^No worries lol.
So. For those that haven't heard, things are at a screeching halt. Found out on Friday I'm being laid off in 2 weeks. Goal now is to find gainful employment while turtle-ing on the remaining funds/whatever I get for unemployment and stall as long as can before having to look at selling stuff off. Stay tuned.

Quick update, as the last few months are a bit of a blur lol. Both a car update and what I've been up to lol
Finally got the right o-rings, installed the Holley Rails and 42# injectors.
Finally decided to say "why not" one day, called Sleepy Friday afternoon, next thing you know, swap time.
Good way to spend Easter Sunday, time for a resurrection of our own
Many hours later, the core support is a thing of the past, and the LS found its new home.
What's not pictured is the cracked pilot bearings, the PITA trans mounting, or the 4 times the motor had to come out the next day on my own to hammer the trans tunnel more and more. In the end, its got loads of clearance, and shifter is right where it should be.
After some awesome welds by Sleepy, I haz a new OEM S15 core support!
What's next? Sikky test day at Summit!
Ordered the rest of the stuff I need from Mishimoto, just in time for Formula Drift! But not before a stop off at Hollywild Zoo along the way.
Yes. That's a cougar holding my hand.
HEY. WHAT DAY IS IT!!!
FEED me Seymour!
Formula Driiiiift
Got some love from Greddy, even got my shots featured on GreddyRacing's instagram.
Came home, decided it was a good time to clean up the front end.
Headlights fit great on the S15 support and bumper bar, had to flip the crash bar for now until it gets redone. (easier than storing it lol)
While waiting, Wiring Specialties asked if they could give my harness to someone in a big pinch and in need of a harness immediately, told them of course. In return, they'll have a new Version 3 harness waiting for me when I get back from Formula Drift: Miami.
Also made an intake for it, and found some turndowns to use as exhaust for now.
Last parts are arriving soon. Should start before much longer.

Updaaaaaaaaaaaate. Tune is good, VATS was disabled. Some pins got bent on installing the PCM. Those are fine now. It stays running so long as I give it gas. Let off, it dies. Threw P0200. All injectors were brand new. The hunt continues....but it ran for more than a second. I excite.

Check your IAC on the TB and make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks. Port on the backside for the brake boost and a small one for the HVAC system. Are you using HP tuners?

Only 2 vac lines are the booster and pass vc - tb. No leaks/new hose.
Yup on HP Tuners. I'm not, tuner loaded base on it.
Added some grounds. Checked connectors. Same issue. P0200, can't idle on own without throttle input.

Potential causes of an P0200 code include: Open or shorted injector Injector low internal resistance (basically an injector that works, but is out of specs), grounded driver circuit, open driver circuit, driver circuit shorted to voltage Wiring harness intermittently shorting against underhood components.
I would double check the wiring harness, make sure they're in the proper injector, check for 12v at each injector and throw a noid light on each one to make sure they're properly firing.
It could also be the tune not scaled properly for the injectors you are running but a P0200 code definitely means you are missing a leg of power, have an open injector, or the driver signal isn't getting to the injector.

Got the interior buttoned up, as well as most of the engine bay.
Quick tow to Sikky
Got shared on Mishimoto's instagram, woooo
FINALLY got a shift ****.
Oh, and an awesome stainless 3" -> 4" exhaust. Can't wait to hear it this week!
Just waiting on the crash bar and tune now.
