engine and drivetrain M20 stroker started!! ..and then the bad news (vid)

[-=Charley]

well, after getting no rpm signal to the megasquirt box and finally finding the problem, i was able to get a decent enough tune to get the damn thing to idle for a couple minutes. i drained the oil to find a milky red mess (from the redline water wetter i assume). either way, im taking it out tommorow for a cruise around the block. it's been a year and a half and i dont care if the whole damn car burns down as long as i get a trip around the block

heres the first successful idling:

i suck at engine building. f*****************CK!

you've got to do a write up on that engine/and setup.

PLEASE get someone to video the drive. that is gonna be a monster!

I know what you mean. When I first bought my car, it had a bad headgasket and smoked like hell but I still drove it around the block for some satisfaction.

Good luck with your engine.
