From Boost to Reliable. M62b44 Swap!

[joshw02]

Got the v8 to idle correctly after chasing some vacuum leaks. Installed the SSSquid m62 obd1 chip and the car runs great. Idle is smooth and quiet especially with open headers. Still need to finish up exhaust and some other odds and ends.

Here is a quick shot of the car idling with no exhaust.

How do you like the chip? Notice any difference? Thx

That exhaust it tits, awesome craftswomanship. I like the stealthy nature and how properly tucked it is. I think you might get a little resonation with the tip pointed straight down like dat waffleswaffleswaffles.

Exhaust complete!

2.5 inch 409 stainless steel all chopped and tig welded. 2.5->x pipe->vibrant resonators->Spintech dual in/out.

Sorry, forgot to respond. I can't say with 100% certainty but I think I was referring to the Cam Position Sensor- at one point you mentioned it was contacting the sensor. Did you guys just bend it back a bit more?

Yes, we modified the cam sensor wheel by cutting off the extra tabs. MonkeyMadness provided some guidance on this.

For the crank position sensor we ended up welding an m60 bracket on the m62 cover, got the spacing for the sensor from the m60 with a feeler gauge.

That sound is amazing! Exhaust is looking good. How does the 409 weld different from 304?

Started tacking up the exhaust. 409 stainless is so nice to work with!








First Test drive. Mattdk driving!

What'd you end up doing about the CPS?
