172 cup, Impreza P1
i tried this with mine but it wouldn't lift any oil from the sump. Mine was a full engine strip so the block had no oil in it, just assembly lube so this may be different.
If its a new pump then backfilling it helps as it can struggle to draw oil up when its only got air in it, this isnt an engine rebuild though, it was previously running so the pump should work just fine like it would on any car that has been standing a while.

Deff over fueling, 225 injectors are massive, we made that mistake, fuel everywhere.

So today i was expecting to drop the car off first thing at the garage who are fitting the ecu, loom and mapping the car.. finished working on it around 3 am this morning and back up at half 7 to go fetch all my oils a nice 40 minute walk each way (need 2 cars)...
loaded all the oils and fluids up needed to refit one side of my bumper as it wasnt having any of it and just wouldnt stay on.. nothing a tie wrap or 2 wouldnt sort though
ive had to butcher the hell out of the bumper and tbh i think im going to get a smaller intercooler and buy another bumper as i was that stressed and tired i was just chopping the hell out of it.
finally got over the nerves and decided to try and fire her up, she was going and could tell she wanted start to just wouldnt go anyway searched around for an hour or so for wires unclipped ect ect nothing i was so pissed off and by this time id lost half a day anyway come back in the house and settled down for half hour. gave it another go sat in the car and dabbed the accelerator.. it fired up!! never been so pleased about anything lol.. was running like a bag of s**t though which turned out to be the meg injectors swapped back and it was spot on abit lumpy but driveable.. kicked alot of white smoke out the exhaust for about first few minuted and abit in engine guessing it was burning all crap off wd40 ect..
by the time id done it was 4 so the garage wasnt going to start it up went and showed him it all he was rather happy with the job which please me so its going to be started friday or monday once i get the omex 600 plug connecter i need for him to crack on making the loom then mapping time and see what the hopefully good outcome is
The filter was just temporary as i didnt have a right size bit of pipe to get the k&n on and ill be getting some mesh for the intercooler
going to tidying stuff up and changing bits with the setup but main thing is its up and running.. steady away to say im a joiner and never even changed a set of pads before

You sir have far to much time on your hands well done for doing such a lot in a small amount of time, looks great now it's done and personally I'd bin the mesh idea looks good as is.
