Man I want to just plug this in to get the higher rev limiter! But it would run like **** cuz #1 I don't have the right injectors in, #2 it's programmed for 8.5:1 compression and for a turbo car, #3 I don't have an FSM to tell me which wires are which so that I can move them around so this ECU will work with my 98.

JWT is out to lunch right now so they are going to call me back any minute so I can discuss shipping the ECU for them for reprogramming.

I also called Courtesy and ordered the following:
-all the exhaust gaskets I need
-new injector O-rings
-an FSM
-and that trunk net I've wanted for a long time

Thanksgiving break will be the time to rock and roll

Again.... I say "nice". When are you sending the ecu out?

I fedXed it out to JWT today to have them look at it. Hopefully I'll get it back by next Wednesday)

Are you gonna run the interheater on your DET or are you gonna slap on a front mount right off the bat? I really want the front mount but there is this 240 up here that I've been eyeing. And I'll need something to get me from point A to point B while my car is down.

I would have liked to send it out tomorrow, but when I called JWT the secretary said the techs were out to lunch and they would call me back. This was about 2:30PM. Left for work at 4:45 and my parents told me at 6:30PM or so when they got back from errands that they had called and left a message on the machine. I don't see why I can't go ahead and ship it off with a letter inside telling who I am and what I need done and just talk to them about it Monday before they receive it.

Mel- ain't got a DET. Got the turbo parts off of a DET that I am putting on my 98 Sentra's DE. Since you can't top mount that interheater on a low port engine (not that I care to anyways) it will be front mounted from the getgo.

Ooooops... doh! My bad. I might end up having to run the interheater for like a month after I get the motor in. That sucks. I'm hoping I won't though. Guess I'll have to wait and see then. Can't wait to go turbo though.

if you don't mind me asking, what was the cost of the turbo? i assume it was a jdm peice?

TIA

It's (gasp) the turbo stuff off of Mike Jez's blown DET from the convention. I know it's cursed, but he gave it to me for a good price

I got:

-Turbo manifold
-T25 turbo
-custom 2.5" mandrel downpipe from turbo to cat Mike got made for it- he paid like $250 for this piece
-370cc injectors
-turbo intake tube with all the necessary vacuum lines
-recirculation valve w/TB tube thing (since hacked off)
-interheater
-new (extra) turbo outlet elbow Mike had bought for some reason

All for $1000

When he offered prices for it I immediately emailed him and said "I want it! And don't forget who it was who dragged your ass back up from the convention..."
