For my oil feed line, I used an -AN to hardline compresson adapter from Jegs.

This is what I used: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s ... 5_-1_10019

It's super easy to install and works great.

I haven't fired it up yet, but it's getting close. Very close. I did crank the engine over a bit without the fuel injector clips plugged in, just to get some oil pumped around. I probably could have fired it up tonight, but I'm being silly and modifying my throttle body so I can use a braided stainl...

Dyno tuning is not necessary, no. For ultimate optimization, tuning on a dyno would be very helpful, but if you know what you're doing, you can get a good tune on the street. Tuning fuel using the MegaLogView is very easy. Just go for a drive and log all your data, then go back and feed it into the ...

The table generator in MegaTune works well for a starting point.

Tuning with MegaLogView is very easy too, not to mention it's a lot of fun. Even if a "base map" did exist I wouldn't use it. Tuning is just way to much fun!

The change happen during the 2000 model year. So if you have an early '00 it will have the 47psi reg, and if you have a late '00 it will have a 58psi reg.

I don't know what month the change occured, so if your build date is mid '00 you'll have to do some investigating to find out which reg it has.

The lower torque strut is essentially a two-force member, that is loaded mostly in compression. There will be some tension on it from time to time, but the compressive forces are much more significant. Due to the geometry of that bracket, the bolt would probably sheer before the bracket would break....

The link for the NGC firmware is in the FAQ at the top of the page.

As far as base maps go... you're probably better off just using the table generator in MT. You're going to have to tune it either way...

From what I understand, you need the MS2 chip to do it on our IACs. I just left mine up to the stock computer. Works fine. MS1 will can control 2-wire PWM solenoids, such as the ones on 2gn Neons; however, it can't control a 4-wire stepper motor. Since your car has a 2-wire PWM solenoid, you're goo...

Yep. There are 4 bolts holding the bell housing to the block. Once those are out, it should slide right off.

My tranny was dificult to remove as well. I think the trick is to support the engine/tranny in such a way that you can pull perfectly straight on the tranny. It should just slide right out.
