but should have some cash flowing in soon so I can finish everything up & get dyno tuned. By the way I'm not a mod so please don't ban me cause I can't unban myself. ;)

It's been sitting. I did the trans svc, adjusted the clutch pedal & drove it to Taco Hell Friday. I gotta do a little more adjustment cause it's too low now, but much better. I'll drive it more now that it's drivable again (valve cover back on ;) ).
