shrike Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 @Romanso injectors, new rad hose and you can get it fired up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Yep just about! Need to fill gearbox with oil, bolt exhaust manifolds on, replace injectors, make sure the fuel pump still works. Then coolant is optional for first start, haha. But it's damn close. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Aahhh so these injectors might be okay, at least for starters. I left them all to soak in CRC overnight, then made a up a lead to tap them on/off straight onto a 12v battery, and they all clicked. So then I setup the injector test mode in the ECU to run them through 10,000 cycles while they were full up with CRC. Then tested all 6 outputs on my loom and they're all working. So they might have just been ever so slightly stuck. They still might be partially blocked or whatever, but I'll flow test them first to make sure they are balanced and that the spray pattern looks okay. If I can avoid a $500-600 bill for new injectors, that's money this month for stuff like the exhaust which is much better! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably could have done that a week ago. Except for that I've been in the South Island for work, and we found a second hand garage for removal that is a significant upgrade over the tiny one I've currently got. (New one 9x6m 2.4 stud height) So have had zero free time for car stuff. I'm picking up the last of it tomorrow, then hoping to do some carina stuff in the afternoon. I want that start up damnit! 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New garage looks the goods will be nice to have some new space I'm sure, not quite tall enough for a clear floor yeah? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 2.4m stud height, definitely not tall enough to be useful for a hoist. But not worried about that. One thing I've learned is that no matter how fancy and comfortable your garage is. Whenever you go to an event you still end up lying down on the ground trying to look for your 10mm spanner or something. Haha. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roman Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 It's taken longer than I hoped to get to this point, but damn it sure felt good to hear it fire up. Even though all it can do at the moment is idle (poorly) at 2000+ rpm haha. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
