I did get time to detail the car over the weekend
Thank you
I remember when I only had one kid. How stressful it all seemed at the time (19 years old) and the thought of ever having another one seemed like a really bad idea while being woke up every 2-3 hours all throughout the night. Now that I have five (no more) my wife and I consider it a "break" when their grandparents keep two for the night and we only have three to watch. Lmao.
All humor aside though, there's not a better moment in this life than when I'm at home at night with all of them just watching them all play and laugh in the living room floor. It's then you realize that this it's the only sense of genuine fulfillment a human being gets in his/her life.
With our cars, its like we're always wanting more wether it be looks or power....somehow never satisfying. But with a child, that contentment is there from the day he/she is born.
Good to hear from all you dads on the forum.

You are very very right....I think the best thing I have done in MY ENTIRE LIFE is to hold this little kid and put him to sleep in my arms....you can see the peace he is in....its a different feeling

Back to our conversation that night...have you considered a standalone EMS for the motor? There's sooooo many of them out there that are actually quality pieces of equipment. If you're comfortable with adapting a harness to the engines sensor connectors, your possibilities are endless. Motec is one Ive heard great things about but go to google and search for "engine management system". Otherwise, you could convert the engine using a 2nd gen j-series oil pump and cam pulleys (for cam/crank sensor mounting provisions) and then purchase the appropriate harness, sensors/electronics, j35a8 ECM, then Hondata and be on your way. I honestly would depend on any piggyback crap when you could go one of the two ways listed and get accurate data from the engine back to the controller rather than changing/modifying a highly sensitive signal and risk so many things.

Any insight on it?

^^^ I ask for a very very selfish reason (as well)....
I have a MS3 sitting in my garage and I either want to sell it, or use it....was hoping if you guys knew or knew some one who can help with that....

There's a guy here (local) with a 03 TL spraying 125 shot... not sure of his mods (bolt-on heavy I'm sure), but he did mention he's running Megasquirt to tune. He's usually at the shop when I stop by there... I'll ask him who tuned his.

Though all it will get for break in is about 200 miles of moderate driving (mostly for the clutch) The main part of an engines break-in happens the first time you start the engine. As per Hondas recommendation, i let the car idle for 20 min the first time i started it. Ive never given any of my motors more than 200 miles before they saw repeated redline. None have ever failed

OMG is there ever. Now i know what you have been feeling all this time. Yes i smile. More like giggle like a little kid.
It took some time playing with the TB (stock) to get the Voltage correct and to get it to read 100% open. After a little grinding i got it. Now to finish the dual TB setup and really give it some air.

Making fun of the 3.2
I bet my 3.2 will make more power than most 3.5 and 3.6's will NA. Now just imagine what it feels like with 600 lbs removed from car. Custom IM and headers is where the power is at besides FI. Then I can just swap out a new motor for 600 or less whenever needed without worrying about internals.
That is just my preference. Don't hate me for posting my opinion.

No hate here. Its all about what each person wants
Having all this torque on top of a nice linear power band will make the car an even bigger blast now on lapping days. Now to get the Dual TB im and better/larger headers made to really let it breath.

Update time! (Per request)
I have been delegating attention to the Accord day by day and finally got the new rings in along with most of the bottom end reassembled. Today I'll try and get the heads back on and torqued down and maybe the belt too. Still waiting on a few more parts to get back from ceramic coating but that's either today or tomorrow morning. After that, it's just a matter of reinstalling the turbo components and making sure everything's where it needs to be.
With Kris having this new 3.7 up and running, I have some motivation I getting things finished.
