Finally Going Single! Part 2 by cohbra

The base map I am using is from BDC's website that I modified by adding more fuel to be safe, and by retarding the timing from P10-P20. There were a few other changes I made, but not many. The map was for a very similar setup as mine, ie. 850/1680's, 3 bar map sensor, street port, etc. 

With that being said, right now, it idles like crap! Tonight I adjusted the TPS which was out of whack, but I haven't been able to check it out yet. I am hoping that it will idle better in the morning when I don't have to worry about waking up the wife/kids/neighbors. It does sound pretty mean, but I don't have any exhaust on it from the mid-pipe back. I will have to take it to an exhaust shop to have a new mid-pipe made up so that I don't have the old hollowed out cat in there anymore.

This really sucks! It looks like I'm going to have to pull the tranny. I can't get the clutch to pull in. I'm thinking that the little wire ring between the pressure plate and the disc is not where it should be.

After pulling the transmission this afternoon, I finally found out what my problem was. Like an idiot, I put the clutch disc in backwards. That was a big waste of time... I wish I would have been paying attention the first time around. Now I can finally get it out of the garage tomorrow and work on the idle.

I decided that I wanted to be able to log my EGTs so that they would be more useful to me so I ordered a pair of these from the Sensor Connection. They have a nice digital readout as well as a 0-5v or 1-5v output on them and a relay output alarm contact.

Now For Sale - Been powered up maybe 10 times.

Easy enough!

Installed my CF side skirt add-ons tonight too. I'm not sure what to think about them. I like how it makes the car look a little lower, but I also like the more simplistic look.
