Played around a bit with my AEM EMS to try to get her to run a little better. Safe to say I could use some schooling on EMS tuning :p My new plan is to get it ready for Import Face Off at New England Dragway September 25th :smokes: We'll see how things go :shrug:

Worked on my car for a bit today and took a short video of the first start up on the AEM EMS :D I let her run for a few seconds but, I get scared and shut it off :p I also need to add some coolent before I let it run for a extened period of time. I have a small oil leak at the oil filter sandwhich and a fuel leak coming from my FPR return line. All very easy fixes. Just have to route and weld up some intercooler pipes and finish my down pipe. :) Here is the first startup vid :wink:

Congrats... I think the first start up is always the worst since if something is going to break, it happens then. Almost there, just a little more to go and you have yourself a beast.

Thanks everybody :oops: I have a palce in mind that i'll be bringing it to get tuned. They tuned my buddys 600 whp WRX. Klue is providing me with a good enough tune to drive on for the 500 miles break in period :) So far it sounds healthy :D I mocked up some intercooler piping to bring to work to weld together tomorrow. Pics will be up :wink:

It sounds so angry!! Good work man. Those 272 cams give it a mean lope. Can't wait to see what it will do.

Thanks! :oops: The reason it sounds like that right now is because there is no down pipe :p I have to find time to get it down to the custom exhaust shop to fab up a down pipe, been too busy with work and such that i'm suprissed I had time to mock up my top intercooler pipe and weld it together! Once the Down pipe is done I can work on the lower intercooler pipe and call this engine bay finished......for now :p I also got a AEM Uego for the plug and play opions with my EMS so I have my brand new Innovative LC-1 kit up for grabs, if anyone is interested in it PM me for a special "keeping up with my project" price :wink:

Awesome news Adam

I'd love to come see it once you get her all squared away.

Thanks Greg, it should be done by the next few weeks but can only be babied for at least 500 miles to be broken in then I have to take care of some body work and paint and a million dollars to get it tuned :lol: Here is a new video of her running.

The wastegate and downpipe were loose and down pipe flange was just tack welded for mockup. Got that all squared away now and she sounds great!!! Soooo mean :smokes: Just have to do front wheels bearings now and make some brackets.

goood! front wheels bearings are such a bitch.. not to do, but just in general. lol. i've had to do my pass side 4 times in the last 2 years.. finally replaced the cv as well and its golden. let me know if you need any advice on them.. unless you got it all figured.
