Looks like your almost done!

I have the same clutch, and my is pretty noisy. Doesn't like to slip without making noise, and now the clutchdisc springs rattle, only with the A/C on. I think the rattle is mainly due to the Findanza flywheel I used...you'll probably be fine with the stock flywheel.

Yes, I did not change a single thing on the W58 aside from installing a new bearing

You have a very good eye, sir!

Yes, the car itself is basically done. The only thing left is fill with fluids and pre-start, which I will be doing this afternoon. I will work on getting some more of the pictures posted today as well!

After the engine was bolted into place Dr Tweak started building a custom harness on the engine, while it was in the car.

Sorry guys, I've been so busy working out the bugs with the SC I haven't been keeping the thread updated. I'll see if I can't get some more pictures up soon. The car has been out for a few test drives. Had a rear main seal leak, fixed that, then P/S pump went out, replaced that, now we're experiencing an insane over boosting issue. Aside from that, the thing pulls like a raped ape all the way up to boost cut

Looks good sir! Are you sure it is hitting boost cut and not the dreaded Aristo neutral rev limiter? I fought that same issue thinking it was boost cut until I put a boost gauge on it and saw it was only making 11psi.

Yes. we have an AEM Tru-Boost gauge on the vehicle. Currently it's only functioning as a boost gauge. We do not have the solenoid hooked up yet. We are consistently hitting boost cut at 17~18psi. Then the ECU goes into low boost mode and won't let us boost over 4~5psi.

I'm sorry guys, I've been insanely busy at work with two new employees, and new projects for 2012! I'll try and finish posting all the pictures I have of this swap. The car went home (back to Colorado) back in October, then a few weeks after that I was in an accident with my personal SC300, so my presence on CL wasn't as often.

To Valcoor, for pricing information, please send me a PM, we are no longer vendors on these forums and I'm not able to discuss numbers publicly. Thanks!

-Cam, Tweak'd Performance
