So youre 100% sure you won't need it? My dad works on the north side every single day of the week so he'll probably come by when he's on his way home? 3 - 4pm any day of the week really. Let me know when's best and I'll give him the cash and address!

Yeah man, doesn't fit at all. Think i may have sourced a WRX Radiator today as well.

Send me a PM, and i'll give ya the address of the place you can pickit up from and who to ask for.

[AussieTemplar]

PM sent!

[Shaz]

No problems mate. Sent ya a PM back with address.

I've sourced a WRX Radiator which i think i'm going to use, but it had no fans, so we're trying to see if we can use my old fans.

Good work Shaz.

All you guys complaining about looms - all I have to say is GROW A PAIR.

It's not that bad, good effort over the weekend Shaz, disappointed you didn't get it done though I remember we smashed out Luke's conversion to EJ207 in a weekend at a workshop.... boy does it beat doing it on the front lawn !!

Sucks you had bits missing and had to (still have to) source things, looking forward to seeing this thing once it's done !

[aekOne]

yeah sucks to see you running around trying to source all these bits and pieces still mate. ichiban did a bit of a number on ya mate regarding the half cut and what you got with it

i beg to differ

[Start]

Looking good mate, not far to go!

Did you throw away the throttle cable as well? that sucks lol and yeah with the loom, I just plugged in as much as I could, there were a few redundant plugs (from the Auto), turned the key and she went.

If Ichiban start tested it for you, there should be no issues

Dont get me started on the loom, lucky you had a workshop haha

The loom is the easy part

[Shaz]

The loom is the easy part

I disagree.

Everything else was the easy part. The loom was a ***** to do.

So i've found a WRX radiator, but i need a pair of fans (Plastic Fan, Metal Shroud) to suit.
Once thats done, she's ready to fire up.

Every thing else is now done. (Except the bracket that holds the aircon pipe)

Update - Just had a message. Car is cranking, but not firing. Heading up soon to check out some shiz.

That's some good shiz, Shaz

Listen for fuel pump priming Shaz. Check fuel pressure. Check cam + crank angle sensors.

No fuel pump.

Considering i drove it up there, it must be a wiring issue of some sort. FP is def not dead.

Will update as i hear.

Check fuse mate, drivers side kick panel. 10a for memory.

Also chuck a multimeter on the plug that goes in to the fuel pump assembly. 5 wires on there, gen2's its the middle two pins I believe for the fuel pump, but you should see 12v when you turn the car to reds, should drop off after that- it will sit at 12v when you are cranking it though.

Yeah, i'll check that out when i head up there.

Good luck mate.

Remember once its done. Skids.

It's wet out, so good time to go break that v3 motor in

Skids = Non-Optional.

LOL, good way to break the STi motor .
Also in the dry or not at all. Nothing more sad then hearing people doing skids in the wet. Just look like a total wanker.

Wont be hard to sus the issue. Pull the lead of a plug, stick another plug in it and sit it on the manifold. Crank and watch for spark. (Helps if the room is dark too).

If there's no spark, check the CAS.
If there is spark, pull an injector out and stick it in an ice cream container, crank and see if it squirts fuel into the container. If it does, somethings not happening when its supposed to.

Yeah, well what we've found so far is that a plug that sits on the main fuse box in the drivers side footwell seems to be the wrong plug. In speaking with Al up at AMAuto, he mentioned that the loom may have come out of a later month model Heritage, which uses a different plug. We think that this plug is the main plug that powers the rear of the car, hence why the fuel pump isn't priming.

We'll replace the plug, and see how we go. If that doesn't work, we'll check the CAS etc. The injectors work 100%, as i had them tested, flowed, and acid cleaned to make sure so we didnt have to pull em out again. Not sure if its sparking yet, haven't gotten that far.

Fingers crossed its something simple hey.
Plug in question are below.

The injectors might be 100% ok. Doesn't mean they're getting the signal to open.
But if the Fuel pump isn't primning, I'd say that'd be your first port of call.

Yeah, when the ignition goes on, the is absolutley no power to the pump. Doesn't make any noises whatsoever, and we think that white plug is the culprit. We're going to dodgy up some spade terminals and wire to see if we hook it up, the pump works. If it does, it's definately the pump wiring.
