I was thinking about doing the cnc shift fork with the chromoly bearing retainer but its was an extra $400 give or take. For the amount I abuse the tranny its should hold out pretty well the way it is hopefuly haha
Swapped in the new steering rack today. Old one was so fucked that when I squeezed on one accordian rubber it hissed out the other. Seals are so far gone im suprised it even held fluid.
Bolted the trans and starter to the motor and is 100% ready to drop in. Hopefully get it bolted in tomorrow after work.

Looks good.
Ya i heard the 1-2 shift is a lot harsher with it as well.
Did you just use a basic puller with really long bolts to get all the gears off?

Yeah 1-2 seems to be the problem areas. 1st gear thrust washer and the 1-2 shift fork. The bolt that mounts 1-2 shift fork had almost backed itself all the way out on my r154 along with a broken thrust washer.
Never did use a puller with long bolts for anything. Knocked the output shaft rear bearing off with a hammer since I was replacing it anyways. Used the hydraulic press with a tool that can grab individual bearings at a time to pull the gears off. Not sure what its called but I use it at work to get bearings off snowmobile crankshafts.

thanks man!
Little update. Got the engine in the car after work today and spent about 2.5 hours after gettin ready to run. Just need to drop in the rad, hook up intercooler piping, plug in ecu and fill with fluids. Then the maiden voyage for the first time in a year

She runs once again
Got an early suprise in the mail. Maft-pro box is back so prob going to wire it in this weekend. Im pretty sure the AFM im trying to run it with is pooched.

Finally got the car running tonight. Maftpro still isnt working so still looking into that. Lucked out bigtime and found someone local who was parting a car and got another AFM electronics, lex and K&N FIPK. He wanted $20 but I felt bad and gave him 40 which is still a steal of a deal!
Man have I ever missed boosting around, the town didnt even know what hit em

Managed to get the car running on maftpro with speed density. Seems to work not too bad with just base settings. Still working on getting tunerpro rt working with the maftpro box.
Did some more screwing around with maftpro and data logging. Realized I was pretty limited by pump gas so I threw in some left over racefuel from my sled. Leaned out the fuel mapping even more to 11.5 - 12:1 and turned it up!
Worked my way up to 17psi and lost about every bit of traction in second gear even with the 275's on the rear From a 40 km/h roll in 2nd shes a snakey bitch all the way to red line haha.. Must be doin something right now.
Decided to mod up the recirulation fitting for the bov since I wasnt a fan of how it sounded through the tiny hole. Put it on the lathe and cut it out. Sounds MUCH better now.

Made this
Into this
Restriction
A hell of a lot less restriction
Had to turn down the boost controller significantly after doing this. Hit 19psi on the first pull
Was just pulling air through the stock AFM/Intake pipe till I got around to making this up. Flow is goood!

Ugh cant wait to put this bitch on the track with the mikey thompson's. Put in straight C12 race fuel and ran 21 psi tonight. Didnt think I would be able to loose traction in 3rd gear at 130 km/h.. Gets the adrenalin flowing when it starts to shimmy at that kinda speed..
props man nice car! may i ask what size wheels and offsets you are running? and what size tires? perfect stance man i like those fr500 wheels for sure!
Thanks! Took 3 sets of wheels to get it right
18x9 +24 front w/ 235/40 tires
18X10 +21 rear w/ 275/35 tires

haha well great choice they look great man wouldn't mind running them wheels on mine i am currently looking for 18" wheels with those sizes but cant find a wheel i want. im more of a 5 spoke guy but those are nice and the stance looks great! your on coilovers right man?
5 spoke wheel really go well with mk3's for sure. I just wanted something different then whats normally put on these cars.
Yup I got a great deal on k-sports a few years back. Really nice to be able to adjust height to fit the tire/wheel combos just right.
