Im in the same boat. I began my swap july of '08 and still is not running right. ive prolly spent close to $3000 on parts i thought were bad. in my case it seems like an ignition problem. maybe yall can help.
PROBLEMS I KNOW OF:
headers are not tight ( broken studs)
ECU is code J4, not bolted to chassis
MAFS is not soldered just jerry rigged
o2 sensor not hooked up cuz i havent figured out which wire is which
only no.1 pipe gets hot, 2, gets warm,3and 4 are cold on header
exhaust is cat back, gutted cat, but not hooked up past turbo elbow
ect..ect... bottom line i dont have the time to work on it like i used to so im stuck just getting ideas for now.
to me the car sounds like its got a wrong fire order. all coils are getting spark.
I pulled the plugs and results are as follows:
No.1: Charred, carbon build-up
No.2: soaked with fuel, still brand new
No.3: a lil carbonized, just barely
No.4: soaked with fuel.
my oil smells like fuel, the car is really rich
fires up immediatly when u try to start it
give it throttle real boggy cant reach 5k
so go head and flame away, my neighbor said he was a mechanic and would help with the swap, but in the middle of swappin it he moved away so im stuck now with no mechanic skills, i just drive. but after all that i mentioned is good 2 go i feel like its still going to run like shit
