I do what I can to help the community You would never guess what I look at now and only think "Maybe if I waited a little longer that would probably fit" V12tt

Update: Not sure what day it was but I finished making the intake pipe I let the car warm up and when the car got up to operating temp. #1 cylinder injector failed in the open position and flooded/fouled that cylinder. Replaced injector and plugs for that cylinder and she straightened out. 2 Fridays back the radiator and fuel pump came and were installed. This past wednesday I got the car to where i felt comfortable driving her home (going to go dyno thursday). 20 mins into the drive after several hard 70-120ish pulls The last one gave out around 90mph. First to go was the coolant and second was the oil. Didnt take pics but everything was covered in oil including the whole driver side Yesterday was spent cleaning the oil off and resecuring everything correctly. Today I wired in some resistors for the EGR and Air Switch Over solenoids. They were consistant codes but now after a 6 mile trip Hard of course no, I repeat NO Check Engine. This is with 100% zero tunning. The MAF will i assume come on. Looking the car over I found the oil cooler line is trying to work its way off again The cooler is too small and is acting as a restriction. And It also feels as though the bypass valve is not adjusted correctly there is a lag before kicking in. Buying a boost guage, UEGO guage and larger oil cooler.

Few pics and vid. Please excuse my commentary.
