Trigger happy

This is the reason I drove 300km for nothing with the car on trailer. The RPM sensor was too close on the trigger wheel and ECU did not get stable rpm data. Luckily the fault codes are recorded in the ECU, but I did not know that until I got home from the dyno/ test session. Maybe next time I'll get the car tuned. Now it at least drives well.

Computer says...YES

I spent all day yesterday trying to get the ECU to communicate with all the sensors and the computer said NO quite many times. RPM data was missing the whole time but after I updated the software version everything started to work. Should have known. Today I adjusted the valves and the engine fired right up and sounded healthy right from the beginning. The cam is now broken in and I can start tuning.

Smoke is from the thermo tec, paint, dust, oil...and smells really bad.

Almost done

Well, not really, but engine is finally in the car. Got it cranked for oil pressure and also tested the fuel lines with 5bar pressure, no leaks. I have some problems with the new ECU and software but I hope to solve them soon. Exhaust fits better than I expected. It does not hang too low and ground clearance should not be an issue.


Ignition leads are missing but otherwise it is ready to be fired up.
