Get cracking heaps of room in that garage

Keep going.

You'll find that you think you're not doing much and then things will start to fall in place

Good work

Looking good, those wheels look great. Where did you get the rabbit inserts from?
Cheers

the VW inserts, are Monroe's that I got from the local shock shop

Long overdue update.

Got the Fuel feed system all finished, manifold all welded up.
Megasquirt installed, and wired up, with relays & fuses etc.
Vacuum manifold all plumbed in etc. hooked up basic inputs like
TPS, VR Sensor & injectors etc (O2, temp, and ECU driven spark
will come on line down the track) have done fuel flow tests etc.
Fired it up at weekend, but couldnt get it to run at all.
Played round with some fuel setting before corrupting all my
firmware code I think. so ended up spending a few hours
reflashing the ECU code, and uploading new tuner studio
software and the likes. got it all communicating again, and
it fired up again, before I flattened the battery.

I charged up the battery overnight, and tonight I hooked up
temp exhaust system tonight and got it semi running
(have a few more issues to work through, before i even
attempt to tune)

Start up video below, for those interested.

Want to get it running a bit better, before I
pull the motor and running gear out to get the
engine bay painted.

After a few teething problems last week, I have managed to get it running today.
So stoked for it to finally make some music!

My EFI / ITB dream, has taken a huge amount of time & $ to bring to reality.

From seeing a V8 Lexus motor on youtube about 5 years ago, I decided to go
EFI / ITB A series on my coupe. At times I was over it, and was ready to throw it away, but I am glad I have stuck with it. I am pretty proud to finally get it running....

Be interesting to see what sort of HP it is putting out, once it is all tuned and sorted.

It is running in a base tune only, which is very rich. And my default ignition maps will need some work (running wasted spark setup, with coils driven by onboard drivers in the megasquirt ECU)

Here is a youtube link of it making some noise this afternoon:
