Hello my name is Thomas.
Im building a 2005 legacy wagon. Its been about 4 years. I work on it and watch hpa about 10 hrs a week. My wifes car needs its transmission redone so im running out of time and need to get it running.
I have swaped in a h6 ez30r with forged internals, turbo'd it and upgraded fuel system, I have also swapped in a 2005 sti transmission, rear diff, front knuckles, Custom driveline and cv axles. I also built the engine harness, and wired the inside.
I am using a haltech nexus r3 to control the engine and a dccd pro spyder for the transmission.
I am running into many problems. I should not have got for such an ambitious project and should not have done all the steps at the same time. now im here and i want to learn but dont want to be chaising my tail and need some help
1. I cant get it to idle. Ive broken 2 starters and paid $400 to a remote tuner for 8 hrs over 3 days. Ive watched webinar 205 many times. The only time i have gotten it to idle smooth was with max cranking set to 5000 & ve at 120. Of course thats not good as my fans wouldn't work, overheating, and all sorts of other things. I have set it to 200-800. Its super rough and i can only get it sputter and cough. I cant get it to think its running on the time table. ive tried dissabling the fuel cranking & post start tables and enabling them. Trimming or adding 10% Fuel. Flood clear mode. I have not messed with timing more than 5°. The best ive gotten it idling for 30 seconds "max cranking" at 700, startup tables disabled, base efficiency at 138. It is hunting really bad, popping, smoking. The lambda goes between lambda .8-1.2 Or too cold. Its been cold. My tables keep moving through temps as i wear out my starter.
If i could just get it to idle id have something to go off of.
2. My dash is a nightmare
All the stock wiring is still there. Im watching canbus classes. I have not been able to get my dash to respond to anything. On top of that i have traced a power draw to the dash circuit /starter fuse.
3. My abs
I have swaped my transmission and front knuckles. This is bound to mess with my abs.
