That's another option, but as you said it will be costly. I could do a Greddy Blue, and a V-Manage as well. However the most viable options that would be perfect for feature packed would be the Haltech, Osiris, and (supposedly) this UTEC. I think however the UTEC is very much geared towards FI cars.

You'll need to run a 04+ ecu to use Osiris the 95-03 ecu's do not have enough memory. I have this system on my G35 and have been kicking around the idea of a full 04 maxima or 350Z ecu 3.5swap in my 4gen so I can use Osiris in that too

My UTEC fuel correction sucks too! I will spend hours tuning the AFR perfectly at 13.0. Then a month or two later, I find my AFR will be 11.5 in some areas of the map and 13.5 in another area. I've been having this problem constantly since the first day I installed my first UTEC. I have tried over 3 different UTECs too. So I have to tune my fuel every month or so if I want to keep it reasonable.
The only good thing about this system is that when you tell it to run a certain ignition timing, it runs it!

I've been following the progress since the 1st post and it sounds like you are going about the whole process correctly.
I have some experience with engine builds/ecu mods as I fully built my 97' eclipse 420A into a 400+ HP turbocharged monster. After 1 year and 16k+ down the drain i sold it due to reliability issues. I hope you have better support than I do!
I'm looking forward to hearing how your able to resolve your current concerns.

Just bought a house so I might not be able to until I get settled in, also that day was the last day for TNT here so I might have to go some where else with different track conditions.

Nice job so far....from the video, it almost looked like the Civic had caught up but then when the times posted, he was nowhere close....if you pulled a 2.3 on that run, then a better 60' would put you where, around 13.6/13.7s perhaps?
Keep up the good work...have fun finding time for anything once you start moving in (one of the spare bedrooms still had stuff boxed up after a year!)

agreed fully built 3.5 should easy be in the 12s. the 60' isnt THAT bad, but even if he got a 1.8 on slicks this is only a mid 13 sec car, hopefully a good tune will yield some good power, as the trap isnt that good either. either way props on a nice build...

That's what I'm hoping for, is that my timing chain skipped teeth. It would solve alot of unanswered issues for me right now, and more then likely be done with the car at that point.
I just moved out last weekend, and living out of a suitcase for the next 4 months till my house is finished being built will be no fun. The car should go into Matt's garage in the next couple of weeks so he can tear it down again and realign the timing chain, then back on the tune. We'll hope to see what happens here shortly. Haven't thrown in the towel quite yet, but have been very close to. arrrgh!

Cam timing over advanced, Misfire in cylinder 2 I believe (coil I assume), o2 sensor (doesn't like E85 I'm guessing, or Sim is dead), don't remember the last one, I need to read it again with the Cipher.

I actually used the VTC Solenoids off my original motor when there were no codes for timing, so I'm almost positive that it's still in working order.
