well sorry for the long delay the car broke my heart so i put it away for the winter!

well i did finish the motor before it snowed and brought it up to get tuned 4 hours and 500 bucks the car still didn't run never even got to pull it off the trailer!
it started and would run but if was really ruff so i have some troubleshooting to do once it warms up and i can get it out of storage i'm think either i messed
somehting up in my injector wiring or i got a bad EMS but i just thought i would give you an update!

here is what the finished product looks like well at the moment at least!

Does that manifold clear the a/c compressor?? Your MAF might be too close to your turbo inlet....

ya i know there are plenty of MAFs that can flow high hp but i've read about a lot of people havins issues with them as well especially with running the aem ems... so i think i'm just gonna cut my losses and switch to a MAP.

should be able to pull it out of storage the end of march and get it running right though i'm getting excited!

haha its not... just started trouble shooting it this past weekend hooked up a scope to and it found that all my injectors are firing at the same time on #1 combustion and dont fire again till #1... but i didn't send me AEM back over the witner to get checked so i'm not sure if they cleared my base tune off of it and entered a command or something for the injectors to fire like that i have to wait for tomorrow for my laptop with a serial port to come in to check that out before i tear my wiring harness apart.

an the MAP & AIT are in those to little boxes on the right haha

i needed those pats pretty bad to my car looks like a truck!

if aem didn't set it to do that when i shipped the ecu back then i just found my issue as to why the car wouldn't run when i brought it to get tuned! when the tuner was messing with it if would fire on one cylinder maybe 2 and then wouldn't start... we did get it running with some starting fluid and you had to have your foot on the gas a little otherwise it would die which makes perfect sense if it was only getting fuel once per firing rotation... just gotta unloom the harness and see where "I" went wrong

batch fire would only fire 2 cylinders though correct? and i would hope the tuenr would have been smarter then that... or he just really wanted my 500 bucks :P

The 90-96 Q45 had a 3.54 final gear, and the 97-01 had a 3.69 i'm using the 90-96 because of the beefier axles... but i also have a 97 but still need to get the axles for it

you can use it in that location, just advise the tuner and they should be able to compensate for the location difference. dont add as much timing simple fix man!
