Nicely done.

Are you using much of a priming pulse at the moment? I remember that I had to press the accelerator to help it catch.
It sounds rich when running so maybe you need to increase your cranking PWs the base VE will probably clean up the afterstart enrichment.

I still think that twin TBi would be interesting, my old 1380 worked lovely on twin 1 3/4" SUs.

Hi,
Thanks Rob. It's a bit rich, time to try out my tuning skills  :o
That's running the Elise setup with just changes to Req fuel, ign and inj configs
I checked the sparks were right before I did the fuel, swapped coil pack wires over and the timing marks lined up spot on!
I couldn't believe my ears when it fired a few times when I cranked it over. It needs a bit of throttle to get it going and keep it running as I've got no idle air bypass fitted yet ::)
Couple more videos....
