Okay cheers for all your knowledge boys!!

Okay cheers for all your knowledge boys!'

Okay, so I have a few questions regarding the beautiful 4age. If I want to replace my bigport with a smallport, will I need a completely new loom or are the looms rather similar and only require a little tweaking..? Obviously a smallport would bolt in where my bigport has been, but would a 20v Silvertop 7rib block bolt directly in..? Theoretically speaking, would a 20v Silvertop block, 20v conrods, 16v pitsons and a bigport head bolt right up and fit directly into where my average currently bigport sits?? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

All sorted!! Took a good sparky clean and a charged battery to get her sorted but its done!! Cheers to you lads for your help, bunch of good cunts <3

Ah yeah, haha I was thinking hmmmmmm condenser?? Okay, i'll give it a check once the battery is charged up. Cheers.

sorry what's IGN?? And where would I find my condenser, engine transplants makes everything harder to find.

thats what I was thinking, I've had it on 3cylinders before but it never sounded as lumpy/helicoptery and was driveable, this I wouldnt dare to drive because it feels like i'm ramming a knife up and under my fingernails, am going to try the sparkys now, give em a clean up etc and try the when the battery is charged. What could I have done whilst installing a sound system to completely mess with the whole engine man?! 0.o

The biggest pain in the ass is the fact that it was running sweet as before hand, and now that i've messed with it, somehow by doing a stereo, its running like shit. I'm charging it up as we speak but only replaced the sparkplugs about 4weeks ago, I seriously didn't think I could fuck up this big by just putting sounds in to be honest. Mine definitely splutters and shudders, the whole car vibrates like a jackhammer. God this is frustrating -.-

Tried the grounding this morning and it didn't make any difference, had to jump start it again. Could hear the starter motor clicking away before jumping it. Still sounds lumpy as hell, like a bloody subaru EW, and refuses to idle, have to hold my foot on the gas to keep it running. Going to try seek out a fuel injection plug this morning, but any other ideas?? Cheers.

Haha learning a shitload for the future mate?! Yeah battery's been there when the engine transplant was done. Will have to borrow a mates multimeter eh. You've been a great help dude, will let you know how it all works out tomorrow Cheers again!!

My battery is in my boot unfortunately I might just sand down the earth cable point and see if that makes a difference. Or relocate it to a better place. It needs to go on an unpainted part of the chassis eh?? Shit I didn't realise so much was dependent om the ground wire?!

So its cylinder 3 that isn't running, have had it on 3 a while ago and was the plug at fault there. Just stuck it down and was fine. Tried amplifier idea and that didn't change it but yes I have fiddled with engine ground wire, how would that affect it??

Have been wiring up a sound system for the past few days, been starting the car each day, went to drive today, car didn't want to start, had to jump start it to get it going, once it was running I had to hold my foot on the gas to keep it running and when I took it off the car died. The revs took ages to pick up when I put my foot down, didn't want to drive it at all though. Thinking its on 3cylinders s it shake and sounds like a subaru and my 3rd cylinder injection plug is loose and stuffed so that may be the problem?? Can anyone else give me a hand diagnosing it?!
