First drive

And it drives.  Not well, but it drives.



ECU installation is not very sanitary.  Yet.

It Lives!

It lives!
Whew!  Getting this fuel injection system working has taken me the better part of a year.  Mostly due to the fact that the used Electromotive TECII unit I bought stopped working and that Electromotive simply wouldn't return my calls or emails so that I could send it in for diagnosis.  Eventually I bit the bullet and bought a Megasquirt II v3.57 from DIY auto tune (super helpful folks) and after a few days of careful wiring it started on the first try.  Now, to tune!

Exhaust rear section

View from driver's side toward resonator
Here is the rear section of the exhaust I fabricated.  I'm coming dual out 2.25" from the center resonator using a series of 45* and 90* mandrel bends from Mandrel Bending Solutions in Maryland.

Exhaust pipe to glasspack junction
The glasspacks are louvered type from Smythy's and are 2", which is why they are fitted inside the pipes instead of outside.  I stepped down the size in order to accelerate the gases and raise the pitch so the sound would be less boomy.  I think it worked.
