I finished my 3.0L swap! I wanted to end this thread with the last pictures I took. I had no troubleshooting; the car turned on without any problems it was very exciting and makes me feel good because I made sure to take my time so that I would do this swap correctly.




I ran into a little problem with the bellhousing, I didn�t have to cut the ear off but it made the oil cooler pipes fit much better.



This made the swap a lot easier having instructions right on top of your project.

The EGR with the brass fitting


The finishing touches.



I have driven 35 miles and I have been taking it slow. I will do the 500 mile break in then change the oil and filter. After that I will be going to get an SCT Xcal2 tune. My car sounds very beautiful. I tired making my own MIL eliminators but I don�t think they worked because I am getting the error codes. I am really happy with everything I hope this swap lasts and I don�t get lots of problems. I want this engine to last me for a while. Thanks for everyone who helped me and gave there input. I am going to try to get a video of the final sound of the car.

These are the codes that are coming up.

P0141 ââ?¬â?? O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor2)
P0155 ââ?¬â?? O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 1)
P0135 ââ?¬â?? O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P0161 ââ?¬â?? O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2 Sensor 2)

Just wondering if all of these codes come up from the MIL eliminators not working correctly?

You can turn off the downstream O2's on your XCal2 tune instead of making MIL eliminators for them. It's way easier, but you won't have them for comparing bank readings. IMO, it isn't a big deal, especially if you have a wideband sensor hooked up correctly with a good tune.

BTW, congrats on your 3L!

That sounds like you pinched a wiring harness (or corrupted the circuit) for the O2 sensors. Improperly made/installed MIL Eliminators may be causing it but I would double-check all the wiring first. Especially the wiring for the front (bank 2) O2 sensors.

Looks great.

YOu are probably getting those codes cuz you soldered the wrong wires when you tried to make mil eliminators.

What would the MIL elims have to do with the upstream sensors? That could be the problem on the lowers, but wouldnt another issue be causing the upstream problems?

Congrats on finishing your project! Looking forward to see what kind of numbers you get.

Thanks for the replies. I believe it could be a fuse. One of the fuses controls all the 02 heater sensors so I think I will check that out and see if it is the case.

I thought my MIL eliminators were done correctly. My dad did it and he is a hardware engineer. I would tease him if he got something so simple wrong.

Yep it was a fuse, it makes you feel good when you figure out a problem. Thanks for the ideas.

I will get that video on here shortly

What kind of clutch did you use?
Why did you decide to keep the secondary Butterflies?

Good job on the install and thanks for the updates.
I started taking my 3L apart but won't remove my 2.5 for another couple weeks - need another car to drive first.

Good luck with the tuning.
