Day 174 - Finishing touches

This is actually three days rolled into one. My Aeon is currently at the Blaze workshop, where I'm putting bits on it after the paint shop, and John's also doing a bit of work.

Here's a couple of pictures of what it looks like without much light reflecting on it:

However, when the light hits it in just the right angle, it turns blue:

John was able to get the engine going - it turned out that the engine wiring loom (which I didn't do) had a mistake in that two of the coil pack trigger wires had been swapped over, resulting in it trying to run on 2 cylinders. However, it was still a bit rich.

We then took it to be mapped.

During this time, we sorted out a few plumbing mistakes, and also had a couple of turbo pipes blow off (a bit of hammering and filing by John - and replacing some of the clips [which I've decided are very bad] - sorted it out). It needed to be mapped without a turbo, so we rigged something up:

Note the spark-plug being used to block the pipe!

After making sure the engine was running okay, a power run was done.

Well - it's more powerful than I thought it would be. I was hoping for about 220bhp; would've been happy with 200. 225.5! (Sorry about the picture - it wasn't easy to take)

And here's the graph:

Very linear response up to about 5250, then it levels off. Torque is pretty good too - it'll be very driveable (and quick).
