Car absolutely looks great.

The stripes really work with the white background and lack of badging on the car.

Once you get that engine finished up and installed, you'll be "back in business" again.
Keep up the great work Mats!

Looks great! Ant wait to find out what the builder discovers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)


Hopefully he wont discover much of anything. He finished building the engine only 3 weeks ago. But he built it with 5.6" rods without telling me that would make the engine 15 mm's wider than stock, he also didnt use my donor 1.7 case and instead used a buss case which I wasnt too thrilled about. He's been understanding to my disapointment and will take the engine back to install 5.4" rods and use the case I sent him.

So I'll have to wait a bit longer but in the end it will be worth it.

Today we made some noise and got the idle and low revs tuning set up good enough to ba able to put it onto a trailer and eventually take it to the tuners.

Need to check the #3 cylinder temp sensor because it wasnt following the #1 cylinder sensor at all temperature wise....

Thank you Frank, it sure does....cant wait to hear it do more than 2000 rpm, at 2000 it will have almost another 5k to go before the revlimiter cuts in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Would that be shaken or stirred Sir? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've pulled the old roll bar out to try to get it ready for blasting and powdercoat but first
I rescued these old tech inspection labels from it.

Love the period inspection stickers.


Sorry if this is a repetitive request:

Can you post the details of the induction that you are running?


Thanks!

Pulled of the passenger side intake manifold to get the the #3 spark plug.

Removed the culprit temo sensor and I've sent it back to the vendor to hopefully be exchanged.

Very happy with the Scart muffler, the fit against the heater boxes was spot on, unlike the old Bursch snake pit that needed alot more effort to put in place.

Did you get the Scart Super Sound? Eventually I am getting one for my car. Can't wait to hear a video of it singing.

Well I got my faulty CHT sensor replaced and this weekend I've been running the engine on low revs and letting it heat up properly to check that both the air flap thermostat and oil cooler thermostat opens as they should. I've also verified that when the ecu sends 0 degrees ignition thats what the engine gets, also checked that the 27 degree mark lines up with the ignition locked to 27 degrees. Also been working on syncing the itb's as best I can with a synchrometer. The resulting airflow ended up at (6) (5) (5.5) (5.5) at 1000 rpm idle.

Over the next few days I'm going to drain the fuel tank to replace it with fresh fuel since the fuel thats in it has been sitting since may last year.

Ummm...yeah about that..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I kinda forgot to put that back.....which I've noticed now as I've been running the engine that the trunk floor gets warm-ish. Got a solution for it tho, will hopefully show it in a day or two. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Slowly working thru my pre dyno checklist, draining the old gas from last years dyno attempt and will replace it with fresh fuel. The old fuel I put into the wifeys Saab and then I still had about 25 liters left so I had to call a friend over to put those in his car since I had no place else to put it.

Then onto the issue with the missing heat shield. I took a few measurements and drew one up in Solidworks, bought some 2 mm sheet of aluminium and then bribed the laser boys at work that cut the shape for me. Did the bend myself at home between two screwed together 2x4's. Using the rear sway bar holes as mounting points Then I will also add a couple of connections to the lower bumper mounting bolts aswell to keep it from rattling around.
