My T2 build

Ok well I got the last few things on.. checked my fluids etc and of course nothing can go off perfectly..

We pulled the fuel pump fuse cranked the engine to build oil pressure and 3 seconds into it the upper fuel rail sprung a leak... found out the banjo bolt was loose..

so we realised there was a leak and that we had the wrong fuse pulled... so we cleaned the engine off with water and tried again this time on purpose with the pump on to see if any other leaks happen

What do u know crank a few seconds and bam the lower rail leaks..

I tighten that bolt and pull both the fuses and crank till oil pressure comes up.. once that works we put the fuses in and crank 2 it took like 2 seconds and the car started and ran just fine...

we had it die because the throttle adjustment was not set right...

we turn the adjuster screw in so it will idle on its own and it fires right back up...

I let it run for about 45 minutes or so and it just smoked and smoked and smoked...

it still smokes if I start it.. Not sure how long it will smoke for but I know with the crisco, gear lube and engine oil used during the engine build process I figured it would smoke for a while..

after a while I turned the ca and found the low oil level light was on.. so I check the oil and it is fine... a little later it hit me.. I may have grabbed the n/a dipstick instead of the turbo dipstick... sure did so after adding another 2 liters it is just under full

The next thing I noticed was I had lots of bubbling in the cooling system so after that cooled down I pulled the bleed valve on the side of the radiator neck (again) and refilled the cooling system.. this time I am confident that it could be all done up..

now the biggest problem.. the batter wont hold a charge and it really is to big now with the ic pipes run ..

tomorrow I will get another battery, get it started back up and let it run for a while longer..

hopefully the smoke will go away...

Anyways I got 2 short videos.. NO SOUND SORRY.. but u can see the horrific amount of smoke...

as for the smoke shooting from the turbo in the engine bay well the downpipe was only held on by one nut, and I did not have a gasket on it because i only had one nut holding it on.. so one that is all tightned down I should be all set there..
