do you have everything you need??

pedal box/pin and clutch pedal
clutch
ecu
interior surround
clutch cable
etc...
?

PHoeNiX · 05-02-2007, 10:11 AM

ya. as far as i know. lol

im getting it from a member here. full conversion.

Dezza · 05-02-2007, 05:16 PM

I might be able to lend a hand. I don't have many tools either though. Do you have the spigot bearing, clutch spring (you can get away without the spring but the pedal will end up sitting ridiculously high), and the clevis/bushes for where the clutch cable hooks to the pedal box?

PHoeNiX · 06-02-2007, 12:12 AM

yeah dude,
has everything. buyin from sk8n ed.
out from his ED, into my EF. says complete setup, so am assuming it entails everything and not a cent has to be paid on other pieces...

yeah...ive heard that sum ppl have taken a sec or so of their 1/4 mile....

$450 from SK8N ED. lovin it!

plus a few slabs of whatever people decide on on the day. lol.

bit of food too....

im still needing help guys, i got ea silver so far possibly, any guys who have tools and the knowhow? c'mon....booze is involved. lol.

either at my place, or to save travel and carting tools i could go to someones place.

Dezza · 06-02-2007, 04:40 PM

You'll need a different gear boot as the EA-ED style won't fit on EF. $450 sounds like a good price. My conversion cost $500, plus a paid an extra $50 for a manual ECU. I must warn you though, even though I did this conversion, efgiar did most of the work!

Damo · 06-02-2007, 08:33 PM

i have the tools and the know how but no license. Also not willing to do a pedal box swap. :P

thats cool man, i just need a hand in doing it, so if you are cool for all but pedal box, we just need sum1 else willing to do it is all.

is it a bit** of a job or something??

eb91xr6 · 07-02-2007, 01:49 AM

hang on a sec maby i didnt read it all but ED into a EF

correct me if wrong

you will need
gear boot $40 ebay
surround -
malwood pin as peddle box is different $85 posted mallwood
spigot bearing, repco $12
ecu for the bbm in manual -

but i may be wrong, but that is my opinion, doing a 5 speed convertion isnt hard, malwood pin makes life easy, takes me around 11 houres on my own, i think the worst part is taking off the starter motor

before putting it in its a good idea to cheek the clutch fork for any cracks as i put mine in and found it was cracked :( so it had to come down again, new clutch is a good idea as i did in the almost gone stock one i got in 2 weeks so my box went up 3 times in 2 weeks, take your time and cheek, cheek, fit, cheek, new cable is a good idea too.

would help you but im in SA but good luck getting me up before 12

As eb91xr6 says, it'll only be around $40. It's because EA-ED use different centre consoles to EF-EL

efgiar · 07-02-2007, 05:53 PM

mal wood pin is the way to go. u dont need a boot straight away so just leave that for now but i really do recommend a mal wood pin, as dezza knows its the way to go or u can use allthread and bend your pedal box

Yes, definately don't go a dodgy homemade pin. You'll regret it later

PHoeNiX · 07-02-2007, 08:39 PM

yeah. ill look into gettin one. any idea where i could get one from?

Dezza · 07-02-2007, 10:32 PM

Actually I've just found out that I may be having a dinner for my sister on that weekend as she is moving away from home, so I probably won't be at Melbourne for that weekend. Sorry about that. Any weekend after that should be fine

would like to have a few people there. depending how the funds go, ill get the boot at the same time...see what happens with that too. ill definately get the pin though, $100 to my front door, so hell yeah...

PHoeNiX · 11-02-2007, 08:45 AM

awesome,

gettin a pin for $50 from a member...i love these forums....everyone is ********** great....

does the difference in the centre consoles mean im gonna need to modify my console or just get an EF/EL boot???? theres an XR boot on ebay for like $60-80 atm...what do people think?

or are there universal ones that will fit from like autobarn/supercheap etc?

or anyone got an XR boot they want to offload to me??

: lol

interested if anyone does have a boot. also, is there noone else that wants booze and a bbq for a bit of help?

efgiar · 11-02-2007, 11:36 AM

hey mate, 60-80 is expoensive, u can get them cheaper from ford. like 40 iirc xr/gli are the same.

Dezza · 11-02-2007, 05:36 PM

You won't need the whole console, just the boot. The boot will clip into the same holes that the auto selector surround clipped in

eb91xr6 · 11-02-2007, 07:04 PM

i would cheek the ECU if u have a ED one will it work with a EF

efgiar · 11-02-2007, 07:25 PM

ed wont work with ef because ef have coilpack!!!!!!! not to mention smart lock! must be an ef ecu if u have an ef, and an el ecu if u have an el!

MADED-6 · 11-02-2007, 11:05 PM

hey ed have smartlock lol. and i may be able to lend a hand ill see wat happens when the time comes.
cheers josh.

poomba · 12-02-2007, 01:50 PM

resistor trick??? that will work for smartlock, but not for the fact that your car has a coil pack, and an ed has a dizzy... you will need an ef ecu, or it wont start. Mind this tho, you can still use your auto ecu, and it will drive fine, but the revs will "hang" between gears.
