You didn't fail!

 

You learned heaps. Amused and filled us with wonder! And seemingly had a hell of a lot of fun along the way.

 

Do a Juddy, go away and think about it for a while with a return to standard EFI, then amaze us some more with No.3.

Well said Pete! Always great fun following your antics Luke. Can't wait to see what's next!

20V stock bottom end with your 16V head and carbs.

 

With the exception of it being a 3 rib block, that's what I had. Wouldn't mind it again though, the mid-range rpm has much more go.

 

Arrgh! That's no good!

 

What do you reckon? Warped head?

 

I hope not, spent a noticeable amount having it completely rebuilt for this engine. I suspect a fault in the block.

It has been fun, thankyou to you all for coming along for the ride. :)

The quads will return.

 

Here we go again.

 

 

Deja vu.

 

Fuel tank out.

 

 

Wiring loom out.

 

 

While the front wheel-arch plastics were off, decided to see how much crud had accumulated behind the guard.

 

 

Now to repeat the process.

 

That was pretty quick!

The nearest bus stop to my house is a 45min walk away, then 15min to the train station, then a 45min ride, swap trains, another 10min ride then a 10min walk just to get to work provides a helluva lot of motivation. ;)

Oldie but a goodie

 

That was pretty quick!

 

Well, Luke has had a lot of practice...... :P

EFI has waaayyy too much $h1t to disconnect, just sayin'.

 

Three hours of work later.

Do it a few times, then remove all the Shit you don't need and it gets pretty quick.

It could be a lot worse I guess, it doesn't have A/C or P/S so there's less hoses/wires to deal with. The loom needs a good clean up & re-taping in some places. I tapped into it for power/MAP sensor signal etc at a few points & my electrical work from 7 years ago leaves a lot to be desired.

I know it's painful and delaying, but might be a good idea to source a virgin loom and save your modified one for the resurrection?

No need to source one thankfully, the SOHC-carburetor wiring loom that BT came with was modified for the quad-setup. I have since removed it & storing it away for later. Am removing the DOHC-EFI loom from the white TC (EFI & Carby looms are quite different) to install into BT, I also have the EFI loom from the project car if need be. :)
