Engine picture

I was thinking about it and I don't think I have posted a picture of the engine bay in running condition.

I spent today working on getting the Race Technology dash running better.  You have to tell it what every channel coming into is, what you want it called, and where to display the info.  While I was working on getting the fuel sender functioning I realized that I had made a mistake in the wiring for it.  Apparently there is some functionality in the original gauge that gets lost when you remove the cluster.  I had to add in a pull up resistor and change the reserve fuel circuit a bit, but it is functioning now.  I will calibrate the dash on that circuit tomorrow.  I also want to move the fuel pump and fan relay circuits onto the vems tomorrow.  Then I can control when they come on an off from within the computer.  I'll leave in the override switches, never know when I might need one again.

Event pics

Well I had fun.  The car doesn't handle like I want so before we add any more power to it we will have to do some suspension work.  I figured I would put up a few event pics though, you know just to prove that it is really running.  The fist one is for Marc to show off the nice EFI Express stickers and the second is for me. 

I never had the car smoke the tires coming out of a corner before!  After we do the suspension work and add some nice sticky tires it just might be a rocket ship.

Loaded up

Just sharing a pic of the car with some stickers applied loaded on the trailer.  Tomorrow will be her return to the autox track.  I don't expect anything magical to happen since there is lots left to do.  Right now we are not using electronic boost control so we are limited to mechanical control.  I also will change the wiring of the fan and fuel pump circuits so that vems has control over them.  Wild guess that we are running about half the horsepower that I would like, but you gotta start somewhere and she needs a shake down cruise.  I need to see how the car tracks with the current boost curve.  Hope it not to laggy for what I need.  It sure is fun on the highway though.
