i dont see the 'performance upgrade' all i see is some bling bling...
the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.

Oh... heh... my bad. Looked like a serious post to me...

"Looks who's slow now!!!!11 BUAHAHAHAAA!!! PWN3D!!!!11one"


It took me almost exactly two months working two days a weeks, so about 16 days. Actually more like 18 all said and done.

The major obstacles in this swap were the fact that we got the wrong ECU with the engine, and that took a while to figure out (probably added an entire two weeks to the swap). Then we also forgot to get the GT mounts, so the front and rear mounts on this car are custom parts. Then we found out that we didn't order enough intercooler piping, so that slowed us down a bit. Typical stuff, all in all it went quite well, but it could have gone a lot smoother.

Yeap I fixed it, just a matter of a wire giving me some trouble. The hardest part of clocking the turbo is getting the angle right and then making a bracket that will hold the wastegate at the right angle and distance from the actuator.

Out of the blue, but what happened to the old engine and parts?

#23
start to finsish how much is the final price tag on this thing(including everything from labor to parts to extra parts etc.. I know you had to swap auto tranny and all too. I was looking at doing the same. already have tweak's business card and all.

also tweak do you have "do express install option?" cause 2 months wait would be a bit too much for me....

the old engine and auto trans is still in the docs garage sitting there. had 72k miles on it when i left it there. would be a great 7age project..! >biggrin.gif>

the labor cost wasnt expensive...but everything else was. from engine to trans to auto-manual parts to fmic and the piping and everything else (i have an entire long long list) everything comes to around $6500. i dunno maybe even more...havent checked..lol

k, is it just me or did anyone else notice that the turbo is facing down? Everyone that i have seen including mine is facing up. Thats why the piping looks kind wierd/ugly. But i like the way its set up here? Was that difficult? Then the way the AFM is position, is it really getting any air? does it affect it facing the firewall?
