Curtis -

No, it's not weatherproof. The idea with the relay board is to make sure everything will work as intended. If not, it'll all go back to OE with the OE main harness. If the system works well, I'll rip out the relay board and harness.... and hack the OE harness. It's a lot more work this way (and probably more confusing), but since it's the first time I've tried a MS system, I want to make sure I can get back to where it was if things go south. This arrangement will work long enough to find out if the whole package is worthy. If I want it to last a little longer, I can always fill that AMP connector with RTV and seal the relay board case with it, too.... heck, the MS folks don't even put the relay boards in a full case..... they leave the electronics exposed. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

There's still a lot to do:

1) I have a 3000GT VR4 fuel pump - Denso OE replacement - on order. It's not a direct fit on the truck pump mount..... don't yet know what I'll have to do to make it work.

2) I still need to order injectors..... decided to go with 360cc/min - same size as the VR4. Since the Diamante pumps out 175HP with the bigger cams, I figure I'd better allow for a bit more HP this time.... maybe as much as 250HP with boost..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

3) I'm waiting for pistons - custom forged Wisecos - before I can bore the block.... probably another 3 weeks before they arrive.

4) I may have to machine the cam sprockets to make them adjustable - don't know until I install the heads and degree the cams.

5) I may have custom copper head gaskets made - won't decide until I install the pistons and check the deck height.

6) Since I'm using forged pistons and so many parts from different engines, I'm going to have the entire rotating assembly balanced.... crank damper all the way to the flex plate..... thinking about doing some work to the crankshaft, also.... knife-edging might be a little excessive, but I'll probably get the couterweights trued (if they need it).

7) I just received an Innovate LC-1 controller w/ the wideband o2 sensor - I'll hook that up later. I looked hard at Charley's suggestion (TechEdge), but until I know more about MS, I think I should stick with what most MS users/dealers can provide advice about.

There's a bunch of work still left, so if you want to take a vacation for a few days, come on over. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
