The wiring is done! I’m so sick of killing my neck and back wiring this shit! I also finished up the deep sump oil pan modification. Now to get the pan swapped out, fill with fluids and start this pig.

I need to add length to the pickup to match the pan depth. I spun up a spacer on my lathe, just need to test fit everything.

I was just looking at the pictures and the sump looks like I added 3", it's only 1.75" deeper.

I was like, "why the fuck did he extend it so far?!!"

Nice work. How much space did you leave between the pickup and the bottom of the pan?

I thought dragging oil pans on the ground was going to be the next big thing.

I looked at what others were doing and copied them. I guess I could have done a sideways extension. I looked at Boostin's and Kiggley's setups to make this. I'm looking at running a lot faster 60 foots this year due to the different first gear ratio in the dog box, 1.4 to 1.3 is the goal. Got it all installed this morning. I'm going to fill it with fluids and start the tune migration, hopefully have it running by Sunday.

Dam that looks good. With that kind of 60 foot times you should be able to get into the 8s

Pushit2.0 · 03-30-2013

Very nice, that will help with oil windadge also if you extend your oil dip stick.

Mark Leasure · 03-30-2013

I couldn’t find a new emblem for the bumper, so my father in-law made one out of stainless steel on his CNC mill. This is just awesome!

I also need to figure out how to get my 12 tooth crank trigger to work with the series 2 EMS, Kiggly has instructions for the series 1, but the series 2 is a little different.

**JET** · 03-30-2013

That is sick! Very nice touch.

evotuner · 03-30-2013

^Agreed

EclipseGST · 03-30-2013

That is badass! As always, you do awesome work, Mark! Cant wait to see this thing go down the track!

That badge is WAY too cool!

DSMINMN · 03-30-2013

+1 on the creativity with the badge.

93gtpeater · 03-30-2013

+1 on the badge

That badge is sick.

So did you weigh the SS badge and say "damn I wish he made it out of Aluminum"

X2. lol

Mark Leasure · 03-31-2013

Kind of funny, I have one that is aluminum too, it was the test part. The SS will hold up better, its much thinner and weigh about the same as the test part.

I almost have the ecu ready to go, I have the AEM serial gauge all setup now too. The CAN communication is all configured to read all of the widebands. I can display them on the serial gauge too to check them out.

Mark Leasure · 04-03-2013

Started it yesterday, not easy to get all of the 12 tooth stuff figured out. Lots of timing light time required. The 12 tooth wheel makes the car start instantly, and the timing is dead on with no drift like it had before at idle! It started faster than factory did, although my settings need adjustment big time as it starts harder when warm. The tune needs a ton of work, not even close, setup the injectors copied over the fuel map, set the micro-bits/second and it runs super pig rich. Lots of work to be done on the tune, that sucks.

Today I drove it around the block, the tilton clutch is the best thing ever, the engagement is super smooth, like street car semi metalic smooth. The dog box shifts like butter, the noise from the straight cut gears is awesome. 5th gear is quiet, since it’s factory. I cannot wait to get it all tuned up and get it down the track. The 4 wide bands are cool too, the only thing I need to get figured out is the idle solenoid, I have a feeling that the series 2 ecu is limited on a PWM output like the series one had support for. Fail

Also my car is on the main page of DSMTuners, highlighted as the build of the month. Kind of cool!

That sounds amazing.
