It runs!

Well, as the title says, it runs! I managed to fire up the R1 5VY engine today which has really pleased me as I'm supposed to be competing in a fortnight! The change from 5JJ to 5VY has been complicted, with new loom, mounts, cooling, exhaust etc., and an upgrade to the ECU plus a move to CAN bus

It sounds a bit rough, although I have no silencer on so it was hard to tell! I haven't had a chance to set it all up properly and check things like fuel pressure etc..

So, back to the garage to get it sorted!

smart51 - having it running right and then driving the ar*e off it will be nice!

My temperature sensor isn't working for some reason! It's been fine since wiring it in - Emerald is now defaulting to 80 degree C.

I've also got the injection setup wrong I think - grouped not sequential. I'll check tomorrow.
