I have tried every store in town: AutoZone, Checker, PepBoys and NAPA. Even Sears. Nobody has the correct tool. The have the 1 1/16 tool, but ours appear to be 22 or 23mm.

I bought mine through Snap-On. I would think they wouldn't be that hard to find. If you have a mechanic, ask him if you can buy the tool through him. He'll know exactly what you need.

It is a 22mm. Just get a 22mm crows foot wrench.
It looks like the open end of a box wrench but with no handle. Instead, it will have a 3/8" socket hole.

I got an 18MM socket for my old Mountaineer from O'Rileys. They didnt stock one, but they had one ordered and delivered the same day. One of the places you mentioned would do the same I would think.

Picture of a crowsfoot below. Joemamma, don't feel bad. I've never even seen these before. I was under the car the other day checking it out and there isn't much room in that area, this will work perfectly.

Complete stupid question- there's no way I can use my Canzoomer unit to manage the Greddy kit unless I wanted to competely write my own map, right?

Yes or no would be the wrong answer in either case.

How about YOU say yes or no since you didn't provide the answer several times in detail for those with a little less motivation.

After dynoing our cars in the West today, the Greddy Turbo is starting to look more interesting for me

I didn't say yes or no because I had an idea on what the answer was but didn't want to be wrong and give false info, But I knew that you did... I wasn't trying to pee in your cheerios, just trying to make the point that the thread is getting extremely long, and it is easy to pass over a particular post, that is all...

According to Jeff (see the link he posted) you can't because the CZ can't control the fuel injectors directly.

HELP!!!

While coercing the wire loom for the ECU, one of the white wires (the one that goes to one of the two boxes) popped out. I suspect it was tucked in behind one of the black shrink wraps, and it doesn't look like it was a very good solder joint to begin with.

Could some kind soul please take a nice photo of the loom where that white wire goes in?

Thanks in advance............

Rudy8, I see your from Kalamazoo did you go to Western Mich U? I did some grad work there on the supercharger. My son got his BSME from there also.
Funny both of the Professors who helped me were long time tenured profs there but now have great private sector jobs. Most notably Dr. Jay Easwaren. Now has a company that overhauls APU's. Dr. Curt Swanson is in London doing something i don't know.
