Can anyone recommend a shop to reassemble an ej20k v3 sti? I've called around most won't touch a jdm block. I spent years compiling all the parts. Now I've got 2 kids and a 50hr work week and do not have the time to assemble the parts.

Isnt the map sensor bypassed with the rob tune? And im going to be adressing the temp sensor, its just a pain becauuse i just finished the build did intial start up and now i have to break it down again... Also if the radiator fans cycle during system check does that signal the sensor is actually go...

Id like an update as well, I am literally dealing with those exact codes after my robtune install and a new swap.

Edit: I am not seeing 12... I am seeing 21 and 45.

Thanks, looking for fsm now. Only have the jdm ones that i was using for build thus far. And will be doing more of a search into the tps. Just obee strung on this project and was hoping the firing up would be simple. But when dods that ever happen ha.

Solved one issue, definetly flooded her. Spark plugs doused in gas. Pulled them and doing another oil change to prevent contamination for my break in. After that hopefully she starts up. I guess i should have gone further than just disconnecting fuel pump. Should i disconnect all of the harness conn...

I envision this is going to be a rather long thread as I honestly don't exactly know where to start so there are a lot of questions. This is my first swap and the furthest i have pushed my mechanic skills so i am in need of help big time. To begin I dropped in a newly rebuilt ej20k with ej20g intake...

Final Update with this issue. Block is is "great shape" says machine shop bearing was just starting to fail when pulled out of the car. Said it was probably just beginning to experience issues. Rings and bearings are being replaced heads and block surfaced. Get it tomorrow and will begin r...

Thanks, They already mentioned they will check all of that for me, and already included price of rings into their estimate for them. And said they are open to dealing with jspec directly for me in order to improve communication and ensure im covered. Theyre going to do it all for 735, which is not b...

Will do im waiting to hear back from them. And ya im really happy with jspecs customer service on this. Was worried they were going to claim no responsibility.

Notified them theyre seeing what options i have and getting back to me at the end of the day. But i dealt with onr guy yesterday who was trying to tell me its a used motor so i should expect some wear, which i couldnt believe. But the guy i spoke with today sounded like they were going to fix this. ...

Shitty well then im going to be calling jspec and asking for a replacement. Should i even bother with the analysis? Jspec is seeing what theyre able to do but i guess i will be requesting a new motor. Damnit so much time and effort, why did i wait to drop the oil pan, drained it found nothing now st...

Thanks i found a set of ej205 coils that im picking up later today and i have mine to make sure theyre the correct size. I Appreciate your assistance mike

So while replacing my gaskets on my ej20k i cracked the oil pan open and found some metal. I assume its bearing material. Am i correct in this thinking? Is there a way to check the bearings? I have sent my oil in for a evaluation but im wondering if i can check the condition if the bearings or if th...

I already installed the ecu and was begining the ignition converter when i realized the issue. Because i was going to go with the plan you outlined for me in the other thread. Electrical just isnt my forte, im a total newbie with it. But i want to learn and do it myself because its my car you know? ...

Thanls Mike, but then how much do a set of cops cost that will fit onto the ej20k run? They have to be about an inch longer. Which is why i was thinking it may be better to just do the wiring. But i dont know im really a loss here right now

So i am working on wiring in my ej20k into my legacy, which had an ej20g. The previous owner did some sort of cop conversion and removed the ignitor. My question is since i am going to be swapping the ej20g robtuned ecu how should i go about rewiring this to work with the 20ks coilpack? I would go a...

Thats perfext, thanks. I just wanted to make sure i was reading the instructions right. Everything is in place just had to double cbeck.

Ok well this is a serious amateur question, could someone please explain what is meant by merging the pins for the ecu? Cut solder? Seperate from pins then join together. Im slightly confused as i have never done anything like this.

I just pulled the trans and diff for my swap, now i also have a 20k intake manifold, 22t intake manifold, 20g slanty intercooler. Ver 3 sti ecu, vf23 turbo. Im almost certain more parts will follow

Its Here, Just got it yesterday, and have my gasket kit coming monday. Pulled the old trans and diff out. Now im in the process of working out the wiring. Anyone have any advice on the accessories? should i use the 20g accessories or is it possible to snip and merge the 20k accessories plugs into my...

I am looking to piece together a rob tune setup, ecu, maf, and ignition conversion if anyone has one they arent using any longer or never got around to installing.

I cant wait to get started working on it! I had to postpone shipping on my engine till after the new year. But at least that give me time to get all my ducks in line. I have ordered all of the gaskets for the block and am working on the rob tune and ignition conversion. Thanks for all the informatio...

I am keeping those, Sorry

Ya i was having a minature panic moment just got off work when i realized and posted before looking my bad
