Good news. I managed to drive it 22 miles so far today with no catastrophic failures. Not even so much as an oil drip, so it looks like I did a good job building the motor.

Tonight, I'll get it running safely to the top of the 440cc injectors I have in it, and then swap out for the 1680cc injectors to tune higher boost. Then it's off to the dyno for fine tuning and getting baseline numbers.

Well, I can't keep the standalone in sync with the crank, so it's taking me longer than expected. I have to order more electronic gizmos and solder a seperate injector circuit in. Hopefully that will fix the problems I'm having. But until it breaks up, I'm able to make a ton of power... Spins 2nd like I'm standing still at 13psi or so.

Well, I think I finally got the standalone happy, but now I'm having issues getting enough fuel. 400hp of e85 boosted is aboutas fuel thirstyan N/A gas car at 700hp. So I have to do a pretty expensive fuel pump upgrade, and I'm poor. I'm shipping out 2 turbo kits here as soon as I can get them done, but working too much cuts into my garage time pretty good.

It'll all be worth it man, a 400hp base Neon is going to be nuts.

Never thought I'd honestly hear a Neon being referred to as a beast, hahaha.
