Straight up replacement. Still need to find time to get the car Dyno tunned.

The car is complete less CHT sensor replacement. This requirement a modified 14mm deep socket cut down to 1.75 inches in order to remove.

Look forward to hearing your impressions of this setup. It's suppose to be FUN! Glad to see you dropped the 7th injector and went Protomotive tune.

Update:
I finally got around to changing the CHT sensor. What a pain in the rear.

Note: Anyone who drops your engine, please do yourself a favor and change it! It took me 3 hours to take it out and put it back in. Since the treads are really fine, makes it even more challenging.

Now all i need to do is change the connector, since my car is a 95 with the old style connector.

In the final stages!!!!!!

I plan to hit up Nine9six for his PWIS. He charges only a few bucks, but totally worth it and a great guy to boot!!!!!

I already called the tuning shop, and will be expecting his call this week.

Can't believe its been almost 6 months and the car hasn't run!

That's amazing!!! You and Trevor inspired me to do all this...
Clewett pulley/tensioner system
New Injectors
Protomotive Tune

Update on mine...
1) Tested my MAF signals and read 1V like factory (I had some custom plumbing done with the intake and intercooler so Todd was worried I'd be out of spec at Idle and lower running speeds)
2) Ordered the new Bosch White Giant 36 lbs @3Bar EV6 Injectors to replace my old turbo EV1 injectors.
3) Taking out the ECU tomorrow and shipping it to Todd at Protomotive.

The Clewett pulley/tensioner system was the biggest improvement so far... Car and belt alignment has been absolutely perfect!

Exciting times for us!

Meenrod

This all sounds great. Any reason you guys chose this system over the Protomotive turbo conversion which is a similar price/ time to install- considering Todd is doing your tune anyway? I can't decide between the two and a turbo just seems more on brand.

I had this TPC kit on my car since 2002 when it was first released. If I had known about Todd at Protomotive at the time I would have gone with him.
I'm too much invested in my setup to switch now.

The TPC kit itself is OK... It needs a lot of work to get it running right. In my case A LOT of work! The support when you call TPC is absolute crap. On that alone I'd go with Protomotive.

Meenrod

Wow. That's not what I expected you to say! Thanks for the insight .

Update from me

Got the 36# at 3.5 Bar injectors installed (Our cars FPR are 3.8BAR)
Car runs smooth but is on the lean side. TOo lean for my liking
Todd recommends I install a 5BAR FPR now to get the AFRs perfect.

Hope those Boxster injectors work out for you on the stock FPR Windy.
Also question for you WD... Were you able to reuse the stock injector retaining clips on your new injectors? THey didn't fit my new ones.

windydog

Yes, I reused the clips.

I have someone looking to get my car dyno'd so I can get data. They are looking at ways to data log via harness.

Im close...

TheOtherEric

Indeed you DON'T want to be lean. I have an unopened 5-bar adjustable FPR sitting here on the shelf that I'd be happy to sell you at half-price if you want. It's the ECS Tuning FPR. link

11-23-18 Update

After waiting for others to help me get my car tuned, i gave up. I ordered a Innovate Motorsports PSB-1 PowerSafe Boost and Wideband Air/Fuel Ratio Gauge which will allow me to data log:
RPM
Lambada, A/F
MAP

WIth this, i should be able to get a tune from Todd.

Porsche-ah

Hey Windy,
Sorry to hear that You're so close!
My tune is running pretty good with the new 4.5Bar FPR. Todd advised me to purchase the Palmer Performance ScanXL reader over the Durametric to log all the required info in case he needs to tweak the tune for optimum performance.
Apparently he says it's faster and more accurate.

windydog

If I had OBD2, it would be easy.

I have OBD1 which lead to all the trouble.

How does the car run???

Porsche-ah

Car idles and starts like stock (A very good thing) Car used to stall when coming to a stop from a spirited decell. That's gone yay!
My numbers are a tiny bit lean compared to the numbers Todd told me the car should run at. Only about 0.1 to 0.3 AFR leaner.
WOT seems to be spot on though.

It's already snowing where I am so running the car properly and checking the AFRs is going to be delayed till spring

Todd has been amazing every step of the way.

windydog

Looking for location for guage.
