So here's the start of the updates. I got a little time to work on her today thanks to my generous wife. Finally got the side mouldings off and the adhesive all cleaned up.
Also I have finished my oil temp sender and gauge/stereo swap-out. I had to take the filter half of my relocate system to work and mill one of the holes deeper to fit the sensor probe. I was really happy to get a stereo that had illumination capable of changing to red to match the interior lighting. Especially because I bought it for fifty bucks and had no idea that it would at first...
The happy green light in the bottom of the dark pic is the Microtech just waiting for a chance to call the shots under the hood. I have also hooked up a second fog switch to the clutch and Microtech to operate the flatshift function. It works pretty well but I haven't tried it on the road yet. I've found that it does not quite limit RPM to the specified number. I'll be able to say more once I try it out of the garage.
Continuing plans are as follows:
- Replace the original intake manifold less VTCS to see if the VICS has a better effect on power than the hogged out one.
- Run the motor for one oil change (possibly time shortened) then install OE oil cooler to see the effects on the oil quality and temps
- Continue adjusting fuel maps to clean up the tune.
- Some other tidbits are in the works but will be keeping them on the DL for right now.
