'89 Iroc-z 5.3L Swap running! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, i got it tuned and running properly! Got in the car, tuned it with my super laptop abilities (Not really)
Just turned off Vats, Enabled Cooling fans, deleted the DTC's that would get upset with the fact thats EVAPs gone, Rear 02's are gone etc, Ajusted my speedo setup, and got rid of a few other little things.
Going away for the weekend, going to spend some time when im up there working on another tune so i can add some spark advance etc.
After starting it last time i found my oil pressure gauge wasnt working so in quickly installed a mechanical one, that worked out perfect and i was reading about 55psi during 1200rpm idle. I also found that my Indash Tachwasnt working which is okay also cause i have a Tach in my console. Mechanical coolant temp will go in eventually, its not as important as the computer knows what the temp is.
Heres a vid of the start up, im slow on getting the scanner going, so ignore the wait time haha. Oh, and my "Oh crap" at the end, there was smoke coming off the engine and i thought it was my mechanical oil line laying on a header, burning haha. Turned out it was just my header paint setting in so im content again haha.
IM sooooooo happy!
