Make a three-way jumper with blade terminals on the ends like this one:



and plug it into terminals 87, 87b and 30 in the DME relay's plug. That should run the fuel pump. If you don't hear it, there's something wrong with it.

Shouldn't I hear it with a brand new DME relay?

Crackership

Maybe... it only runs when the DME sees a few hundred RPM's, so you've got to crank the engine to make the DME trigger the relay. The pump isn't exactly quiet, but I can't hear it over the starter.

I will check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.


There is the little plastic housing that sits on the front of the water pump. It feeds water through the cross pipe to the turbo. Should that plastic housing have a gasket?

It uses an o-ring.

+ 1 on the o-ring
Also... It's a good idea to replace that plastic housing, if its the original one?
A used one, has a tendency to bow out from the center over time , where that o-ring resides and may leak. Ask me who I know

Video maybe?

Ok, got it figured out. I spent plenty of time on the phone with Joshua troubleshooting the issue. After 10pm on a Sunday night of a holiday weekend. That is some top notch customer service.

Here are a few new pics.

The first few are of the light kit I put on. Thanks to KP(Got me a porsha) for the kit.

The last few are how the car looks right now.

There are a few last minute things to do* but I will make it to RSR in this car.


* The outside drivers side door handle broke when I was trying to get it started.

azbanks

It's alive. I got it to fire up this evening.
It wiil be ready for the RSR drive tomorrow!!!!!!!: jumper:


A big thanks to KP for helping me get his light kit set up correctly and for loaning my his wheels and tires while mine were getting powder coated.
A big thanks to Josh for helping me get M-tune squared away. Great customer service!!!!!!!
A big thanks to my friend Larry Jenson. 20+ year mechanic at Porsche North Scottsdale.
A HUGE THANK YOU to Jeremy Himsel!!! Without his help, I'd be driving a toyota or some other POS.

Wow, you got a whole lot done in a pretty short time!

What's the thing where the power steering reservoir would normally be?

azbanks

I wasn't working last week so I put in a LOT of hours trying to get it all together.

That is the LR catch can. It is not perfect in that spot and it needs some "adjustments" to work the way I want it to.

azbanks

What size cheesehead do I need for the CV bolts?

Jeremy Himsel

How's it run?
