Yea like i said i thought something was wrong when i first started it, sounded like i had a stock exhaust on the car from the front. Of course from the back the 4 inch exhaust changed that opinion haha. Itchy is right, Gloves and a long sleeve shirt are a must when working with the stuff, they even recommend a breathing mask.

Thanks, i figured it was the easiest/best way to mount them for my particular car. I re-mounted them with a mounting kit made by Perma-Cool. There in the same spot but when i first mounted them with the wire ties i noticed a 185F temp rating. The last thing i wanted was to have the ties melt and let the coolers slide down the front of the radiator. Better safe then sorry, and the kits were like 5 bucks per cooler so it was worth it.
The Perma-Cool mounting kit is made for mounting the coolers this way and the ends are square and feet like so they stay where you put them. It also comes with square cushion pads that you put between the cooler and front of the radiator to space the cooler away and prevent any rubbing/damage to either the cooler or the radiator.
In a few hours its off to Mcdonalds for some Mcgriddles and then its Supra Stick installation time!!!!!!!! Still dark right now, just waiting for some sunlight! :evil2:
Ian, any preference to water/meth kits? Its going to be the next thing i need to get before i can get tuned this spring. 25PSI here i come! :evil2::naughty:

Thanks, The coils are pretty much just resting on top, between the spark plug wires and the wires from the ignitor there not going anywhere. When i eventually go FFIM theyll get mounted on a bracket to the firewall and ill move the spark plug wires around so they all reach.
Fuel pressure regulatorim going to try to squeak in beside the brake booster, im trying to keep the front of the wheel wells open, there busy enough with the fuse blocks and ignitor.

Its an itchy enough job to make you make sure it gets done once, im getting itchy again just thinking about it. :: angry ::

LOL I'm still itchy from working on mine yesterday
Dan: I bought a Snow kit and ended up only using the Nozzle and Pump and got my MoTeC guys to Map what the controller outputs and replicate that in the M800, works really well.

I see i'm going to look more into it. I got time before I'll need it.
Installed the Supra Stick v4 and after much trial and error me and Ian came up with the solution to the speed input for the controller.

any updates? and where in L.I are you? Im always out with a few other mkiii owners and the runz in deer park.
I'm up in Port Jefferson. Not much to update with all the snow we've been getting. Its too damn cold to do anything.
Right now the cars turn key, supra stick is installed/functioning smoothly, un-tuned 10psi 10.3A/f's across the board. Ran a buddy, estimating the cars in high 12's.
Still need to tweek the post start fuel enrichment because it starts a little rough in the sub 40F weather.
Still waiting to install intercooler, fuel system, Another fuel pump and methanol injection. Then its off to get tuned and a 500+HP Sheet.
But until this snow clears out and it warms up a little im trying to save up some money for when im ready to buy more parts.

yea the temperature over here just been below freezing, Forces me to go outside and work on the car in intervals, them come inside warm up and go back out. Honestly once im finish doing my r154 swap, I'm not touching anything else on the car till its atleast 40-45* out
Yea i gotta get around to ifnishing the spec list. Winter has been horrible lately. Every time the snow melts we get another 4 inches the next day, Had to have broken a record this year!
Injectors are Denso 700cc's. Got them from driftmotion, work with stick injector clips.

Weather has been absolutely outstanding lately. I have done some more tweaking and tuning. 3 Inch intercooler piping is on the way so i can finally install the new Intercooler.
I have purchased a new welder so metalworking projects will be easier to complete and with higher quality.
Ive been meaning to install my temp senders in before and after both oil and transmission coolers. I have been looking around for an inline fitting that i could mount a temperature sender in with not so much luck.
I went out and figured i could put something together and came up with this.
That is a 1/2 inch NPT Tee fitting that will go in the oil cooler circuit. As you can see the sender is neatly tucked out of the way as to not obstruct flow. Barbs will be put on either side to make the install easy. Ill be making another with a 3/8's Tee fitting and only the bushing that the sender is screwed into.
I also had an issue where when i was driving my car around for an extended period of time the mixture would begin to lean out. I looked threw the EMS for compensations i may have missed and everything is zeroed out. I could only attribute the issue to the longer driving period.
I wondered if the fuel was being heated to an unacceptable level. I felt the tank and it was warm, hard to tell because it was very warm out. I reached under and felt the fuel filter finding that it was hot to the touch.
I tested my theory by driving until the problem showed up again, and putting 10 gallons of fuel in the tank at a gas station. The cold fuel pumped from the underground tank almost immediately solved the issue.
After conferring with Ian (IJ.) i decided to reinstall the charcoal canister and stock gas cap as with the vented cap the heated fuel vents rather then creating pressure in the tank and results in a lean condition. I have not driven the car for as extended of a period of time but the mixture seems to have been richened up since the re-installation of the canister. I think when i do the fuel system i will install a cooler on the return to help with this issue in the future as safe measure.
Hopefully teh intercooler will be installed by the end of the week. :icon_bigg

Well intercooler is in. After driving around it seems to work VERY well!
I also took it upon myself to use my new welder to make a catch can because i was tired of oil vapor making a mess.
Ill put a drain on it when i figure out its permanent location and how i want to handle draining it.:aigo: I also finally got around to wrapping my down pipe to match the manifold.
Hopefully the water methanol kit gets here soon so i can get it in today and start some tuning! Im running out of room in this car.

I put a ball valve and hose on my CC for draining it, with the 7m I remote mounted the valve under the car behind the left front wheel, with the Chev I can reach the bottom of the can so it's there.
