QUICK NOTE TO EVERYONE:
I just realized that I used teflon tape on my oil fittings: BAD IDEA. I wasn't thinking. Hot oil will melt and render useless the teflon tape. I already have some high-temp anti-seize that is safe for sensors, so I am using that. I have taken all my oil fittings out. And of course while doing so the wire that attached to the standard oil pressure sensor broke off, so now I have the fun of repairing that, and when I was disconnecting the gauge oil pressure sensor, the molex connector broke on that... and I found out that the spot I tapped the downpipe for the EGT probe is right in the way of the coolant return line on the block... so all in all it's been a bad morning.

Big news!! I am just about finished with all the major components! All of the MAM shipped kits are mounted in the car, just a couple final connections to make (once I buy a couple more items).
Details and pictures to come. Good possibility I will attempt my first start this weekend.

Nice typo on the last post there. I have put oil in, about to add the coolant, hook up the laptop, and give it a go. First I am going to run the starter for a couple cycles to get oil moving. Unfortunately I can't do any real tuning yet, as my AEM wideband is on backorder. I just want to get it running!

cool, post em up soon!
well, the durn thing started! I just did a couple quick tests to see how the different maps worked, and now it appears that no fuel is making it into the engine. It won't start. I have to do some real quick learning on how to use the software, so that's what I am going to focus on. I'll get the pics up tonight as well.

cool man, keep us updated.
I have posted the pics I have so far, and the movie of the first start attempt is uploading now. You can see my cool AF issue glasses that I have been using as "prescription safety glasses". All I need is to add some tape to them. Not what I normally wear, not that much of a geek. Enjoy!
