Nice one, thanks Bill :)

There's no stopping you Tim :D

Good luck with the install.

Hey Rich, where have you been lately?

Jon Merck 09-10-2007 06:04 PM

Exactly what I did, the top connection goes to the brake booster if you have one...the throttle cable that fellow pelican DS DW recommends is much better than the Timmins kit one.

Wow already making good progress. I am jealous. I looked at the Timmons exhaust they have some nice concepts. The 3/4" headers with heater tin welded around to allow for cats or cat bypass. Very nice idea. I wonder if those with cats would pass Ca. smog referee inspection.

Tinker 09-10-2007 09:00 PM

You can take the power steering bracket and simply cut out the 3 bolt area that seals the cam. I did that on my install way back in the mid 1990's before Timmins had kits / pieces available.

Also, I found the cruise control cable worked perfectly as a throttle cable with simple modifications to one (bell housing) end.

Never had any issues with these modified pieces.

Hello mate,

Taking care of a two year and a four year old!:eek: Between them and work not much free time these days :(

Your car is looking great.:)

Had a nice little delivery from Patrick Motorsport this afternoon:

Looks like nice quality kit!

I've sold my 3.2 so will be dropping that out over the weekend. Once that's done the gearbox is being shipped off for a rebuild (MB Engineering in Cumbria, UK is doing it). Things are moving along nicely :D

Wow! I am going to be following in your footsteps almost to the letter. I pick up my 96 vram on Thursday. I already talked with Jim at Patrick Motorsports about the parts and the right exhaust for california. The PM quality cant be beat ... glad to hear and see your progress.

Nice project. Good luck!!

OK, Dropped the engine today, my first time! I followed the Bentley manual and everything went without a hitch. Took about 3 leisurely hours.

Some pics:

Anyway, I'm pleased with todays progress! Another step closer to 3.6 power ;)

No problem mate :D

AirCooledExcellence 10-04-2007 08:11 AM

Still moving forward with this (albeit slowly!), and have a couple of questions for the 3.6 swap experts!

The wiring harness that I got with the engine has one of the sockets removed leaving me with 3 wires to connect to something!

http://www.zen78885.zen.co.uk/ForumP...93Engine24.jpg

After some investigation I believe this to be the flywheel sensor connection (the white one is head temp, the green is knock). What I don't know is how to connect this up to the flywheel sensor! The sensor has a plug with 3 connections numbered 1-3, I need to know which colour wire goes where. Looking at the connection to the knock sensor, white=1, brown=2, 3=black

http://www.zen78885.zen.co.uk/ForumP...93Engine25.jpg

Is it safe to assume the Flywheel sensor is the same? Does anyone know for sure?

One other query, I'm planning on doing the engine tin modifications over the weekend. Does anyone have detailed information on how to do this? Some close-up pics would be great as well ;)

Thanks!

Thanks Bill. I guess it's called the "engine speed sensor" on the diagram. White = 1, brown = 3, so black must = 2. Don't know why it's called NCA though?

Does anyone know if you can buy the plugs separately from the loom?

Bill Verburg 10-04-2007 09:06 AM

I think NCA means no color assigned, all the NCA's go to a central chassis ground
