3sgte Swap Complete!!! Options

[gtfc115]

well today was the best day in a LOOONG time (about 2 years). i got a call from my guy at the shop and he said the swap was done. OH JOY.

i picked it up and went driving around for a few hours...not really beating on it too bad, but i was giving it some gas a few times. wow this thing is awesome. its tough to find the gears sometimes (i need to re-do my mr2 tranny shifter conversion). and i need to grind down the passenger side engine mount cuz its resting on the timing gear cover.

so now here's the first inevitable problem...i was on my way home on a country road and stepped on it a little, and it died. at first i thought it just stalled so i tried to start it back up, and it died again. i pull over and started it and it idled ok, but if i even touched the gas a little, it died.

i called the shop and he said it sounded like my fuel pump went out. does that sound right to you guys? i was expecting this to happen cuz i was using my 7afe fuel pump (i know, BAD idea). so now's my chance to get a new one.

Very true. Installing that 6th gen GT passenger side bracket with the engine in the bay is gonna be a huge PITA. The mount is wrong, the fuel pump is wrong. What else could be wrong ?

You should look over the whole car, and take it very slow while breaking it in.
My car didnt see the highway until a few days of slow street driving.

I could'nt imagine taking a car out on the highway in the condition they gave it to you.

Good luck man
