I think they are going to do it again next month, and again in October (weather permitting). Not sure if I'll run the SL again or the Caliber SRT-4. Maybe even my old black/tan GLH Turbo, which would...
I took the SL racing this weekend at a local autocross event. Wow, it was way fun even though I messed up a lot! I was really on the fence about taking it, but ended up going since it would be a good...
I reused the previous A568 and Luk clutch in the Lancer. The A568 came from a junkyard '90 turbo Caravan with 176k miles. Still holding up great! I put it in back '03 or so after the second A555...
AJ, how would you go about raising the boost past 14 psi or so? Right now all I have are some adjustable zener circuits...I've used those in the past with good results and will at least allow me to...
I turned up the boost (via grainger valve) to 12-13 psi at WOT today. It's a lot funner now than the 8 psi I had been running. All the driveline bugs are sorted and it runs fantastic and doesn't leak...
That's really what I think I want to do. I rewatched your YT videos of doing the conversion on your Lancer Shelby and I like the idea of using 4 relays. (1. outboard H4 lows, 2. outboard H4 highs, 3....
Anybody see any reason something like this wouldn't work? It looks like I could use this and add in a separate relay for the H1 and fog lights later.

Yeah, I've already fried a headlight switch on my SL before. Man that literally stunk! The TC harness in the car now has even thinner gauge wiring for the headlights so I'd be crazy not to put them...
Yup, I've done the E code housings already. I'll look a little more into it and rewatch your YT video on the H-body relays though.
Bunch of pigtails I got from Rock Auto to adapt the TC underhood wiring to the Lancer's headlights and turn signals. I didn't want to cut up the Lancer's previous modded SBEC underhood harness for...
Car is still running great; not much to say. I really haven't had to do much aside from add a little coolant after the air worked itself out. I drive it to work and it's been solid.
A local friend...
It's supposed to be 100'F on Wednesday and my plan is to go on the first road trip. I got all the coolant leaks fixed
And the car seems to run totally normal coolant temp wise with the new TU...
Nope, haven't done anything to the valve train other than look at it.
Got the car washed up, the exhaust welded back together, and most all of the leaks fixed. Now that the exhaust is a lot quieter, I'm still amazed at how quiet the cylinder head/valvetrain is. I have...

I took the car for a drive today. After a few short laps around the block making sure the brakes were OK, I took it to the carwash and then about 10 miles out of town so I could get it on the...
Cool, no problem. I got tomorrow off and am going over to look at that Shadow ES for sale in town, but that's about it.
My brother shut the video off a little too soon....after it warmed up a bit...
My brother got the first startup video on YouTube.

IT RUNS!!!
I spent most of the day tearing my hair out (and the car apart) trying to figure out what could be wrong. Took apart the timing belt and made sure that the cam timing was on, distibutor...
Oh yea, I totally forgot about that. I do but I'm not exactly sure where it is at the moment. I'm no longer going to use it though.

Well so far I've verified I have fuel and...
It's running an '89 SMEC harness from the 16v TC now. Before this it had a '91 SBEC harness from a GTC.
Also, I did take apart an ASD relay so I could manually trigger it. The fuel pump comes right on when I do that. I even tried holding the contacts together and then cranked the engine over and it...
I got it all put together and tried to start it tonight after work. So far, no-go. Cranks over just fine. Everything seems to come on OK and I can even check the fault codes with the key on-off...
Hey AJ, I've already had to grind off a nub on the intake manifold just to fit the aftermarket radiator fan! The fan/shroud will now drop right into place with the intake manifold installed (just...
