The AEM uses a calibrated resistor instead of fresh air calibration. It is a set it and forget it device but lacks the accuracy of some others. Which sensor did yours come with? The LS2 4.2 is the old style. I have used the AEM and recommend it to people that I tune cars for due to it's simplicity and aesthetics. I've never had an issue.


Yeah, going from the Innovate stuff, which is supposedly the most accurate "in the world" *Clarkson voice*, I was never too thrilled with how cheap it felt. It bragged about having two separate outputs for clean, RFI free, signals to the ECU and gauge separately, however one of those outputs never worked on mine. So from the start I was fighting it. I'm pleased with the ease of install the AEM offers. I mean shit, I want to throw one in all of my cars. Two wires. Two freaking wires.




Injectors happened this evening.

out with the old, unknown conditions; in with the new flow matched RCs.




soooo dusty.....drives me nuts.



And I'm getting prepped to test Megasquirt again. I need to change my injector impedance settings as the new injectors are high, replacing the low impedance venom counterparts.

Distributor back in. Valve cover and timing is next. Then I can start spinning the motor, and rechecking for spark and fuel.



Then my brake vacuum booster..The remaining fittings arrived today, so I can go ahead and start that nonsense.

RC makes good stuff. The AFR 500 with NTK lab grade sensor is the most accurate wideband you can buy but the damn display looks like doo doo.

$450 upgrade just for the sensor.

Thanks for the kind words.

I appreciate it. Wait until you get to the carbon stuff. The thread gets pretty fun there.





Pulled my master cylinder and vacuum booster today to inspect.




My guess: Wilwood master failed (!!!), leaking into the vacuum booster - subsequently compromising the seals in the booster. Not sure if I'd trust it, even after a thoroughly unpleasant cleaning.



I'll see tomorrow.... I just wanted to get everything apart tonight.

Then I get to see how tedious it will be to fit this amalgamation of parts.




I just wanna stop dammit!

Waited three weeks for this to come from the United Kingdom.



Totally worth it. :laugh:

Before



So much better.



I'll also be ordering a shift boot, and emergency brake boot to match.


Next up, brake booster...not looking forward to it.

This winter has been fucked. We've gotten a lot of snow, but it we don't have much to show for it relatively.

We've gotten many feet, but in between large storms we've have unseasonably warm days that ruin any accumulation....the Jeep is kind of trapped in the back portion of the garage....next to the 260z....they are neglected and lonely..

Damn that shit...

We've a much warmer than normal winter so far, almost Florida like. It will go from 70's to 40's back to 70's in 3 days time.
