that’s a lot if work while waiting for a tranny. Any luck on that part?

Yes I did end up finding one thankfully. A guy in the city decided to get out of the dsm game all together a s sold me the tranny out of his 93 gsx! Tcase too

Here is some more pics of the rear subframe work. It was a rusty peicer so decided to sand blast it all, fresh poly bushings, RTM upper lca and Volk lower lca. I also picked up a set of flat out suspension coilovers for 1g to replace the shitty gr2 with cut springs.

I took the rear end apart as I could see rust from under the bumper. Took the bumper to get sand blasted and gave it the rustoleum flat black rust pain lt treatment as the subframe. Some pics of rebuilding the tranny I bought.

Lots of broken bolts on the rear end. It took a while day to drill and tap for the new hardware.

Made some progress on the car will post pictures soon. This post is just to log steps I've done to troubleshoot injector #1 not firing.

-Resistor box shows 6.5 on all pins.
-12v constant to injector confirmed
-Continuity to signal pin on injector from ecu harness confirmed.
-Swapped to another known good ecu.
-Swapped injectors from 4, issue persists.
-Swapped entire injector set, issue persists.
-New spark plugs gapped to .028
-#1 spark plug dry

To do:
-Try spare CAS to confirm injector signal
-Check signal wire while spinning CAS
-Check Ecu is grounding signal

Spinning spare CAS with ignition ON caused number 1 injector to fire but still no combustion. Removed spark plug and looked down hole, piston was very wet, confirming injector is firing. Suspected no compression so decided to test
1-130
2-130
3-147
4-149
Not the greatest numbers but good enough to play with. Not sure what else to do here. Will swap out complete ignition system with one from used engine, but cannot confirm if it's good or not. Worth a try.

Correction on spark plug inspection here. It looked dry when I pulled it during this time, but as reported on previous post, injector is firing.

Found the issue. When I installed the intake manifold a year ago I must have missed some shop rag. When I shined a light down the injector hole I could see blue. Pulled the intake many and there were 3 blue rags stuffed into number 1 runner. Don't be like me, ya'll, check all your air passages before sealing them up.

Now that that's been resolved the car runs perfect. Washed it, installed leather interior, cleaned interior, painted some trim, set the ride height. I found a leak from the turbo oil feed from the head so I have new washers and a bolt coming in. I was giving it more torque to seal but I ended up twisting the bolt instead. DoH!

Degreased the cowl area and behind the head lights. Still need to get the bumper core cut to fit the FMIC.

Alignment is scheduled for a couple of weeks from now and then it goes to paint for some body rust repair, patching, and paint. You can tell the rear wheel well where the rusty part is.

Pile of trim:

A little interior shot before I washed it:

Been a couple of years since an update. Since then I've done a ton of work. Pics to come
- Rebuilt front subframe with poly bushings and new suspension hardware
-New Steering Rack
-FIC 1650cc hi-z
-BC Cams
-Top line lifters
-Built engine: Wiseco 1400HD, Howard Rods, ACL Bearings, BS delete
-FP Red
-Tial exWG recirced, Tial BOV
-Electronic Boost Control
-Aluminum radiator

It's been quite a battle to get to this point. I also powder coated the valve cover, new dipstick, upgraded all the vacuum lines and radiator hoses. I'll have to figure out a catch can setup. Installed a 90 ofh and will run an external cooler.

I'm almost done assembling the car and looking to get its first start this weekend.
