Last night it was tough to cold start but hot started just fine. Today it started just fine cold and hot. I'm getting really tired of this issue haha. I also changed a GPS setting on the Torque app, using an external GPS instead of the internal GPS, and I thought it might work but it didn't. Same is...

I drove the car tonight to test the changes I made last night. None of them worked haha. I also changed the launcher back to the original Joying launcher from the Car Launcher app, and ran the Torque app through that. No changes. I switched back to Car Launcher and removed the autostart feature from...

Friday and that night the car started pretty easily, but Sunday it was having trouble again. But it would start after some convincing. Last week it seemed like I was having boost issues. I drove it on Sunday to test boost and it seemed like it was operating normally. I was hitting 10psi in 1st, 15ps...

For the past couple years, it seemed like I was having issues with low fuel pressure while driving, and at idle, it looks like my fuel pressure is hovering around 35psi. I realized last night that I have everything I need to verify this, so I used a 6AN male to 6AN male with a 1/8NPT port and an old...

I finally finished the headlight repair, replacing all the adjustment hardware with new. Everything I could get anyway, which was everything but the largest bolt. But it's all solid now. And I repaired the cover a while back, but it still looks like crap on the outside haha. I also fired up the car ...

I took the line up to Denver today and Brad brazed the stainless fittings on. It looks wonderful, exactly what I was going for. He was saying I wouldn't have to get it plated again, but after using a wire wheel to remove all the flux, it also removed the plating I believe. So now I'm trying to decid...

I added a battery power bypass yesterday, for when the circuit breaker pops and won't reset for a minute and I'm in traffic needing to start the car immediately. I thought maybe it was a bug with the circuit breaker, but after looking up other breakers, it seems like it's a feature, so I decided to ...

I bought a OBD2 to USB cable and plugged it directly into my head unit. It seems to work so far, hopefully this solves the connection issues. https://www.amazon.com/OBDLink-EX-FORScan-OBD-Adapter/dp/B081VQVD3F/ref=sr_1_6?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.KrSeTFMxvWfcfM5V9ObF-V0RzYMviZyzvprck1P10HTkGoyruiZ8Rqr9P15Wts...

Last night I made the new hard line for the catch can. It came out really nice, especially since I buffed it a little with a high count sandpaper and then steel wool afterwards. It came out much nicer than the last line. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53588037283_f23b10cbad_k.jpg 20240313_22511...

Xavier welded the fittings on for me, the one for vacuum was closed almost completely haha, so I drilled it out through the end of the fitting. He tacked the vacuum extension on, but I might just cut it off. I test fit a different line with just the stock vacuum end along with a soft line with an ad...

I had an epiphany a few days ago. I thought of using the stock turbo oil feed line about a year ago but I thought it would interfere with my heat shield on top of the engine. I have the spare engine block on the work bench so I decided to test fit the line. It sits snug to the engine and will route ...

Xavier and I messed with timing more on Monday after I realized I was misusing the timing light and therefore giving incorrect information for timing. We got it changed back to the correct settings, but the car has been more difficult to start again. I've tried adjusting cranking fuel, cranking timi...

I took the car out last night to see if I could get the smoke to clear up and break some more carbon loose with high RPM. The smoke did go away eventually, but the check engine light kept going on and off sporadically. It was a code for something related to the trigger/timing and both EGT sensors re...

The other night I pulled all the plugs and turned the engine over but I couldn't see any coolant coming out. I cleaned the plugs and burned them with a torch to make sure all the carbon was burned off. I tried starting again with no luck. Then last night I put some MMO in the housings and turned the...

Friday night I spent pretty much the whole night building a new coil mount, only to realize on Saturday that it didn't really look better than the original one and that one already fit fine the way it was, so I just modified that one a bit, cutting off extra material it didn't need and to allow the ...
