Worked it out. it was the power wire, it had fallen off.

 

now for and exhaust

awesome work looks like you got a kick of motivation when things work right!! good stuff look forward to seeing it make boost

Ok, all these 4K-t's I'm seeing lately are making me wanna turbo the 18.

 

Good stuff getting it going, so irritating when its something so basic aye

thanks guys and all that helped me get this far.

 

Yes it's little things kill the mood!

 

Money puts a stop to it.

Lol ah the lack of exhaust brings back memories!

Just caught up with this project, like all of them it seems late and over budget! ;) My first build took three years, from when I was 15 to 18, no wonder I did so badly at school and so good at mechanics!

 

Still, it must be great to hear it running. If you want a wiring diagram PM me.

 

The option to your oil pressure cutout for the fuel pump would be a relay from the alty via the ignitiopn light, so it trips the relay when the red light comes on. The pump doesn't wotk unless the alty is putting out power.

 

Either way, you should add an over-ride from the 'start' position of the key, the starter solenoid activcation wire, so when you crank you power the pump.

thanks for the info on the fuel pump cut off. will have to do that. Bring on the new year and some spare time!

Sounds mad.

Been out playing with the car today. I have gotten it to a point where I can drive it. How ever it coughs and misses every with any thing more then light throttle. It also does not want to do more then 3000rpm. Any ideas on cause? Timing maybe?

 

It is cooling down atm as I found the oil return on the turbo is leaking.

Have a read through this, pretty recent thread. Dunno how similar your setups are.

Yeah, cheers mate I have read that. I was reminded of timing so I checked that. It made power and boost all the way to valve bounce (oops!). The only problem I had then was the car would not idle below 2000rpm.

 

I decided to take the secondary jet out of the primary port and replace it with the primary jet. Stuffed the gasket pulling the top off. Now to wait till tomorrow to get a carby kit.

The reason it may not idle under 2 would be because you revved it so high. I found when I was running points that if I revved it past 6700 the points couldn't keep up. And had to reset them

I have replace point with electronic

I have decided to use a Weber 32/36. I just wanted to know what jet sizing would be best. If any one has done this before and could share there jetting that would be awesome
