ok, well in the haste of getting lots and lots done on my car this week, i've finished painting the engine bay got most of the wiring in and the dash pad is ready to go back togther, all the engine lines were placed back ect and i was all ready to dump the motor in on thursday but after a long time fiddeling with it on the engine crane we couldnt get it to go mount on the engine mounts

so wondered what was going on, so i walked over to my other car the one the engine came out of and guess what the engine mounts and lower crossmember are way different, angles and mount types ect now i no theres a lot of people out here who have done engine conversions have any of you ever incountered this problem?? how did you overcome it?

because the only way i can think i can fix it is to take the crossmembers out and swap them but that means i gota rip the engine all the way out to swap em and its a big job lol cbfed with it atm but im stuck and nothing else can progress.

ps, ill update some pics in my other thread sometime today or tommorow

well my shell is from a 97 turbo model and my engine is from my 94 na+t, i wouldnt know where to start to fabricate the mounts, looking at them they look like the engine would sit in the right spot but it doesnt it sits way higher so much so the bonnet wouldnt be able to close

    • Actually looks like a Nitrous setup now 馃槅
    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 馃槑 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
