Re: Rob's Birthday Party/ Tech Day #1
Engine hoist has been dissembled and is ready to go!!!
If you want it at your place earlier Andy give me a call on my cell, I left it in that e-mail I sent you for direction earlier.

Re: Rob's Birthday Party/ Tech Day #1
Its cool. No big rush. I plan to get started with some minor stuff Friday night. Prolly pull the axles, remove the im, pull out the alternator, remove the harness. All that will really leave is the exhaust bolts and mount bolts. Shouldn't take us long at all. Justin made a good point, though, I may just pull the exhaust mani and turbo out with the engine so I don't have to hack up that brand new radiator support.
Re: Rob's Birthday Party/ Tech Day #1
For now, my main concern is reliability and tuning conservative enough to protect my engine, then Ill dyno tune it to dial it in more when Im at that point. Regardless, your guys experience with KPro is valuable to me, so count me in......IT GETS HERE TOMORROW!!

Re: Rob's Birthday Party/ Tech Day #1
I'll probably come up there, then have to leave and come back. The gf's car needs new tires, so I'm gonna run it down to Edwin's house of tires and get that taken care of.
I have nothing to do to either car because I have no parts, so I'll be there in my lawn chair hanging out.
Andy... I assume the BBQ grill has gas in it right? Cuz it would suck to get a bunch of burgers and have none.
I figure burgers and dogs, some chips, buns, ketchup, mustard, soda..... and beer for everyone but George.

Re: Rob's Birthday Party/ Tech Day #1
Justin, maybe you can help me tinker with my new KPro on the K. Ive printed out the whole manual for it, which I will bring since they give some very good advice.

Re: Rob's Birthday Party/ Tech Day #1
damn, im really late on this thread. too bad i work. the party should be at my shop FTW. Kpro pwns everyone, unless you have really weird temperature compensation problems that dont let your car start when the block is below freezing and the incoming air is warm.. who is up for an after party? getting drunk later? DC? strip club? bar hopping?

Whoever can fix my EGR valve code gets a beer or six on me! But I can bring either beverages or beer.

Re: Rob's Birthday Party/ Tech Day #1
Okay so I know I'm bringing the engine hoist but should I bring anything else like chips, sodas, beer
Re: Rob's Birthday Party/ Tech Day #1
i think it would be easier if we all just bought cash and then when it gets close to the time to eat, we all go grab some from a giant or safeway or something. that way we get an accurate amount.
Re: Rob's Birthday Party/ Tech Day #1
Then you sent it to the wrong email address. I only got one from bomer.
So far, we have:
Me
Justin (boilermaker)
Rob (Duh)
Davis (doctor)
George (CuriousG)
Paul (Bomerman19)

Re: Rob's Birthday Party/ Tech Day #1
I am going to use the ones out of the old mani but gerry was kind enough to throw in one of his super duper heat shield plastic gasket thingies that also require a set of them so I need 8 total and I only have 4
