Thanks for the 'Welcome Words' guys. I hope to have the car on the road soon, and move on to make it perfect while driving!
As for now, I'm asking for a bit of help from those more experienced thank I with the 964 engine. With the last owner, everything functioned, but I still feel there are loose ends. As we are wrapping up the wiring and turning things on and off, I want to make sure I'm making all the right moves in regards to the engine and ECU. Primarily, I'm concerned with the large amount of disconnected leads and connectors as well as the pin out. While I have the pin out for the main 55-Pin connector to the ECU, I don't know if there is a corresponding diagram/list/etc that shows the routing of the leads. For the other 3.6 guys out there, any information/diagrams/notes/etc really helps if you can spare them! I'm still gathering information and reading other users progress threads, but would really appreciate a 'heads up'. Attached thumbnail(s) |

He hasn't been on this site in a few years. I heard he sold it to a guy who put a Subaru 6 in it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

Hey guys, long time no post!
I garaged this project a few years back, but hopping back on it. Either looking to complete it myself, or send it to various other builders to 'Finish her off'. Hope to be updating this today / tomorrow. Not much has changed, just work and starting a business got in the way. This car is so close to being complete, it literally hurts to look at it. I feel like if I can just get it fired up, switches and electronics working, it will be on the road in a matter of weeks. Let's see! |

True, I do have the entire shop, but I think this calls for an experts touch. As passionate as I am, I can really screw up that 3.6 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) |

Hi guys, writing this blog entry in hope to get some motivation to keep continuing on the project.
The car was sidelined once again last year, and I was resolved to have it finished by a professional shop. I originally took it to CPR in Fallbrook, CA to have them look at what needed to be done. I'm sad to say I wasn't very impressed with their previous work, but much less so with their communication, sales team, and customer interaction. After about 6 weeks of stalling, missed emails, etc. I was finally able to recoup the car. After that incident, both my Dad and I are determined to get this up and running over the next few weeks. After about a month of reorganizing, finding parts etc, we got to work last weekend and put in a good 8 hours on the biggest of the tasks, electrical. Really proud at how this is coming together, and as well as amazed how easy it is when you have two people who know these cars very intimately. In the course of a day, we were able to have the headlights, turn signals, hazards, and starter working. It's pretty cool to hear it turn once again with the high-torque starter, I had forgotten how that sounds. In addition, we decided to nix the idea of having the ECU in the back, and have begun relocating it to the cab below the seats (expecting the passenger seat, but any input would be appreciated). Going back to his ranch today, and hope to finish where we left off last week, connecting the aux oil cooler and relay, fuel pump relay, and begin reconstructing the harness with the dash loosely mounted. |

Sidenote here:
Seems as though my Dad is keeping his project car as retro as possible, so the 2.9 I built (previously listed in this thread) is going into his car. Really proud of that engine, and it should looks great in his real -6. I think the only change he plans on is using his rebuilt transmission that already has a Velios on it and adding a Clewett engineering ignition system. |
