Good lord that sounds nice.

That is dumping out under the car after the cats and resonator, I haven't fabricated the cat back section into the Remus yet. Its pretty quiet too all things considered.

same q. whatever it was you solved it fast man.

I'm not exactly sure what was wrong, I noticed some really odd codes when I actually looked at them like a "device error" and the ICV wouldn't go to sleep after a start attempt unless I disconnected the battery.

I couldn't hear the ICV earlier because I had tunes jamming.

Mark suggested I try flashing the DME again. Pulled it out, flashed it again and voila... She started right up and no more ghost ICV.

The engine is all buttoned up again except for the radiator. Firewall covers installed and looking clean. All of the wiring fits no problem under the covers, actually a lot less of it than with a E36 M/S5x swap. The main wiring cover also clears the engine/manifold with room to spare, where as the OBDI E36 M/S5x manifold requires you to trim the covers.

Last night I had the fuel pump manually jumped as I had not yet wired in a fuel pump relay. This evening I went ahead and did than, then wrapped all the wiring with the same OE loom tape before fastening it to the backing plate with zip ties and installing the covers. The fuel pump relay coil is grounded by the ECU to activate the fuel pump. The coil is fed with switched 12v, and the drive side is fed with a constant 12v just as it is in a native MS43 vehicle.

Engine wiring with fuel pump relay:

you should up your price.

Engine bay looking good! I vote you shave the spot for the diagnostic plug off the wiring bracket though. ;)

Super clean engine bay! Love the tool box setup you got going on too!
