yessir. i just posted it wherever people were talking hahaha

i put some input as to what you guys were talking about!

"i don't know my damn AFR."

 

It is no secret our black box is made by Split Second, as it was disclosed when we first released it. Not only that, but they make like 30 different boxes, and we happened to do some R&D and finally discovered which works on the tC back over a year ago.

 

I worked on the car today and made a lot of progress.
Finished wiring the QTP electric cutout and also finished the wiring connections that needed to be made from under the car. Installed the plastic covers and also finished installing the I/C pipes although I broke one of the T-bolt clamps and now I am one clamp down.
I also installed the custom brackets that we made for some of the I/C pipes. They are used to prevent the silicone hoses from popping off under high boost . We already popped one off during the dyno sessions at only 16 psi so we decided to give it a try.


So at this point I am pretty sure we are going to start the engine late tomorrow and hope everything is OK!

This is the car at this point....





Thanks for watching,

I know, it says it right on the box! i was just being sarcastic because of the way you market it on your site you removed the cover on the pic then you wrote...
"This wonderful stroke of electronics magic was conjured up by the great minds at Dezod Motorsports to solve the partial throttle fuel problem on the tC."

its just funny to me... BUT hey I GOT ONE and i it!
But when i first got it i was like "HEY what is this crap! i got gipped I ordered a DEZOD BB and got some generic split second crap...

 

Good luck man I'll keep my fingers crossed for you all.
have fun.

Complication

 

Looks good man!!

 

Finally we are gonna have fun tomorrow!!!!!!!

 

You gotta have em made custom. Forgot where, but someone here in SL already has them. Around $700.

 

DAMN! that engine bay looks STUFFED to the gills!
NICE!

 

something is still missing...

 

JAJAJAJA!!

You are right but I found out that ScionGT35R took the valve cover to be Powder Coated and it still had the oil cap on it. He did it because I was supposed to pick the new one at the speed shop.

But.......

Guess who has the receipt needed to pick the oil cap....


Pito

P.D. I will go beyond my duties tomorrow to go and pick-up the oil cap before starting the engine.

 

Man thats a nice setup!

 

Looks awesome. And the piping clamps are a good idea. They should never blow off!!

 

Today we finished installing everything after almost 4 hours of looking for parts (random parts). We finally removed the car from the jack stands after more than a month of hibernation.

I disconnected the crank sensor and proceeded to install a spare battery since the one that is supposed to be there was discharged. Checked for correct levels of all fluids on the car and after seeing everything was OK we decided to start cranking the engine for about a minute in several tries (it wont start cause the crank sensor was disconnected). The OEM oil pressure light turned off after about 30 seconds but we continued cranking anyway since we wanted to make sure the engine was well lubricated before trying to start the car.
Since we have an in-line oil filter on the line going to the turbo we decided to disconnect the line after the filter where it enters the turbo to make sure it was receiving oil pressure. With the line disconnected we cranked the car once again to check for pressure and it was OK . The line was re-installed and the engine was checked for leaks all around and below.
As everything was fine we then connected the crank sensor and started cranking again and it took about 10 seconds for the engine to finally pressurize the fuel system and then it started ........Finally......

The engine sounded good but it was idling very high and it had a misfire. Sometimes the misfire caused the engine to die. We checked for leaks once again and found there was a very small leak in the injector for the second cylinder. Since it was barely leaking we decided to continue checking the engine and to fix the idle problem. After looking for a couple of minutes we realized one of the vacuum ports on the throttle body had no hose and air was entering the system....

We installed a plug on the port and the engine started OK .....
......But it was at this point we noticed fuel leaking on the fuel return line really bad and for the amount of fuel that was leaking we immediately turned off the engine.
After looking for the cause we found the flare on the fuel return hard line (-6 line that we installed) was not sealing correctly. Since it was already 10 PM and for the work needed in fixing the problem we called it a day and will continue on Monday.

This is the engine at this time minus the battery.....

I also found the missing Oil Cap........

Thank you! Actual updates and it's cool to see what problems you ran into. I'm loving it. The red accents things nicely. Can't wait to see the thing in action sometime (hopefully in a video terrorizing the rest of your city). Awesome work so far!

 

Im suprised you didn't throw the red cap on

 

It just didn't looked good with the dark gray valve cover. The polished one fits better!!

If the valve cover was white (as it previously was) then the red one would have been the best option.

looking good guy! Cant wait to hear what happens on monday. Keep up the good work!

 

hehe - cool man - its cool you got almost all the bs issues out of the way and the car is 95% ready to be on the road.
