He said it woke his car up. Hoping for the same. I'd like to see it make 300whp on the stock turbo and 93 octane, before upgrading the turbo.

I got Stefan's old AEM EMS4 out of his TIII Turbo Z.

I decided it wasn't worth repairing the 30 odd year old RT computer, and acquired a standalone engine management system for it. So I'll be installing that this summer sometime. Should wake it up...

Yeah, FB is an easy bad habit lol. I am on there a lot more than forums for sure. I can find old stuff on there but it's a pain, the forums are a better archive.

Been a minute since I updated this ;) I got most of the bugs worked out, drilled my hybrid trans with the posi for the crank sensor, which then still didn't work because for some reason the pad was...

Thanks guys! It definitely has little bugs to chip away at. Trip nav decided to smolder itself to death, right side headlights are super dim (guessing ground issue), headlight doors stopped working...

It drives! Got the exhaust hooked up yesterday and finished hooking up the water lines and pump for the intercooler day before. So, drove it to Quaker Steak and Lube in Greenville last night for a...

No joke, that is a true story it seems...;)



Air cooled TIII...because, you know, they don't have enough problems as it is... lol

Made some progress, got a new cam sensor from AJ so it starts every time now. Found the serpentine belt tensioner was bad when I tried to install a new belt, and broke it while trying to free it up...

Found out my cam sensor is bad :mad: Also, installed my freshly rebuilt alternator.

I had thought about this, but someone was saying it won't evaporate out easily. I guess if you hit it with a hair dryer or something though...

Broken wire in the power feed daisy chain to the injectors, not sure how but probably messed it up stripping it for the connector.

Then, found I had wired the coil pack wrong, so rewired...

Actually someone just couldn't sleep lol, I quit working on it around 8pm ;)

Now to finish cleaning this mess up.

It's finally alive!

Still on a 20lb lifting limit. But I'm allowed to get out and move around, and wiring stuff is light ;)

Got enough of the wiring done to try starting it. At first, thought the computer wasn't being powered up (don't have the CEL wire run yet). Got the circuit tester out, ASD is working and triggering...

Well, I guess this is overdue for an update. Mostly just got more wiring finished up, and got the column reinstalled properly. Finished installing the new Eibachs. Here's a bunch of random pics of...

Wire finally showed up, now I can pretty much finish up the wiring except for 1 or 2 colors they didn't have.

Got some more wiring done, relay triggers, couple computer power wires, half the O2 wires, MAP sensor wired. Ordered some color-coded wire to finish most of the rest with.

Found some more extra junk harnesses and adjusted routing slightly and got a bit more done. TPS, VSS, cam and crank sensors, injector triggers all wired. 1 wire on the IAT, 1 wire on CTS and 1 wire...

Finally rounded up all the pigtails needed. Just gotta wire it all up now. Oh, still need a maxi fuse panel too. And probably order a few striped wire lengths so I can finish it out with factory wire...

Kinda, but I decided I'd rather have no plug at all between the SBEC and the sensors as much as possible. Shortest wire length possible and no connections in between should allow the most accurate...

Made some more headway. Figured out what wires are going where, mounted relays and map sensor, semi-organized what I have so far. Waiting on some wiring supplies now, also want to get a maxi fuse...
