Wiring time!
The engine loom and car loom now works together. ECU lights up, pumps work, and start button crank the engine over.
Need to figure out right tach settings, as the DTA test software did not want to test sweep the AutoMeter Sport-Comp tach (no problem before with a knock-off tack (Autometer)).
Still need to wire in a kill switch at the rear and a few smaller auxilaries, but I'm ready to crank for oil pressure next time in the garage

Thanks! Can't wait to hear it my self..
I'm not particulary fond of wiring, but it now works. But now I want to rip off all the loom sleeving and do it all over
Might actually do that after everything is done

Oil pressure fixed and no fuel leaks found.
Next I need to sort out some vacuum ports in the intakes, and try to fire up the engine

You have 40psi oil pressure without even firing up the engine just from cranking? Nice!

Engine is running
E85 exhaust is unpleasant in a confined space
I’ll link to a film clip tomorrow morning

Wow! That sounds almost exactly the same as mine. I also have been running mine on e85 inside!

Awesome!
It runs a little rich? I see Lambda 0,7 in the DTA screen..?

Yes. We struggled a bit to get it idling smooth, and gave it more and less fuel (turned out to be the shielded trigger wire shoelding that was not screwed on to the ECU...)
I turned it down a bunch, and ended up with 1.00 lambda.
