Wired up the reverse lights and alternator this weekend.
Also fixed some issues I was having with my fuel system.
Cleaned up a the engine wiring.

I haven't updated this in a while but I bought a megasquirt 3 to run sequential ignition and fuel and have been spending a lot of time rewiring everything up.

Today in particular was pretty awesome. Andrew and I got it to start up for the first time.

That is so awesome.  I was hoping to be able to get up there, but charity wwas helping a friend prepare for their baby shower.  This friday, i should be able to swing by your place in the evening if your going to be home, otherwise it will have to be sat.

Thanks, just let me know when you are planning on coming over, I'll try to keep it running until then, being a rotary and all.

Pulled the UIM off and tapped a hole for the brake booster since the Cosmo used an electric brake booster and did not have a suitable vacuum source.  Also tapped a hole for my boost-a-pump boost sensor and put that in. I took the compressor housing off the turbo and tapped that for the wastegate boost source. Then I put everything back together and started it up for Groll69 and the KrazyKreiner.

Meanwhile, awfc3s was working on smoothing out the hood to get it ready for paint.

Earlier I ordered the parts for the wastgate dump tube and a few other parts.

It was a pretty successful day.

thanks for starting it up.  That 20b sounds awesome.  I enjoyed turning a wrench or two for what little i was able to help you with it.

[ITSWILL]

thanks for the hand putting on the compressor housing!

Awesome, it's alive!  I'm guessing you're using the whole MS3 expansion board to make use of the extra I/O too?

Yeah I have a few ideas in my head for auxillary injection and a few other possibilities.

Im still waiting on the parts for the wastgate dump pipe but other than that ang a good cleaning the engine bay is done for now.

This weekend I decided to modify the stock 2 thermostat housing to accept a filler neck and radiator cap.  I used a 20lb cap and blocked the overflow hole as the radiator has a cap that is routed to an overflow already.

Also, Im not sure  but I think Andrew is very close to getting the hood ready for paint. I want to say thanks for his hard work!
