Latest updates have been wiring the 255HP pump into the factory ECU. I picked up a Radium relay kit and then replaced their wire with my own 12GA TXL wire, Raychem MiniSeals, DR-25, etc. It's all good to go runs the car with the key now vs. having to drape wires out from the trunk for testing LOL.

Additionally, the car had a 5K rpm tach since it started as a 325e. That had to go. Found a 7K face and coding plug:




And finally, the SI board which I had replaced in like 2008 with a Programa unit had died and was leaking. I managed to find a lithium battery unit. I swapped the lithiums on it and everything works once again... and my battery doesn't drain!

I realized my fuel sender gauge has a bad ground because it is apparently missing a nut, so I ordered some. But also took the opportunity to build the solder up for a better connection, also:





Tach, temp, etc. all work again! No battery drain. And, she runs with the simple turn of a key:

Nice to see Mr. Kensy back at with the attention to detail.

I’ve always enjoyed looking at your photos even before instagram existed. Lol


Bravo!
