It lives 😃
Was out early this morning to try and finish things off, had to faff around with a spacer plate for the 2.2 throttle body where the holes wouldn't line up properly and the bolts needed cutting down. I already have the proper larger throttle body which is an easier fit but Courtenays wanted me to use the smaller one as that's what most people will use for the stage1 kit.
I turned it over on the starter with no spark plugs in to get the oil pressure up which made it make an amusing tooting sound like an organ then eventually put the plugs in and gave it a go. Was left scratching my head for a while as there was no spark but after resetting things with an OBDII connection it started first time 🙂
It seems to be running pretty nicely and is able to move under its own steam on the drive, but I ran out of time to do much more today.
Now I need to tidy up the wiring, cable tie it down, double check a few bolts, make sure the coolant hose and fuel lines are fully secured away from the belt, bleed the coolant system, replace a wheel arch liner, resecure the battery and change over the wheels to something more appropriate for the current weather.
Then it goes off to Courtenays for final tweaks to the map and a general check over.
