Woohoo time for lots of updates, though none of these are in any kind of significant order. Finally got my new Megasquirt box and plugged in. After some fiddleing around with my tunerstudio settings I got it all started up only to discover I was getting some really bad line noise issues through my CAS wires that were causing my engine to run like crap, after trying to rewire it multiple times I just decided to ditch it, and went with a FFE trigger kit with the hall sensor, and went ahead and got a new wiring harness as well since the old one was my first ever attempt, and I figured I could run everything a bit cleaner looking the second time around.
Install of the FFE kit was amazingly simple, whole thing took less then an hour, and along with my new harness the engine is running much, much smoother, idle AFR's sit at a stable 13.5 once warmed up, and the car pulls great through all gears, just now have to get my ignition timing set and everythign will be good to go.
Also while the car engine was down I decided to do some cosmetic work. Finally got my old cracked up windshield replaced, which I shouldnt have to say makes driving allot nicer. Also picked up an entire grey interior from a friend of mine and put all that in. While I had all the rear carpets/plastics out I sprayed the interior body metal black so that the original white body wasnt so obvious showing through any gaps in the carpet/plastics. Also took out my old messed up black dash and put the grey one in. I cant believe how much better it all looks, and even the two tone black/grey interior looks allot better then I though it was going to be.
Next up once my tax refund gets here is to finally get my header and RB exhaust hooked up, hopefully it'll sound gobs better then the stock system, and will give me a little bit more get up and go.
