Looking really good there Mark! Jonno, it's wiring, you can do all sorts of things with where you mount things. If you wanted to do something really painful you could mount the ECU on the roof of the cab by extending all the wires to the ECU... If running an Aussie spec ECU you might need to run th...

Its been a while since ive posted but I did manage to make some headway during the last couple of months. I started by identifying the plugs and tie ins on my Aussie supplied harness. After that it was pretty easy to determine what wiring stays and what I could eliminate from my wagon. I should also...

same thing for me, i have to change it to vb each time i log on

bump stops were on the wagons only here, and that adjustable strut matches what had been installed on my xt6 by the po. The back sat up pretty high until I put 4wd struts from an rx on the rear, sits nice now. Btw, my wagons rear struts are identical to my rx's struts too. As far as the adjustable i...

Thats awesome ! The only improvement I could see is a matching lift and rear wheels/tires. Ill bet it gets it fair share of attention on the road

The talk going around on my side of the world is the rabbit died;)
seriously though I hope your felling better real quick.....I think we all miss your awesome posts and siggy's:)

Now, metric or non metric rivnuts?

yessir, everything in front of the new rad, and the rivit nuts are sae 1/4 x 20. All my mandrels are sae but
metric mandrels and riv nuts are available.

Nice work, Also a very simple solution instead of hacking at the lower support, but since the lower mounts are closer to the engine, will fans fit? thanks guyph, Ill be installing my fans in front of the rad along with my waic rad. Ive already pulled my ac condenser and I think ill have to loose my...

Today I finished up my radiator install. I chose a gen 1 lib/legacy turbo rad to keep the ej20g cool. The core is 76 mm taller than the stock rad so I cut the lower support corners and bolted 1/8" steel brackets to the lower support. I had to cut the return of the upper support to stand the rad up p...

There was a time where I was running my '90 mpfi turbo wagon, awd and 4eat 300 miles round trip daily to work, and checking the mpg each morning when filling up I was hitting 29.8 mpg. After a catastrophic water loss incident I picked up the '89 rx to do the same commute and hit the same mpg with th...
