DONE!! '02 AXIOM engine switch works!!

[iamironman]

Interesting! So you have an Axiom motor with a VX intake and ECM, correct? Would love to hear about some mileage readings when you get time!

Will post them as soon as available!

Nicely done! Yeah, the Axiom ECU is very different. Doesn’t the Axiom have an electronic throttle that the ECU controls? That’s probably why you were having trouble with the Axiom intake.

Again, Very cool!

That was probably most of the trouble.

shouldnt you break it in before you bury the needle??

great news though!!!

It's a used engine...from a wrecked Axiom with 55k or maybe a little more... don't remember exactly, But I believe it's broke in already, lol.

Oh man that's good,good news,as i always thought the axiom engine can work,of course the ECU & the axiom TOD is unmatcheable but the engine it self is 100% compatible.

Congrats on the good job

Thanks Gussie... keep the faith!!

GOOD ON YOU, IAMIRONMAN!...

Congrats on being the first!.........

Do tell...with the Ax being DI, is it no longer direct injected, because you used the stock intake? Since the injectors are an integral part of the stock intake?
Inquiring minds wanna know...

Thanks LDub.
Yes, it is no longer direct injected...
Ok... Bottom line... it's the whole topside of the VX engine on the Axiom block and heads... intake, TB, just about everything from the heads up to the underside of the hood... I even had to use the valve covers from the VX engine, as the Axiom valve covers were shaped just slightly different and stuff wouldn't fit with the Axiom valve covers on.

OK, was a bit curious...that'll certainly have an effect on HP & mileage...but still, this should be a sweet setup!

What you gonna do with the old ticker?

With as bad as the oil consumption was, and it was BAAAD, I was putting a quart in almost every week... I'm not doing anything with it... scrap it!! Unless you can think of something to do with it?... LOL

excuse the OT for a sec...

A stock tip for anyone interested... Symbol TNRI... it's getting ready to run... I have 2.5 million shares of it... expected to hit .01 within a month... yes thats one penny... if it hits that... I'll have a cool $25,000.... it's @ .0002 right now... that's 2/1000th's of a penny... it's a gold mining company... Do your due diligence and research and buy some... a spare $200 (for a million shares) of mad money could net you $10,000

[CoastieCosta567]

what company is this? i would love to invest and see if it works. can you send me the right direction on this and let me know how i can invest on this?

research it, read EVERYTHING you can get your hands on a stock before investing/trading. Make your OWN decisions... Stocks are a risk, I am not a financial advisor... I am tipping this stoclk ONLY because I am invested in it, but that doesn't mean it is going up for sure. It's just my opinion.

I DO recommend Scottrade for online broker... I think it's the best, cheapest and more bang for your buck... free to start an account, deposit money, and $7 a trade, although for these penny stock, they're what is called a "Pink", there is a small extra fee to buy these types of stocks... for a million shares of this it's $8. Email me if you have any other Q's.

First correct me if I am wrong but isnt an 2002 Axiom not direct injection to begin with? I thought it was just 2004 Axiom and Rodeo. Or at least those are the only Axiom's I have ever considered buying becuase of this.

Two:
Penny stocks are risky. But I am looking into this one.

Right, it's not direct injection, but, it's a different intake and injection from a stock VX... hence the 230HP with the same block/heads (although the heads are slightly diff/redesigned/improved).

As far as the stock tip, please see my previous post, and email me with any Q's.

Nice job on the swap...gives us another option besides Trooper's! If the '02 Axiom you got the donor from has "drive by wire" throttle control...I'm guessing that's probably the killer on why the ECM didn't work.

Yes, only the '04 Axiom has D.I. Didn't know about the Rodeo though.

Well Yeah...I've always wanted an aluminium engine block, as the base for a coffee table...no, I'm serious.

I have a pic somewhere of one, & the owner stored bottles of fine wine in the cylinder bores...

wow, thats horrible...what a waste of a motor lol....

Sorry for the TJ Iron, but you know how it goes...

Young master Jack, I beg to differ...

[nocturnalVX]

One other thing... I buried the needle this evening... and after I hit 100mph, the TOD showed all lights on... like I was doing 4 wheel drive at WELL over 100 MPH...


Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Now THAT is the proper way to get familiar with your ride... gun it, run it, and let it know what is to be expected!

wow, thats horrible...what a waste of a motor lol....

I have to agree. See, "fine" wine is still wine. Now, if it was storing chilled Jager...

Yeah, my oil consumption is really pretty awful. I probably use damn near 5 quarts in between oil changes. So definitely keep me posted on how the new setup works with oil drinking.

Young master Jack, I beg to differ...

Agreed, THAT is badddddaasssssss looking. Me personally, I would have the whole thing coated in Instant Rust to give it that rustic look or maybe have it dipped in liquid black plastic coating. Really cool either way. I love the use of found objects and recycled objects for making new, functional, artistic pieces.
