nice build! I love your write up. Your humor is great!

 

Thanks for all the kind words

 

hmmm...I've seen that motor before...see my list of cars

just to let you know a few of your motor specs are off...regardless a nice build!!

what rear end are you running in the car? did you get a 4.44 rear end with the motor/trans?

The manual speedo bolts right to the trans, trust me...then you pull the psotive signal off the back side of the gauge cluster (like oem) and that signal runs to the ecu...no limp mode issue
are you making the car rhd? if not you will need to fab a few things for the turbo to clear our brake master cylinder.

 

I got my motor specs off website so if so, they are wrong
*also noticed you have a 96, which may lead you to believe my specs are wrong, iv done alot of research and i dont belive im wrong, but you probably have the 250 hp ej20h, 4 plug ecu, vf13/vf14

The rear end didnt come with the motor trans, not sure if its 160 or 180 but it has a lsd

Im alittle confused about what you are talkin about when it comes to the speedo ( i suck at anything wiring )

And the car is indeed already rhd, I did not flip the pictures
*only pictures that show it rhd besides me saying it are hyperlinked

 

very cool,rep for your project

 

yes, I have an EJ20h but your motor should be 9.0:1 and not 8.0:1...as for the speedo, you cable will fit right up to the tranny no issues...from there-there is a positive signal that comes off of the gauge cluster that is sent to the ecu as the speed signal...

post pics of the rear of the diff or the CV's you have with it and I can tell you whether its a r180 or a r160...what did you source it from?

 

Bad ass. I'd bring you a beer, but I don't know where you are. And it's like 1:00 in the afternoon.

Keep posting!

 

I sourced it from blackbart, If anyone needs something I would recommend him, Iv gotten a lot of things from him to keep this build on the go, like manual pedal box for a rhd, a tt crossmember for like 120 bucks, when ESC wanted 300+ for one

Doing more research looks like it may be 8.5:1 static compression, the autos may be 9:1 I keep reading that they are different

 

well, I KNOW mine is 9.0:1 as I cc'ed the heads and piston when I tore it down for a spun rod bearing

 

The website does state the ej20h has 9:1

Heres where im sourcing the info from

its a very handy site to hold on to, has alot of good info for the TT engine
