7 But I have zero regret. After the drive home I have a thought though… my turbo 16v was freaking fast. This is lazy in comparison… but maybe with better auxiliaries it will impress. I am looking forward to a clean and simple engine bay again. It’s currently running stock electronics, so a FREEDOM ECU should be relatively easy to fit, […]
3 This has actually been fun. I’ve learned a lot. It’s back together, and I’ll see if it runs shortly. You’ll notice I’m now using a large port head. I even kept TVIS. Not that it’s what I wanted… more because I cleaned my small port head with degreaser. It really didn’t like that, and now all the parts that need […]

Here is a cut and paste of an email I sent to a curious friend this morning. Maybe not dead, but definitely damaged. Hard to tell why though… and part of me wonders if it wasn’t related […]
Shake Down. Got the car out on the road this afternoon. I should have recorded the drive… because I was so elated it would have been a noteworthy video. The car actually sounds turbo-charged. Somehow I didn’t think it would be so pronounced given my low boost level. Wrong. AFR’s seem safely rich 9-10:1 WOT although I never let the […]
