That is awesome Joe. I have already made out my check to the Tax Collectors Office, I will fill in the blank when I actually get the ticket. I will have them set me up a tab. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)



You better make out a few checks. It's effin' fast.

James,

It runs great, but it's too rich. Basically, the programming will continue on a line that supports an incremental reduction in fuel delivery.

I doubt you want 12 MPG.

Just wait. It'll be perfect.....

Today, I put down the video camera and took the car for a real drive.

I don't know if it's just the muffler's sound making me think this thing is faster than a normal 3.2, or if it really is.

Either way, it's very quick.

On a slightly negative note, we have a substantial oil leak from somewhere around the breather outlet on top of the engine. It could be one of the O rings in the oil thermostat or a bad seal in the idiot light switch. I'm going to have to clean the area up and figure out where it's coming from. At least it's not one of the cam towers....

I also have yet to see a working tachometer. I've tried two different units that should work with the signal this computer outputs, but no dice.

I'll be back on it on Wednesday.

I had a nasty leak in my 3.2 a few years ago. My worst fear was a leak in the cam tower. It turned out to be the oil pressure switch. An easy fix. I was told it is not unusual for that switch to leak.

I think I found the leak.

When the engine arrived at S9, I noticed the crankcase vent was put on backwards.

I removed the four nuts, turned it around and bolted it back up. What I didn't notice was that the gasket isn't symmetrical, so it should have been turned around too.

Long story short, it's a bitch to get to with the engine in the car and the FI installed, but I fixed it.

James, that one's on me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Now I need to clean up all the oil and hope we don't see much more. Trying to get a six to be completely drip-free can be a tall order, but I don't think we should need a beach towel to clean up the oil under the car after each drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Really hope there's no leak from the crankcase vent. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

I had some major break-throughs on the programming today. Over the past few days, I've done a huge amount of reading. Today, I started data logging with each programming change I made.

The engine runs out to redline in under full load and I'm getting good O2 sensor readings almost across the board. There are a few tweaks to be made, but I think I'm very close.

I think I've got this one by the nuts.

I'm trying to become a recommended tuner for Clewitt Engineering, so when I think it's finished, I have to submit the data file for approval. Hopefully that will go well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I'm planning delivery by August 1st.

More tuning and detail work today. August 1st is still the target delivery date.


James, I'd like to have you down next week for a pre-delivery meeting and drive.

I'm not into big game, but there will be a mini Blues concert the 22nd at the Gazebo in Fleming Island, part of their free out door summer concert series. Joe, you still heading this direction soon?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Good news!

The FI programming is finished and has been approved by Mr. Clewett himself. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)



James, I hope you're coming down on Saturday. Your car is ready for you to drive it. If you don't show, I may have to offer test drives to drum up some more business. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)



As of last night, Nelson committed to converting his engine to this system as well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

James, I'm going to offer you "royalties" on the programming I have for your engine. We'll work out some service credits or something like that for each time I pass on the data.

Beautiful job Joe. It's nice to see someone who really cares about what they do.

I am backtracking a little on some updates that I some how forgot to do. In this issue:

Custom Subwoofer box, Dynamat results and Modified Center Console and Real Inlaid Burl Dash Plate-No Plastic for me.



Attached Image
I made a custom subwoofer box to get a 10" Sub in the floor and still have room for feet.

Attached Image
I also made a real Burl faceplate and trim for the center console. Not a platic kit.

Attached Image
I had to build a new modified center console to accept the new sub box. I decided to add a cup holer after I took this picture-I know Blasphemy.



Attached Image
Finished the mock up and ready to be covered.

These are a couple photos as it sat at Joe's yesterday. Just a few things to finish up, but really close. It needs a little cleaning up but that is the easy part. I will post the final photos when everything is back together.

Attached Image
This is a shot of one of the two oil coolers. I was really impressed how well Joe got these to fit in the space available. The supports Joe made hold them in place, rock solid. Very Smooth.

I got to drive it yesterday and it pulls like a freight train. I pulled the shifter knob off changing gears it was so fun. Joe still has a few minor adjustments to make but I am very happy with the project. Joe has been super. As many issues as I have had with this project, it was about time for things to come together.

It was great having the Florida gang at Joe's yesterday. It is great having that kind of knowledge around, I feel smarter already. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Hey Joe!

Could you let me know where you found the following 2 parts:

1. 14 x 1.5mm to hose adapter on the motor (fuel return side)
2. the banjo fitting to hose adapter on the fuel pump (what size is that thing)

I'll be running 9.5mm fuel hose on delivery and 8mm on return and am having a hard time finding these pieces (or perhaps my search effort sucks).
