Swap is nearly done.
 
Just gotta throw a new starter in the car and she will be done :D
As far as I know I am the only one around here with this swap, essentially the Regal Turbo Engine, the LDK/LHU, both the same but one has E85 Capability and one doesn't.
But I'm hoping to take it out today, is anyone else cruising around or anything and wanna meet up for a bit in the Southern NH area?

How did it go? Are you on the road again?

Yeah I'm on the road with it now :D
Few minor things like starting it.....I gotta physically power the starter switch, so I'm gonna wire it to the trunk release button or another switch somewhere else.

Yeah I'm on Facebook.
You guys will have to ignore the halfassedness of the car right now.
No front bumper, I have to open the hood to start it, it looks like hell broke loose inside the car, but god damn it moves.

This sensor needed to be modified to work correctly.

Looks like a regular LNF to the naked eye

Higher compression ratio. Different turbo. Bigger oil pan and a lot more. Search what an a20nft is

So what was the starting issue and why did you need to modify the sensor to work? Asking because I may eventually go this route.

I tihnk I messed some wiring up and my starter would not engage.
But the MAP sensor on the Manifold had to be ground on the sides to fit the LNF harness.
I'm sure you can get the pigtails to fit the sensor and splice it in.
Mine jumped time though and now I need a new head....

LDK swap, nice

buildmeanempire 09-12-2013 08:59 PM

Ouch that sucks. How did it work as far as the pcm? Repin or what? Never done a swap and I don't want to buy the short and deal with swapping everything over.

No Repin.
I had my PCM reflashed , mostly for some other issues though, my tune was shitty and I didn't like it...

buildmeanempire 09-12-2013 09:08 PM

Cool. I'm going to keep doing a lot of research on this. I found metal shavings in my oil filter today so this is going to happen eventually just have to get funding.
