First start-up!

 

It cranked right up with no hesitation! First turn of the key. Throttle response is fantastic.

Yes, it is a little raw but it will of course change as the project moves ahead. The most obvious one is that the 3” cat and exhaust are not yet installed so it's wide open. Also, the tank is pretty much empty with a cavitating fuel pump causing the injectors to spit part fuel, part gas. In addition, whatever little gas is in there is close to 9 months old. Once all is said and done Ed tells me that it will have a very nice sound that is unique to tuned VR6s.

The MS-3 Pro is really cool. Before start-up Ed was able to easily confirm that it was communicating properly with all sensors; then he loaded the base map from a prior project as a starting point. Technology has come a long way....
