first off, thx dee.. the ecu did the trick. I know what i did now.. i wired #2 injector wrong before, and musta fried the terminal inside the ecu. So, it works now.

Anyway, i drive not even 3 blocks... hit a lil boost... and blow one of my cooler pipes! it falls under the car, gets run over... i then drive back the 50 or so feet to my house with the mafe not hooked up and a boost leak. i figure i ran stupid rich, and flooded it.. now it wont start.Ill try again in the am.

But all my electrical issues are fixed now. only real problem i noticed... i need new engine mounts. the motor bucks like a whore.

ALSO! i need some good 2.5in pipes. i got a cheap set from ebay cause i needed something right away. so if anyone can point me in the right direction... remember i need custom pipes for my pulsar.

THX ALL!!!

ryan, what a contribution, you steed you.

anywho, you can always do what i did and use mandrel bent exhaust tubing from auto zone, and plumbing fixtures from home depot. also, i kept having the hot pipe jump off on me under high boost (where it connects to the pipe going to the fmic). no clamp would do because of how well lubricated it was from blow-by, so i gorilla glued the bastard. problem solved.

GOOD IDEA!GM makes glue for there supercharged vehicles so they dont blow pipes off, since i work at GM i might get a bottle for myself.I gotta fix the oil return line though, its leaking pretty good.

Congratulations on solving one problem, but the motor mount thing can be annoying as well. As one suggested here, you can fill in the webs of the nissan mounts with window weld or you can go buy some urethane and fill the webs as well (if the mounts aren't torn or badly worn).

Sweet dude!

Like Boostboy said. Just fill the mounts, its amazing the difference.

Im looking forward to meeting up and cruising with you this summer!

As far as your charge plumbing goes. I dont know what you mean by them being cheap ebay stuff? Round tubing is round tubing. Just get some good clamps if you are using worm gear ones get a bunch of T-bolt clamps and crank them down. After that you should be good to go.

Also, i dunt know how many times im gonna have to change the oil. There is a lot of fuel from in the oil from haveing quite a few 'crank, no starts' I kinda got myself hi draining my oil tonite

I will play with my cas some until it idles better. fix my air leaks, some oil leaks, and other general stuff after letting my car sit for almost a year!Thx anyone and everyone who offered advice and maybe shared a cheap laugh at my expense.
