TC Install pics and wrap up
The car finally got finished up today, Monday. Everything went pretty well. There was a lot of down time due to the lack of tools and supplies. The meet was at Fnan's parents, so all tools had to be supplied by members. Most of us lived at least 30mins away.
Money Shot:
Had to make the fittings work so we just needed some inventive ideas, this one was colin's:
Injector madness wired up by Austin:
Mad Rare DC sports exhaust. Thing is quiet as stock:
One for Colin:
One for the car:
Fnan:
SkinneyE being mad homo:

Inline resistors suck.
It takes just as long to solder up an OEM resistor box to a spare OEM plug, since you don't have to ---- around in tight underhood enclosure. Looks cleaner, less likely to fail due to strain/vibration, and the OEM resistors are 6.7-6.8 ohm not 10 so you get more motive force @ the injector.
But, I'm ---- like that.
Run 7-9 degrees high cam timing at 10 psi, and lock it there up until you hit knock limit on pump gas.

The Y8 has a huge injector wire cover so it will be unseen when he cleans it up.

I'm going to spend this week cleaning up little things about the install, like grinding/painting the piping, installing the Walbro 255lph pump, etc. etc...
But it runs pretty well! No oil/coolant leaks, good oil pressure, no CELs, and it pulls pretty well for being at 5 psi, untuned and running a restrictive 2.25" exhaust (temporary). I'm going to throw on the 3" KTeller exhaust and get it tuned here soon!
