Got the Knocksense module addon.
Tomorrow I should get my header flanges, t4 flange, and vband clamp kit.
I have a couple questions for you Megasquirt guys. I am trying to understand how the Spark portion works with the distributor. The spark wire goes to the PTU, but the PTU has this capacitor thing...
A couple things I am doing to circumvent this is to leave the harness open and not sealed up. It goes against the notions of the original harness and being sealed against dirt, debris, water, etc....
Well let's fast forward a bit to the end result of the weekend's work. I attached the flywheel. clutch disc with alignment tool, pressure plate to engine. I got the transmission on the new engine and...
All I need to do is wiring, the seats will go back in and then I need a cage but yea there's a fair amount of work left.
Well more accomplished today. Cleaned up the transmission a bit, pulled some of the bolts out of the transmission and then cleaned them up and re-inserted them back in the transmission 1 by 1....
It has been awhile since the last update. Life happened and that took priority a little bit. So I decided today that it would be good to get some work done on this car. First thing is to yank the old...

Yea the only trick is not destroying the hardlines trying to take off the rusty fittings. I lucked out and was able to spray PB blaster then carefully loosen the fitting. Once I got the fitting off,...
Monday I got the radiator fans installed on the radiator, dropped the fuel pump assembly in place.
So two small things accomplished last night. Got my three fittings, finished up the fuel...
I wrapped a lot of teflon tape on the threads and threaded it in fairly far without stripping out the housing.
I know, I have a powerstop kit on my BMW and I have had no issues. It's actually quite easy, just open the access door under the trunk floor, under the spare tire, unbolt the fuel feed line...
Been awhile since I have updated:
Installed the 3SX inverted flare for the fuel lines:

Oh you bought that. I saw that on CL and passed on it. It should be a fun car though, get a transfer case brace for the transfer case and maybe if it hasn't been done, a bell housing brace too as...
76 lb/hr injectors on the way as well as new 320 LPH fuel pump, fittings, lines, and some miscellaneous transmission bolts.
Well let's see here. I got what I think is a lot, but most here would say otherwise, but alas, here's the rundown:
Front rotors are installed on the hub.
I screwed up a caliper, so I have two...
Cross drilled/slotted rotors and pads showed up yesterday. Waiting on reverse switch for the trans. Engine pull has been delayed a bit, will pull the CV Axles on Saturday and start cleaning up the...
They recommend that during a 6G72 rebuild with intentions of greater than 400whp to replace wrist pins with stronger wrist pins due to the torque that is exerted on the connecting rods. They also...
Not a whole lot going on lately in this build. Been doing a lot of wiring and re-wiring. I did manage to get the air to water intercooler and heat exchanger setup where I want it. The icebox gets...
Worked on some injector wiring last night. I am extending the harnesses a bit so I have a neater looking engine bay as the end result. So far so good, more to come.
Engine is just about built... The bolt was found, I had to remove the water pump as it was sitting under the water pump outlet. The last thing to do on this engine is to pick up a few items that were...
I did buy the SOHC set as I have all of the gaskets required for the rebuild. Anywho, the engine is getting assembled, I assembled a lot of stuff last night then I dropped a bolt into the abyss and...
