262/414 meet

I scored a set of freshly cleaned & tested 17# injectors and a Mark D 91 octane 17/19# chip. With all the recent maintenance I have done on the car, it moves quite nicely on 87 octane without the chip and with the old stock injectors so I am stoked to see the results with the chip , injectors, and 93!

I wasn't expecting the electrical side of things to have its own sort of "fuel rail" , I thought it was going to be like any other car with the fuel injector harnesses being individual plugs. I haven't gotten it off yet but I haven't tried either since posting about it. It was 9pm and I was holding a flashlight in my mouth trying to figure out double-you tee eff was going on. I am going to be working on it from 5pm until its finished tonight.
I already got the chip installed earlier so I cant wait to drive it and feel the difference.

the 'rail' is for fuel, not electric. the electric plugs run individually to each injector along side the fuel rail. after unclipping the electrical plugs, you have to unbolt the fuel rail from the manifold, remove the fuel line running back under the manifold, then the whole thing with the injectors still attached to it pulls out (with some force) be careful as there will be a lot of gas still filling up the fuel rail.

^ thanks for the pointers, I was just referring to how the injector wire loom is a long rectangular piece that is similar in appearance to the fuel rail and how it is a lot different than what i have seen before.

BTW my brain always thinks the car in your sig is an e28 M5 :P I always have to do a double take, It must be the black bumpers and I have seen those same wheels (Borbet?) on an e38 before

I know the one near Bayshore is a stand up place, but I have never been to the one discussed here. I'd rather be at a sit down place myself.

So I havnt been to Kopp's since I was a kid. And I would most def prefer a place to sit down and relax.
But not culvers, I already eat there to much.

Hooters is across the street, Theres a Pizza Hut just down the road, Old Country buffet (its alright), everything else is a bit more pricey. I have always wanted to try Ruby Tuesday just down the road.

Well, is that area kind of a central location for all of us? I know north of milwaukee by about 10-15minutes. I definitely don't mind driving, just making sure its kinda central.
