The car finally started and idle with the AEM EMS. A few more issues to sort out and i should be able to actually drive her....YES!!!!

Nice man. The scary part isnt the idle...its the first boost after start up... :thumbsup

Yeah I know.....thinking about just letting her idle for a few weeks till i build up enough nerve....lol.

Better put on a pair of Pampers.

AEM is a pain in the ass. I turned the car off last night and it decided not to start anymore. After realizing what was wrong and playing with the crank time table, finally got her to start up again. Set the base timing and was ready to drive. Decided to check for timing creep and coolant decided to escape the radiator cap that I have. So now i must order a new one before i can drive her. First oil change turned out ok....thank god for that.

*cough*DSMLink*cough*

JK, well it will all be worth it once it is up and running. When I just put my car back together, both coolant lines on the turbo were leaking, one of my other coolant lines was not tightened properly and got coolant ALL over my engine bay (turbo, piping, radiator, fan, hood, valve cover, intake, battery, etc, etc), my oil pressure sender was leaking, as was my oil feed line off of my oil filter housing. It's still leaking a little now from the valve cover (where the cam gears are, I forgot to put some RTV there)...just some food for thought.

You seem to be very cautious about the whole thing (which is a good thing), and I know you know what you are doing, so after you get these first few kinks sorted out, you shouldn't have too many problems. Good luck!

Sometimes I wish I kept DSMLink....lol. I knew AEM would be a headache but didn't think it was that tedious. IT was funny cause the map i had loaded started the car 5 minutes before it wouldn't start. So just to all the sudden decide it didn't want to work was mind boggling.

I have one fuel line leak...very minor and the radiator cap leak. so far those are the only two issues....knocks on wood...lol. I put the car back together slowly and carefully to minimize any issues that may have arose.

i will give it that first boost for ya, will help the rings set it proper. :D and, i wont be scared to give it gas. it blows up, not my dime. :D

That was going to be a question of mine. Are you breaking in anything new in the motor? It sounds like you just strapped on EMS over the winter.

Basically everything under the hood is new....and I do mean everything.

Very nice Jerrome. Everything looks great :) Who made your manifold? Looks like a very nice piece. Nice coolant hoses too ;)

Remy and I took her for a spin today.....talk about turbo lag.....lol. Victory Performance made the Manifold and you will need to modify the 2g upper rad hose like I did to get it to fit. They do sell a pipe, but I prefer to just move it out the way all together.

if i seen an intercooler of this size id run away crying

That's a crazy setup. What turbo are you using, if you don't mind me asking? Also, are you using a push style radiator fan?........And I thought you'd be running with AC...........

Pusher fans and the mod list can be seen on my website. No A/C here bud.....lol.

700hp all boost. You heard it here first.

Well he traded a few things plus the 150 out his pocket. Still a very very good deal.

yeah....traded DSMLink w/ EPROM ECU, GM MAFT Setup and $150 cash. Even if you add up what i paid for that stuff its still a sweet deal....to sweet to pass up.

*cough*sell it and buy DSMLink again*cough*

You definitely got a good deal, as long as you can figure it all out. If not, at least you know you can easily make your money back and then some!

That is the sickest setup I've ever seen Jerrome!! I can't remember, did you go 2.0 or 2.4? I think 2.0?

Do you have it tuned already for WOT? And what psi are you going to be running?

2.0

Wot tuning later this week.... i cant wait :D

Talk about turbo lag......lol.

VP700CDB Innovative Turbo - I'm not familiar with it. Tried to research it but came up with nothing. Do you have specs on it?

You may not check this for another couple years, but there's a guy on SolsticeForum.com with a similar name, used to be a DSM'er, and apparently has a GT35R on his GXP. That wouldn't be you, would it?

That is not me. I am still with this BB T66......

finally about time
