Hot air 109 engine build

[Toby_Goodmk]

Tons of work in the engine bay with ripping out all old wire loom, all old tape and re-taping and new loom, hiding wires, painting the frame again and finally assembly of components, and running vacuum lines. Got the TR6 mounted and put into place. Test fitted some of the spark plug wires, got the IAT wires ran, need to run the 2 Step wire into the car, drill a hole into the brake pedal for the 2 step switch next. Hooked up the harness and insured all worked well....lights work, fuel pump kicked on....life is good.... Installed the canton oil filter and was able to use the steel braided hose with adequate length to the turbo just fine. Hopefully the remflex gaskets show tomorrow, so I can get the headers run so I can get it started.

Radiator fan caspers control installed, and wired into the ECM, IAT wired into the ECM; wideband 6.1 chip installed; cam sensor dialed in and confirmed with the TR6 phasing mode...which is totally bad ass. That is shows up on the RPM where it needs to set at is very very helpful

She is alive! Got to start her up for the first time today. After a couple hours tonight chasing why it wouldn't stay running the final result of the evening was a fine idling, pop pop pop pop. I chased what I figured was a vacuum leak because my 02 was so low and heard the hiss, but could not find the damn thing. Ended up being a bolt to the throttle body that did not torque down leaving a leak at the TB to turbo. Dave H roller lifters sound very nice and quiet despite many claims that its damn near impossible to get a quiet sounding roller lifter. Got my second set of Live Wires spark plug wires today....not impressed but the lack of yellow wires in the market is not very good. They sleeve the wire with a sleeve, which promotes dust, dirt and I cannot imagine keeping them for too long. The first set ended up having the sleeves come out from the heat shrink, actually all of them did. again, not impressed. Probably take the plunge and make some custom accel wires. Now all I need to do is have Bob figure out why I am getting a code 18 from the TR6 and I'll be ready to take it for a drive.
