Looking for your opinions on the 2.5T vs the newer 3.2 (SI6) motors.
Need a new ride for my daughter and trying to figure out which motor would be the least headache since she is off at college.
We have a 2006 XC70 with the 2.5T and it has been great so far and has ~190k on it. Normal...
Hey TB!
I am a little stuck on removing the rear driveshaft flange from the rear differential. The "Cup" that is the driveshaft flange sits in is impossible to get a prybar it to get some leverage to pop it out of the cup.

Interesting Oil Analysis for a very high mile 740 at 489,663 miles!
Try 11,000 a mile interval next time! Great summary. Details in the link.
In summary 7/9 world domination as always...

7/9 Luxury and performance. The only thing getting crushed here is your hopes and dreams in the losing lane :rofl:
Seriously well done Rich!

Draw you own conclusions, but this a really good deep dive on oil performance and head to head comparisons. Lengthy, but you can read it all or skip to the bottom line.
FWIW I thought #4 was fascinating being a "green" product vs conventional oils...

Raising the game for the 7/9...
LS swappers, what have you all used with success on a 7/9 NA build?
I have tried multiple stock GM manifolds, but they have either dumped onto the steering shaft or come out too wide and hit frame rail...
At this point, I think generic block huggers are the way to go?
Thanks!
This conversion has been a longtime in the making. Thanks for the information and support of the TB members and LS1Tech Hybrid conversions along the way that have provided guidance and motivation.
Most all updates will be in text and/or video blogs on YouTube. With Photobucket gone, I have...
Honest I searched... And could not find a definitive answer except for fuel rails.
Has anyone used an adapter fitting from the drivers side under hood hard fuel line to AN?
It looks like the fitting is a M12x1.25 bubble flare compression, like a brake line..?
The closest I could get to...
Hopefully easy question that has been eluding me. I figure someone else has run into the situation I am in for hydraulic clutch lines.
What is the thread size/pitch for the 7/9 Turbo clutch master cylinder outlet?
I need to run 4AN line from the clutch master cylinder to TO bearing and...
I searched... Amazingly found nothing. The 745 has the typical battery tray rust hole.
Who sells quality metal for 7/9 battery trays / passenger inner fenders? Keyword quality.
This is probably a very common repair...
Thanks!
We have plenty of gifted fabricators and board manufacturing companies here...
Someone please step up and make Brembo mounts for the 7/9 crowd.
The NEW 4 Pot Brembo calipers are dirt cheap for what they are at @122 each shipped. I've run these on 3 other cars and love them, the feel...
Solid!

A lot of time and money was spent on that complete overhaul!
Look at this wealth of Aisin manual transmission swap info!!! 960 owners and 5 cyl swappers rejoice!!

So much spotty information about the 7/9 swaps to LS... Is there a thread or website hiding that covers a whole conversion?
Many have done it, but there seems to be an information vacuum on things like electrical or clearances.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
