Many mods and 18 mos. later. THANKS TO ALL!!

The car started today!

I have never done any mechanical repair more difficult than brake jobs, CV joint replacement, etc.

However, in the last 18 months I converted my stock 93 R1 to a Single and installed the following:

T-62 with custom manifold and HKS WG
Datalogit
Fuel rail with 1600's
Comp. Fuel Pump
B&G Fuel Filter, relocated
SX Regulator
Large Horizontal IC
Relocated Battery behind passenger seat
Complete hose job (elimination)
Removed Air Pump
Full exhaust w/DP, MP and Trust Muffler
AVC-R Boost Controller
Fuel Pressure Gauge, electronic
Air/Fuel Gauge

It definitely was a much bigger job than I anticipated.

There is no way in HELL I could have done this without the help of everyone who posted and without probably hundreds of searches I did of previous "guinea pigs" and experts. You have no idea how important this website's information was to this project. Well...some do know.

I am sure I will have more problems, but this is one very big step.

Thanks everyone. I am tuning on the Dyno next week!!

You have no idea how good it feels.

I ran it for 15 mins. or so and let it heat up then promptly blew the lower radiator hose. Otherwise, I fixed the exhaust leak and leaking oil inlet to the Turbo. Nobody carries the hose, so back to the dealer for parts.

Pics coming soon, digital cam is at work.

Not sure yet on the dyno locale. Conley's on Aldine Bender or another shop in West Houston recommended by my friend.

I will probably have Kyle (twokrx7) help tune on the dyno. He has a wideband as well. I will update on the progress.
