    Very nice, it's always a joy to make something yourself, just the way you want it and for it to work. Good job :thumbup:

    My first ever go at TIG alloy welding (and it shows) on cylinders 1 and 3. Second go was the other 2. "by George he's got it"
    if I was to blow my own trumpet. LOL
    Anyway, have gained 115mm straight inlet tract length, before the SORG 90 degree trumpets.
    Hoping that's enough for the mass of air to get itself sorted before being rebounded by the very short Jenveys.
    Main target was to get the airbox away from the exhaust, with enough volume to do half a job
    Ongoing, as they say

    TIG hot tip: read the manual and watch the youtubes before attempting your first job...

    I think I'd prefer to have the access to welding alooominum to steel,

    Injectors could do with aiming more down the port at some point Jon...look to be pointing down at the floor of the port, but could be the angle of the pic.

    The angle looks pretty good to me, standard short Jenvey angle. Way better than normal length Jenvey angle, they fire
    into the middle of the port.
    Tried to get it to run last night, but no fuel coming out of the injectors, so far.
    Got a crank signal, TPS, AIT, WT, 12v to the injectors.
    Fuel pressure good.
    Good wasted spark, think 36-1 is indexed correctly.
    Got a few promising pops on easy start
    Scope seems to show other side of injector pulling down. ??? (as you'd expect (crappy ancient thing that it is)
    But no fuel out of the injector.
    Map4000 scope shows the injector being pulsed
    Home made noid light not lighting, mustn't be getting any amps to the solenoid, presumably.
    Wiring check again today.
    Omex 600: I presume all units have the same pinout....................surely.........
    Comments welcomed
    LOL

    where have you got the injector power from? checked it for good 12v while cranking? (between live pin on injector and battery earth)
