Feedback?

 

looks nice great job

 

good ****, especially the 99-00 front end on your 5th gen

 

Looking good.

 

thanks! i appreciate it

 

holy ****.. how did you catch that i did the front end conversion?!?!


EDIT: OHHHHH wait duh... the old motor lmao... *hangs head and walks away*

EDIT #2: *looks at his Posting Name* *looks at gun on shelf*

 

whats different about those OPTIMA or whatever batteries? ive always wondered

 

nice.
is that the motor you got from osaka a few months back?

 

they're SUPPOSED to be deep cycle batteries that give you some more power and cold cranking amps, that remains to be seen... i've heard they're amazing and i heard they're a typical battery... so I'm kinda trying it for myself...

i must say that so far im pretty happy... the car feels like its got more power to it... the lights that normally dim when the headlights go on... that doesnt happen anymore... so i dunno... so far

 

yup, its the osaka motor... here's my complaints...

TPS and IAC... broken...
Upper Radiator hose... chopped...
Balancer... rusted...

other than that, the thing was in damn good condition...

My experience with Osaka.

 

cool, is there a weight difference

 

if there's a weight difference it isnt much... i knocked off power steering, and maintained my stock A/C...

i'd say MAYBE the motors 50lbs more or something... didnt mess with my front suspension at all... but I'd have to weigh the car to be sure

 

the optima batteries use a cylindrical cell design(that is why you see the bulges on the sides of the battery)... it allows for more surface area over the plates in the battery (more amps). the cylindrical design also helps protect against vibration damage.

 

i could tell it was an eg from the drivers side engine mount. nice swap btw

 

caught me!

thanks! i love the increased performance, i used the GSR bend shifter too, and I love it.... feels like a whole new car...

btw, why "**** stage performance"?
i've never dealt with stage performance, but im curious...

 

thats a really nice lookin car. is it a jdm motor? im also thinking about doing the front conversion myself. nice nice

haha i guess i was wrong then.. but im curious as to wat ecu ur running and chip if at all?

 

Yea, It'll Be At the Meet ! Thanks! See ya there!

As for the ECU... p72 stocker... and I'm getting the knock sensor code... so I gotta check my wiring tomorrow...

If I knew where to get a p82 i believe... or a p78.... chipped for a b18c1 JDM, i heard it eliminates the knock sensor all together... but i dont know where to get one or how hard installation is...

everything else on the swap is gravy

 

looks great
