Oh and I just picked up a new starter a few minutes ago.

It F'n RUNS!!!! Haha so excited right now! Gonna wait for dad to get home tomorrow to help me adjust the shift cables since it doesnt want to go into 1st or 2nd to well and then will come the test drive. So far everything sounds great, idles great, feels great so it should run great aswell. All the wiring mods ended up perfect too. Plus I wont be killing rear O2 sensors anymore after bumping the header since the driveshaft sits almost an inch farther away. But now I'm almost forced to get a HFC because I had to cut 1 of 2 mounting ears off of the stock SVT cat since it was hitting the VSS sensor, shouldnt be an issue for now though. Anyways it F'n RUNS!!!!!!

Thanks everybody!
Took it for a drive around the block and intial impressions of the Torsen are great. Even though I havent/ nor want to get on it yet, the diff just feels super smooth, dont know how to describe it. Also feels like the car will have some more balls with the shorter gearing. Stock clutch feels almost like an SVT's with a wee bit lighter pedal feel which I love, its easy to engage. Currently talking to my tuner about a retune as I have 7 transmission codes, hanging/ slow decelerating revs, and the speedometer is off by a little. Also have a rattle which I'm sure has to do with the cat bracket I was forced to modify. And yes, I should be at the next MM with my car finally, havent ran it in almost a year.

I would love to see a side by side of the gearing difference. On paper here's what the difference looks like: (copied an pasted from FJ thread) ATX RATIOS: 1st: 2.82 2nd: 1.50 3rd: 1.00 4th: 0.73 Final: 3.68 (Duratec, SPI?) 3.91 (Zetec) 4.15 (SPI? Contour) MTX-75 GEAR RATIOS: 1st: 3.67 2nd: 2.14 3rd: 1.45 4th: 1.03 5th: .77 Differential Gears: 3.42 (duratec) 3.82 (zetec) 4.10/4.11 (contour and FR) And link: forums.focaljet.com/shift/452431-look-here-your-tranny-1-4-mile-you.htmlSome say the Zetec MTX final is actually 3.83 and the FR final drive set was 4.06's not 4.10's I believe. Anyways, my previous best ATX ET was a 17.497 @ 79.24mph, hoping to at least break the 16's now. |
