I have a factory stock 5.7 with a hotwire harness and a flashed 05 ram ECU and manual 6spd transmission (from a challenger). The ECU has a base tune from hotwire. Are these base tunes the actual factory tune you would get on any standard Chrysler vehicle with a 5.7? Or is it an approx tune? I...

i have a Speedhut electronic tach for my 5.7 swap. I've set the pulses/cycle but the needle still has the occasional jumpiness and flicks about waywardly. I've heard of resistors being installed on autometer gauges for noise cancelling but not sure about these? I have run the cable seperate from...

Hey guys, How interchangable are the engines with the harness's? I have a 5.7 hotwire harness, can you use this for a 6.1 or even 6.4 hemi? Or are they different connections, and I assume different computers? Or can you reflashbe a 5.7 computer ? Not planning on it at the moment, just curious...

I'm not sure who know's much about the factory fuel pumps, I have been running a walbro340 in tank pump + corvette wix filter/reg but have been having nothing but dramas with the car running. I have replaced everything but the pump, before I replaced it I do have a brand new pump from a ram...

I'm having issues with my 5.7 running and idling. I turn the key and I can hear the fuel pump prime, I push the start button and the engine fires, runs for a second or two then cough's and dies. I've just had the fuel injectors all professionally cleaned and serviced so I know they are in...

In the process of trying to fire up my 5.7 with 6spd man with a hotwire harness. I have wired in the pushbutton to eliminate the issues with the igntion switch. So I have 12+V supplied to the pink wire from one of the ignition points, and also ran a wire from the ignition to a pushbutton and...

Anyone running the hotwire harness here and also have a oil pressure gauge? I have speedhut gauges which came with a pressure sender that fits perfectly in to the existing oil pressure sender spot. However there is a connector as part of the harness which I assume the ECU needs to see. i am...

Hey Lads, I'm using the hotwireauto harness. I have an ENGINE TEMP SENSOR located just behind the water pump near the intake manifold. On the other side of the engine I have a wire with ENGINE TEMP GAUGE, this also runs to inside the cabin. DO you have to run a separate TEMP sender for those...

Where have you put your computer for your new hemi? I was going to try put it in behind the dash but since getting a vintage air unit, that takes up all of the space. I'm thinking of putting it in a sealed box in the engine bay but looking for ideas before I commit to doing that in case i see a...

Hey lads, I am finishing off my fuel lines atm. I need to shorten the factory fuel line from the injector rails. Having never mucked around with the hi-pressure hose before, is it a matter of just cutting the end off and then attaching the new dorman one I have bought? Or is it a bit more...

Hey Lads, I am trying to install my TR6060 to the back of my 5.7. Everything is factory challenger 6spd: Bellhousing, flywheel, clutch plates, and pressure plate. I have installed the factory Mopar pilot bearing. I used a clutch alignment tool when bolting up both the pressure plate to the...

Who here has done things such as cam upgrades etc with the stock factory computer? What do you use to change the settings? I know the factory cars use Diablo tuners and plug in to the ob2 port. What would u do on a muscle car that has the computer only and no ob2 port?

Simple question, but can the engine wiring harness (hotwireauto) be installed with the engine already in, or is it best to just pull the engine, lay it out and re-install? Cheers

Hey Lads, I tried a search (I'm sure there's a topic on it) but I can't seem to locate it. What is the process for turning the hemi over by hand? Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm trying to build a fuel line system from my tank all the way to the rails. I plan on using the existing fuel line off the fuel rails, but what size connector would I need to fit in to this factory quick disconnect fitting? This is 'Riddlers' setup I believe: I have...

Hey lads, What is everyone's choice of engine oil for these engines? I am running a 5.7 which has the MDS lifters, even if it's not operating would you still need an oil that caters to these style lifters as specified by the factory?

Hey lads, I am trying to confirm if I can just cut the wiring to the solenoids of an MDS 5.7 and leave the MDS lifters in and away I go? Had a read of a couple of topics http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/showthread.php?t=138681 but I just want to double check. Has anyone done this...

Hey guys, I am trying to remove that oil filter thread and it will not budge one bit, I can not get it to budge. It is a standard thread ie. turn left to loosen? Not some sort of reverse thread? I tried what I've read in other forums so far with not luck, now the thread is being destroyed...

Hey lads, ODD request, but has anyone ordered or know someone who has done a conversion and run the Hemi wiring harness that hotwireauto sell that comes with the full EMISSION pack? Perhaps somewhere like California might have to adhere to the same rules? I only ask this as I found out in my...

Hey lads, What is everyone using for a clutch master cylinder for any 6spd conversions. I have the factory challenger 6spd. I even have a factory clutch master cylinder, they have a pretty short throw on them. If I was to put it in the same place or more importantly place it on the factory...

I have searched for this topic on google and found one link but it never really stipulated what parts I finally needed. Surely someone on here has done the mod and can tell me the exact part numbers I need. This topic (see link below) sort of helps me but at the same stage doesn't...

Hey guys, I am doing a full restore on my car, all new wiring. I have bough the hotwire auto hemi wiring harness. That covers all the wiring connectors, fuel pump etc. But I still need to get a harness to do all the other things like headlights, interior lights, horn, etc. etc. Has anyone...

So I have centered my engine (well pretty close). I am trying to relocate the A/C compressor and it's proving a bit of a pain in the ***. I have seen Gdemon's relocation method and am trying something similar. I am going to slice off the back mounting points of the compressor which will remove...

Using TTI engine mounts, this is the engine mounted on the stock v8 k-frame. I was wondering if anyone had the distance shown in the photo?

I have a challenger 6spd going in to the 5.7 out of an 07 automatic Charger. I have the pilot bearing pn#53009180AB The bearing fits perfect on the input shaft, now is it a matter of removing the ring that I have pointed to in the picture? If so how do you go about this?
