No clue man... I hate to interrupt his poetry writing sessions to ask. He makes his cash these days, headlining poetry slams.

His nickname is "moss".

I am not happy with the way my re-wire turned out and it dose not work 100% I have some playing to do and a different re-wire solution is in order. After I have completed it I will share with the public.

For now if you wish you can look up MM's re-wire diagram. It should still be posted somewhere.

Gotcha, I'll still be using the factory seat belts. Not sure if you replaced those for a harness or not.

So the resistor you used for the airbag doesn't work all that well i take it?

Man, that's rough! I hope you can find a way to get this sorted out without too much more delay.

Are we assuming there was something wrong with the rebuild or do you see any way the turbo/other mods would have caused a problem in such a short period of time?

Yes, the engine had zero miles on it, it wouldn't even hold idle. Dead on arrival. BDC (Brian D. Cain) built it. We had good compression on the one housing but the other would not hold compression at all.

Yea... we've installed and removed a few engines several of them fresh builds so it wasn't our first time at the rodeo.

My theory is the bridge was way too aggressive and it ate the seals right up.

Wow really sorry to hear Hoss! At this point there are only 3 builders I would trust with my money. Pineapple Racing, BHR, and Mazmart. Hope you and BDC get this worked out.

BDC has allot to make up for for this build. Building the engine properly and getting it running wont even things up as far as I am concerned... Quite frankly there is nothing he can do to square up with Hoss.

That is my personal opinion and does not reflect opinions of other members on this forum.
