I want to do a 2-1 merge for a single wastegate. Yes, oil drain is in front corner of oil pan.
That's
That's exactly what I was planning on doing. That's why I asked about the alternator relocation. Are those the stainless steel block huggers on Ebay and what's the quality look like?
Yes got them on EBay. You can find them for around $100. I’d say quality is as good as the Durango header on the other side. It’s held up pretty well but has discolored. They’ll all get wrapped anyway.
Gonna look into this when I redo my hotside this winter
Awesome work, Looks nice! Are you just gonna bleed exhaust off 1 bank for wastegate?
Nope. I made a 2-1 2” merge between both banks.
Gotcha, didn’t see the other. It should spool up good.
Absolutely killer build, I just spent the last few days reading through all 24 pages lol, I can't wait to see how the MPI works out for you. I will be sticking with the beer keg for now in the build phase
Got most of the Megasquirt wired and fired up the engine for the first time after chasing down electrical gremlins for a few days. Still need to wire a few more things, clean up and loom the harness and a few hundred other things and then actually start tuning. It runs super rich at the moment and I have a terrible exhaust leak coming from the block hugger header on numbers 4 & 6. But I swear, it’s not a Mopar without an exhaust leak!
Yep. I won't even start tuning until it's solid. Learned my lesson with the Fitech. Most of my tuning problems were due to a leak somewhere before the O2 sensor and I'd chase my tail for days trying to get it to behave just to discover I had a tiny leak in the hotside. I'd fix it and everything would just fall into place.
Yours is Megasquirt right Matt? I may eventually go to coil-near-plug and crank-trigger wheel to get the full timing feature set of the MS3 but need to start out with what I’ve got.
