So this last weekend I really tried to get the car completly together and the first start on the new adaptronics ECU. I am having some troubles getting the ECU to see the FD trigger sensor with the FFE wheel going to do some more troubleshooting tonight.

all the suspension is back in the car.
front & back brakes are connected... still need to be bled.
most of the dash is in & the rear plastic... but I have to take the rear plastic off to rewire the fuel pump as the adaptronic does a ground switch like the stock ECU and not a power switch like the haltech.
Turbo & exhaust is back in the car..
pop-up headlights work with the stock switch
Low & high beams work.
Brake lights work.
Intercooler & Radiator fans work.
Push button start works

My blinkers do not work I hear the clicking but the bulbs dont flash. Parking lights work though...

I took some pictures of the dash & what the new rims will look on the rear now that I have the suspension to make them fit.

dude....I love how you deleted the ac/heater controls. The panel looks sick now!! Whats wrong with the FFE signal? are you running 1280? or select ecu? Just went through every electrical gremlin known to man on my select because the previous owner hacked the whole harness up...so I know a thing or two now!

Shawn, did you plug in the harness connector that is located under where the stock ECU mounts and runs along the frame rail to the back of the car?

IIRC if that is unplugged you will have brake and running lights but no turn signals on the front or rear of the car, but you will still hear the flasher click.

Ty it is not perfect but for my first time doing something like that its decent. I have the select ECU and there are only 2 wires so its either a setting issue in the ECU or I have the wires swapped wrong.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who noticed but i love the -an fittings and braided lines used not only for fuel but for vacuum lines as well.

Nice attention to detail

Did Andy not give you one? soooooooooooooooooooooooo that video of the start I think my Anti lag switch was flipped... I had 90% Injector duty on that start ha & it was back firing like crazy lol. I turned it off and corrected some other things I had wrong, and also recalibrate the innovate sensor. So now it starts right away & idles pretty good I still need to do a couple more heat cycles. We are picking up my car from my moms tonight and bringing it to my buddies house so that we have easy access to the pavement to make a little better base map before tune
