Finally Going Single! Part 2 by cohbra

Thanks for the compliments guys, it's been a long haul on this project since I lost an apex seal a little over 4 years ago. I decided that I wasn't doing anymore work on the car until I had the money to do everything that I wanted to do (Under the hood anyway). I saved for a little over 3 years before I even started buying parts. Once I had parts on the way, I started tearing it down and began mocking up the engine bay with the new oil coolers, turbo, FMIC, etc. Once I had the majority of the fabrication done, I sent the car to my buddy's paint shop, and then I began polishing everything that I hadn't already polished. So, Long story short, mymmeryloss, I did all of the polishing myself, but I had a lot of time to do it. If you want polished parts, I recommend spending some time, and money at someplace like Eastwood.com. They have lots of information, tutorials, and products that can greatly simplify the process. I'm sure there are other websites out there, but I haven't found any with the selection that they have. I would also recommend that you pick up a "Beast" of a polisher somewhere, and don't be cheap because it will pay for itself in no time. If you have 220vac in your garage, definitely buy one that is 220vac. Craigslist or eBay might be your best bet there. Just like your car, the more HP you have, the quicker you'll get it done.

My new toy arrived in the mail today. Now I'll be logging Fuel pressure, Front & Rear EGTs, Water/Meth injection pressure, & AFR from the AEM Uego. I've been waiting on this so that I can see my fuel pressure while in the car and verify that my SARD fuel pressure regulator is setup & working correctly. I had planned on spending this money on an FJO Low impedance injector driver to eliminate all of the damn resistors, but they are apparently on back order until "some time next year" according to everywhere I try to order it from.
