http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh258/vandrel/R33/dyno.jpg
Turns out the motor was toast, had a miss and #5 piston and cylinder cracked not to long after. Time for new motor

http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh258/vandrel/image001.jpg
Went to pick up the car, ended up having a miss yet again on the new motor and the shop failed at life to find it ahead of time (7 months prior when the car was dropped off and new motor arrived). So back to square 1, need new motor.

-April 20th 2009 | Troubleshooting fuel issues. Motor runs like crap after installing it, running way to rich above 10 on the wideband. Fuel leaking from exhaust flanges, engine oil beeing flooded with fuel. Removed injectors to inspect them, numerous o-rings were ripped and shredded, some of the black plastic near the nozzels were damaged and looked as if they were forced into the fuel rail. Power FC settings via Datalogit crosschecked to be set for the appropriate injector sizes, running at 50%. Small coolant leak on heater hose line near firewall (plastic connector). Suspect and was advised block needs flushed thoroughly to rid all rust and debri from inside that might be causing slight overheating when motor is running. No other leaks present/noticed.
-April 27th 2009 | Replaced fuel injector o-rings, still having fuel issues. Going to a new shop on May 1st to do some repair, tuning and dyno time.
-May 1st 2009 | Dropped off at National Speed for the remainder of the work and a tune.
