Ok so here's the deal. Despite my intense love for my DSM, driving fast, cruising at all hours of the day & night, and crankin' my system up a lot, I simply have very little interest in learning the mechanical side of how the engine works. With that being noted; I have had a lot of work done to my 97 Talon 420a but have run into a snag in the last stretch of the rebuild....my mechanic has gone to jail for a DUI! My car has been driven since the turbo was added on earlier this year but we ran into tuning problems and had my Megasquirt II ECU sent back and modded so it could also control spark.
Right now all it needs, as I understand it, is to be hooked up to control spark (it's already wired up controlling fuel...) and then tuned and she will be running like never before (It was only driven for like 5 miles with the turbo installed and otherwise I've been cursed to drive her NA @ 140hp the entire 2-3 years I've owned her...). HOWEVER I have absolutely no idea how to do this nor do I have the self-confidence in being guided on the procedure online - in other words I don't want to put my $5000+ engine's life at the stake of my own hands!
What I'm looking for is a local DSM'er who will know what to do here to get it going for a daily driver.....there really should be only 3-5 hours of work left my mechanic had told me but unfortunately time just fell short for him and now I'm stuck with a sick DSM that doesn't run but is SOOOO very close to spooling up daily! I apologize if this is posted in the wrong section.
Is there anyone local (Marysville/Lake Stevens area) who would be capable of doing this? Of course I'm not expecting free services here; I'll pay; I just need it taken care of...
