    fuel pressure sender location

    Wiring an AEM EMS from a pre 89 to an 89+

    i guess you could down load the pre 89 pin chart from aem and the 89+ pin owners manual then compare the two pinouts. a jumper harness would be preferable to switch from the yellow to grey plugs but there would be some costs in that and PITA to do. You would need pin sockets from a 87/88 ecu...

    would a small/weak manual boost controller or grainger valve help keep the valve closed a little longer?

    Aem ems questions

    you can run a high amp app up to 4.5 amps. The motor or whatever is directly grounded thru the aem and not thru a 30 amp relay would be grounded by the aem. Or you can ground a relay thru the aem. the relay is suppling the motor with the 12v 30 amp power not the aem with a relay. LS can...

    Aem ems questions

    You should have a lap top to data log the o2 and other parameters. when wiring in the map, ait and o2 sensor be sure to put the wires in so that when you pull the engine you dont have to remove any pins. you can wire in the ait with the engine harness but if you use plug C you may want those...

    ffim available in the near future?

    How well does the block to head vent hose fit with a altenator installed? Do we use one of the bolts at the head to secure the ground harness wire? Will you have a throttle wire for the throttle and cruise available or where to source a part to modify? I think you did mention that you...

    ffim available in the near future?

    may have been asked before but do we bolt the harness ground to a bolt on the manifold at the head? i guess so since it will have to be removed anyway since this FFIM appears to be one piece. will the bolts be difficult to get to at the head from underneath?

    Installing FP and Temp gauges

    if you have removed your charcoal canister you can remove the vacuum switch and tap it for 3/8 npt or 1/2 what ever it is then buy a Home Depot 3/8npt to 1/8 npt ID plug and put it in the hole. or if the sensor is already 3/8 then screw it in. tapping the holes of a sensor you will not be using...

    Wrecked my Sup tonight - my bad :(

    Murphys Law? Bad Karma? Switch carriers and bam. It took me a year to figure out how to make a U turn from north interstate to south on one of those X overpass intersections with lights. Getting the rear quarter fixed would be a bitch so good thing its in ok condition. Looks horrible tho.

    Aem ems questions

    well yes and no. You have to send the stock calibration into the aem, set your tps, and set timing. then you have to try to get it to start. a stock 7m cal file may crank right up. i assume you mean you will still have the maf. i have not tried that map. if you have an aem spend the extra...

    Got my car appraised today..

    Be sure to read the policy a few times. It may have some exclusions if you wreck it drag racing (i think most policies do) or if the car is modded above stock. The insurance company probably doesn't know about any mods done to the car that you gave to the appraiser. You dont want some...

    Got my car appraised today..

    A few questions. Did they ask you if the car was modded or what size turbo was on it? Did they ask you if you took the car to the track or drag strip? Did you tell them you did or did not use the car at these places? How many speeding/moving violations do you have or do they know about?

    turquoise gear oil?

    yea i just put this in my r154. lightweight shockproof. I used super lightweight and it was a red pickish color. I was suprised with this color of the oil. It is thicker than the super light weight so i am hoping it will stick to parts better. i have driven it some and it seems to shift...
