So it's down to buying a $300 flexplate or drilling/oblonging the holes on this one

Not saying it's what I'll do but it's not even remotely uncommon.Yeah... That sounds like a great idea.
minimal material removed equally across the flywheel. It would be fineI thought flexplates were balanced?sooooo would like make that a
Ignoring all the mixed breed rambling, I've got a lot of friends (read guys that don't live anywhere near me) who had great success with the MS3. That has not been my luck. I've got it posted for sale to replace with the Holley system that I'm comfortable with. We'll see if it sells.Wait a minute.......
Why after having success w/ Holley's EFI system did you choose to take the road you're on? Granted, the MS3pro x is every bit as capable as that is, but the learning curve is killing you. If I had invested the money in that piece and was struggling to get the car running as much as you are,.....I'd have a carb on it. ( After just btchin Matt Cramer all up and down daily)
(Which makes me wonder how the 4 of us here that built kits have running cars w/ a close to very good tune w/ next to zero help from the fine folks at DIY auto tune.) Perhaps,......ummmmm,....because.......Steve??
Or.......
I think it's the "This engine don't belong here" gremlin,..payin a visit to claim his reward for your insolence...To think that you would invite certain doom, and risk a cursed remainder of your days all because you insist on putting the wrong engine in the right car, just boggles the mind.
Your balls must be so big you waddle when you walk.
Now,...even the simple sht is bitin your ass,....11.5" BC converters not fitting on 11" flexplates,....
This sounds like a page out of my build thread.
Only I gotta ford engine in my ford.

Steve was a big help, and his tune truly did make an obvious difference but it's still fighting to overcome some sort of perimeter or setting that I can't find. And frankly needing to pull my hair out trying to figure it out and the oh-so-helpful single sentence email responses from DIY and the phone they never answer has turned me away from it all together.
As of now, my interest in working on the car is dwindling as my frustration about various aspects of it grows so rather than pressing on until I decide to sell it, Im going to take a break for a while and wait for something to spark my interest in it.
Been full speed ahead since about august on this thing and it's burning me out.
If I could do what I really want I'd be cutting the front end off, moving the turbos out and redoing the coldside. That would fix my dump tubes being where I don't want them and my coolant hoses being jacked up like they are.
But it's not in the cards right now financially.
To-do:
Change EFI system
Fix turbo oil line
Setup rear end
Reroute starter/battery wiring
Build fuel pump mount
Fuel line solution (possibly sump tank)
Mount shifter
Modify/replace flexplate
Fix fuel leak
Reroute plug wires
Make mount for catch can
Cut holes in bumper for exhaust

Tanner, I'm very seriously looking at Holley HP efi myself right now. When I can get away from work long enough to reassemble my engine I'm giving MS one more very brief chance.. I'm almost certain it's going to go the way of the do-do. I know too many people that have holley and are in love with how simple it is, and how well it works.
As for that flexplate, would clocking it 45* and redrilling holes be doable, or do need a raised boss for the hole? If some plates come with multiple patterns, what's keeping you from making your own?
I appreciate that offer, and would still like to take you up on it. Given my connectivity issues, I can't really do anything with it as is..... before you sell the system off....
I can give you a course on how to use, setup, configure and tune the system.
You already know the tuning basics through a different system, you will likely start to finish my sentences while we go over the tune.
Give me one hour, by the end of that hour if the car is not idling on its own I will concede defeat.
Hello, mod dude.The frustration associated with emailing DIYAT is pretty well documented here. I would definitely recommend calling them on the phone before I did anything else.
