Thanks for the information. Was just wanting to make sure the turbo kits were interchangable between 94-2004.3.8L motor, yes, but the external balancing went away starting in 1001. Further, the 94-97 motors were single port heads and intakes. The 99-04's were split port heads and intakes.
Quick Question: Northern 2-core radiator Direct Fit 3.8 Or 4.6 With 4.6 Hoses And Expansion Tank?Been driving the car a bit lately. Yesterday it was 92 degrees and was driving around to run errands. Recall that early in the buildup to the twin turbos, I pulled the stock radiator and installed a Northern 2-core radiator which was a drop in fit for an automatic transmission. For a stick shift, just plug the two transmission cooler holes. Was not using the A/C and still use the stock V-6 radiator fan and shroud. Anyway, the coolant temps barely hit 180 degrees after 30 minutes of driving. Could not be happier with that setup.
On another issue, have been recently and intermittently having an issue with a warmed up restart. Turned on the key and all electronics were working along with gaining fuel pressure. Battery great. However, the starter was totally dead and would not engage or even click, click, click. Turned the key off and on several times, even pulled the key out of the ignition switch. Waited a minute or so, turned the key on, and the starter turned over and the motor fired right up. This has happened 3-4 times in the last 6 months. Believe that the starter relay in the engine bay, now 17 years old, needed replacement. $17 at Autozone. Hope that turns out to be the (cheap) fix. As the issue was intermittent, will not know for maybe several months and a number of warm starts to find out if the issue is now resolved.
Oh Ok! Didn't Think Of Splicing It Into Upper Hose. Wish I New That Last Fall When I Replaced Rad. Wanted Multi- Core. Oh-well Next Time. Thanks For That Thought.Direct fit with one exception. The radiator does not come with a coolant filler neck and cap. However, they do sell a filler neck and cap as a separate item which will splice into the stock rubber upper radiator hose.

Now have an unwanted SCT X3. Am willing to sell it for $175 plus shipping. If no one is interested, will sent it back to the company for a credit. If interested, send a conversation with email address.
Ain't Technology Grand!!! Remember The OL'e Day's. Dwell Meter, Timing Light And A Screw Driver To Set The Carb. LOLStruggling with volts vs Fahrenheit on the EGT gauge. Never simple. Currently have an EGT probe that came from RPM Proformance. It was plugged into an LMA box that was giving me data logged EGT numbers. Removed the box and rewired the signal imput into the X4 data logger. However, this unit, when connected to the SCT Livelink data logging software only produced volts, not Fahrenheit degrees which my brain can easily handle. So, for the last few days, been working with SCT tech for them to map the K type thermocouple to generate a map that would translate volts into degrees F. No bueno. Several calls back and forth and they may have given up by now.
Moving right along, SCT does sell an EGT kit with the thermocouple and Analog wire which can be connected with the SCT Firewire which is plugged into the X4. SCT also provides a formula which supposedly converts volts to degrees F. So, at this point, have purchased the SCT EGT kit and should install over the weekend. At this point, will likely force SCT to support their EGT kit and formula to spit out degrees instead of volts. The crazy part of all of this is that the X4 will produce degrees, but the Livelink software (with the same setups) will not.
And the beat goes on.
