boxsters are great little things; clarkson doesn't know what he's talking about..

Good progress this weekend, mostly EFI wiring and Fuel system plumbing

The Megasquirt is mounted, the wiring tapped into the car's electrical system, and wired out into the engine bay.
The fuel system is mostly connected too. The engine bay part is complete, just need to connect the CIS fuel pump to the old fuel tank. To do this I had to make the tank outlet a little bigger, from 1/4" to about 1/2" !!
Done ...

Now to fit it, test the fuel pressure system, fill the car with oil and I'm about ready to try to start it !!

I'll let you all know .
Cheers
Tim

I've been waiting a while for this bit!!!

Hopefully the combination of our efforts on that EFI system (OK mainly yours!) will finally run

Almost there. This was the scene on Sunday morning: Tim with laptop plugged in to Megasquirt, dials on the laptop screen bouncing around. Looks impressive and the engine turns over from the ignition. And yes, Tim was making brumm brumm noises!!!
