It's ALIVE!!!!!!!

It did not start on the first try thanks to 2 dirt injectors (we forgot to send them for a good clean :lmao: ) but it did start in TWO injectors

Lucky me at the eletrician had some GM V6 Injectors (dont know from wich engine) wich fitted like a factory items!!! then the engine started on the FIRST try!!!! Since they're 6 on monday in taking one for a flow test to see the flow rate... if they're bigger than the creams... im keeping them.

Brummm Brummm, brapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrap... it was loud as hel 'cos the only exhaust that has is the stock exhaust manifold :lmao:

I drove it for 1 km to take it to my mechanic's house... tomorrow (sunday) im going to a exhaust shop to weld the exhaust again... then im going back to my mechanic and tune the ecu with a wideband via the laptop.

Tomorrow is gonna good day definatly
