    Cool! I was fighting a grounded wire on the crankshaft sensor. Once I got a new one it fired right up. It also showed me I had a loose oil turbo feed hose too,haha.

    What's the difference in this new head and your old one btw?

    I have few more things to adjust and do but the biggest part is now over. I guess 3 1/2 month old 2 gallons of e85 in the car runs it just fine. I'll fill up after Christmas.

    New head is ported, has huge intake and exhaust valves, has .600 lift springs and retainers, and an esslinger turbo cam. Should work well with the other stuff i have coming..

    Well I went and got gas and my battery didn't charge. My AutoZone special replacement alternator failed. I'll be getting a new one there tomorrow. I'm almost tempted to put a used bosch alternator in. Seems like the AutoZone ones are hit or miss from what I'm reading.

    Yes, their quality control is lax. But you get what you pay for. Try napa.

    After having a leaking oil feed line and erratic air fuel the car finally drove well today after changing O2 sensor and replacing the oil line and oil cooler sandwich plate. It was fun being able drive it again.

    Yes and no, I'm going drive it for a bit. I think I have about 10 miles on the new motor. I'm going to drive it for bit until I ready to romp on it. I really need to put the G80 in it next.

    Finally have over 500 miles on the new engine. I'm running 17 psi and leaning up in upper RPMs. I'll have to retune and/or upgrade my pumps. The car is making good power on less boost.

    That's always good though! More power, less boost! Should run good once you get it dialed in.

    I'll probably just add a little fuel pressure until I buy a chip burner. I had my gas wideband go to 12.9:1 which I would like to see around 12-12.5. I'm going to just fixing odds and ends on it now.

    I'll probably try it out on a later date. I'm curious what kind of power it makes though.

    50 is fair, I need to get someway of tuning it before I take it. I borrowed a ostrich 2.0 and had a guy burn me a chip last time. I want either of those two things before I make it up. Right now I would only be dynoing at 17 psi. I want to bump that up still.
