Despite the assist from the small inline fuel pump and me pulling the throttle linkage to the max, the injectors needed some cranking before it fired up.
Wow it runs so well! Keeps idle, runs and sounds clean, idles perfectly. Feels and sounds so peppy.
It definitely needed a huge cleanup, injection pump timing (currently set to 0.94), all gaskets, glowplugs and on and on..
The video sucks but here`s a link. I haven`t run it for more than a minute. There was a short gentle revving at the end but the recording cuts off before it... ugh... bc my phone storage got full thanks to the long d24t project.
RUNS AWESOME! and I shut it off at the pump lever and restarted it 2-3 times,
just for few seconds to know that it turns on like a dream and runs like a swiss watch.
The phone`s recorder is
crap, it picked up all kind of noises and garage echo but I`ll take a new video another day.
So that`s the good news... A d24t car almost made it to the *crusher* and I`m so glad it did not.
Tons of work it involved, I don`t even know how many hours. Let`s not even guess. It was two weeks ago when I bought the donor car.
