Yea cause i told you too
since far as i know standard redline for a ecotec V6 is 6000rpm so not sure why the #### yours was going to 6100rpm before hitting limiter, probably what blew it the #### up.
Maybe thats true, maybe it's not.
More updates:
Pulled air-con unit + the rest of the wiring off my current engine and got it towed to Marcus' house.
Afterwards went around to Brothers house with the younger brother to pull apart the new engine - manifolds, wiring loom, spark plugs, throttle body + cables as they were cut, injectors changed while there, power steering lines removed, etc as they were all cut from the wreckers.
Just need to jack up my car and unbolt the starter motor so i can remove the wiring from the battery to the rest of the car.
Then just need to bolt up the alternator, add the power steering lines + the pulley back on, bolt up the starter motor, then it should be all good to dump in when the other one is removed. I'll fit my high ratio rockers + charger after the car is running properly first. Need to also acquire new spark plugs and regap them down to 0.85 for the charger.
List to get:
Oil
Oil Filter
Power steering fluid
Coolant
Spark plugs
Engine mount - probably afterward i'll just lift the motor and change it when it's in as I don't have the $$ to do it straight away
Still need to change from motor to motor:
Air con unit
Start motor
Oil pressure switch (current one is leaking)
Power steering lines
Few snaps
Also in other news my two new subs turned up, Polk Audio MM1240 12's which will replace my boot-hog of a 15". I had the same subs in my VE ute so should punch nicely being slightly overpowered.
Don't need a big box, and only take 425WRMS but hit hard in a sealed box.
