Ian Gratton Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 After quite a few niggles, spending ages looking for an engine and many self inflicted wounds , on saturday afternoon, after a "little" help, we got the XTR2 started. First time Couldn't run it for more than a couple of seconds though as the MAP sensor is missing and we don't wanna temp fate, but it's looking good. All the wiring bar the indicators is finished and after we've got the MAP sensor and throttle cable in, it'll be totally driveable. We've got quite a few small jobs to do, but, fingers crossed, it'll be finished in 3 weeks Temptation to rush is hard.......... Build diary will be updated shortly again - will try and get a wav file on it for people who are as sad as us Craig (using Ians pc ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBirchZEI220 Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Congratulations. Keep the website updates coming. I'll get down to the factory to order mine in a couple of weeks. Regards David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Gratton Posted August 13, 2002 Author Share Posted August 13, 2002 Well Done Craig....for using my PC Yep...it sure is pretty lumpy at the moment - judging by the exhaust its over fueling like b*******y right now. Once the MAP sensor is on it should be able to idle on saturday - which it needs - the exhaust wrap on the manifold is soaking wet - I'm sure the SVA people won't like that So - from the end of april til now - A car is very very nearly born !!! Amazing Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted August 13, 2002 Share Posted August 13, 2002 Ian/Craig, Well done boys, but I wouldn't be running that engine in that state for too long - if nothing else you'll kill the cat. Look forward, in a tragically sad way, to hearing your engine though Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
