classic! you just summed up my life!

IAC motor line and MAP line both run, cooler pipes refitted, filled with oil and water, primed, got oil pressure, stopped a water leak (tiny) and all ready to fire it up just as soon as the laptop makes it to the shop.

Woohoo!

Shot prior to running MAP and IAC lines showing the engine bay nearly done and a shot of the oil feed and pump/belt assembly.

about time, they say Rome wasnt built in a day but this was ridiculous...

Shit mechanics...

Is it running yet?

[2rismo]

Is it running yet?

That's a negative, Charlie. Making a timing pointer today and throwing some settings in the Autronic then it's fire-up. This afternoon if everything goes to plan and Stuart stays at the shop after 5pm for me.

this is such a tease, none of the picture's work for me

[Slide]

All systems are go and we have lift off, or should i say take off, launch maybe.

I just heard the engine run.

[BezerkR32]

yes, its alive, and has had its maiden voyage around the block. all looks really good, no major leaks, cooling system bled, cams run in, fans cycling in and out, base timing set, fuel pressure set, needs a good cleaning up of the tune as it is fat but good enough to move around.

Just got back from the workshop and I haven't stopped grinning like some sort of deranged psycho! Stuie and the boys at Bezerkly put in the big yards to get this finished and I can't thank them enough (although I reckon the cold ones helped )

The interest shown in this project has surprised me but I reckon it's because so many Skyline owners have 25's under the bonnet and want to see what can be achieved with a relatively small turbo/cams/basic setup. And despite the fancy oil pumps and stuff that are only there to keep it together when it's having it's arse spanked, there's not too much in the way of exotic parts being used here. Just a solid engine build and some switched on people.

Uploading some phone-quality video now but to be honest, it's a bit rubbish. It certainly sounds different than the last time I heard it run although the microphone on the phone doesn't do it justice.
