Good stuff ! ! ! Try raising the idle upto 1200rpm and adding 25% duty cycle to the idle control valve. That should smooth it out a bit. You can + or - some ignition in the idle area of the map to.

I called up and spoke to Bo at AEM and we went thru and recalibrated a few things on the AEM EMS. It will get me by and allow me to put put just around town to put some miles on it before I go in for tunning in 2 weeks. And the moment you have all been waiting for.

Looks good man! You did a lot of work in a short amount of time! LOL
One question though, how do you have your breather tank mounted?? I have mine in a similar spot, but I can't figure out how to mount it over there. Thanks

Re: My B18C1 Engine Build/Assembly
I noticed today while putting around my oil light flickers a idle when my oil pressure is around 22-25 psi. Is this normal? My oil pressure is 65-75 when I driving

Nope no loose wire. I think its because im not running the factory ECU, Im running AEM EMS and I think there is a setting in there that needs to be changed.

Re: My B18C1 Engine Build/Assembly
Your oil pressure is fine and its nothing to do with your ecu. The stock sendor act's as a ground. Either its faulty or theres a bad connection somewhere.
Just think how bad you'd be pulling your hair out now if you didnt have a oil pressure gauge lol.
