project LOTS OF WORK, 4door r32

[s15_spec_r]

just a small update,
got my walbro 255 during the week,


and i got bored today so i thought id do a bit of stripping,
got all the interior out from the front make it easier for us to get the loom out when we go at it


should be starting on the conversion monday or tuesday next week, hopefully have it finished by the weekend, (fingers crossed)

why the hell are you taking the loom out you wont need to change it iirc??open to correction but all I think is you need to use the engine management part of the loom for ecu??

Auto to manual- better off doing the lot as you'v access to the manni dash loom and clocks, keep up the good work lad

i tried searchin online for an info on adapting the loom but couldnt find anything, so since i had the two full cars i thought it would be easiest to swap everything over, didnt know if part of the auto loom would bring up faults when the manual loom was put together, not a whole lot of work, so played it safe

nice build lad best of luck with it

When putting in the fuel pump best to run a direct feed to it and have it switched through a relay using your ignition feed.did you get the 255 high pressure or low pressure can't remember the part numbers for the high pressure.

update time,
i dropped the donar car off at waytoofastforu's gaff on sunday eve after i got back from mondello,
on monday we got a the fmic stripped the loom pulled into the engine bay and most of the ancilleries detatched,
so today we went back at it and got alot of bits out,
we removed the engine and box,loom,diff, propshaft, halfshafts, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder and clutch line, also took out the brake master cylinder and lines, the donar car had no abs so thats why im using that,
the worst bit was the hicas shite being in the way and oozing fluid all over tha gaff,
also got the boost controller and turbo timer removed,




now we just have to remove everything from the 4door and begin refitting.
STAY TUNED

tis time i did a bit of an update on this,
we got the engine and box refiitted to the 4door late last week,

it all went without a hitch, gearbox mount just needed a lil pursuading to line up perfectly, also had to change the powersteering pump as the manual engine had an extra outlet for the hicas,
i got a steel braided line made up for the clutch,
also got the walbro pump fitted and is whizzing like a dream,
got the rear 5stud hubs and brakes fitted,
also fitted the rear strut brace.


also got the front brakes,hubs and coilovers all round fitted



the exhaust from the 2door fitted perfect also,


also got all new joiners for the FMIC piping, so after i drilled the holes for the piping we fitted the intercooler and trimmed the bumper bar,
also took a tin of nitromors to the HKS that was sprayed onto it,


got a another turbo for it yesterday so we fitted that today,

we went to start it the other day and it wouldnt even turn over, had power to all the interior electrics but nothing happening at all in the engine bay,
so obviously it wasnt enough just changing the engine side loom,
so we stripped the interior loom out today, im picking up the manual interior loom tomorrow so hopefully we get that refitted in no time, and we will be ready to see if she starts

all we hav left to do it bleed the brakes,bleed the clutch and refit the gearlever and change engine oil and filter,

hopefully she will be ready and mapped for march
