First start
by Matt on March 02, 2010
Tonight I finished hooking up the essential wiring to the motor, filled it with oil, pulled the fuel pump fuse and cranked it for 5 seconds 4-5 times. The battery almost died, so I hooked up a charger. Then, the car wouldn’t start because I forgot to tighten down the fuel line and fuel was leaking. After tightening the fuel line the motor fired right up and run as expected. No leaks or turbo smoke.
One hitch: The ARD/Vast bi-pipes don’t fit. The inlet radius (intercooler side) is too tight and points upwards. Shot an email to Prince @ Vast about it.
