Good to see I'm not the only one that writes lists!

You could have knocked off 3/4 of those chores in the amount of time it took you to jot it all down!

Keep up the good work though...looking forward to the end result.

well process is going slower than i hoped for
1. had no feedback from ls2 coils when i went to test them via vipec
2. injectors stopped working but after tinkering around i found out it was due to the update of firmware i had done.
3. its been just cold and crappy to work outside lol about 30-35 degrees,

SO your staying with the stock rods and valves. and you want to run 500hp. Let me know if its still up and running . Would make me feel great about what i am about to do to my 7mgte. I plan on putting eagle rods ARP bolt kit, king rod bearings, and washers. just for the lower half. i bought engine with rebuilt valves and cams . etc.. Your engine looks great .

 

[markcrazy9]

ya ignor the last blog for some reason i thought the first page was the latest ...lol fool i am. anyway. are you still running stock valves after so many years.

Yes I am. They are im great condition still. I honestly don't think stock valves will be an issue at 500. But id worry more about the springs first. But my car is yet to run. I was outta money for a long time. But now its slowly chugging along again

 

[northwestsupra]

wiring wiring and more wiring ill put more pictures up tomorrow but so far what i've done i got myself a new fusebox just for the aftermarket crap, and I was able to get a couple of the circuits knocked out tonight. So far i have all my gauges/boost controller and turbo timer up and running.

ill also make sure to get a good picture of the AEM UEGO afr gauge in the stock boost gauge location

tomorrow my goal is to have my relays wired up for my fuel pump/ injectors and ignition coils, wire in the circuits for those plus the stand alone's power. Saturday I will run down to NAPA and get a key'd battery switch which i shall secretly hide
