Driving the car this morning, resetting the ECU, and putting in some new 91. Then testing for knock again. :p

I heard there's a rule on how many times you can "jiggle your stick"...


It's my stick I'll jiggle it as must as I want!

Rule of thumb, always leave your car in gear, always jiggle the stick before starting, always released the pedal slowly.

Your car will thank you for it as will save much body work and paint.

Took advantage of Lethal Performance's 15% off discount code (EXHAUST) and ordered their 2.75" over-axle pipes just now

Also used their 10% off code (DAD) for the JBA H-pipe that I've had my eyes on for quite a while. 3" to 2.75", should all work together beautifully :)

Paid for the R&R of the new engine - going to pick the car up later today. It looks like the oil pressure gauge problem is likely some debris that got to the sensor when the piston let go, so going to try replacing the sensor and see if that works. All the wiring looks to be okay, unless there is a break that I just haven't found yet.

I think it's a no go for my readiness monitors with the Mike Rousch tune and the non foulers. I didn't drive it much, but everything set up except the three that didn't set up before the non foulers. I returned the tune to stock to see if the non foulers will prevent a CEL.

Picked it up, drove it with the top down! Have to do some cleaning under the hood. The oil pressure sensor area had a leak, which of course dripped to the hot side of the turbo and the wrap because it is right under the line from the turbo to the fitting that was dripping. I thought I had smelled it before the engine blew.

Tomorrow I'll pull the front end off so I can get to the turbo and get the pictures for Hellion that they want and pull the cover off the waste gate to double check the spring and see if it the valve is opening too. Hellion said maybe something got in when the engine let go the first time that is keeping the spring and BOV from working properly, leading to the overboost problem.

Then have to replace the sensor for the oil pressure gauge and see if that is why the reading isn't working.

Lookie lookie! Stock tune and 2 non-foulers per side with steel wool.

So since there is no sniffers in my state, this will pass right?

The guys at the local Auto Tire actually didn't care, they were aware there were no cats. They even suggested non foulers and a different tune, lol.

Hoping the same. Either way though, after lots of talk it will be good to actually get a race with Mo, win or lose.

The guy can run his mouth but he can also back it up so it's going to be cool to see what yall do.

Bring an EDP car with you so we can see which is better, the original or the copy cat lol
