Upd8's plz
I wish there was one. Haven't heard from Kummrow since Monday. Texted on Wednesday with no response. I hope I'll get a pleasant surprise today.
I have to stop and get my radar detector out of my e30 before I head up to Automotion today at 12.

Just got a call from Kummrow and they found out what the problem is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The key that holds the timing pickup wheel (remember guys I'm OBD1) sheared and was stuck 180 degrees off. Hence everything working but the timing off.
They are going to over torque the bolt and add loctite. THEN THE DOC IS BACK ON THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is saving my wallet!!
Now I have 2 ecus just in case one dies!
I seriously have been having terrible dreams about my car being worked on and constantly finding something broken/loose. Last night I was physically pushing the car back and for from Klode park in Whitefish Bay to something that looked like the Porsche tech's wing in Concours.

Hey! Me and TJ tried to chase you down on Saturday night by the Flamingo in the dells... and like a ghost you vanished to the night.

The culprit.

She is running great!
The "to-do" list:
- Finalize wideband wiring.
- Heat wrap turbo and downpipe.
- Swap wastegate vacuum line for a larger inner diameter one. (This should result in more boost.)
- Get boost up to 18-20psi.
- Dyno the car and record boost.
- Send results to TRM for an updated tune.
- I'm forgetting other little things but they aren't motor related.

How much downtime do you get when you send the ecu to TRM
-
If I pay for next day air both ways 3-4days. They are great to work with.
Haha. Megasquirt next year.

Those probably have added up to the price of megasquirt by now=P
You might be correct.

I got my wideband hooked up correctly two days ago.
Today I'll be stopping by Pegasus Racing for some heat wrap and the larger diameter hose with the correct a/n fittings.

Good to hear man! Now go burn some rubber

As predicted she goes back on jack stands. Oil light came on after a 3rd gear pull against a crotch rocket. I didn't seize the motor so hopefully I'll be all good.
I have no oil leaks. The level is right where it should be. I'm guessing that the oil pump bolt loosened up. I know that Kummrow didn't weld/safety wire the nut. Ugh.
Anyone want to swing by and wrench today? I can get the grill going!
I don't want to pull the motor so I'm going to drop the subframe. I wanted to paint it anyway. (Calling Zachary) Anyone have an engine brace that braces from the fenders?
