Son of a Bitch! The last little part of my manifold is starting to piss me off. So I went outside and bent some hard line for the scavenge pump I have sitting on my chest of drawers. I've got 1/2 done. The hardest line is about 1/2 done and that is the line that goes to my oil pan from the scavenge pump. It's got to go over the power steering rack, over the roll bar, under the turbo manifold, and under or around the wastegate. This is going to be quite the long line, but should prove kind of fun in the process.


Now that I think about it If I really, really, really, wanted to (which I don't since I've already got the bulkhead fittings and cut and mounted the radiator frame), I could have just mounted the scavenge pump on the frame rails some place. I didn't because I thought I'd take a piece out of TTT's book and go around my elbow to get to my ass (Nothing but love TTT).

I also should be buying the PS1k+digi dash bundle here in the next few weeks, which should be really nice. I'm getting excited. Now I just need to either decide if I want to wait on installing it until I build the intake manifold, or just install it and epoxy all my manifold lines on... oh the possibilities. lol

Suggestions/thoughts? I'm really open to what I should do timeline wise.

Here's an Update... Especially for B.

Suck it.

I have one of those to it's been in my car for the last year

LOL... :rofl::rofl::rofl:
Where did you get yours from? I was on the last buy though Ludwig motorsports but I havn't made any progress on my car lately :( so mine is sitting in the file cabinet should I take a pic of it for him?

I think you should... I'll print a few out and tape them to his ride next time he's around. Start hiding them EVERYWHERE, lol..

I got mine from Ludwig. I got a good deal from him so I'm happy about it.
...:squint:....

I'm on to you.

Welp, the ECU arrived today! Who wants to help me tune ;)

I've been setting up the preliminary tuning table for the car (doing it from scratch because I'm a masochist) and I have some options that I think I like. Here's some screen shots.

I still need to do a few things before I begin to install the EMS. They are (in no particular order)

1. Pay second exhaust ticket
2. Buy exhaust components (mandrel bends, mufflers, etc)
3. Put car in the shop to get the exhaust welded up properly
4. Sell the RTek 2.1, Cable, and Palm T|X
5. Sell Prosport Gauges
6. Sell S4 Dash
7. Buy Vehicle speed Sensor (the transmission type)
8. Buy Amps for EGT sensors
9. Buy Coils/Igniters for Direct fire
10. Buy Digi Dash
11. Install ECU/Components
12. Sell engine components
13. Tune
14. Enjoy redline

Another update:

Received new mufflers to quite down my exhaust noise. Should be going to the shop to get it put on sometime in the not too distant future; just need to order and get some mandrel bends.

I also have finalized the intake geometry volume for the plenum I've been designing. The results will be posted shortly.

Well the time has come for the car to go into the shop for a quieter exhaust system. All my parts for it have come in and I figure I'll let a professional have to swear at the car especially because he HAS to make it look nice and can't do a job like the midlands of 'that'll do'.

My exhaust system will be composed of the Racing beat universal 3in pre-silencer, a Magnaflow 3in inlet to dual 2.5in outlet to a dual Magnaflow 2.5in inlet/outlet circular mufflers without offset to dual Magnaflow 2.5in inlet/outlet with offset oval type mufflers. For those keeping count that's 6 muffling devices. This should quiet me down a lot. Some say this is overkill, some say it reminds them of a Ferrari exhaust, all I know is that if this doesn't quiet down the car I'm going to have to put in a 'buttplug' (into the exhaust system. Get your mind out of the gutter!).

Would you turn the volume down on a rock concert? I just dont get it, lol....

Apparently Virginia LEO's do...

Lol... I have no issues with the LEOs.

When you get that exhaust done and the car tuned, I need another ride, lol... You should bring it up to KDR next time I go and strap it down...

Will do, though I think that's a little ways off...

I would still need to figure out the intake arrangement before mounting and setting up the ECU. With the current arrangement it will just keep blowing couplings. I have the intake manifold design done, but still need to iron out the intake diffuser/TB adapter. This also takes money to get the materials and get friends to weld it up for me. So I still have a long way to go.

Not to mention I still need to buy and set up the digidash.

Well I will be going to pick up the car today and here's what the Shop said about it when I asked: How does it sound? Quieter?
So it looks like I have some extra 2.5in mandrel bends in 304 without legs that I'm willing to let go for the price I bought them for $14.95/ea+shipping (or you can pick them up).

Speaking of exhaust I need to pick up some exhaust tips but I need to measure a few things first. But these are the one's I'm looking at (I'll probably be painting them black as to not gain unwanted attention):
