Did the LED conversion a while ago now but only just got some pics of it.

by **skewy_33** » April 14th, 2009, 11:30 pm

hey man how long did it take you to do the led conversion

by **krisisdog** » April 15th, 2009, 12:05 am

I think one of your LEDs aint workin there Timmy.
Pretty bright blue too, mines a deeper blue than that by a fair amount, either way beats the ol orange!

Yeah, the LED globe on the top right doesn't bother me too much coz it's just the battery gague, still works but it's a little dull.

by **skewy_33** » April 15th, 2009, 10:30 am

did it take long to pull apart the dash to get to the leds?

by **t1MMy** » April 15th, 2009, 10:34 am

Don't have to pull that cluster apart at all. Just remove the standard globes at the back of it and replace them. Hardest part was removing the wiring loom from the bottom rhs of the cluster without snapping the wires.

by **krisisdog** » April 15th, 2009, 11:56 am

I think it takes me all of about 15 minutes to pull the dash down, cluster out, swap lights and put it all back together now lol!

by **skewy_33** » April 15th, 2009, 11:58 am

krisisdog, thats pretty quick if ya do mine ill give ya money for it lol

by **t1MMy** » April 15th, 2009, 12:37 pm

LOL i've done it a few times too, and have mastered the art of pulling the dash out. It does only take about 20 minutes to do once you know where all the screws are and how everything fits into place.

Lol practice buddy, practice. I've had mine apart over a dozen times, and a couple of other cars apart a dozen times between em.
Theres only like 8 screws or so plus the 4 on the cluster, and then a few plugs to clocks/trip/demist and to the cluster, not a lot of there when you think about it..

by **skewy_33** » April 15th, 2009, 1:20 pm

lol id love to practise but wuldnt wanna screw up my car

by **FOR.0EL** » April 15th, 2009, 1:30 pm

freaking your dash looks awesome, i bought a set of the blue LED's only to realise you cant just bull the EL bulb holders out and replace the globes in them, there all soldered in and shit :S:S:S::S:S i no there is a tutorial but far out i just wanna swap all the bulbs over

by **t1MMy** » April 15th, 2009, 1:34 pm

Get an EF cluster then.

by **FOR.0EL** » April 15th, 2009, 1:37 pm

do you no if the ef bulb holders are compatible with the el cluster?

by **Bipolar** » April 15th, 2009, 1:40 pm

by **BLKPHN** » May 2nd, 2009, 10:30 am

Nice work mate, well it was paul's work but well done anyways!

by **EFFalcon** » May 2nd, 2009, 10:56 am

by **LOW_XR** » May 2nd, 2009, 10:57 am

very nice.

by **t1MMy** » May 2nd, 2009, 10:58 am

I only have full exhaust system and T5. No cam, no air intake, nothing. Pretty much a stock AU XR motor.

by **travs ea-xr6** » May 2nd, 2009, 11:00 am

how much power did it make before the j3 chip

by **t1MMy** » May 2nd, 2009, 11:06 am

Shows it on the red line, it's was making about 132kw's

by **LOW_XR** » May 2nd, 2009, 11:09 am

next up is cam? i got stats of my old cam . was awesome lol

by **t1MMy** » May 2nd, 2009, 11:18 am

Yeah it's a more smooth power delivery for sure. S/C will probably be next.

by **travs ea-xr6** » May 2nd, 2009, 11:45 am

was yours a custom grind cam LOW_XR

by **ClassicAU** » May 2nd, 2009, 5:30 pm

C'mon mate, that seems a bit down on power for a boosted 6! :drinks2:

by **galapogos01** » May 2nd, 2009, 7:00 pm

Great result in the midrange there. Very surprised it ran so rich in the midrange with a stock cam!

PM me your details so I can add you to the Owners Gallery - http://www.tiperformance.com.au/owners_gallery.php !! Can send you a sticker too if you like.

Yeah mate tell me about it. One of the reasons I had it tuned and chipped was because of how rich it was running. After putting the foot down hard and pulling up you could smell unburnt fuel and it was strong!!!

Just lost all oil pressure in the motor driving along doing 100 in 5th.

Awesome!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

by **Dansedgli** » May 5th, 2009, 9:16 pm

not good.

by **t1MMy** » May 5th, 2009, 9:25 pm

Nah not good. Taking it to a mates tomorrow see if we can fix it. :cray:

Either the oil pump itself or the shaft that drives the pump is cactus.
