Limequat's 4.2l I6 Swap

Have you sourced an exhaust flange yet?

We just sold a cat/front pipe for an 05 Trailblazer that I was planning to hack the flange off of in case you still needed one.

Yes, I have sourced one from a Gent on the trailvoy forums. Thanks for thinking of me, though!

I just hacked up my old 7MGTE downpipe and welded the trailblazer stub to it. I'll have to get another video up.

Excellent. I've got this one here so if you find someone else looking for one, let me know!

Definitely do get more videos!

Been a while since I posted. Here's the latest.
Exhaust is hooked up. I swapped springs with the white supra to get the front end off the ground a bit. Maxima radiator and fans are in. The upper radiator hose is a trimmed maxima piece, the lower is a trimmed trailblazer piece. The power steering is hooked up (turns out the stock Supra lines will work with some effort).

Still have a lot of small things to work out. The fan pullley bolts are hitting the fan shroud, making the car sound like a lawn mower with an exhaust leak. Clutch isn't disengaging fully. Hopefully just needs to be bled better.

How much will the hood have to be modified?

He might get away with something simple like Ford here did with the Boss Falcon power bulge.

Wow. I want that Ute in my life.

 

[SupraDreamPDR]

Very nice. Glad its starting to come together for you.

 

[limequat]

Thanks, everyone.

Supramario, I hope to close the stock hood. If not, probably something like IJ posted.
Or maybe something like this!

 

[supra90turbo]

bleh! I hope not... nah, you've got more sense than that... I hope

 

[limequat]

Yeah, just joking.

Anybody have experience tuning GM PCMs? I can't get my fan control to work. The scanner says that it is on, but there's no voltage at the pin!

bad relay

or fuse

 

[limequat]

No voltage at the PCM pin. If I jump voltage to the pcm pin, the relay clicks on and the fans run.

 

[RotaryHead]

usually the pcm grounds the relay but i could be wrong for the gms electrical systems out of the 4 tabs fir the relay you have 2 power and 1 ground and 1 no power the no power is from the pcm usually. you got the electric fan or the clutch type electric fan

 

[supra90turbo]

What year PCM, Lime?

 

[limequat]

My 2006 pcm.

Definitely supplies power in this case. I have dual maxima fans and the Supra condensor fan relay.

 

[supra90turbo]

So, to get this correct, PCM says the fans are activated, but the pin on the PCM itself is not activated?
