I figured out the the Megasquirt issue was a bad ground wire on the board it self. Got it fixed and added two extra grounds for good measure in case one fails.
Intake side of intercooler piping is plumbed and ready to go oil feed fitting is on the housing and its bolted back up. As well as the alternator bracket.
I also got the throttle cable situation figured out. A RHD e28 535i cable was the perfect fit I just need to make bracket for it out of some sheet aluminum and bolt it to where the Alpina delete plate is on the intake.
E28 cable VS stock e30 cable
Once the bracket is made for the throttle cable. The big engine bay work is pretty much done except for buttoning up a couple things and cleaning the hood for some heat tape.
List of things to do are:
Throttle cable bracket
Wire in gauges and wasted spark
Build exhaust
Install riv nut on frame rail for PS res
Plumb vacuum lines
Blast and paint VC in Wrinkle black
Replace spark plugs and Get new plug wires
Trim and reinstall valances and headlights/grills
Do a final nut and bolt check
prime engine oil circuit
Load up start up tune and then do some light driving/pulls and data log it to make tweaks I am hoping July fourth weekend I can start it up or be really close. I Know I will have some gremlins to figure out so Its a big goal to be ready in 3 weeks since I only really get to work on it on Friday nights and Saturday most the day.
