the housing is the same, but its the internals that your gonna have to change

 

Was told everything was the same, so our trans could bolt to a 3rd gen block with evo head

 

I think you might have been lied to...everyone I have ever heard from says the internals are not the same.

 

Well gear ratios are different but as in swapping I think it's all the same

 

the thing you need to change is the bell housing. you can run our gears and diff and their bell housing to accomplish that. but if you do it the other way by using their grars and diff you need to get custom cv axles made as well.

you ready for that pulley yet as well?

i get my trans back next week and will be giving my money away then, ill let u know if i have enough at that point. all the bearings were destroyed lol but luckily the magnet pulled everything and none of the gears got destroyed

 

i just recieved my vortex gen from rexspeed yesterday!! so happy

trans is done, just gotta get it and install it

 

started my tranny install but have to finish tomorro since im getting the flywheel resurfaced : )

stage 1 tranny to handle higher rpm's safer by dogbox racing

 

well cars running again, just breaking it in....still a bad noise coming from the right side of the motor, if i give it gas it makes a type of knocking noise but i got no CEL after 75 miles, knock count is zero, CEL does not flash, i dont know what this noise is

i do love the new stiffness of the pedal, much better than stock : )

but right now i need that noise gone : (

any ideas? i have to check my spark plugs again as i think another one failed, whyyyyyyyyy

 

heres some pics

 

vortex gen from rexpeed

 

that all looks really really good. no idea what the noise is, but I'm curious to see if the plug is cracked up again.

 

no plugs cracked this time.........but i got a question about plugs, what happens when u gap irridiums or platinums......and our gap should be 28 right?

video is uploading now to hear the sound.....no CEL, car pulls wonderfully, i noticed some oil on the bottom of the intake mani, as if its running from where it bolts to the head but nothing major, few drips, this noise is just rele bad, im thinking of getting the decomp head gasket if its a clearance issue.......hate my car sounding like a diesel!!

You not supposed to gap iridiums. Too fragile and prone to breaking when messed with. Run straight NGK or Denso copper plugs. 2 ranges colder, .20-.25 on the gap. Also, oil doesn't travel through the intake manifold to the head. If you're seeing oil leaking from the intake manifold gasket, I would remove the intake manifold to see if you have some bad valve stem seals that are leaking oil. Could also be a leaking valve cover gasket on the rear of the head dripping oil onto the intake manifold.

 

Senate, ne word on what the noise is
