Soo good to hear this engine running. We are all been waiting wor this, so much good work put into the project. We are waitink to get lats bits and pieces done so you can show us how it drives. Very impressive, the best video I've watched today. Thanks
The best exhaust gaskets are embossed "spring" steel that compress under bolt tension. The large surface area of your copper probably made it ineffective, however if both sides flat and not flexing it should be okay.
Excellent job on the oil drain, if it doesn't fatigue and crack from vibration and load then it'll also act as a turbo brace, which is good if you don't have too much expansion and contraction
Love the practical approach to everything on this build. I've used copper sheet annealed before on an old rx7 ht18s turbo after removing the rear housings standard plate for a bigger down pipe, it worked mint, held up for years. looking forward to the new engine build and seeing this make some power.
Hey Sean, top work on the progress mate, dunno what you doing for Idle control, there are a few options, one crack the throttles open and setup a Ign table that retards the timing as it gets upto temp to bring the idle back down, or another good option is BMW bosch 2 wire items are cheap and work a treat!!! And lastly the timing light thing, a little trick we used to do was pull the spark plug lead off the spark plug a little so it jumps to the spark plug, it gives a better inductive spike thru the HT lead, and ya timing light should pick it up then
Hey Sean I had the same issue trying to hook my timing light around an old spark plug lead. Ended up just putting it around the trigger wire for the coil itself (pre-coil) and got a successful flash. I remember seeing a dyno shop try that when they couldn't get RPM signal on someone's COP car, and turns out it worked for me too.
Awesome setup! You should get those throttle bodies vapour blasted so they really pop in the engine bay, the corrosion on them is kinda letting the team down haha.
Yeh mate, that's the plan. Will do the entire intake right to the head when I put it back onto the motor it'll end up running. Should look real good then
I know so much more about cars thanks to all of your videos Sean haha love you bro keep up the awesome work. Maybe catch up in February for a beer give me a tour haha chuur bro!!! 💪😜🤙
Timing light won't work on coil trigger wire, you'll need to shove an ignition lead between the coil and spark plug and clamp the timing light pickup over that.
Hey mate awesome vids there killa I’m having a bit of trouble trying to use red top small port dizzy for crank an cam signal do u know which wire goes where

Appreciate that mate! I can rip a good skid when i'm behind the wheel.

Yip for sure. If these don’t work I’ll be buying proper Subaru ones that probably cost 1/10 if you factor in the time to make these 😂
Pretty rewarding feeling seeing it fire up and run for the first time especially after all the work you’ve put in
Well done!!
Just that pesky whining to deal with!
Excellent job on the oil drain, if it doesn't fatigue and crack from vibration and load then it'll also act as a turbo brace, which is good if you don't have too much expansion and contraction
Factory hard lines like that usually have a bellows in them, though
Cheers, I think we are the same page with that. Will be interesting to see how it all lasts either way it goes
Love the hardline setup too...gives it a really clean almost factory type look
I'm real happy how it turned out, the look I was after for sure
In awe at the craftsmanship, inspirational 💯
Mate, hats off to you, awesome mahi, love your work 💯
Cheers mate!
Marc rebillet for the win. Always a good soundtrack on your videos man.
Appreciate that bro! It's good to have a listen to a whole range of varied stuff I reckon, keeps ya brain ticking over haha
Waiting time over, TG.

there's a different kind of satisfaction when you've built it all yourself right? Save a few pennies and i'll start buying some bits
Awesome effort bro, just remembered when you made those steel guards too 👌🏼
'just pulling it apart for a quick spruce up!'
awesome work as always
Thanks man!

that trick for the timing light worked a treat bro! going to run a 2 wire IC motor for sure
Awesome mate I’ve been waiting for another one 👍
Cheers Mate, cool to see people keeping up with the videos
class update as usual !!!

I tried both techniques after the old spark plug lead trick didn't work, but still nothing. Crusty old spark plugs likely aren't helping either

Mint! Love the look of vapourblast, its so much easier to maintain too, stuff just cleans straight off.

💪😜🤙
Thanks bro! Hit me up when your next around

That's exactly what I did
@@senojnaes so you did sorry, missed that bit.
Hey mate awesome vids there killa I’m having a bit of trouble trying to use red top small port dizzy for crank an cam signal do u know which wire goes where
Nice work 👍
Where is the 626 ? 😁
Just sitting there, I have plans to get back into it at some stage
Once again kiwi enginuity at it's best
What could bracket and coils are you using?
Hey mate are you doing anymore vids on the starlet?
I will be for sure. Most likely will have A new video out in the next couple of weeks
