Another 3.5 swap complete in South Florida
Upon initial startup, it wouldn't start. I bumped up the fuel pressure and adjusted the idle and it fired right up. I just got to drive the car around last night. The only problems I've encountered so far is an exhaust leak (front header gasket, I assume) and the a/c-alternator belt decided that it was going to hop off, but that was my fault. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that I'm the first person to install a 6th gen (04) motor on a 4th gen. Once I get the minor bugs worked out, and get an alignment, I'll be heading to the track. Pics to come once I get the wiring situated properly.
EDIT: Here are the pics...

No it's going to be tuned by the EU. I need to do research first, and figure out how they work, learn how to tune, etc. I've never tuned a car before so it's going to be all new to me. I'm expecting to get the EU in the next few months.

Not in my book.
Add a VAFCII to it and then I will approve.

It's been hard for me to watch all the 3.5 swaps going on and not be able to do my own yet. Hopefully next spring, that's the plan at this point.

It's unfortunate but true; most of these swaps have left a lot on the table IMHO.

BTW, I got the revlimit to work in neutral but not in gear
