ok what parts do i need for a hybrid, and would it be ok to use this with my ATX witha tranny cooler.

Green1999CSVT · 11-26-2005, 12:29 PM

I am doing a full 3.0 swap into my CSVT. What do I need to do with the IMRC? I have read you leave it hooked up to a spring (not what I want) and also that you can just leave it off and not wired and not get a CEL. What have you guys done?

I am also looking to extract the ATX bushing from the crank rather than cut it off. I have packed the hole with grease, but I need a better weapon to attack it with than my 17mm socket and extension. Any ideas other than cut it off or is that the most common solution?

Only way around the IMRC trick is to get a chip burnt from ADC that will eliminate the IMRC and give you the timing you need down low.

As far as the bushing. I've aways cut it off. I'm not sure what a socket and extension have to do with the bushing though. Your suppose to get a dowel and tap it in. That pushes the bushing out.

I was substituting the socket for the dowel...will a wood dowel work? I was trying to avoid grinding, seems rather crude.

What have you typically done with the IMRC on your swaps? Don't the ADC chips cost close to $500? Iwon't have much more than that in the whole swap, maybe best bet is to leave the IMRC hooked up, but just cut off the cable?

so would a 2001 atx escape engine have a problem fitting in a 99 atx cougar
and what would i need to change when im putting the engine in?

99cougarsupreme · 12-28-2006, 09:39 PM

I read all the post in here just asking for you opinion (those with the 3L). Whats the better engine to put in, the 01+ engines or the earlier model?! and the car as well, Taurus/Sable/Escape Thanks

I just realized this will be an issue with me. My Cougar is return-style, and the 3L's are returnless, right? I was planning on doing the full 3L, using 3L manifolds and all. How will the fuel system affect this?

Custom fuel rail FTW.

You'll need to build a custom fuel rail. It sucks to build but it can be done.
