I would say first finish the mods you planned for the ignition, and then see where you are. I think your current setup can do better.

did you verify that you vac lines are connected properly to it, and there are no leaks?

Yes, If my car dies while driving, I will check my killswitch first as well. But, seeing as won't be installing it on the seat cushion or the headrest, It'll be hard to imagine how I accidentally hit it... Sorry. Had to. ;)

You have a front lip on your front lip? Interesting.

Um No. The added reinforcement for the targa version is not the equivalent of 4 football players sitting in the car. Targa reinforcement adds 86lbs.

Agreed, but space is an issue. I am trying my best, though, to give the merge as much downward angle as possible. PS- I've been trying to re-use the screamer pipe's stainless flange, but it's twice as thick as the one that came with the wastegate. So I'll be switching to the narrower one so...

I have about 2" between the pipe and the wastegate. That means that I'll be cutting a 90 degree elbow to make a sharp turn.

Still working on the DP/ wastegate plumbing. Went to Lowe's today and picked up some lag screws for the manifold. "Why on earth would you need lag screws?" Well, to make my jig, of course. I just needed to temporarily bolt a 2x4 to my shelving, so that I could mock up the...

Awesome! Glad to see that you're near completion on the drivetrain work! I've been watching your build, noting all the parallels between yours and mine, as well as taking notes on how i could steal some of your methodology.

Was reading a technical service bulletin on Dex VI earlier today. Sounds like good stuff. Also mentioned that the viscosity doesn't break down like DexIII.

Lol yeah. "Cam sprocket hole" title is a wee bit misleading. Get it helicoiled and you should have no issues.

Huh? I feel like im on the outside of an inside joke.

Lol. Um, i dont think i meant to say all that, but it sounds good. I really had no problem just using the original cooling pipe, but a couple people suggested a cooler. I didnt know about the steering failures in racing events, but i dont plan on racing this car at all. Not familar with Dex 6.

I have a craftsman wrench, and found that i can set it to XX ft-lbs, but it'll not click till its way beyond the desired torque setting. Torque wrenches do go out of calibration. Luckily, i figured it out before stripping anything vital, and replaced it.

Lol. You started this thread on the 31st of May; waited till the 28th of June to mention the ecu's fault codes. Information is a two-way street, or conversely, garbage in = garbage out. Glad you got it fixed.

I just ran a cooler because, well... I could. Most OEM coolers are simply a loopy tube that allows the fluid to cool a bit before returning to the reservoir. I figured, what the hell.

Today, I wandered around the junkyard, snooping under the hoods of nearly every make and model. I was shopping for a coolant resevoir, an oil cooler for the power steering, a vacuum cannister for my cruise control(na), and a power steering resevoir. I hate the turbo ps resevoir, as it blocks...

Glad to hear that it is still in one piece, and in good hands.

So did they give you a dyno sheet for the second set of pulls?

This too, yes. You drove it for a bit, sloshing the jelly and the rust in the tank around, Then parked it. Crud settles back to the bottom of the tank(fuel strainer), and gets clogged up the next time you start it. This is a conceivable scenario.
