Let me know how it goes.

My SC is up and running she fired right up at the first try no issues at all.
I had to reroute my IC Piping because it was the Fan was hitting it, I love the way my engine bay looks.
I don't know what the mess is going on with my Serial Cable!!! I tried load up my new fuel map but it won't connect to the AEM, so i will download the new version after work and see what happen.

nice, glad it fired up. try not to run it too long on the old fuel map it may run a little lean.
are you using a usb to serial adapter? 1 out of the 3 I bought worked, they are very random.

Thanks Guys lol it took me about 15mn to find that spot for the ignitor, I am loving that blanket and i already see the difference.

I will start my V160 swap next month, hopefully I won't have to pull the motor out if i do it at my JoB.

Yesterday i tried to get the car Tune and dyno but it didn't happen because the ignition was breaking up around 2k rpm can't go pass 2k RPM.
It's a ground issue and crank groung issue i will fix that maybe today, or tomorrow not sure when.

I replaced my block after i had a hard time removing the crank pulley and the crank had some bump on it "I thought i had crankwalked " No that's not truth but i will let you guys know after i get some proof of how that happened.
Running smoove and no misfiring at idle , i have drove the car for a 100 in vaccum this must be the slowest POS i have ever drove in my entire life lol, won't go in Boost because of the break up at 2k RPM.

Hey man what kind of grounding issues are you having? Did you get my PM regarding grounding questions? I eventually just traced it all out and grounded as per the factory wiring specs. I'm curious what kind of issues you are having since I want to avoid them myself

The crank ground was never grounded at the location were it was suppose to be i guess i forgot to move the pin over, and then every since i went with the Coil on Plug set up and deleted the distributor I will need to ground 79 and 80 coming from the ECU once they are ground to the chassis i don't have any issues no misfire no idling issues.
We came up with this idea when i first finished the the conversion and i couldn't get it to past 2700 Rpm on the dyno. I knew i will need more ground at the install but this time some of the grounds come from the battery , like the ignitor ground.

Why did you have to mess with the grounds? lol you should just left them untouch i never mess with the grounds because the car will never start if you forget the grounds.
Just make sure you install them the same way.
Which grounds are you talking about ? the ones on the Intake?
Let me know...

what happened man, I thought it was going past 2k rpm when i was playing with it.
I could have sworn we made bart move the pin over for the crank sensor ground when we were wiring stuff up. the cam and crank had dedicated grounds the way we wired it up.
Maybe its something in the settings, I wanna come check it out before its too late.

Pins 79 and 80 are labeled "chassis ground" in the aem manual.

I was just thinking is it possible the cam and crank ground got mixed up?
the crank ground should be pin 7B
the cam ground should be 6B
crank signal should be 27B
cam signal should be 26B

double check the colors and spots on those. if we used the original ground at the distributor for the cam ground then we may have the grounds switched, cause the original distributor shared ground goes to pin 7B.

As far as my grounds go, I just had to verify the sensors that needed to be grounded to the intake were, and that the ones needing to go back to the ecu did. I had to tie a couple loose grounds back to the intake grounds after joining the harnesses. I dont remember exactly which ones now that it is buttoned up.

Some sensors were isolated through the ECU, and some tied back together at the block(intake). I don't think it would REALLY matter either way, provided everything was grounded at some point, but I traced everything out and made sure it was all grounded per the factory wiring diagram.
