Ladies and Gentleman, boys and girls, it’s been 5 years since I sat in this garage and stared at the same car torn apart after only 47 miles. I made mistakes covered in previous posts. I’m here and happy to say that over the last 7 weeks I have burned the midnight oil and got this thing back...

I do not have the ecmlink software here at work but I will try to load it when I get home this afternoon.Robert

You will need to look up the amp draw for your pumps and then use the provided guide in the post above to see what wire you should use. For the rest of it, just follow any of the many rewire threads and you will be fine.

You never say what pumps you are using?Assuming Walbro 255’s (CLICK HERE) They draw 10 amps at 70psi (40psi base pressure and 30psi boost). With two pumps, that would be 20 amps. If we assume you run a wire from the battery like you are suppose to and hide it along the way that would be about...

Are you talking about just the tune or the way the application is setup on your desktop?

This thread has the template.Just copy and past then fill out the info. Not sure why its not auto populating, I’ll check on that.As for the log, it looks like you have done your homework. The short section of idle at the end looks good. Airflowperrev, ISCposition, CMBfueltrim etc lines up...

Do you really think this is clearly asking anything?This site is for help and that is exactly why members replied to your asinine posts that had no real objective to start with.Garbage in = Garbage out! You received answers for the information you provided. As for your grammar, it was...

First and foremost, that does seem like a deal that is too good to be true. If I were to entertain buying a built motor, I would pull the valve cover and oil pan at the very least.Pulling the valve cover lets you see the cams, cam lobes, springs and retainers. Look for markings on the cams to...

Pull the plugs and see what they look like.... thats an easy task that takes just a little time.You can rent a compression tester from any parts store to perform the test.I would suggest pulling spark one at a time. Pulling fuel will have the same effect but the plug wires are more easily...

Yes, you do have a profile currently filled out but that profile is far from being useful because you do not know what you bought. I would suggest looking into what is actually on the car to get a better idea of what is happening.You list unknown injectors but not stock. You really need to...

Read every sticky thread at the top of this PAGE. Follow the guidance given there and fill out your profile. We have no clue what mods are included with "car is basically fully modded besides the 14b turbo”. We need more information to possibly help you.

First your wideband question was a simple answer by just googling “Wideband Install DSM”. There are various links and videos there to get you well on your way.Second, if you are asking for log advice you need to fill out the template when posting in the tuning section. Yes, it requires you to...

A hobbs switch is set to turn on at a certain PSI. This would allow you to run one pump below said PSI and then the second pump would kick on after the threshold for the hobbs was reached.You really need to read about fuel pump rewires. A simple and effective search and some reading will do...

A no spark condition and a low compression issue would seem to be separate problems. We really just need more information to properly diagnose over the inter webs.First, check that your mechanical timing is correct. It may take a few revolutions for this to happen. Look for the cam gear dowels...

Do you plan to run the pumps as both always on or one with the hobbs switch?Yes, you have to have a relay. Fuel pumps draw a lot of amperage that can only be carried by larger wires. Look up fuel pump re wire to get an idea. Once you have a fused upgraded power wire to the back of the car...

With such a vague posts containing 7 words, 1 period and no capital letters you are very unlikely to receive much help. There is an abundance of useful information both here and on the ecmlink database that is easily searchable and should get you started. Do some research and/or be more specific...

This is one of those unfortunate costly mistakes that I think everyone goes through as they venture out into new endeavors. For me, that was making something look nice among a million other things. I dug a huge hole and climbed out rather quickly. In that time I made a grave mistake by...

The next 5 photos are out of order. When I drained the nasty oil out, I cut open the oil filter from the 2 hour run time oil change and the 62 mile oil change and this is what I found.This is the filter element from the number 1 oil change.The moly lube used to pack the oil pump did not...

I did some sole searching and came to terms with the horrible idea in my head. I tried to read the plugs but they looked good. I also used a wooden dowel to push down on the piston ATDC but there was no movement. It took me two afternoons after work and I had the motor ripped out and...

I took the car for a short drive and quickly realized that the alignment was way out of whack. I needed a quick fix until I can make it to an alignment rack so I pulled it in the garage. I used jack stands and some twine I had hanging around to do a quick and dirty alignment. I set the string...

While its nice to have an option on Facebook available, that kit only includes mounting points to secure the bumper in the two back corners. It does nothing to support the bumper in the front and prevent it from sagging. A quick release bumper would require 4 mounting points (the two on the rear...

Just curious if you have any plans/thoughts to produce and sell a quick release bumper support for 1G’s? Gixerman made something in the past with quarter turn fittings but it doesn’t seem like those are in production anymore :( JMF makes a solid piece that requires fasteners and takes some time...

Pulling the pan really isn’t that bad, its just getting started thats the hard part.

The last couple of weeks have been pretty entertaining. The photos started to get short considering that the car is now running and I have been chasing gremlins but we will get to that.We left off with just a little wiring to do so lets get back to that.The fuel pump relay wire was ran...

Be careful how much of this you read LOL This whole 2nd build started because of a simple clutch disk. Thanks to @Calan build thread, inspiration and some bright ideas, this is where I sit 4 years later. Not saying it's a bad thing but life happens and it took a lot longer than inticipated. I...

