For those of you that are wondering what she looks like. This is my beautiful gf:









So yea....I agree that I better finish this dang conversion before she PWNS/LEAVES me and my sorry self lol. I'll be back later...

Whoa LOl! That is sooo funny. The only way you're going to finish bro is to sneak out in the middle of the night to the garage . Better that than sleeping alone and hanging with the fellas anytime ya want huh .

[Mr.3000]

Hahaha yea we don't live together cuz we're not married yet (We're Christians and thus waiting for marriage for those goodies lol). Yea we've been together for 3 years now and hopefully getting married soon. We just have a few things to work out first though. Well onto the update:

UPDATE 29 (8/30/07)

Well it has been a funky last couple weeks. Ever since that ypipe blew off, it has been one thing after the other that has decided to fubar itself. First it was the ypipe itself, so I got a new one. Then, the ECU, so I got a new one of those. After I swapped that out it still wasn't working properly so I moved onto getting new sparkplugs again and new wires. That still didn't help so then we found out it was the injectors and I got a new set of 550's. Still not fixed completely and NOW, it is the O2 sensors. After all the searching and trying to figure out what the heck is going on, we come to the fact that the O2 sensors got owned too and OFCOURSE, that has been what has been causing the rough idle and movement issues as of late but more on that later. First lets talk about injectors.

Well I put in the 550's like I promised and while we were at it, my bro and I decided that we would clean up the wiring while we were at it. So we pulled off all the ghetto ugly duct tape and re-taped everything with nice looking electrical tape. Needless to say that the engine bay is looking pretty respectable now. Anyway, as we were cleaning it up we came across this LOVELY sight:





Can you say owned? So what happened is that resistor broke and thus, my guess is that the injector fried itself and poured fuel right into that cylinder which eventually made it to my oil. Don't worry I changed it already haha. The good thing is that I figured out that I have 5 good 450's for sale so anybody who wants them can just shoot me an offer.

On to the O2 sensors. Remember how I told y'all that the rear was cycling. Well, that stopped cycling too. Guess that's what happens to 13 year old O2 sensors haha. So now the rear O2 has joined the front one in the totally useless pile of junk bin. After reading a thread earlier today about O2 sensors, I purchased two Denso universal 4 wire o2 sensors for a whopping $64.25 shipped. When they arrive the car will be up and running again. WOOOT!!!.

Sorry it took me so long to update. I've been trying to figure it out and get it fixed in an attempt to make an update saying something about it working perfectly again haha. On top of that, I just started back at school so things have been a little hectic lately. Thanks guys for your continued support and comments because you've been more of a help than you know. As always, I'll bring you some more meat later haha. Peace,

Mr.3000. aka, baby,... I don't like the pic of me in the green dress :-( It looks like I have no neck...

I love you:-)

Can we get an update!?! I have been following your thread for a while now since I'm doing research for my car.

UPDATE 30 (9/07/07)

As you guys requested. Here is the new update in video form. I am too depressed to type so here it is:

Click to see Video

Let me know what you think

[dhrubio]

OO man Im terribly sorry to hear that, literally. When did this start happening? On your last video it wasn't making that horrible noise right? I wish you the best of luck man, I hate to see a ttconversion gone so wrong. Soon though, that thing will be a jet!

[ShadowMasta]

do a onceover on your timing it sounds like it is off a little but thats just me i gess. Then you need to check your injectors cause they're ticking that is the sound i wont forget when mine went, make sure they are connected to the resitors cause like the last one they could of poped off

[VR4nothing]

What is it? A spun bearing? I'm at work and can't view the page

I really hope it ain't rod knock dude...

[Mr.3000]

Timing is perfect. Checked it just a few days ago, all the resistors are where they should be and the wiring was fixed if their were any problems...The noise is coming from the back of the engine...around where the rear turbo is. I should have showed that better on video I guess....prob spun a bearing when the gas was in the oil....I'll have to change the oil again....
