Justin Bieber Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Done Hows your's progressing, got the turbo's sorted yet? Yeah it's all back together now, got a slight starting problem, no ignition feed to the ecu after the fuse. Hopefully matey should be able to fix it this weekend and she'll put in an appearance at bluewater next week (finally!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Just had a look at the spec sheet again, Any reason you went for the 3200RPM hi stall instead of the 3800rpm hi stall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Lee recommended the 3200 RPM, just going by his advice. I did ask the same question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bailey Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Lee recommended the 3200 RPM, just going by his advice. I did ask the same question. Any reasons why? Just curious because the majority go with the 3800rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) I cant remember now tbh as it was last year, may be because of the twins, will ask him again when I'm ready to get the box. Maybe I can get a ride in kaans with his 3800 Edited April 26, 2013 by markssupra (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markssupra Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) One of the first jobs was to remove the bonnet, engine under tray and front bumper as I will be changing the fmic for Lee's SRD custom one. Bumper, headlights and front mount intercooler removed. With the bumper removed I set about getting the fmic, air con rad and coolant rad out of the car. Thinking of removing the aircon completely as there is a leak in the system somewhere, will see if it can be fixed during the rebuild. After draining all fluids, the power steering cooler, air con rad and coolant rad were removed. Before removing the engine, I thought it would be a good time to loosen the crank pulley bolt. Using some tools I made at work, I locked the crank against the chassis rail by using the bar attached to the crank pulley. Using my homemade extra long 3/4" drive extension, the bolt came undone easily. Edited May 27, 2013 by markssupra (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 Before the engine and gearbox could be removed, everything attached had to be disconnected. Exhaust was removed first, including the decat pipe. Disconnected the small earthing cable from engine to bulkhead by the heater matrix pipes. Then the heater pipes. After removing some interior trim and lifting the carpet on the passenger side, I disconnected the engine loom from the ECU. After an hour of verbal abuse, the engine loom finally emerged. Next it was time to get back under the car to disconnect the fuel line,prop shaft, auto gear shift linkage. Prop shaft unbolted from diff, centre bearing and gearbox.
