Hi Pete,
Fantastic project here, and top shelf execution.
It's great that you will be able to enjoy it soon.
After spending a considerable amount of time rebuilding my 3.9 twice in a row (long story...not my fault :mad: ) and installing a Megasquirt ECU, I've recently travelled the Holland track, and also just got back from a week of driving and fishing (well mainly watching others while I drank beer) around Peaceful Bay.
There's a great deal of satisfaction in enjoying your hard work after its done. All the best with the list of things left to do. I would love to have a gander once complete!
Cheers
Andre

Thanks Andre,
Yeah I can't wait to go and check out all these places.
I'm just trying to sort out the fuel pump at the mo because it's got a lean miss. I think I inadvertantly killed the pump when I bridged out the fuel pump relay to get pressure in the rail. Of couse I didn't look at the dash while doing this which showed I had no fuel so ran the pump dry. Got a new pump yesterday and of course it's the wrong one!?
Hopefully I'll get that sorted tonight and then I'll drive it(with open headers) to my mates place this weekend and build the exhaust. Btw it's bloody hard to get 2 1/4" 304 mandrel bends in Perth. Ended up getting them from Manta and they ripped me off!
You're certainly welcome to have a look whenever you want.
Cheers,
Pete.

G'day Pete
I just used a Bosch pump out of a VL Commadore when i put a bigger tank in mine. Its mounted externally just before the big fuel filter in the rear. Like others have said this is a great build, been enjoing watching it come together.
Cheers

Thanks Nick,
I'd rather not have an external pump for noise and durability reasons.
Anyway it turns out I can use this pump assembly which is for a later version so it has a 4 pin econoseal type connector moulded in rather than the 3pin flying lead. It's supposed to come with a little extension harness but didn't, so I'll chop the plug off and fit the Econoseal.
I've already measured the sender and it does the same 270-20 ohm sweep and is mechanically the same. I'm happy with the $150 price tag for the whole thing too.
Glad you like the project,
Cheers,
Pete.

Well I'd have some more photies for ya but photobucket just continuously "thinks" about opening up.
Anyway got it running and driving yesterday. The pump fixed the lean miss nicely but because I forgot that I'd mucked around with the idle it meant I mucked up the throttle learn for the trans which intially only changed gears when I backed right off. A quick reset was all that was required to have it shifting properly. At this point I'm running the stock shifter in a reverse pattern just temporarily while see about adapting the BF 6spd shifter.
Drove up to the servo to fill up and deafened everyone there:) Then drove to my mates place with the hoist. Got the exhaust built back to the x-pipe today and I was knackered. Should be able to finish back to the muffler tomorrow night so I'll be able to drive it without scaring people:D.

Just a quick question for you Pete, what sort of VSS signal does the EECIV need? My stock Disco ECU needs a 8000 pulses per mile PWM signal from the ABS ECU and was wondering if EECIV would use something similar to this?
I'll be using the stock ZF auto and using the stock Disco ECU and TCM to control everything but the engine.

Easiest way to answer that is with a link...

Very very nice.
Celebration beer time :)
