TONS of the "little things" and then a good bit of tuning. Hardest part is having the free time to get it all done.

@griff Where did you source the LFX to DCT adapter parts? Are those one-off you machined or an off-the-shelf kit?

unfortunately at this time they are all one-off parts. More to come on that front though once I get this damn thing working. I planned to get some solid progress made last week but ended up fighting off a 105 fever for a few days. Almost back to normal today but still ZERO energy.

I realize this is a year old, but are those 4 cracks on the mating surface?

How's your progress been going on your ECUmasters setup controlling the DCT?

MUCH progress lately! I have the car running fully on the Syvecs ECU with the GDI delete and GT3RS throttle body. Purrs like a kitten on 1300cc injectors! DCT is in a VERY basic configuration and I am actively working through all of the CAN messaging. Should go pretty quick once I have all of the elements identified and what devices need them but the planning phase takes a fair bit of time because not all CAN devices are created equally. Once that is done I will develop all of theTraction Control and calibration strategies I want in the car. Last step will be time on a steady state dyno to see what kind of boost she can take with PFI and lower compression.

She is now fully functional with a BMW DCT and converted to port injection on the Syvecs. This weekend I will start fabbing up a new hood to clear the intake.

Amazing build thread, I've read almost the entire thing! What did you end up doing for the timing chain, did you find a better one?
