Hey man that's awesome what you're doing with the ITB's. That engine is going to sing when it's all finished up!

So, how is the intercooler piping on the cold side going to work with the ITB assemblies? Isn't it usually just one pipe going from the left side of the intercooler to one TB? How is this going to work?

my guys at the shop I go to are doing what I can't and I'll do the rest! Saving some parts until I do the swap. Like fuel pump, fuel filter, radiator, and a few other things!

Default Ecu?

So after diagnostics done that I haven't already done myself the professionals and I came to the same conclusion that it is the computer not giving signals, ordered a rare 5 spd ecm and had it expedited so I'm hoping for the best.


so after all that trouble, time and money it all came down to The Crank Position Sensor and ECM Thank God!

Default 9 months of despair

After "Dragonfly" sat for 9mos waiting for me to resurrect her dirt, grime and even a mouse stole her dignity and pride. I decided to give her a thorough clean and detail from top to bottom in and out!
