This week we put together the oil system. A custom adapter plate to the engine to some AN lines to a remote oil filter. It ended up in the wheel well as it's tight inside the engine compartment. I think that it won't get in the way of the front wheel. If it does it can be moved.
Also found that the oil dipstick wasn't in an ideal location now. Changing how the coolant pipes run made it in a less desirable location. So bent that up and welded on a new holding bracket. Also cobbled up some temporary set up for the fuel pump and piping to the engine.
Then it was a new set of spark plugs and connect up all the electrical fittings. Friday night it was all together but it wouldn't start. Was giving a bunch of errors codes for stuff on the motor. Time to call it a night.
Saturday morning we went out and pulled a spark plug. The plug was wet, so we were getting gas. Checked and no spark. Humm. More looking and there was no power getting to the coils at all. No power to the coils and the other errors were probably all from the same issue. After looking at some wiring information It had to be the power source to the coils (and other stuff ) wasn't working but how was the power run to the coils. Long story short the connector that brought in coil power and a few other wires that didn't go to or through the ECU had the wrong thing plugged into it. Simple fix and voilà it started the next try.
Here is a very short video of it starting and running:
