Stripped the heater controls down to what I have left, and built a bracket for it.



Finished the dash added my tach.


To hook up my evap and egr system, I needed an alternate way to control it besides computer controlled solenoids. Ported vacuum was suggested to me to be the easiest way to do it. To build the port I tapped a hole in the throttle body just infront of the blade and put in a piece of 3/16 brakeline threaded with 5x1.0mm threads and loctite


Then used a dremel with a carbide bit to cut it down flush.


This port should supply vacuum only during part-throttle cruising and should be "off" during idle and WOT.

I tested it last night and the only thing I'm concerned with is it doesn't build much vacuum until about 2500 rpms. Not sure if it should kick in just off-idle...

I decided to use the stock EGR housing and plumbing and find a mechanical valve with a flat mounting surface to re-mount here. I tried to match up the gaskets from the GM solenoid to the mechanical EGR catalog but no mechanical ones have the same mounting pattern. So I cut the studs off and used a mechanical egr gasket I found as a template to drill and tap.




This valve came with a bag of restrictor things that might let me fine tune the exhaust gas settings. I just picked the middle one.



Bolted up and attached a vac line from a T off my new port and should be done with it. The other end of the T connects to the evap canister purge port. Hopefully there will be enough vacuum when I open up the throttle a lot to open the egr and I don't "lose" the vacuum on the evap canister. I think if it does not open fully I could step down the tube size on the canister side to restrict it a bit.


the engine bay is pretty much done. Reloomed all the wires. I even went as far as hooking up a bunch of sensors that aren't needed by the megasquirt and their pigtails just to make it look like the engine is stock-ish. Camaro map sensor , R+L O2 sensors, IAC valve, etc.


Amigo fenders on a Pup!! They stick out 2-3 inches wider and the flares match up. You can see I got more tire coverage for the front axle which is about 2" wider than my rear.
