well, as the majority of you know, I have been collecting parts for the last few months and I have finally finished my top swap!!

From this experience I have learned to not cheap out on any parts and buy quality from the get go. I bought the pacesetter knock off headers and yes, THEY DID NOT FIT!! So, after learning that lesson, i had to spend another $450 to go and buy a set of TOG's from a guy in Milwaukee (wow was i lucky lol), but any ways, it was definately an interesting experience and I too have fallen victim to the horrible effects of dexcool (i forgot to take pictures). I did replace all the coolant with preston 50/50 mix and all is well. I am just in the final stages of finally getting everything tuned in properly and I will soon be installing RSHutchinson's intercooler as well, so that I can prevent knock even better!

The swap took a little over 2 days, due to the fact that I didnt have the right headers and I had to wait for the guy in milwaukee to respond to my messages on clubgp.

Well anyways here are some pictures:

Very cool and congrats man!

One question, is that David Lex in the pic? Just out of curiosity.

FINISHED!!!


We did although run into a couple problems, my BRAND NEW Taylor 8MM wires took a crap on me and decided to help throw 142 misfires along with the plugs taking a poop on me also. So, i had to go and buy new plugs and wires. I will NEVER use Taylor products again!!! ZZP 10.3MM FTW!!!!!!

I hope everyone enjoys!

no thats not lex. thats my friend Jeremy Hyucke up in Green Bay.

lol. Alright. Just wondering.


So are you not getting anymore misfires? Any issues?

i get misfires ONLY at idle but than once im driving they go away. So, im thinking that my coil packs are taking a dump on me.

Look nice.

and the blonde guy is sheldon bolth of them are way cool guys

Nice job bro! Looks really nice.

So what are you doing with your other headers?

Did you just put those headers on during the swap ?

looks awesome, Glad nothing went horribly wrong.

Gonna be sick !

Have you got everything 100% together and driven it yet ?

BTW x10033249 on the 10.3 mm wires.

idk what i am going to do with the other headers. there was supposed to be a guy that was going to take them for $175 but hes not sure.

if someone wants them, they can have them for $175 plus shipping, they will need to be refitted though, just a fair warning to anyone that may be interested!!

I still need to tweak everything, i now have to buy a brand new BBV because i went cheap and bought a used one! Dang everything is going wrong today!! UGHH!!!!

No matter what mod you do, EVER

something goes wrong, no way around it.

forget something, something broke.

It sucks and happens to me often lol

ya well, lol im starting to get annoyed!

anyone have a 3.8 mps laying around? Friend is looking for one.

How did they tune it if the BBV is broken?
