All right folks!
Finally going to make the move to bring back my CLS-6 from the dead. I first bought the car 1 year ago with 100k miles and a CEL light. Came to find that 2 cylinders were low on compression (burnt exhaust valves and piston rings that didn't hold compression) as well as a few other small problems. The clutch is slipping like no tomorrow, the MPG is about 10, and the car is just about on its last legs.
This thread is primarily intended for me to gain some valuable insight that any member may be able to give, but it could turn into a build thread of some sort provided I have the time to document the whole process while balancing work and school.
So lets start with a parts list.....all parts will be new unless otherwise stated
1. used JDM inspire type s j32a engine
2. aasco lightweight flywheel
3. LUK OEM clutch kit
4. xlr8 62a motor mounts
5. hybrid racing shifter cable bushings
6. OEM shifter cables
7. stainless steel clutch line
8. OEM timing belt kit
9. OEM rear main seal
10. x-s power stainless headers
Main concerns I have are hooking up the USDM 6-speed ecu to the JDM engine and finding a way to plug the extra coolant outlet that the JDM inspires had. Anyone with experience doing this swap or who could chime in with any advice is welcome to post! Thanks!
