Jaylyons1 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Well that engine used cost more than the whole project! Hmmm... true... I do want to try it out though. Maybe down the road when my kids grow up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hmmm... true... I do want to try it out though. Maybe down the road when my kids grow up a bit. I bet you could just get a BP Legacy that has a 3.0 in it, and swap the 3.6 with the 3.6 ECU in and it would be mostly plug-and-play.

ehsnils Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Sounds like it needs some fine tuning to idle smoothly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, just make your own fiberglass hood. Not all that hard, if you have the time to do it right. Mold the new contour out of foam and glue it to the surface of the hood. Cover the entire upper surface with painters tape. Paint the glass mat, and lay it down. If you have a large enough flat surface, you could vacuum bag it. When cured, remove the fiberglass top. Repeat on the bottom of the hood. Epoxy aluminum lugs into the bottom of the hood where the bolts all go. Glass the two layers together, let it cure, sand it, bondo it, paint it, install it. I make it sound simple, but it's not an overly difficult process, in truth.

Aside from the spark plugs ignition cables can be a culprit too, fresh and clean cables helps. (OK, if you have directly connected coils that doesn't apply) Another issue that can cause rough idle is if the ignition is too early. Too fat mixture on idle can also cause the engine to have a rough idle. And maybe you should check out the injectors to make sure that they are matched. May pay off in the long run. Unevenly matched injectors can in worst case burn a valve. (I know that from experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 So you have the stock ECU controlling the mundane features of the car (the A/C, immobilizer, etc), but a MegaSquirt running the engine, and Megashift running the transmission? Hmm, not a bad idea!
