Got some time in the garage today and got the trans mounted back in. Also ran the main tucked wire harness and got everything finalized besides the trans connections. Next will be mounting the xfer case and rear diff!!For anyone wondering. This turned out to be waaay easier than mounting the...
Finally got the trans back and it was even more built than I had originally though. Figured while I was at it though might at well throw a 300m shaft and upgraded front lsd. Now it’s as built as it could be internals wise before going dog box. Waiting on dss axles which are being built now and...
When I was living in California, I literally only had a Greddy BOV recirculated and first two shops I went to made me pop my hood and immediately told me they couldn't pass me. Third shop didn't even pop the hood and simply plugged it in. My experience is that it just depends on what shop does...
You may want to partner with @EC17PSE since he produces an aftermarket version of the mount and may know the difference between the awd/fwd rear mount bolt.
No one has said it yet, but likely they are never going to set since you have an AEM sensor most likely in the O2 monitor location, and previous owner probably deleted all the evap/EGR system stuff. If he left all the sensors plugged in, MAYBE it could set on its own, but not sure how the...
If you REALLY don't want to take it back off again, for now you could stop drill the crack and then jbweld it. This is only temporary though and should be welded as soon as you can after.
So its neither. I actually originally sent it to Tim because I was afraid it did have a welded center diff, which is opposite of my build plans. When he got it opened up it turns out the center diff is a super old school Kaaz center diff that is a clutch type. Apparently it is super rare even...
So major update on the build, some very good, some very bad haha. I will start with the bad, or just pain in the ass I guess..Had to pull the motor again to fix a scratch we made hanging the engine. Way easier to pull second time around and got the scratch sanded/prepped for paint.Also...
Turns out it was AMAZING news. It truly is a built trans and even has the ultra rare Kaaz center clutch type diff. Evo3 rails and gears and tons of other goodies. I did go ahead and get a Quaife front diff installed as well as the boosting 300m output shaft too. So now I should have full lock up...
Most people route it down under the subframe area or actually disconnect it at the rear near the tank and have it vented there. Just do not leave it as is if you have the battery in the oem location and just in general actually as there will be constant fumes coming from it while running.
Just the man I had questions for then lol.. check your PMs.Turns out this trans is not the one he sold to Rob. Different ratio.. was hoping to get more info on it but it is not his. @twicks69 is going to go through this one and get me all sorted out though.
Made more progress with the engine bay harness. Takes a lot of work to get everything to correct length and location. Put it in the car, measure one thing, take it out… alter, put it in the car… rinse and repeat. But almost done and can loom everything maybe next week. Added the Hobbs switch and...
It’s actually surprisingly easy to do. Now I say that since a lot of my engine bay is wide open but to me the hardest part would be getting the starter off/disconnected and then the freaking axle on the passenger side gave me so much grief coming out.Pro tip lol: tape a rag or towel to the...
Oh trust me, I didn’t want to pull it lol. Long story I am going to post soon but had a mix up with the xfer case and diff being built by Tim Zimmer and now have to ship the trans to him too.
So this had to happen over last week.. out with the newly mounted trans. So happy about it lol..Did get the driver side fuel finished up and closed. Almost done with the passenger side..
That is because you are correct, they never came in ALL black. They "blue" is still grey and a third color is like a beige/tan for the headliner and visors with the plastics too.For the OP, people have had VERY good success using dyerite for both the carpet and the plastics. The plastics you...
Autozone has a fluid transfer pump that goes on the top of all the fluid bottle and a tube that goes into the fill port. Super easy and easy to clean...
Soooo true. It goes freaking EVERYWHERE. Even with the plastic up and everything, it still ended up in the cabin somehow hahaha. Glad it is the last of the sealer I have to deal with. every 10mins of grinding it off, is 30mins of cleaning.Hahahaha well, still time for all that to happen...
Sucked it up and finally stripped all the oem seam sealer in the rear. I have been avoiding this and honestly, I’m glad it’s over lol. Now for new sealer and then paint soon.
Reach out to Kenny Klein or Ricky at RixRacing. They are very well known for doing remote tunes if you do not find someone local that will help you out.
Well, she finally has a heart! Got everything hung this past Sunday and went without anything crazy happening. Going to get the fuel system finished up in my weekend and then hopefully start wiring next!
Honestly, just sheer luck and happened to know the right person and the right time that found it. Gave me a call and of course I said whatever it takes I will buy it haha. Feel kind of bad actually installing it since it's such a rare find, but things must move forward lol.
Well, finally getting around to installing the engine and trans. Scooped up a 0mile shep built trans from back in the day that has sat on a shelf in the original bag for years and years. Got everything mounted on it and ready to get everything hung hopefully Sunday. More to come..
If it’s Gabe Ortega, then those are the videos I used for this mod as well. He’s pretty detailed with everything, I just have a VERY hard time listening to him say “More or Less” and “Pretty much” every other sentence lol. Especially when he would say it for measurements and details that need to...
Finally finished the Prius electric power steering mod for the 2g dsm and have to say, the lower part is the hardest part for sure. The little mini u-joints to connect the dsm yolk to the Prius section is a HUGE pain in the ass. But it’s done and one more huge thing checked off the list. If...
Yes, you have to connect it to a manual or de-powered rack to make this work. What some do is loop the lines and there are how to's out there on how to do both options. I chose to go with a completely de-powered rack and I believe FIBA motorsports is currently running a group buy on them. Check...
I have been very detailed on the entire re-build in two restorations. Take a look through my one currently being done and another on @PLDSM , a silver 2GB. If you have any questions let me know.
Here is the final upper section completed. I still have to mod the steering output to the rack side and honestly kind of avoiding it lol. I don’t like messing with the caps for the joints.Steering shafts welded and then coat of primer put over it. I took some sheet metal I had here to weld...
I honestly have no idea at all. The thing with the conversion is that you have to hybridize the Tesla motor/shaft with the mitsu upper. So as long as you can get the lower motor modded so the lower mount bracket can go onto it, the upper should be very similar to how the 2G upper gets modded...
Oh absolutely.. he knowns how anal I am about everything and how I spent 30mins with rulers and levels to make sure it was spot on LOL… so yeah. He also knows just mentioning it freaked me out and made me go look at it again. So he wins this one.. hahaha.
Finally got around to getting the hood pins finalized. Tried to use the quik-latch but ultimately it would not work. Switched to the aero-catch and although the footprint of the latch is larger, it’s waaaaay more secure and that’s really the goal.Here is the final set..More to...
Now that the engine is wrapped up as far as timing and degrees I am waiting on a clutch and then I can hopefully hang the engine/trans in the bay in two weeks. BUT, also working on the steering and almost finished with the hardest part of it, and hopefully welding the shafts tonight after work...
