couple swap questions. more questions start at #4

Post by krc21 » Mon Aug 18, 2008 4:57 pm

ok so
1. Is the fuel line from the tank to engine bay a must from the srt. i have an 03

2. If the clutch master and slave cylinder have been disconnected does that mean they are bad? and no longer going to work? or can i use my stock?

3. Since the stage one pcm is out right now can i go have my key skimmed into it now or will it then not work with my car? will i have to wait till everything is installed then tow it to the dealership and have them do it?

4. Ok i have an engine from an 05 i have a stage one computer from a different car and i want to use my keys from my 03. how will i acomplish this.

5. with the stage one i believe you only need the yellow line from the vacuum solenoid hooked up but not the blue and green. is this correct?

so far thats all. the biggest hurdle right now is finding out what to do with my tranny. have the guy i bought it from put it back together for 350 or buy the pwerks stage one for 1750. with all that im looking to still buy the 350 is seeming like the option but not sure how reliable that will be.

1. No, it's the same. Actually it might not be the same, but you don't need it.

2. You mean if they were disconnected from each other? They should be fine, but you may want to explain what exactly you mean. And no, you can't use yours.

3. You should be able to, but I believe you need your SKIM module as well. I may be wrong, so don't hold me to it.

Hey Hey
You will need to have the stage 1 install into the car to have it program to your vin.When we did ours we had them do two the stock 04 and a stage 1.The stage was in were it should be when they did the stock they just unplug it from the stage 1 to the stock.The clutch we can't help with but the fuel line ours is a 2000 and we used the stock line from the tank to the front and then we used the srt line from that line to the rail.

You will need the fuel line (it is actually pretty cheap) due to a bend which avoids the coolant overflow tank unless you attempt to bend your current line, but there is a risk of breaking it.

We made our own fuel line. Then again, we are using an aftermarket coolant bottle. But really, just go buy some fuel line and some barbs and make your own.

Yes but you have to have the car there with the pcm in the pcm in we had 2 done and a few other thing and I paid 500.00.but if you only are going to have just the pcm it should be under 300

I showed proof of purchase just to ease things over as well. Mine cost $120 for 1 hour of labor and it took the guy 15 minutes with the directions I gave him.

if you use a brand new stage one, you should be able to plug it in and drive.

Hey Hey
4)yes all they will reprogram the S1 to your vin # when they do that every will be on your 03 key.We had a S1 and a stocker program to my vin,so far the S1 works great have not tryed the stocker.Oh the stock one is a 04 and I don't remember what year the S1 is but it has to be a 04 or 05
5)when you get the car running let me know and I will send you what has to be done .When we first got ours running we only got 5lb of boost.we are at work but we will send you how we did it but you will get low boost .we will have to see how the lines are set up now but get all the bugs out first .
