What a mare. I bet they're wishing they just done the bloody cam belt now. Serves them right. I hope they make a right loss because of this. Hopefully teach them a lesson.

Something inside rubbed against the oil pump housing then blocked the oil ways for pump and seized it solid which snapped the belt so it was fucked from day i got it pretty much and was waiting to let go

Will the 4 ecu run the 6 engine? I'm not sure it can....

Yep all 4-8 engines fit straight in it, just gotta swap all my auxcillerys onto it, been on mlr and theres hundreds of threads about it being fine, only need the newer ecu if you want it mapped

Nice one, hope it all goes well :)

Yeah you need a 5 onwards ecu to remap

Me to mate just want a car again, since it was having a engine swap a newer version was the perfect upgrade and now more power can be added in future now :)

Booo! Just enjoy your car for what it is Ben, save your money and spend it on proper services like good brand oil and filters and axle oil

I have just ordered all new oil for it etc so hopefully once its all done it should last a while this time, misses is hopefully getting a evo 5 in near future once this ones sorted aswell lol
