Car progress...

oooouuch!!!! Do think all that leaking oil from the turbo for so long took out the wide band o2? All that oil that was in your exhaust pipe might have gotten on it. I've seen blown headgaskets take out o2 sensors from fluid getting on them.

Yea i believe that had to do with it along with having the car sit outside all winter with barely any driving... Condensation kills o2 sensors.

Jared and i took the tranny apart monday night... gears are at Nitro Freeze right now getting Cryoed!!

If anyone is interested in getting this done, let me know. The Cyrogenic place is right down the street from me.

Turbo is good up to 650hp i believe... i don't see myself running over 20psi just yet.

Sucks to hear man but atleast it's an excuse to build the motor lol.

Regarding what I bolded; its not a bad idea to have another WB to verify AFs but you will not be able to use lean cut nor run closed loop. I dont have a problem with not having closed loop as I am always running open loop but not having lean cut is a problem for me. God forbid my pump fails or I accidently run too little fuel without lean cut protection. Im picking up another primary and using a plx m300 to just verify the AFs.

Yea i got new bosch o2 sensors in and will continue to use the AEM UEGO and i will probably get the Innovate LM-1 wideband meter as a back-up to verify AF's

Looks like there will be a delay in getting my motor back together... seems now that Manley and BCrower are out of stock on the K rods. 3-4 weeks to get in. Will be ordering Manley.

well since i got some time on my hands waiting for my rods to come in, i've decided to relocate my gauges from the triple a-pillar pod to where the radio used to be who needs music anyways.

Reason this all came about... during my thought-to-be electrical issues last month, we chased a wire back behind my radio so upon trying to remove the head unit, the top right corner broke off. When we got the unit out i was amazed by how heavy it is... case closed... see ya lata!!

I got myself a sheet of Lexan and cut out a bunch of templates for me to work with. I have 6 total to play with... here is my first attempt...





The blue you see is just a protectant that comes on both sides.
