      @@kikiscustomsmaybe it has a soft rev limit in neutral like most auto ecus do, and since it has the auto ecu still I’m guessing it thinks it’s in neutral and is engaging the neutral soft rev limit. But that’s just a guess really.

    This is so sick. My big project rn is to put an m113k into my 96’ toyota supra shell. Still looking for a wrecked 55amg car for the parts but how did you get the ecu to let it work and also for the cd009 trans did you have your adapter custom made or is there someone that supplies them?

    Congratulations. Well done!
    Your metal fab work is on point!
    I just have 1 question. When you hit the NOS, why doesn't enter warp speed like the movie The Fast & The Furious? Make sure "Warning!!! Danger to Manifold" light doesn't come on. If it does, your passanger floor board is subject to come flying off. Lastly now that you got a manual transmission, you need to learn how to properly shift gears. You're over here granny shiftin', not double clutchin' like you should. Hahaha
    Joke's aside, you did excellent work. Im very impressed. The door panels are pretty cool as well. It's all around a BAD ASS build. You should be very proud of yourself. 👍

      @kikiscustoms  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I bought an adapter plate from xf motorsports to connect a cd009 to that engine, but the guy made it 2 millimeters off so it doesn’t really align. It ended up blowing a the trans. I would suggest using a bmw trans and custom adapter plate already made for it. There a guy swapping his sl500 rn with a bmw trans on TH-cam
