After eight months of highs and lows today was the day i fired up my

widebody.

Firstly i wasnt showing any oil pressure,so off came the sump again,
i had put the baffle on first.







this caused the engine to suck air instead of oil,so sorted that,
luckily i hadnt started the engine.


Refilled with oil and a new Hks oil filter,pressure now showing 50 to 55 psi
at 2000 revs, im not sure whether this is good or bad though,



Secondly the car is overfuelling like mad,
540cc injectors,standard rail,tomei fpr,
quite smokey,but i was only running it with the downpipe and no exhaust,
not sure whether that would affect fueling though.


Still have adjustments to make on the fpr i think.

And i'll fit the exhaust tomorrow.


Thirdly,
Aftermaket boost gauge was running in reverse,
showing negative progressivly as the revs climbed,
ive plumbed it in incorrectly and will have to re do it.


Fourthly,
the car starts fist time almost instantly,but, without a little throttle applied will die allmost as quick,



All the electrics are good after fitting turbo looms



I havent fitted the power fc yet and have the rev 3 turbo ecu installed
as i thought this would make it easier to rectify faults.

linking E1 and Te1 on the diag port shows a continuously flashing amber light and no fault codes.


Ait sensor isnt in its final location yet(into Arc airbox)but is loose hanging
would this affect fueling?
Map sensor is rev 3
mat sensor is an aftermarket one,cant think of the name of it at the moment,but i believe jim gts fitted one of these some time ago,

Having said all that it was great to hear it fire after months of messing with it weekends and most nights.


If anyone has any thoughts on the above problems shout them out as two heads are better than one even if their only sheeps


thanks
