UPDATE:
Although the progess may seem slow to some, it really has been a productive few days for me. I was held back a little bit while researching the thread pitch of the coolant banjo fitting for the GT35R turbo. I actually found it accidentally via an RX7 forum. Since I no longer use a stock IACV, I used the existing coolant connections for it and routed it to the coolant side of the turbo passage. It turned out great but it really is too hard to take pics of it. Pic 1 is the refabricated intercooler pipe inlet side. This is now the fourth one I did. I'm somewhat happy with it. I chose to use a 2.5 inch inlet side to increase the velocity coming into the intercooler. Pic 2 is the mounted position of the intercooler and the 3 inch intercooler outlet piping that I fabbed. Pic 3 is just another pic of the 3 inch charged pipe with the tial BOV which also now has a stiffer spring. Pic 4 is the mounted position of the Ford IAVC. Pic 5 is the C.O.P. conversion. All the wiring for the C2Di, IACV, and TPS is done. The bumper is back on. All fluids are replenished. It is time to fire the car up. I just need to get my tuner in the garage to adjust the EMS to compensated for the C.O.P. |

It has been super slow on progress. All I have done to my Teg is install an AEM 5 BAR MAP sensor. I think that I also figured out why my car wont idle normal. The Boomslang conversion harness I have didnt have the pinout installed for the IACV solenoid. I'm talking about they didnt even have the pins in the connectors. So, I ran an external wire and repin the proper connector to control the Ford IACV. However, I still havent had a chance to test it out since my tuner has to reconfigure my MAP settings to compensate for a 5 BAR.
I have been busy doing other people's car. I'm also trying to make money on the side. This week, starting Friday, I will be installing an S2000 muffler on a 2001 civic, then fabricate/weld intercooler piping for an Eclipse, then possibly fab a 2.5 inch DP on a CRX. More to come........... |

Yet again another issue. My tuner got the car started today and improved the idling issue. Made 2 runs on the street and my AEM C2Di overheated and literally almost caught on fire. There was so much smoke inside the car. We will be contacting AEM to get another one. Hopefully they give us the new one they call "twin-fire". Between my tuner and looking around the web, C2Di actually had a bad QA reputation. Which is why they have discontinued production and redesigned it.

QA usually means "quality assurance". Bad QA means that the company hasn't tested the product well enough to make it durable and safe.
I had a similar experience with an MSD 6A box a few years ago. I used to live in a cul de sac and was driving up to my house after work. The engine suddenly died and I had tons of smoke pouring from the cowl of my hood. I ran home (just up the street) to grab a fire extinguisher and didn't find one. Luckily for me, the smoke was from the box which had completely fried my chassis harness (all of those wires behind the dash). Yes, it was a nightmare replacing them. Yes, I hate MSD. And yes, I still use MSD...but now I only use their digital stuff. The analog stuff will give up the ghost in about a year or so.

AEM had a separate QA team for the C2Di. Rumors said that they started firing people and reconfigured the product. I hope I get the new one....
