TX = send channel on a data line.

Ah - makes sense....

BTW - I'd love to join you at Summit, but it'll have to be next year since I'm nowhere near done w/ my car, lol.

I am interested to hear your thoughts on that rtek though...

Yes... sort of. Tx usually denotes send channel on the data line, however it's also the designation of the Palm I'm using to run the RTek. Which, by the way I have working (for the most part).

Oh don't worry, my car won't be ready this year either. I'll have just done the engine and suspension. I'll still have to get the interior and exterior up to snuff.

So far the Rtek is really nice. I enjoy the ease of use, it's only giving me trouble because of the Palm I use (just because I already have it). I'm still working on some issues with the logging, but for the most part it has the ability to track everything you'd need from a stand-alone, and plus some. This is however only temporary. I'm planning on going full stand alone at some point in the future, but that has yet to be finalized as I still need to locate some cannon plugs (or someone who's willing to construct the harness for me). I'm thinking sometime over spring semester or so.

You can set alarms and triggers for datalogging, and there's a few other features I still want to toy around with. But that's going to have to be tomorrow.

haha, sorry. I was just biding my time until my court date. So far I have a few of the major components I need. I still will be ordering a few things from specific vendors but right now I have the following coming in:

Shifter Boot
E-Brake Boot
680 Injectors x 2
FD Alt
FPR
Y-Block
Rear Wiper Motor
FD Fuel Pump

I still need to find a pair of 550's lo-imp. The guy on here just went silent so I don't know what's going on with that. If worse comes to worse I'll just have to buy a set off of 7club.

Alright, basically due to money problems I have stalled on this project. I'm currently held up on ordering raw materials such as Stainless steel pipe (3in), mufflers, presilencers, and getting stainless steel flanges cut/made/ordered. I'm also planning on ordering a cannon plug and some wire as I now have a source to pick those up. Which leads me to hold off on ordering anything for it until next semester as I have LARGE purchases coming up (which include laptop, engagement and wedding ring, etc) so... who knows.

Also of effect does anyone know of where to order alternator parts online? I'm wanting to use a customized FD alt so I need to source those components as well. Not to mention an FD to FC dual Alt Pulley.

Marriage huh? That'll put a dent in the car project! Congrats though nonetheless.

Besides the FD to FC dual alt pulley - what other alt parts do you need?

FD alt rebuild parts, so I'll need just about everything, minus the stator. Bearings and everything are good, so is the core. I have a list of things I need and a site that tells me what the part numbers are, but they don't let the average person buy off them. Give me a sec and I'll be able to dig it up.

I need a rectifier and regulator

Rectifier

I might buy some slip rings too

As for the marriage bit, I doubt it'll significantly slow it down any. She likes my car and wants me to complete it

Well... it's a new semester and I have about 80% of the parts I need to install a turbo on my car.

I have ordered a few things, mainly an RB engine to header flange, some mild steel mandrel bends, and some por15. I also secured a garage for use come Feb. This should be quite fun. I'll hopefully have pics and stuff posting when I start the project.

The reason for lack of pictures is I don't really have a camera (well, that's a lie. I have a camera I'm just too lazy to find some double A's to put in it).

Right now the engine bay is about 90% apart. I still have some harnesses and a few things on the drivers side that I need to remove before prepping the bay for paint. I've looked again at the rear rotor through the Bore Scope and still see standing liquid there. I'm not sure if it's gas or not, but the smell is of gas and I can't seem to sop it up--but then again I haven't really tried recently. I shall try it more when I have the chance and might even syphon as much as I can out of the housing.

I've ordered a few more parts, mainly the stainless steel mufflers, some stainless steel line, and fittings for the fuel rails that I modified.

Apparently the mild bends I ordered never actually got sent, or processed so I'm considering going with schedule 40 stainless steel. I have very, very limited space so I will be attempting to figure out the best way to cut and make the turbo manifold.

I'm currently waiting on No Limit Industries to finish production on a tube kit for me which will get the project on the face track.

Here's hoping.
