Its Alive!!!

I finally got all the parts I needed and got that damn engine running.

Had a weird problem though, the injectors were not firing due to the computer not grounding them. So I figure I need a computer, all the power circuits were good and all the gound ones too, I had spark, and all other signals tested good. So on a whim, I grounded the case of the ecu, and bam, it fired up instantly! I then took off the ground and it still runs great. I have no idea why or how, but who cares.

Its pretty loud with 4' of 3" exhaust. I'm going to try and get some pics up soon.
