@Timp. How did you route the OEM windshield washer to the trunk?
I re-routed the OEM washer hose and power/sensor wires from the location in the front along the passenger side of the car to the rear truck. There is a grommet into the trunk with wires going into the truck already I made a small hole and pushed the bundle through. After I sprayed a rubber under coating to seal every thing up. Inside the trunk I routed everything to the driver side where the OEM washer bottle is installed.
Upper rad hose had to be changed as well as the OEM rad hose would not fit. I mocked up a rad hose using the parts from the OEM lower and upper hoses, duct taped everything and went to a local auto store and matched up a perfect fit. Good Year # 60932 Getting so close to start up.
Almost there.. too bad there is only bad weather out now timp! lol
How are you going to do the tune? Do you have a shop your going to have it brought too?
Yes welcome to Vancouver West Coast. GTM has sent a tune file based on 94 octane and pully size and a similar set up. I will upload the file before start up. Break in period to follow and some data logging and tweaking as well. Maybe the dyno in the Spring before Mission raceway. Haven't decided on a dyno location yet.
Are you going to get the tranny revamped down the road? I see you've the GTM VB upgrade as myself.
I will have to wait to see how things work out. I will be the only driver and I will not be pounding on the car and from what I have found doing research if the full throttle is kept to the lower gears the transmission should be fine. Only time will tell.
That is exactly accurate keeping it in lower gears will preserve the life of the tranny when boosting. Never Boost in gear 5,6 and 7 unless you're rolling into those gears.
There are a few around. In Langley area there is a guy who is amazing at tuning. He is at VND Motorsport, names Shawn Vaneer. If not that then there is a guy in Burnaby names Jurie at a place called Monkeynutz.

Those are the two I would suggest.
Thanks for the suggestions and I will for sure check both places out. Started the car yesterday afternoon. Sounds awesome! Will post a short video soon.
