Finally officially cool enough to have my very own swap thread. :Peace: This must be how Antonio Brown feels when he scores a touchdown.
I bought the car no transmission or engine and already had a Toyota engine hacked in there, so I naturally thought much like a few of my other vehicles, an LS swap was in order.
However, in my never ending, bordering on reckless research, I am finding that may not be the answer. I loathe vehicles that are a pita to work on.
So, now the quest (Que Holy Grail Theme Song) continues for what to put in between the fenders.
I have looked at my usual suspects...SR20DET, KA24DE, Pineapple Built Renesis, LS, Mazda 1.8, and even the F20C since I really like how Steve's came out.
I refuse to alter my steering to the point where it induces bump steer, the only change will be a manual steering rack because that electric one is Kim K sized.
Although while tearing apart this unnecessary clutter, I am really liking this chassis...to the point where I am strongly considering building multiples, track/ street car, track/street car w/ls, and a mischievous DD.
New Home - This and the next wall are coming down...sing it Mellencamp
Taking out the factory underhood relays and fuses and building my own setup in the car. Lots of things I am not going to need.
At least this time, they have a nice, detailed wiring schematic...I give them a B grade
Bought an extra instrument cluster for Can-Bus tampering.
ABS you are fired, Electric Power Steering, actually power steering altogether you are fired.
All the air bags will be gone, errr, ummm, modified. No carpets or trim other than what is pictured
My Can-Bus project...not pictured is the Shield. I will use this to convert what I can on the stock cluster to work for the new motor. Certain things like the oil pressure will get an actual aftermarket gage...the Yes/No factory gage won't cut it. Maybe a GPS module for speed instead of VSS...idk yet.
Got my power supply in and was able to power the cluster up, headers, resistors, and such for the Arduino will be here Wednesday...then start deciphering the cluster's commands and functions. Traction control, coolant, Air Bags, ABS, and the tire pressure sensors will be eliminated.
Hail Hydra!