Next up it was time for the Engine control harness. I used various resources available here on Tuners and throughout the interwebs.In the last post, we routed the harness through the firewall and started cutting circuits to length. Once I was happy with the routing and length, I crimped all...

I have taken a peak over at your thread a few times. I will keep an eye out for the update!EDIT: I just noticed that your build is not linked to your profile. Check out the link below and get those two linked together so its easier for others to find :)...

I have completed a lot of work up until this point so the next few posts will be catching up to the current status.With the harness tapped together on the floor, I wrapped it in Techflex split loom. Sleeving is a much better option however I am using some of the stock harness which has...

With the bay wrapped up, its time to start the dreaded wiring job.I removed these harnesses 4 years ago but luckily I labeled every plug when I removed them. I had plans to re route the wires so I took precautions to try and aid that process.This is what I pulled out of the tote.I...

There are a couple projects going on in the garage right now so we will separate them into their own posts just to keep things organized. In this episode, we move inside the car. At first glance it really does look horrible.We already know that there will be no ac in this thing but I really...

Just got done with a post that shows you the AFPR location. If you look back at the dual fuel pump hanger video, you will see all of the fuel lines and how I ran them. I currently run two 6an’s that Y into an 8 AN that goes all the way to the rail.Robert

Work took me out of the loop for a while but I’m back and right back at it. We left on a good note but there is still a lot of small loose ends that I need to tie up.I ordered a bunch of small items and installed them when they arrived. These BSPT plugs seal up some holes in the thermostat...

I bought this some time ago but I believe it' a 3.5 in race core.As long as it' your best impression and nothing less. I wish I had the time to continue the ideos but it just takes too much time. The sheer amount of editing time is rediculous.

And just like that, it’s time for another episode.I finished the prep for the valve cover and compressor housing by blasting them again and polishing the letters. For the valve cover, I made a baffle out of aluminum using the stock baffle as a template. I only made it to cover the openings...

Its time to brake open some more of these 3 year old brand new parts that I have been hoarding and moving around the country.With the driveline pretty much done at this point, we move on to other task like mocking up the new radiator, intercooler, turbo and manifold.It’s like Christmas all...

I have not yet driven one with a manual rack. It is suppose to be better than a depowered rack so we shall see.Robert

Paul,Thank you for the kind words.I just went out and snapped this photo of the rear motor mount.You can use whatever pictures you like for your product advertisement. All of these images have been greatly reduced in size and quality. If you want, I have full quality images...

With the hubs reassembled, it was time to put some things back into this wheel well.I cleaned and installed the knuckle assembly, shock, inner fender and various other items.The sway bar needs to go in before we go much further.I used an extension and a floor jack to press the...

While we were waiting on the bearings for the center diff, we knock out some other tasks that we had on our plate.The Brake and Clutch master cylinders where rebuild about 10,000 miles ago but you couldn’t tell that from the way that they look. Just like everything else going into the bay...

So, we are right back at it. I had a couple weeks off and was able to cover a lot of ground. I still have a ways to go but its safe to say that she is well on her way now.I started by tackling the next biggest part of this beast, the Transmission.About three years ago, I sent a center diff...

It’s been a while but now that I am back with a little free time, lets make some progress on this project. I had a pile of parts that have been accumulating over the holidays and the first thing I grabbed was a set of Throttle Body seals that I picked up from Tim @twicks69 over at...

Just took a quick look. I have only tuned two cars on E85 but looking at your timing, the car may benefit from a few more degrees. Proceed with caution.As for AFR,5k on up lines up pretty good. 3.7k to 5 K you are pretty lean. I would suggest getting that in order to match commanded...

I got a little ahead of myself setting shiny things on the engine so its back to reality.I pulled out a brand new Gates timing kit that I picked up offline. I also grabbed my timing tool kit. I really just wanted to replace the belt since it was so old and I reused the OEM Mitsu Pulleys and...

Any post requesting tuning information should be accompanied with a log. There is also a template that should be filled out to avoid a lot of common back and forth questions and allow us to help you in a timely manner.

I use a metal free formula from loctite on all of my exhaust fasteners. That looks to be mostly the same so I would role with it.I use anti seize on all the studs except the one middle stud that requires RTV because it goes into a return oil gallery. Hope this helps.

The cams were then installed using engine assembly lube. The only lifters in place are the two solid lifters on the number 1 exhaust and number one intake valve.I also installed test springs on these two valves to check piston to valve clearance while degreeing in the cams.I covered this...

Continuing on from post 216....All the clearances checked out.We gave all the parts a final wash using mineral spirits and began reassembly.I removed the rubber plug and reinstalled it using some red RTV.Then the rest of the seals where installedLastly, the oil pump was...

I have crammed a lot of work in over the past 10 days or so. While I was waiting on some parts from Kiggly, I cleaned the matting surfaces on the head with a white bristle disk.We then cleaned out the oil galleries with brake cleaner and compressed air before installing the oil gallery plugs...

I have enjoyed the calendars over the past couple of years and would like to do so again. With that being said, we have to get enough quality submissions to make it worth while. As far as the exterior pics vs engine bay shots, I see no issues with a clean engine bay photo that is cropped around...

Why are you changing the gasket? If there were no sealing issues with the cylinders I would clean and inspect the deck.You can use a razor blade to clean off the gunk and a red scotch brite to finish removing fine particles. Once the head and block surfaces have been cleaned, you should use a...
