[Xon]

Bugeye started in late 01 I believe?

[Scott]

yeah 01 was bugeye also

i had a jap spec bug sti and it was a V8 with twinscroll was a late 02 model

was just saying if you have a bug sti cut then you will be looking for dccd when you dont have it

[vicelore]

OK so a big day of pulling apart the half cut.. And lots of pics as promised.

Enjoi

[Scott]

sweet mate looks like youve got a fairly modded one

your pics answered my question tho, you wont have dccd

also what turbo do you have on it? may have been changed stock bug's come with vf30

[cameron]

[CRUISN]

Hey guys.

Got a few questions.. First up where is the Odo memory stored ? is it inside the ecu or in the dash cluster.. Im asking as i have now removed the dash cluster and didnt get to fire it up to check the K`s on it.. And i would of liked to see them.. I was a little worried as the battery terminals seemed dodgy and i didnt wanna blow anything up putting a battery on to it.. Heres a pic of what im talking about..



Also im assuming the ECU is located under the piece of steel in the passanger footwell ?? Was just wondering what this is ??



Cheers Fellas

[aekOne]

you odometer reading is stored in your cluster. the ecu is under the metal panel in the passenger side foot well and that module you've got is an HKS EVC Electronic Boost Controller

[vicelore]

Cool cool thanks Aek. confirmed what i thought.. Is there any way to power it up and read it ?

[Scott]

if you havent pulled the loom apart yet
just hook a battery up and turn the key to the reds!

[vicelore]

Got her all powered up this morning.. If im looking in the correct spot (not famular with the dash but it looked like the right spot.) it seems to have as many K`s as i was told was on the engine so thats good.

Went about removing all the useless wiring that was throughout the car. Had A kill switch, alarm light speaker wire`s all through the car that where connected to nothing at all..






Also suprised me that the speedo only goes up to 180.. My libertys one is higher..I would think it would be easy to wind a STI off the clock at 180..

Fun times Cheers Vice..

[aekOne]

yeah mate that's the odometer reading.

JDM cars are speed limited to 180 kmph. If your running the OEM JDM ECU you'll need an aftermarket speed cut defender (some turbo timers will have a speed cut defended feature as well) or get your tuner to remove the speed cut if you want to get it over 180kmph.

[Ren-dog]

Looking good mate. Good luck and have fun

[vicelore]

Cheers guys.. Its very fun atm and giving me allot to research every day.. I cant imangine how fun its going to be when its getting to turn key time

And that first boost will be like losing my V plates again id say

Gonna take the TMIC off tommorow and check out the turbo.. Hopefully i find something allot bigger than standard

[vicelore]

Hey guys.

If i cant aquire back brakes before the swap happens ( i will be upgrading eventually ) Will the old hubs/rotors/calipars off the gen 3 fit the R180 shaft ?

I know i read (a few pages back) i would have to get the old hub machined anyhow so im thinking it will bolt straigt on..

Well had a bit of an incident with some new roadworks around the corner from my house this week.. On the way to work at 6:45 and hit a massive pot hole feel the tires go so pull into a slip lane only to see two other cars parked with jacks under them. Eventually got her home and got the wheels off to find them massivly bent and cracked.. So been ****ing around with insurance companys and the construction company all week.. SO not much progress on the car.

I do plan on getting all the loom out this weekend tho and then ill be onto getting it out the liberty the weekend after

[Morgan]

Holy crap that's not good!

[vicelore]

Yea i know mate. I was so angry. I drove back past them in my sisters car ( had to borrow hers ) and gave 7 of them a earfull as they where trying to fill up the pot hole..

Funny thing was i wasnt even going fast as their is trafic in the area all the time.. Defently did a number on my wheels tho..

Went in and got a quote thru insurance for a whole new set with tires this morning but ofcourse i cant get the ones i really want lol.. Think ill just sell these and put them towards the conversion..
