well, because I've been working like a madman (having 2 full time jobs), I've finally taken a weekend to get my KA-T setup on and have at least a base tune using my BikiRom ECU.

I'm going to take pics and whatnot, but before I start tomorrow, any unique experiences? I'll be using the following

T3/T04E .50/.63 Z32 MAFBikiRom ECU550cc Deatschwerk injectorsTial 38mm WG at 3.63 psi

I have a base tune for it at 10 psi, but I'm gonna start at 7 psi. I don't wanna pop the motor. haha

like I said....any unique experiences or thoughts?

not trying to be a downer, but its going to take more then a weekend if you have to put everything on and THEN tune it. you always run into snags and if you rush you make mistakes which is a bad, bad thing especially when tuning. Now if you already have all the turbo stuff on your car and just have to tune it, well then you should be okay with just fri, sat, sun. anyways, good luck no matter what!

EDIT: i also hope you have more parts then the ones you just listed

of course I have a LOT more than this. I'd list it all, but I'm at work and I'm pretty lazy to do so. haha

but...I'm sure I could get it on and a decent tune. I have tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off from work, and I plan on dedicating those 84 hours to the car.

yeah you should be fine. it shouldnt take you too long to get the stuff put on your car. i mean hell i swapped a fuel injected engine into a carberated car in 3 days and i had to wire and plumb the carberated car for fuel injection.

Geez, you got an eternity. You'll have it licked no problem. As long as you are somewhat mechanically inclined you'll be good to go. Good Luck and Have Fun!

yup this is what i was going to say. a weekend is definatly pressed for time and if saturday sucks, sunday will be more of a downer then you will overlook little things and your car wont run right. def have a ride lined up for that just in case. good luck tho, just be realistic. hell im putting off my little i/h/e project untill my day off incase i cant break free a bolt from my stock setup. i hate being rushed when working on cars, that book of curses i read very loud.
