However even with the ecu loom totally removed I am gettin the ECU fuse pop! My alarm fuse also blows. so I don't think the problem is with the ECU side of things, I actually think it is with the under dash wiring as this headlight fault was there to start with but the ECU fuse was ok, now the ECU fuse keeps popping even though I haven't touched anything at that end. The fuse on the alarm is 15A. So myabe getting closer? Its very anoyying as the car is ready to start! left turn signal on but does not flash Soon as key is turned ECU IG, Alarm fuse and Turn fuse pop Turn light stays on Full beam lights work Retracting light relay box thingy humms a little? EFI fuse has blown once only when fiddling Tried a larger fuse in ECU IG as a trial and it blew straight away Cup of tea cake and a few tears 
- Can you disconnect the Alarm and see if you still get fuses blowing? The online BGB does have the outline wiring diagrams for the car - I'd trace back from the fuses that blow and look for a common source. Not an easy job, but once sorted will be really good to see your car running Now have a very cool tracker fitted which texts me and all sorts of stuff, integrated into my Cat1. Even Mr Forster was impressed and hes a right grumpy bu88er normally! 
Looking forward to the fire up now although a little nervous. I will get this little lot finished this weekend and a summary written. 
...good work Jim and get her fired up 
Great guy no matter what anyone says, apparently has avery smelly living room once a year in July! I think this is to compensate for the lack of cold start injector. I am actually suprised how well it runs on stock management and injectors, seems fine for now, and will do nicely for running in. On idel its no louder than it was porior to the rebuild, the engine sounds like a stock engine so i'm well chuffed, no lumpyness, no uneven idle, smooth quiet, no piston slap at all. The only noticeable difference is hearing the turbo still spinning after the engine is shut down...........Inner Drvice shaft joints! The only trouble is I can't get the cage and balls back into the outer race. No matter what I try they will not fit. 
got a quick question for you... how did you overcome the problem of the throttle cable length when geting it to reach your new TB location?? Its far from ideal but I am making a custom pulley arrangment to go on soon. I'll let you know when its finished and post up pics. Car is back off the road again as it has an oil leak. Thats getting rectified prior to running in. 
That engine is a piece of art! 
Did you fabricate the exhaust yourself???!! Fancy doing another??! 
The wastegate sounds a bit mental! running 0.5bar actuator and it lifts so quickly on part throttle. AVCR shows a perfect 0.5bar when switched off. hmm, wonder if the rev3 cable is shorter than the rev 1/2? mine will only reach just past the suspension strut! Will let you know how I get on.RyanRs wrote:sweet mate, sounds good
n/a is the longest cable thats what I was told.
It's been a lot of work but what a car you created. Still getting my engine out at the moment then maybe one day i'll be able to pop over for a drive with you.
