So I'm back at it again fellas, ripping out the cars stock style rjm harness and putting in a Holley hp ecu I got off of a guy in Pasadena. Has provision for boost control solenoids and wideband. Safe to say I'm pretty excited. Waiting on pony down performance to get done with my headers and down pipe. Another week and a half and I'll be getting with the turbo crowd. @srtthis @84Ttop and someone tag Jeff because God dammit if I can't remember his name on this forum anymore hahahahaha sorry buddy
Edit: @TOOLOW91 i found you buddy lol

Glad to see you back pal ! I have that task ahead of me very shortly

The car will be a whole new animal with the standalone. Kiss any driveability issues goodbye!

 

[MikeH686]

I'm sure there won't be anymore problems. Wondering how hard this will be to work with though tuning wise. This will be my first stand alone on anything I've ever owned.

 

[MikeH686]

So I've gotten a bit of a dilemma now with the way I routed this harness I need to extend the wires for the oil pressure sensor. I could do this or put a oil manifold onto the passenger side since I will also need it to feed my turbo my question is will this vacuum manifold work?

I won't be using the barb fitting the supply to the manifold will come from the gauge sender location and be supplied with a -4 AN hose. Just curious what everyone thinks because I don't want a whole bunch of tee's coming off the gauge sender location.

Another question, I'm having trouble getting Holley to return my calls, I need to know what iac to get the guy I bought this kit from said to get the adapter plate for a screw in gm iac but the plugs don't match up, the plug they have on the kit is a flat four pin plug. That will match up with a bolt on flanged iac not the screw in type. Anyone know what iac I need?

If you go on the Holley forums, you'll see that Danny recommends using the Ford IAC. It's a better IAC then the GM stepper motor. The downside is that you can't use the IAC plug in the harness and will need to use an input instead.

 

[MikeH686]

Yeah i read that after I posted this up, I'll start getting that done

 

[RacEoHolic330]

Let me know if you need any info with the fuel and timing tables to help get the car started. What are you running for ignition? Keeping the TFI?

 

[MikeH686]

Yeah the tfi will be kept that is what the guy I bought it from did

 

[MikeH686]

@RacEoHolic330 looking to get a gauge for afr, looking at innovates mtx gauge any thoughts on this?

[MikeH686]

Alrighty then lol the Holley has its own integrated one I just want a gauge that I can see myself

 

[RacEoHolic330]

Holley has their own gauges too. They may have provisions to wire an output from the ecu to an external gauge to show AFR. I already had a separate gauge (plx) so I didn't look into it any further.

 

[MikeH686]

Oh that'll be slick I'll look into that

 

[MikeH686]

Yeah Holley has one I'm gonna get that ordered today!

 

[SF Lex]

Finally got around to washing the car in a while. She cleans up pretty good I think.

Those headlights look great !

 

[Noobz347]

Those headlights look great !

Hey buddy... Eyes up here alright? Eyes up here.

 

[MikeH686]

Thanks! It's dirty again maybe I need to wash it up since it's gotten nice out again

 

[MikeH686]

Parts are slowly petering into my possession right now. All the sensors that I was missing for the Holley system showed up today.

 

[MikeH686]

Another update on some parts that came in fellas. Ain't they beautiful!
