I will admit that there is somethings to be done under the hood to really clean it up but all I care about right now is the actually mechanical health of the car. I could give a **** less how it looks for right now. I just want to get it running right.

Now with that being said, the car is going to the shop tomorrow to have the entire engine harness cleaned up. It turns out that the issue I'm running into is that the new injectors are high impedance and the car is set up for low impedance. Normally this wouldn't be a problem because most people who do 2J swaps in to anything, use a JDM motor which is setup for high impedance out of the gate. My car is actually a fully built USDM motor so I still have the OEM resistor pack.

When it comes back I'll be up and running and tearing **** up. Should be good to go by next weekend.
Never heard back from you last night, sounds like you've been busy getting it squared away. I'm glad you seem to have figured it out. Give me a shout when you get it back and let's hit the streets!

Sorry bud! I'll shoot you a text in a second. Was tied up in the office until almost 9, got home at 10. Figured it all out with some help around 11.

I know the feeling. I only work 10 minutes from home and many nights I'm here until 8-9 as well. My wife hates it almost as much as she hates my 7
