Awesome! Wish I worked in a machine shop, so many toys
I've been working there for six months now(today-woohoo I get a raise) and it's honestly amazing. I love doing what I do. It's never the same, and I'm not just doing one job.
Oh, and having the keys to the place is just a bonus haha. And it's always 72 degrees in there so I have never broken a sweat.

So Mitch dropped his MS3x off at my place for testing and whatnot, and he had purchased it from someone who built it. Needless to say what I saw was a bit scary, and it doesn't work.... I will let the pictures do the talking.
Parts not sitting on the board, touching other things
Melted pots (grey block)
More parts off of the board
Long wires that should be trimmed, melted PCB, some wires were touching the case
Total mess
Very melted, some pads pulled through, solder pooled together

I should upload pics of mine for comparison now lol.
I didn't get around too it last night, but I will see what functions tonight and go from there. I see 3 issues already

also, I just about finished the design of the surge tank, just not sure how many litres I need. The two pumps will be partially submerged, such as this
also, My brother is back, and the m20 is getting worked on!

Have fun tuning your idle with massive injectors
Yea I think I might have to do staged injection for cost purposes. Good injectors that idle well at well into the 1000$ range. I'm thinking I'm just gonna buy the injectors I thought I had (Seimens deka 80lbers) which will be fine for the stock dme for now and e85.

This is looking great, is there a reason stock radiator hoses won't work?
Because the radiator will be in the rear of the car, if I used the same size hose, I would have a HUGE cooling capacity. I can't really get a definite answer on what size I should use, So I just based it off what dsm guys used (3/4) and added a little extra for the extra 2 cylinders
I'M CLUELESS ON COOLING SYSTEM. Not really though, just need some guidance.
