Woken up by an 8:30am phone call, it's ok though, because the sump is READY!!! Whoooooo!!!

 

Very much looking forward to seeing and hearing (recordings of) this!

 

Come on man we're all waiting here!

 

Ready for start up but can't connect laptop to Ecu to put on latest map.
Tomorrow I'll be on the phone to omex trying to get it cranking.
All the bits on ignition live work which is great, fuel gets up to pressure, charger pump is flowing nicely coolant mix is a little strong ..
Engine coolant only has water in whilst testing for leaks.
Sump looks good.
Wiring very tidy.
Oil pressure gauge lights up as does lambda ratio gauge, neither display anything meaningful probably because the car isn't running.
Drive shaft cups swapped.

Calling it a night as we're all tired.

Disappointed but still happy.

Charger coolant looks awesome! Until you put it in the reservoir, then it just looks mucky

 

My vxr8 has oil temp and pressure gauges, but I have no idea what they mean ... All I know is when I am stuck in traffic it goes up to 100c and when I tracked it,it went up to 150c

 

Here's a little teaser from tonight

 

Good luck on first start up !

 

Keep an eye on things like oil lines and joints.Mine was good on starter motor oil pressure but once it got going I had a few leaks.Best of luck with the start up and great job.

 

^ What he say^

Of course, once you 'wet' the coolant with anti-freeze, it'll find any way out it can, so check again.

 

anywhere near? looking good !

time to ???

or maybe ?
