Missed this one. The only things I have left(that I dont need) from the original motor are the MAF, fuel rails/injectors(26lb), stock manifolds, stock intake.

Oh yeah, and the pile of MISC bolts/parts lying around that I cant seem to find a place for on the car

Car update:

Everything set to go. Went to upload the new tune and NO GO. I am having computer issues now. Of all things. So...I have been trying to figure out what the heck is going on the computer. Ken from Hptuners is helping me out but we havent had any luck as of yet. So late last night after being pissed to all hell about the computer, we decided to start it up with the old MS3 tune. So..unplugged the two white plugs, turned over car for 5 seconds, then stopped. Replugged them back in, hit the key and it started right up and idled at about 1100-1200 rpms. Let it idle for about two minutes before shutting her down. I dont like the fact that i cant log wiht a scanner or wideband so I didnt want to keep it running.

OIL PRESSURE AT 60

No OBVIOUS leaks for the two minutes it ran

Sounded like a lot more mechanical noise which scared me a litte.

Hopefully I can get teh computer crap figured out and get the new tune in there so I can get this thing out on the road!
