Re: TR magna Knock Sensor ???

howdy sigtool...i know this is old and you probably have this sorted by now but i thought i'd share my thoughts anyways incase anyone else is interested....the engine will run no worries without the knock sensor ( or oxygen sensor for that matter ) as the standard ecu just reverts to a safe mode ( i...

Re: balance shaft removal

cheers for the input...i reckon i'll keep 'em in as this particular engine is going to be turbo so no monster cam or angry idle and i like a 'happy' engine...unless anyone who has 'been there, done that' convinces me otherwise... :thumpsup:

4g63t starion engine into triton?

hi all, my father has a 4x4 triton and wants me to do a 'go hard' engine swap similar to my truck (4g54, hi comp, na, efi). i have both a 4g54 and a 4g63t (out of a starion) in my shed...the 4g63t is a wide block so will bolt up but i'm a little worried about drive-train(5 speed manual 4x4) and also...

Re: please help me
