Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

We tried to turn over the old Formula Student 600RR engine today for an Auto Design project, but nothing doing.. throttle and carb problems I think. Didn't think it was a good sign, but it would appear all is well with the Jord! Nice one pal. :)

That's fine mate, just run it around for a while and the hydraulic rocker supports will fill up and it'll tap less. It's just that the head has been standing for so long.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project

As said....got something working today, it is indeed OBD II and the RSTuner unit....

Ignore the dirty Mac screen, the heatshield rattle, and the absolute mess of wiring...lol

All my wiring is now in the scuttle panel, and comes through above the pedal box...more on this soon, as its 99% mess at the moment!
