Its like everything i do with this engine conversion is a struggle, i feel like the car is fighting me.
Having a sook to some friends of mine recently i was describing my frustrations with the whole process and that ive never encountered something i couldnt do with no time limit.
This is really starting to kill me!
However, there has been some progress with the help of my friends ive managed to rig up a setup to correctly set ignition base timing.
Although when we tried to fire the motor it still wouldnt run!
The picture below shows why, fouled the hell out of the spark plugs!
Theres always tomorrow 🙂

So as some of you may or may not know Ive been trying to get this p.o.s ECU tuned for my AE86.
Timmy and i have been doing a night course at Tafe which teaches you how to dyno tune cars, so last week i finally had a chance to drag the Trueno out of the shed and get it down there for someone with a good idea of what theyre doing have a look at it.
Patiently waiting in the service area for it turn on the dyno.
Tragically the car has sitting so long i had to run crappy offset MA61 rims on the rear as the regular Volks had gone flat.
The Guru himself on the left (Jamie) giving ,e the low down on what i need to do.
Initially it was thought that we thought that the cam timing was off.
Turns out the Crank Trigger BTDC is incorrect, once we sort that it should be apples!
