I got 1 bank mounted and its sticking a bit which made it obvious that I can't easily move the linkage to the passenger side as I planned because it makes the linkage wind up against the springs and not open evenly.


Today I realized the way I did the linkage 1 bank is acting on the springs while the other is on the screws so I'm back to linkage on the passenger side and I need to find a solution to the acting on the springs thing....somehow.

Solution found. The way I made them 1st the screw threaded into the top and pressed in the middle with a spring between the middle and bottom. Top pic

Now I clearanced the top and threaded the middle and the screw presses on the bottom with the spring top to middle. 5 more to go. Bottom pic

I'd say oil pressure is a reasonably big milestone :o Looks awesome

Funny how that works :)

I would have made the parts a little different to give more clearance if I realized the issue sooner, this will work I just have to make sure everything is well aligned or it will be difficult to adjust

I've been working with the guys at enginelab and they have been making some nice refinements the latest which will come in really handy as I get ready to wire is a pin-out that tells you exactly what every pin does. IF you want to change something you just double click it and the model items opens and lets you edit or reassign it as you please which makes it even nicer than the motec version which is info only.

I'm very close to having my 12 spark outputs. I had to add 2 more jumpers to the board and that got signals to the pins but not the right signals so they are making a FW update to correct that.

I can't wait to get this thing hooked up!

I think all the wiring stuff is here now, at least everything thing I ordered is.

All kinds of colors of wire! and lots of connectors, I got the the Deutsch DTM type with the E007 back as suggested

Then I bought a couple Hella 4 relay boxes and their 8 fuse box.....pretty nice parts. I also bought a bunch of standard relays casue they're pretty cheap and 1 more pricey solid state relay for the fuel pump because I want to PWM (pulse width modulate - aka turn it on/off/on/off/on.... fast) the signal to control the pump speed and therefore the fuel pressure.

Now I just need time to actually do the wiring.....throttle bodies first though.

Is each bag a different color pair?

I'm working on my electrical order now as well, lots of little things to think of.
