The suspense is killing me lol, waiting for the injector swap as i really can't install anything else without em.
I can bleed my clutch thats about it. Guess i'll go back to working on the house for a few days.

Bored waiting for injectors to come, modified the stock ecu cover a little bit to fit the ecumaster, its not perfect the plug and play box is freakin huge but we'll directly wire the thing eventually. One bolt holding the cover seems to work fine.
Cant even tell, factory!

I need to test and make sure my map sensor line isn't getting smooshed. Realistically todo this right, i will delete the plug and play adapter and directly pin to my ecu plugs, but thats a "someday project" lmao after the car runs.

Yeah that sounds good. Only reason I did mine was bc my friend got out of my car and tapped thr ECU with her foot and the car stalled lol Im sure that shouldnt be an issue with the PnP adapter

Good idea, I have had the ecu without the cover before and eventually if you have enough tall passengers something will come loose and make you reinstall it.
You can trim out some of the inside of the cover, thre are some plastic fins etc.. just where you need more room.
Looks great though nice job Waiting for the first start

Figured out my TPS and IACV issues, i had to depin the middle IACV pins to work with standalone.
Car is 99% assembled short of doing the fuel pump wiring but i may just start it once i fix these couple of coolant leaks.
My metal joint for the heater core hose is funky so i need a regular clamp, and the line i used for the TB line that now goes to the turbo is too large.

It looks absolutely killer. You can't argue with how good the FFIM look on these engines compared to stock.

I almost completed the build in 3 months exactly. Took it apart about 6/20 and its 9/24 now.
Troubleshooting trigger issues with someone from the ecu group tonight so we'll see what happens.

Lack of updates sorry haha, I am mid-replacing the stock regulator with Aeromotive as we think my walbro 450 is putting a thrashing on it and we dont know the base pressure.
The engine basically floods every time you try and start it as it is even with cranking fuel WAY turned down. I had to change the oil even as it just smelled like gas hardcore.
I am also going to drain as much of the tank as i can when i get the regulator hooked up as i can just dump the return into a gas can. It almost smells like the bad gas that was in my snowmobile last year.
AN hose comes in today so ill get that line made and get back to work on this! If it doesn't start after this its going in the corner while so i can sort my jeep out for winter.

Fall update,
Got the car on rollers and turned it around for winter storage. Took the intake off and will get it over to my buddy to be fully Tig welded. Basically I was able to get the car to 500-700rpm run for a second then die. We concluded it's not building any vacuum and when pressurizing the intake I have leaks all over. Will try again during the week probably if my friend gets the intake done.
