Today i by-passed the heater core (leaking)


EFI loom: in the process of being extended



Today i took front end guards off for various reasons
-Mock fit loom
-Check for rust






And one for good measure

EFI loom: in the process of being extended

I remember doing that to my loom. So many wires to connect. It is all worth it in the end when you end up with a nicely fitting loom.

[TVM006]

HEY COTTEES!

You got measurements for that loom? lol

And what are those fuses for?

[Cottees]

You got measurements for that loom?

Na, no measurements. I ran the loom in the car while it was apart, cable tied it, and and used that as what lengths to use. The pic below is how I did it, but was at an early stage when I was going to run the loom through the firewall where the AC pipes went.


I later changed my mind and ran it through above the wheel well. That is when I needed to extend the loom. I pretty much just cut off the ECU plugs, used as much of another loom as I could, and joined them together.

And what are those fuses for?

This is the wiring diagram I made for how I attached the Magna loom to the Sigma loom. It has what fuses I used, and what amperage I used.

[TVM006]

Thanks dude, i looked at the diagram... then realized im using TP stuff! hahaha

[TVM006]

Got my new o2 sensor put plug on it and also found the right sized nut for it



Currently trying to decide whether making an adapter throttle body plate for the plenum chamber i have now.. or buy another plenum that is already modified and has the right mount for magna throttle body.. problem with the later is im pretty sure my modified inlet has an extra water gallery so it might not be a good idea... Damn

[84GKSIG]

take pictures of the flanges of the modified and non modified intakes one on top of the other

what extra water gallery are you talking bout?

[TVM006]

Update.

[HEMI26]

Nice man

[TVM006]

Thanks

I'm at a crossroad, im getting so much negativety from a lot of ppl i see on a daily basis in my area. All are discouraging me from doing up my siggy.
I really want to but at the same time i see that most of money is going towards her and i need efi and paint job done b4 round Jan-Feb this upcoming year.
I just donno what i should do in my situation.

I mean hell i plan to stop spending so much money after i finish efi conversion and paint job, but will i regret it when i could buy another car 'better' car?

I love my Sig, But when it comes down to it i need a car that is going to be reliable as a daily.. being at 320,000 odd km's i just dunno if worth all this money going into the car when it may not last i just dunno.

I would love to prove all these ppl wrong but at the same time, if i go through with it and it dies in the butt within a year or 2 im gonna look like such a ... you know what..

Any thoughts

[rob020]

sigma's.. you love em or hate em thats for sure.. but i find myself making fun of people that do up
commodores and holdens, skylines and s13's too these days. theyre like assholes, everyones got one..

you can always put your motor in a galant for instant respect

[TVM006]

True.

Keep in mind i will be on my P's so 4g54 EFI in a Galant is not possible legally...

[84GKSIG]

If you really love the car like really love it, then what others say or do shouldn't matter because you have an opportunity to take something that's there and add a part of you to it, and as long as you have its allowed to break down but once again if you really do love it, you'll fix it, it may be alot of money to start off with, but even if you sold it now 98% of cars being sold in car yards as walk in drive out packages still end up needing some work so you have 2 options here.

sell the gsr that you could of made your own and been happy with
or buy something else every one else has and probably end up spending more due to neglected services


your engine can die but you can replace that but if a pet does, that cant quite be replaced.
i copped quite a bit of shit for spending so much time on my car by friends and others but im using that as motivation to show them that with a little time and love you can have something different something that represents you something you wont get from just buying a regular car and driving it, it inst a chase for power or speed or respect of others it should be just what you enjoy man
M.B

[rob020]

+1

i started with my first scorp when i was 16 and had no mechanical knowledge/experience... i put 4 engines through that scorpion i loved it so much, untill the rust got too bad... so i bought a better one since then ive had galants lancers and a sigma, ive spent heaps on car parts.. but the first part i bought for my first scorpion is on my lancer now... its only a gearknob but it holds abit of sentmental value to me... i guess what im saying is i can justify spending large amounts of money on parts cos im ALWAYS gunna have something astron powered

my mum tells me i should save up and buy a better car.. i say there are no better cars, if i had more money i'd spend it on this one

also, im in tas.. but are you sure you can't have efi on your p's? is it because it needs a mod plate and you cant drive a modified car on your p's or something? does efi really need to be engineered?

[dvsfin]

i am on my P's and i drive an engineered car...the rta said it is fine because it is still n/a

[HEMI26]

man keep the sigi it will be better than most of there cars and you wont be the same as em

but at the same time a 2nd cheap running car you don't have to care about (paint job etc) isnt a bad idea

[TVM006]

Thanks yeah im keeping the Sig.

I just wont rush the EFI conversion as planned.

[webby]

I have a friend like that, he always says "Mitsubishi's are shit, they're only good to be paddock bashers because they're gutless and fuck up too easy," I ask whether that opinion is based on the general impression that people have or on experience, he goes "Experience" then gets angry when I ask for proof

Looks to be coming along reasonably well, nice to know I'm not the only dodgy bastard with a bypassed heater

[TVM006]

EFI a no go.

.Changing Carby to a 34 ADM
.Got Exhaust system to put on
.balance shaft removal
.head change (maybe cam)
.Getting Paint Job
.Polish peppers
.Getting Suspension and steering sorted out

the steering is so scary atm!!!

[HEMI26]

hey man i was gunna ask how the exhaust was going did ya get the pacy's painted yet

[TVM006]

Ive just rubbed the extractors back ready for a paint up sometime during this week hopefully

[HEMI26]

cool man will be good to see when are ya gunna attack the balance shaft's?

[TVM006]

Yeh for sure dude!

When Dad stops using it as his daily lol

Hopefully between now and end of January i get most of that list done

[HEMI26]

lol ya get that

can ya get some pics up when you do it as it will most likely done b4 me and it will be a great help

[ISKA8]

HEY AZZ WHATS CRACKIN,WAS READING A BIT OF YOUR POST AND MY OPINION,LIKE I TOLD YOU WHEN WE MET LAST TIME,IS TO KEEP HER MATE.DONT LET NO 1 TELL YOU ANY DIFFERENT.AS FOR THE PAINT JOB WHEN YOUR READY WE CAN ORGANISE EVERYTHING..THIS TIME YOU'LL ENJOY THE DRIVE DOWN HERE IM STILL BLOODY TIRED FROM THAT DRIVE.

[TVM006]

Soooo.....

the Sigma is Dad's current daily and will be so until the end of this year.

I'm finding myself changing my mind over and over and i just can't decide.
It pretty much comes down to *money* and how much saving i'll be doing hahaha.

This is where I'm at.

To finish the Sigma to what i want it's gonna cost me prob 3k min.
That inc.
-Paint Job
-Suspension
-Engine rebuild
-Either Twin Sidedraughts OR Microtech EFI ...both N/A

OR I could just buy a VR4 Galant...

Yet to decide, a descent priced Microtech setup has popped up so I'm trying to decide rather than missing out and beating myself up for it in the long run.
