You guys really are all about educating and community here aren't you? I wont forget!

I as wondering about all this myself as the car has about 10 miles on it with the Scirocco rad in it and reliability is my top priority. I've commuted high strung, finicky 4G63s before and thermal issues are the LAST thing I want to deal with.Engine compartments with out any provision for air...

There is an upside to today however. I fixed the issues with the wiring for the LC2 as well as the BCS.I also noticed that if my turbo oil feed line hits the back of the aftermarket radiator fan I have, the fan shorts to ground... What is up with this?

I did contact him several times after I got the vehicle back. Each time the response I recieved had no accurate information, no help to diagnosing issues that did exist before the attempted SD sensor installation.

I suppose the whole story needs to be placed in the proper sub forum. I will refrain from specifying anyone in the future and feel free to edit the previous posts if needed.I have no intention of slandering anyone, I just hope there is room in the community for the truth.

So after the first woes with the AEM tru Boost and UEGO WB being improperly installed by The Shop, I fixed them and awaited the arrival of a GM IAT and a LC2 WB setup. I had the bung for IAT put on my TB elbow, wire the pigtail to the SD harness installed at the shop, installed the LC2 and fired...

While it is unfortunate I paid to move backwards with the car, this was the last straw with the wiring harness. So I am going to follow your lead and remove and repair/replace/remove as needed. Today I will get the remainder of the ABS harness out, order some proper jackets for the engine bay...

I bought the car with a hardware store style boost regulator, I don't think the factory plug for he BCS is even on the harness at this point. On the off chance that I did get the stock BCS with the car, the shop who had my car must have taken it, along with a fair amount of other parts...The...

I just found the BCS that ECMlink recommends on their website and ordered one. This thing will be together by the weekend!

Thank you a ton kind sir! I am taking my J-pipe, my (custom SS) throttle body elbow and my IC outlet pipe to my welder tomorrow to get the bungs welded on. The IC outlet pipe bung will initially be plugged and sealed, it is for my water/meth injection system.Any recommendations on where I...

When using ECMLink to control boost as shown in the link above, will it be necessary for me to tap a nipple onto my intake tube just behind the filter as I have no MAF and am running SD?

6 incorrect ECU pins fixed later and I finally got to drive her for the first time. ECMLink was logging realistic look coolant temps, how ever I noticed my dash coolant temp gauge was not reading. As I was inspecting things further I discovered that the ECU is getting it's coolant temp from the...

I need a new one asap, mine is shot.

After furthering diagnostic testing, it seems that between the start up after the timing belt job and the installation of the ECMLink and subsequent SD sensors, the wiring for several sensors on the engine harness got very screwed up. I don't even know if I have it in me to f*** with this...

Can someone recommend a trust worthy shop in the Portland Oregon area? I need some serious help unfucking what ever stupid sh*t Paul and his lacky did to this poor car. I have found enough stuff done wrong that I can't stomach it anymore.

Update: after removing the original CAS I saw it was installed 180 out. I corrected it and reinstalled it. Still throws the code and no start. I installed the new one, still throws the code and no start. I have good ground, battery + and 5v+. What the heck?!

So I try to start her up a few times and it just sounds completely out of timing. Then I check the DTCs and see 023. I have positive battery and +5v but bad ground on the harness it seems.My question is this: is it safe for me to cut the ground wire from the CAS harness plug and solder a...

Good to know, thank you!

So, after much time spent deep in thought about my above mentioned dilemma, I have decided to get some FIC 1100s and the 68 HTA and run them on the motor I have now. I can't wait for Paul and his crew to be ready!

I suppose I didn't fully explain the second motor in my first posst. The second engine/trans/transfercase combination will be swapped in for specific events until we snag a second GVR4 at which time the 68 motor will most likely going into which ever chassis is daily driver.As for the reasons...

Hello again my friends. I purchased 221/2000 a few weeks ago and a week later took it to THeDSMGuy to have the blown headgasket replaced and to get a reliable turbo onto it. As this is the second GVR4 I have owned, I feel I got a great deal and am eagerly awaiting the call the she is done from...

Rob, Sorry man! 221/2000 listed in Johnson Creek is my baby now. TheDSMGuys in Vancouver have her now given her some love. Just cause I am a nice guy, you may want to jump on the other one MUCH sooner than later. My fiance will want it after her first ride in mine.Just for what it is worth...
