@OffTheWall....thanks for the feedback man. Yup not a wiring guy at all so this is likely the route I am going. I love the features including 2-step, fuel blending, and boost controller just to name a few.

I will keep an eye on your thread bud....keep up the good work. Cheers!

For the "technical" reasons is fair to say LINK has some better control/features and the best, imo, are the fail safes (fuel psi, oil psi, coolant psi etc). We are a huge seller and installer (me personally) of these Ecu's and I've become more familiar with them. Ms3-pro would of worked, but with the opportunity I had. I wasn't going to pass a better ECU up.

Our shop Evo 8 got a chance to go to PRI last year (2017). It was a pretty big deal for us!!!!

that's pretty dope that your shop car made it to PRI. As far as tuning goes on the link ecu how difficult would it be for someone coming from hp tuners?

From what I've seen, which isn't much. They seem to be very different. The owner here does all the tuning.

I'm going to try to get some seat time behind the laptop with this new set up though.

Quick update. It's not much but it'll have to do!

Got my subframe dipped and stiffened up. Using the GKtech V2 kit.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U8pso-EGxg

Refreshed a bunch of things, mostly suspension. Nothing too crazy.



Supercharger stuufff!



LSA waterpump
LSX Concepts heavy duty pulley kit
Dirty Dingo Alternator bracket (Had to do my own spacing)

So are you going to end up hacking a huge hole in the hood to run the supercharger or make some sort of cowled hood piece?

I sold the hood, i didn't want to do anymore cutting to the hood than I already did. Most likely wont be using a hood for a bit.

WELP, due to some recent events and a damn near a whole year.. My "part out" was put on hold. I don't think any would of really cared, because its the internet and 2019 and everyone does part outs... and builds rarely ever get finished. But, anyway, I'm going to be trying something new here, personally.

So, with that said. The new thing I'm trying to put a "well rounded" series of YouTube videos. Being where I work, and do what I do, I think I can bring some neat footage, maybe, to you guys. Some of it will be meh, but I think some of it will be newish to the scene.

So, the pictures below are what I did last years winter. Instead of fixing my half ass radiator set up and my extreme caster issue. I decided to supercharge it. I was 99% done with the entire set up.... Then one day I really wanted to get out of it and sell it all. I had just recently bought a Evo and all that. BUT, now I have some new motives to get it back up and running with a all new build!









****I really would like some input/comments on what is best in a build v-log or whatever you want to call it.. I'm thinking what I'll be doing is something that has never been done before. But, that doesn't matter If no one cares to watch it. So any feedback I'd greatly appreciate it.*****

The biggest issue with vlogs is people talking too much..Adam lz, Tommy, etc etc etc..all just a shit ton of talking with limited content.

I am old school, so I am a huge fan of project Binky for example. If you can take some of the quality work they do and mainstream it, you are off to a solid start

Slightly confused, so it was parted out or you’re still building just now with videos?

I was pretty vague with that. My bad, I started to sell items off the car for awhile now. Sold the supercharger kit, engine, trans and some other related items. I really wanted the chassis gone. Now I'm going rebuild it with some new goals in mind and yes, Id like to document the progress this time.

I have a lot of days like that, when i just want to sell it all and buy something new but i guess I'm just too stubborn to sell after all the work ive put into the chassis. Glad to see you are still continuing with the project. I was wondering what was happening with this car and im excited to see where it goes.

Oh no doubt. That's where i was at for a long time. I simply didn't want to get rid of the chassis because it had so much done to it. But, yeah. Thanks and i hope it'll be entertaining for me and you guys. Build should be fun.

I think a mix of Jimmy Oaks (literally the ONE modern day/mainstream builds I watch as it is simple enough but shows some personality) and Project Binky.
