it's just running on a completely standard map at the moment, i haven't even calibrated the injectors yet



It's getting better the more we run the engine, I wonder if the valve guide seals have gone hard as the engine has been standing a couple of years.

Could very well have done they are a common problem on our cars when i burnt a valve on my original head i swaped it off another engine i had sat around for a couple of years and that smoked but never did when i first got the engine so likley with all the oil drained to the bottom the rubber goes hard or can even perish

Tune the injectors mate and in the engine for abit proberly just needs to bed in again.

I havne't put the greens in yet, my policy is always to leave as much the same as it was, so if there is a problem starting the car after an engine change, your not chasing your own tail. now that I know it runs I'll put the adjustable fuel pressure regulator on and put the greens in. there's loads to do on Monday.

Look forward to the new vids mate .

Greens are now on, along with the adjustable fuel pressure regulator, the car is no longer smoking (well, not strictly true, it's over-fueling at the moment until I adjust it tomorrow) so I hope to actually drive it tomorrow afternoon.

Afraid not mate, got the fuel pressure sorted, but it's all the little things that seem to zap the time. tomorrow I need to drop the evans pre treatment and put the proper coolant in and re-fit the bonnet, then a test drive, I hope it's better than before, or all this will have been a waste of time.

It will be fine mate what could possibly go wrong

I've got to start from scratch, it won't run with any of my other maps, won't even start on the map I was using before, all my fueling figures on TT are really low compared to before.

What you mean by low? just interested cos

[claymore]

well, before I was running blues @ 3 bar, so I would have to put a much higher duty cycle* in. now with bigger injectors @ 3.8 bar, they don't need to squirt for as long.



*correct term?

[hybriduno]

injector latency

For starting alone you can consentrate on the 1st 4x4 boxes in the top left hand corner, ive done alot of work in this area lol

Yep, it's all good now

Well first drive went without drama, apart from once I go past 6psi the car splutters, but it's just a case of live mapping it on the weekend
