If only I had cams........... and 7500rpm.

 

Nice IACV piping

 

Can you list your setup or is there a thread that has been started on it already???

 

that is awesome!

 

wow now thats an achievement

 

Congrats on the swap and getting it to work with the 95 ECU. Are you gonna send it to JWT or tune it with something else? What plans are in store for this car? NA build or FI?

I don't understand why some people have such bad traction issues. Granted, right now my car is pretty close to stock (no nitrous yet), but I've driven a SC'ed 96 5 speed that traps as like 111 mph, and I didn't really have any tractions issues, even in first gear. All my traction issues went away with the PR motor mounts. Might want to look into fabbing up some poly mounts for your cars. They made a huge difference in my boring car.

And BTW, why dyno? It will just look like a normal 2k2 dyno (aside from differences from the ECU/furl rail etc).

 

I have a 95 GLE 5spd, 180k miles, I/Y/E/P, and even with heavy 18's I can't seem to get traction in 1st either. I can't imagine a 3.5 liter. Maybe its time for an LSD.


OT: I just noticed that my sig pic goes well with my status under my username. Pretty wierd!!!

 

I have some questions:
Why did you use 95 ECU? Would it work with 97 or 2002 ECU?
Did you have to splice harness?

 

You'll need them

 

..........

 

would the 2k1 manifold fit on that 3.5top? would that make any gains,
But yeah I hate your creation, cause its simply beautiful

 

I think the 00VI would be more restrictive than the stock 3.5 IM

 

Well its still running good and i spanked a new mustang bad

 

Honostly Rob how would you compare the Hybrid to full 3.5 swap as far as butt dyno..???

 

when you pluged in the ecu did you have to swap any pins to get it to work or was it just plug and play..

 

I would say either way is good but full 3.5 is the way to go but you need to do twice as much to make it happen.

 

I knew you were going to say that.

 

Tilley, do you think the difference is pretty steady along the powerband or is more low end than top or vise versa?

As for traction, would you consider PR motor mounts? I'm thinking about ordering 'em.

 

Get the PRs i got em. it has more topend power with the full motor.

 

ARP rod bolts are going in now

 

write up time tilley, I COMMAND YOU!

 

I dont have time on a write up this extensive.

 

nice work tilley.

 

Your car makes me moist.

 

I wanna see the dyno #s on this beast

 

so what about

e-gas?
gauge cluster? speed sensor?
maf sensor from 4th gen?
and it pulls to 135 mph? whats so special about that?
and what other cel you got?

 

pulls to 135mph as in alot faster than most.

 

Is English your second language? He's been over this a dozen times already.

 

awsome news i bet its a beast

 

he is using a 4th gen ecu and wire harness to run his VQ3.5

 

one CEL is cause the egr isnt hooked up other is cause i have a 95 ecu in a 97 and its a O2 sensor cel.

 

amazing tilley, congrats...if my engine issue happened only a good month later, i would have been much happier than i am now

 

no ****. i understood that already. but there is the engine harness which is for the engine. the engine harness directly plugs into the ecu which in his case is the 4th gen. but there is another harness for the gauge cluster and the e-gas pedal and the speed sensor which runs off the abs unit/abs sensors. what did you do about those? everything else work in the car? you still using the bcm?

 

vsamoylov-so you used the 3.5 ecu, correct? hows that goin for you? do you have the vtc? ever dyno or go to the track?

 

Everything works great i had to swap some stuff around and use a 4th gen wiring harness. If you read around the all motor forum its all explained in there.

 

thanks, i just thought that this was the first thread about this swap.

and yes i did use the 3.5 ecu. the vtc works. i didnt hit the track or the dyno yet but i am planning on going january 8th with a guy from the org. i just hope the weather holds up here in cali.

 

Do you have a cell? is the VI working? How did you get around all the accessories that the 2k2 has compared to the 97?

 

thats a low 14's car n/a

 

???? i alrady ran with les power and did a 13.87

 

Mid 13s street tires, perhaps?
