If I catch you doing it again, I will drop a match down your intake, errr, my intake.
i found something awesome out tonight. while trying to search for max o/d's website i found out that when you put "turbo maxima" into google (without ") my cardomain site comes up first... at least it does for me. thought that was pretty nifty.
speaking of max o/d anyone know where he's at with his car?

ok, i admit i did have trouble with it once. i just remembered about it when thinking of the match in the intake. 
i pulled the injector out to get the part number and when i went to put it back together had some trouble... this is what happens when an injector isn't properly seated

yes, that's gas in the intake ports. there was also some in the cylinders and the oil pan. had to drain the oil/gas, take the plugs out, and crank the engine to get all of the gas out (with the ignition coil unplugged mind you).

i still have a few more things to sort out on this thing. anyone know if our cars need that msd adapter thingy for the ignition boxes?

the "tach adapter"??
something like that. they say sometimes on imports there is some sort of unit needed for the ignition unit to run properly. i can't seem to make mine work for some reason so i'm wondering if i need that.

i'm pretty sure this is what the manual was talking about:
Dual Channel Ignition Adapter
In some instances when you install an MSD Ignition, the factory ECU may not be able to distinguish when the coil fires. This is the signal that is also responsible for firing the injectors (or the tachometer), which may cause a no-run situation.
The Dual Channel Ignition Adapter simulates the original coil trigger signal thus allowing the ECU to properly trigger both the tach and fuel injection with the MSD DIS Ignition installed. In most cases, the Adapter plugs directly into the MSD’s Harness. For vehicles using an MSD DIS-2 Ignition, only one PN 8912 is required. For DIS-4 applications, two PN 8912’s are required.
could also be the tach adapter thing part number 8910. i'll have to check the manual again.
