Hey gang,

• The boost has been adjusted on the wastegates. MInimum boost now set at 10 lbs.

• The Profec B is being removed, and boost will be controlled by the Autronic ECU, as it is a much better way to do...Anybody need a Profec B? .

• I had to order the Serial Port connector and terminator plug from Innovate so I can re-program the second analog output connected to the AFR Gauge. That will fix the gauge, and I can then read boost from the cabin without having to connect my computer to my car just to see AFR readings when driving around.

• Completing the wire trace so I can stop having to press the manual release every time I want to move the gated shifter into reverse or park from drive....Currently, that is a serious pain in the rear...

If all goes well, I should have the car back on the dyno next week with Darin. I will keep you posted.

Thanks to Dan Osypian for all of his help.

Just want tp give all of you an update. As I mentioned recently, I needed to get the boost controller sorted out, along with the Innovate Air/Fuel gauge reading the mix coming from the wideband, fix the gated shifter auto shift lock issue, and button up the car. This is all completed now.

The Innovate is a pain...great unit, accurate, quality, but, the LC1 is a bit painful and very complex to set up and program. The wideband has to frequently be "free air" calibrated because any anomaly in the wiring resets it. It also cannot share power and ground with other devices because of it's stringent tolerances for voltage. But it is working well now...

My interior is mostly buttoned up now, and that makes my car feel much more complete. No more tons of wires hanging out everywhere. You can see from the pics that it now looks like a car again...

Just finalizing a few more items and back to the dyno...hopefully within the next few weeks at most. Car drives well...

The customizing of my interior will be after the dyno, and then the buttoning up of the exterior. Wow, it has been a very long time...

More to come soon. 

I want to be sure to give credit where it is due...Dan Osypian has been doing all of this most recent work for me...I simply do not have the time due to work demands on my time, so Dan stepped up and did it for me...He is one of the very few I have ever trusted to work on this project, especially with the complex wiring that is required for a project such as this one. Dan's work is excellent due to his meticulous nature, and he treats my car as if it's his own...Many props to Dan!!!

This project would be stalled so very much longer if he did not work on it.

Many bows to you Dan
