I appreciate very much the amount of pictures you have posted and that they are high resolution, nothing worst than cell phone ones.

Got it running today---fired it with the N/A Ecu and it fired right up---wouldn't idle super well. Swapped in the Turbo Ecu and loosened up the distributor and it was idling/reving perfect. Got the exhaust done---high flow rally cat-2 1/2" piping all the way-glasspack style resonator into a magnaflow---sounds deep/on the quiet side.
Got all the brake rotors/pads/flush done as well. Hopefully bolt a seat/some belts in tomorrow and go for a ride.
Anyone know if the instrument cluster needs to be grounded in order to work??? We sat one in there, popped in all the plugs in the back and expected to have a tach/temps etc.. and got nothing. We've done this before in the escorts and they work perfectly without a ground/in your hands...

Yeah no kidding---he bought the motor/trans/ecu/rotors/pads/adjustable cam gears for $600 from a guy in the desert---in other words they were basically free!
Any plans for the brake lines?
Your exhaust work looks top notch. Any chance you could toss another pic or two up of all that busy stuff right out of the engine?
Props for the work. I especially like your welding and fab It's going to be a fun ride when your done.Last edited by 1st Gen; 09-23-2010, 07:44 PM.1991 Protege LX with GTX swap, DD1990 4WD Protege with GTX swap, Project/garage decoration2006 Mazda 3 with 2.3, Her car1980 Ford F100 Short bed with 300ci 6 cylinder, work truck/home for moss

I suppose I could have sold him brake lines---not really needed for this appl/car---it's nice sometimes to have a rubber line---you can use vice grips and still make it home if you rip one off...Thanks for the props---it's been a learning experience for sure---are normal builds are gut it/cage it/put suspension on and get it to the track/testing---I've never left AC and all the ducting under dash stuff in before!sigpicwww.piercemotorsports.com www.piercemotorsport.com Like us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/p...91292610897146

Damn, that just makes me smile. I wish I could hurry up and finish my cam change in my AE86, I wanna get workin' on my protege!!!
And you definitely don't need the whole cluster grounded...
That was an in-car pic on the interstate on the way back from Montana with the car. We didn't get the fuel gauge hooked up right somehow, so we disconnected it. still haven't really looked into that yet, lol!
