yea ..... for now and since the trany was out

riiiight.....

still, WAY too heavy of a clutch.........

unless you're running 300whp, your stage 3 clutch is just ricer bragging rights


and if your rpms are going up really fast and you're not moving... then it sounds like you installed the clutch incorrectly to boot

So your saying your car revs normally, it just isnt moving as fast as you think it should? From what little info your giving, it does sound like your clutch isnt grabbing right, and yea a Stage 3 clutch is definately overkill for an almost stock LS motor.

If you arent throwing CEL's or having troubles with getting the car to move, I dont know what else to tell you. B18B's arent fast, bolt on's will not make you any faster. The engine is rated at 130-140 hp....with maybe 112 wheel horsepower putting down to the ground.


Are you using the correct ECU?

doch? yea I agree with everyone, if you want some help be a LOT more specific of whats going on exactly. like weskos said, do you have the right ecu?? sounds like somethings up. hes right b18b is fast by any means, but over your stock engine it will seem fast er.

don't give up. Dude thats one thing i'd never do. f**k dat man, don't come back with your tail between your legs. You run that engine, YOU FEED DAT ENGINE MAN! Attack the problem like no tomorrow. If you have to sit down and make a web/chart of what the problems are, what are possible solutions. and even then go back over the basics. Don't let some problems turn ur around man. f**k DAT s**t! You can do this man, if you've come this far installing an engine by your damnself you better be proud nuff to stick it through and fix whats wrong.

That should give you to complete the swap.... quitting is not an option.

Hell yeah, It is depressing to build an expensive motor and do a swap but don't give up. Just ask some questions and we'll try to help you out.
