  • lol well got the old motor out, bottom end kit for my z6 is on its way, hopefully gonna get this thing going. I haven't had a car to drive for about 3 months now and barely any time to work on it so I might just give up on doing it and have Wryann and VIP Performance install it and get it running for me haha.

    Anyone have some links to a obd0-obd1 process?
    I just want to see if anyone has a particular favorite and most helpful one.
  • For the obd0 to obd1 goto a junk yard and cut a obd1 harness off a car with plenty of wire length. Then cut all the connectors off your odb0 harness and now you're forced to get it done! Get as many wiring diagrams that you can for both obd1 and obd0 ecu pins. It's really pretty simple once you get down to it.

    yeah i have a z6 harness in the garage, just need to find some diagrams and what not. I also have a conversion harness which will make it much easier lol.

    Any updates bro?
    You get it going yet? If you had a way to bring it to me I'd do it for you.
  • I was just about to ask a few questions actually haha.
    Well to start I've been so ridiculously busy with school and work I've barely had time to get to work on my wagon. Sucks not having a car :(
    Anyways, Im sitting here soldering my connections (just did my obd1 distributor along with the wiring for my conversion harness). I went to
    look at my engine with the harness the other day and realized that the distributors have multiple different plugs. Like the obd0 one has a round secondary plug but the obd1 distributor has multiple square plugs, what do I do about this? I'll post pictures if necessary to get what I mean.

    but as a positive side I got more parts to put into the wagon once I've got it running haha.
    Got me a center console and arm rest! :)
  • Dad's making me put the wagon in the shop, so I'm about to spend a crap ton of money and that will only be the beginning of it.
    There goes my tax returns lol. So Wryann at VIP will be seeing me shortly haha.
  • Well took the motor into the shop and should have it done at the end of next week. Then goes in the wagon to get it installed and i'll finally have a car again. But before the wagon goes in I have to put the suspension on and the wheels. Got some tires on the rims btw. Got 3 black and 1 silver haha. Weather hasn't been good enough to paint my last wheel so hopefully i'll do that soon. But until then ill be rockin one silver rim haha.

    Got half of my suspension on today, can't find my front coilover bolt! fuuuhhhh.
    But I got my rear camber kit, LCA, and coilover on one side, then the front coilover and camber kit on the same side.
    Hopefully have this done by friday then its going to wryann.

    Wagons coming out of the shop tomorrow or thursday, bout time!
  • asnamasnasnamasn Wagonist
    bout to put pics up but i decided to wait till i get things buttoned up, can anyone link me to how to remove the interrior?
  • asnamasnasnamasn Wagonist
    Well its been a while.. And a LOOOOOT of money spent. But! Its finally up and running and boosted!
    Right now its only pushing 8lbs, 200hp 171 tq. Running a z6 with a rebuilt head, FJ bottom end kit, 2.5" custom exhaust
    and a CX racing turbo kit (t3/t4).
    Its not low enough/ at equal heights quite yet and yes.. I do have one silver wheel due to the weather not cooperating in
    time for me to put them on the wagon haha.
    Don't mind the placement for the HID's, I just needed them in and out of the way before I put the turbo kit in, I still have a LOT to do.
    Interior will be my next main focus which I need to paint it, put my arm rest in, clean it, re-do the headliner, and a little more audio stuff.
    The list goes on and on with this thing but I need to save up some cash cause I'm flat out broke right now. Heres a few shots I took right before it started raining.

    Wow, I just read this whole thread and all the problems you ran into. Glad you finally got her going!
  • asnamasnasnamasn Wagonist
    lol yeahh about time. I've actually went through a lot more problems that I just stopped coming here to ask the answers for cause I wouldn't really get replies so I just took it to a shop. I've added up all the money i've spent and its quite the pretty penny to say the least lol.

    and NOW I can't pass DEQ... WTF lol. Im trying to find someone who can weld a cat on for me so that way im running my high flow cat off my down pipe then a regular cat. Hopefully that works lol
