Got home from Naw'lens today. Went to MAPerformance and picked up a couple things as well. As always, thanks for the great prices guys! Turbosmart Compgate 40mm: Oil Feedline Kit: Also had some parts waiting for me in the mail. Time to get some work done!! Ebay Gasket kit: 2 used...

Hell yeah man, gettin closer. Just stopped at MAP today for some more stuff :) I shoulda asked to go in back to see your goodies.

Didn't get a whole lot done. What I discovered is it appears to be impossible to completely remove the lower oil pan without either removing the engine, or removing this big arse cross-member. I needed about another 1/4" but couldn't jack the motor up any further to get that extra little bit...

The Borg assimilates all. Resistance is futile

Exhaust and Intake side are torn down as far as I think I'm going to go. There seem to be so many random sensors all over the place, I'm wondering if they are all needed at this point? Pics of how it sits right now after tear down: One of the piles of shit that came out. That intake...

Got to spend a couple hours on her this evening. Here's where she sits today. TB is almost off, but there's one coolant hose on the IM side still hooked to it that seems to be a little tricky...

Well, the time has come... Turbo Time !! I parked her in the driveway. Cleaned out the garage where she'll be parked for the next couple months. Jacked her up and gave her a good underbody cleaning/degreasing before starting work. Parked and up on jack stands The parts stash that I've...

Well one last glitch I've been trying to work out is cranking. Sometimes it starts a little rough. While troubleshooting last night, the car just shut off and wouldn't restart. Narrowed it down to loss of spark. Shane was nice enough to lend me the coil and ignitor off his SC300. Turns out...

Nice, let me know when you need a hand!!

I'm anxious to put that sucker back in!!

MS3/3x appears to be up and working. Again, it is in full control over fuel and ignition. Everything else is still being controlled by the stock ECU. Video for your viewing pleasure: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2ki52efsZE

Well my goal is basically to get the car running well first with the turbo setup, and run around on low boost for a season. So probably something around the 350-400hp mark. Then the next year get a tranny that can hold some power and aim for the 600-700hp mark.

OK did a little bit of playing today per the advice of some gurus. I played with the Zero Crossing pot, and with the different edge triggering options. See pics below. BEFORE Adjusting Zero Crossing pot log. AFTER Adjusting Zero Crossing pot log. - Zoom to see where the cam trigger falls...

Well it's been forever since I've updated this. Mainly because there has been nothing to update as life has been quite hectic since the beginning of the year. Today I finally got some time to continue troubleshooting the sync problem. Put a scope to the Cam and Crank inputs as noise was...

Well today got a little bit done. The original vacuum source I was using wasn't very good (kPa value would freeze soon as the TB closed). So I found a different spot and tapped it from there. Also decided to work on the sync issue as well. I was told to double check the base ignition...

First test drive. I keep losing the sync, which deals with the cam signal coming in. I may dig under there next week and resolder that connection, and ensure it's well insulated and see if that helps at all. Anyhow here ya go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xha7s9s--VY

Been awhile since I've been able to get back to this thing. Been busy lately! Got the turbo exhaust housing back from Primo Performance from being coated. Looks great thanks guys! Started it up with the MS3 controlling fuel and ignition for the first time today also. Runs a little...

Started on Phase 2 of the MS3 install. The injectors and ignition are all wired up. I had to actually cut these wires, and solder and heat shrink them to the MS pigtail, since MS is taking over full control of them, stock ECU has no control of them anymore. I need to run a vacuum line to it...

Mine is just 200 so I'm not too worried, but 1500-3000, holy eff I wouldn't like that.

Thanks once again to Jordan, and also Dave, for their help the last couple days. The MS is communicating with TunerStudio on my Netbook. Had a slight issue with the cam input but got it all worked out. So right now TunerStudio is up and talking just fine, and all the signals that I'm bringing...
