This is for those who are completing and who have completed your swaps. What do you have left to do on your car before you can "stick a fork in it" and say you are done.
Mine is: 1. recirculate BOV 2. add second magnaflow muffler 3. new tires 4. install skirts and lip 5. clear sidemarkers and tail light mod 6. repaint calipers and hubs 7. do something with my seats -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

can this include me? although not a 4 turbo,
I have into going, a 20V trueno. implant was easy, what it needs i'm crying a look and diagnosis of the doc's great wiring. So far no spark, but all else is done, stacks and a header, with suspension as one so close to running, but time I don't have, can't even run codes, so the doc can rehash, the other problem of course is cash... =[ Still needs some wheels tires and paint... along with an engine that can cause you to faint, this car will be worth my time, I suppose, especially once finished, it can finally be sold. to pay off my bills before they get old.
