I decided it was about time for an update as it has been a little while. I've been messing with the electronics. I solved the crank sensor issue and moved on to tuning with the srt injectors. It was running great except for a light stumble on tip-in. I played with it for a while then upgraded the firmware on the AEM to a new beta with tip-in control and bam, nice and smooth.

So, I pulled her in the garage this morning and worked on my plasma cut SC mount. It needed some cleaning up and the holes drilled. I took care of that in short order, picked up the bolts and washers that I needed and mounted the Rotrex. I then wasted some time on the SC belt. I found a 5 rib (not what I wanted, but it helped me identify the right size) belt and installed it. It looks like I'm going to have to re-position my tensioner a bit to get the most out of it.

It was getting late, so I decided to start cutting hoses and mock up what I envisioned. I need another 90 degree hose to finish her off and I have to incorporate the BOV before the IC. The intake track comes out, down, and underneath the headlight (the blue hose is going away, it is there from an earlier test and was pre-cut). The plan is to route it over into cool air and cap it with a filter.

The rest is there minus cleaned up ends and t-clamps!



So now I have to circle back to the tensioner and belt until I am happy with that part. I also have to pickup some cooler plugs, the last 90 degree silicone hose, a 6-rib belt, etc.

Then I have to address the front mount HE, water pump, hoses, the rotrex fluid HE, and rotrex fluid reservoir.

Believe it or not, the hood actually closes!
