Progress on the 7

My new awesomness.
As far as I know, there is only one other guy to get this in the states, and he works for Motec USA. They just got this unit in from AUS a couple weeks ago. It gives me the power and tunablitly of Motec without all the extra drivers needed to run a piston motor. I was convinced to ge this route, rather than Haltech, due to the supurb software, and the adaptive ECU. Now I won't have to re-tune my car everytime the weather changes.

Indestructable you say... we'll see how it handles curb rash! HAHA
Nah, but thanks for the info on the paint. I'll have to check them out. What kind of finish will the epoxy have? Different options?
My buddy is running the e6k and re-tunes it for summer/winter and then re-tunes if going to CA (more humid). Maybe he only has the map sensor, and not temp sensors...?
Also, my AEM wideband will work with motec. not sure about the other stand-alones...
Also thought the telemetry and wireless features are pretty sweet. I definetly have a lot to learn about tuning (that's why I won't be doing it on the first go-round).

He's definitly doing something wrong.
As for the rims, I am looking for black, thats pretty basic right : ) I think semi gloss would be fine.
Almost all of them.

so here's the skinny today... since the cleanece between the rotors and housings is at the minimum for this motor, We decided to up the oil pressure and go with FD oil pressure reg. That should keep things nice and snug in the engine. It will also raise oil temps a little, but with proper circulation and the coatings, i think it should even out.
A little bump in the process today. We realized that since the rotors where balanced, they belong in a certain order on the e-shaft. when we got them back from the balance shop, they were numbered with a marker, 1 and 2. But then the rotors were coated... there goes the marker! So its back to the balance shop to i.d. the proper position for the rotors...

Instead of the FD pressure regulator, you might just want to shim your own. That way you can set whatever oil pressure you desire.

Funny about the rotors.

i just read that article,very helpful and seems very simple. Its amazong how much info can be found on your site.
There isnt anything about i.d.-ing balaned rotors is there?! That is pretty funny, such a small step like that overlooked. Just glad we caught it before we tried to fire up the motor!

i see. won't it get pretty tight under the hood?
I have been thinking about this one for a while, but how benificial would a trans cooler be? They are really inexpensive. I havent heard of many problems with FC trans, in fact, usually people boast about how rugged they are. But would the transmission cooler be a good ad on?
