TheTurtleshead Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks Its quite worrying actually knowing ive got all these parts now and no nuts and bolts to fix it all the external parts together Seems a bit extreme buying a whole engine just for the fasteners lol. Buy an n/a Lump, they share a fair proportion of the same fasteners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks to Keron ive now got a spare stock autobox and torque converter I will be fitting tomorrow night after training then I can hopefully fire her up after nearly 5 months. I have the Titan built box sat in the garage at the moment but im waiting on the high stall torque converter but tbh I will probably keep the stage 2 built box as a spare or maybe sell it. Once the stock box is fitted I will need to take it to Ryan again so he can limit the torque during shifts as its turned up at the moment from when the Titan box was installed. If all goes well and I solve the starting issue I might pop up to Bluewater meet this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Well done Kahn A lesser man would of quit ages/many £££'s ago. Awesome news, look forward to hopefully seeing you at bluewater dude Cheers guys For a small update I have spent all afternoon putting the spare stock transmission I got from Keron on and been out for a little drive and all seems ok so far. I can now get overdrive also that I couldnt get before with the Titan box so thats good. There is a few little problems though one being its not down shifting when I plant the accelerator, all normal gear changing is fine though and all gears work. Any ideas what that could be? Secondly after some normal driving I stopped a couple of times and the oem temp gauge went into red, but once moving again it slowly went back down. Im still on the viscous fan so could it be on its way out? Thirdly, I still have the Syvecs Toucan screen telling me oil temp is 90, water temp is 100, EGT is 900 and TPS is 0 from start up and showing constantly, a few more of the readings may be incorrect also but im not sure. Im sure Ryan G will know but I cant get hold of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Think ryan is in russia doing some porsche work etc.. hoping you can make bluewater as id love to see this beast Ah that might be why I cant get in touch. I am debating coming Bluewater I'm still a bit cautious to drive it incase something goes wrong, when I had the build box Ryan turned the torque back up during shift points but now I'm on the stock box it might kill it. Would love to come Friday though I'll see how it drives for now then make my mind up mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 I guess it's about time I updated this...... The spare long block and big box of goodies I had for the 3.4 conversion is in the good hands of Lee at SRD now and will be built up over the following months. Taking a little trip up there yesterday and having a chat about everything I feel there is no one else better for the job and am very pleased it's being done by them I know Lee will be kind enough to grab some pictures of progress so I will update as each step goes. That's all for now until I get an update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
