oh ps, yes i know this has taken several months, and the car is dirty :P

[QUOTE=jEstEr?]Realistically 2 months till its driving, the swap isn't the hard bit, making all the BP5 suspension & wiring match the GC8 suspension and wiring. From what i can gather, this is a fairly unique swap. Personally i'd like to get it going and start setting up suspension ~2 months at least before Dutton, get out and get some track time.[/QUOTE]


tee hee. time and money budget well out the window :P

Nice work Matt and Stace!

The news of motec bringing a proper '06+ PnP with DBW support has def. got me excited! Though going cable throttle is always the better option. If you did go cable, with the conversion you would have to change the complete intake or just change the throttle body?

At this point i'd need to change intercooler, manifold, throttle body, pedal assembly and of course string a cable. the DBW/DBC throttle body and therefore manifolds are different.

plus MoTeC DBW > OEM DBW

Autronic are also about to release a DBW version of their pnp.

I would still go cable if I was you Matty...DBW ain't a good thing.

I'll be quite interested to see what the total difference in weights will be Matt when your finished - sounds like theres alot of (what we would term unnecessary) weight savings to be had :)

And his suspension is still getting dusty :(. Make the final payment!!!!!!! :) Coming along nicely there matt, would love to do this myself :)

Ahh is matty the bastard who ended up with your DMS's steve?

Matty, can't Motec remove the MY03 board and put on their "generic" board turning it into a "gold box" without the gold box? After all an M800 is an M800.

I'm also very interested as to why people think electronic throttles are bad? Though I guess they do need to be executed correctly.

Yes he is foxey, and u're the bastard that ended up with my twinscroll setup *cries* u still owe me a ride man :) hope the baby is running all good now. GPS Tracking soon ?

damn! best thread I've ever read :) i didn't know that there was so much involved in a conversion, guy who did mine must have been a champ :D Sweet project Matt!
