bet it feels great to hear it going.

Hoping to get my running this week, no hybrid to contend with though so hopefully should go first time (hopefully, fingers crossed etc etc etc)

You have the Jolt to contend with...

Not wired that in yet.

Going for it with just the edis for the time being.

If it starts and runs i'll be a happy chappy:D

Mine fired up instantly on the first try with just the edis and spat plenty of flames out of the exhaust ports :D

Then wiring the megajolt in is easy after you know the edis is working

Hoping mine will start first time, can't see why not.

I'll have to have a session reading up on the jolt before i tackle that. I've got a cvh map, just need to get it on the jolt???? Worry about that later.:D

Another well done from me Geeman :cool:

I love the way you appear to leg it away from the exhaust smoke in the vid :D :D

Some good progress being made there :)

geeman 8th May 2010 10:06 PM

it was the first start with the fuel from the tank and without the vapour separator. The engine seems to start better without the fuel vapour operator, although, there is still alot of smoke. The alu floor is covered in black soot from the exhaust!!

I also seem to have tempered the alu floor as its turned slightly blue now from the heat
