Chapter GMW | E30 LS1 (starting on post #1427)

I gapped my plugs from .030 to .025. Hopefully this will help the cause. They all looked the same except for cylinder #1 which was a little oily. #ohgod
I'm guessing that it is due to a lack of CCV and pressure is building up at the front of the motor because the stock CCV is as big as a pencil.
I'm dropping off the car on Monday to get the exhaust work done.

Update:
The car is currently at the exhaust guys shop. Let the welding commence! I'm going 3" stainless all the way back to a straight through 3" in/out borla muffler. I'm getting a flex pipe welded into the downpipe along with 2 O2 sensor bungs and my one way valve for the CCV vacuum. V-band will connect the downpipe to the rest of the exhaust.
Once I get the car back I'm going to port and tap the valve cover for the CCV. Then we should be good!
As for the tune I'm in contact with TRM. I'm going to pressure test the system to be 100% sure I don't have any leaks then see what they can do to adjust the AFR.

What wideband sensor/controller are you getting?
If you get an Innovate LC-1/MTX-L you can run a simulated narrowband signal to the stock ecu which is more accurate than the narrowband. When I still had a Motronic ECU, I did this and it ran the best it ever did until it saw an extra 0.1V from the o2 sensor that it wasnt expecting and threw a CEL. That was before I figured out how to adjust the output values though. They can be adjusted to make sure they dont go out of limits for what the ECU is expecting to see.

I have the PLX Devices unit. It looks pretty smart. Do you know if this is capable of the same thing?

What resistor do you have to use?

I like the mudflaps, what brand are they?
Kamotors made them. He is on r3vlimited.com

I never ran a resistor, but since I run Megasquirt now, I have no need to run simulated narrowband. I'd try it without a resistor first if you are going to give it a shot.

Bad experience? He has always been good with my transactions.

Are they hard plastic? They look stiff, I have rallyarmor urethane ones and they are nice and bendy.
They are bendy.

Will do. Do you happen to have the pin #s for the ecu?

Oh, no he is a good guy. Some people just tend to think that he fabricates some of the things he sells himself and as such, they cannot be obtained anywhere else (intakes, mirrors, etc) which are actually just bulk purchased items from sites like Alibaba.com. The markup on those parts is pretty substantial. One can usually save big money by buying them elsewhere.
