It got delayed until tomorrow, hopefully. :(

Unfortunately, this session is difficult to coordinate with the tuner being remote in Dubai.

First hook up to the dyno today.

Idle is as low as 1900rpm with Ethanol in the tank (e85)

Running smooth. Unfortunately for some reason the thermostat didn't open and it got too hot, so we couldn't do any runs with it. We're removing the thermostat and running it open on Monday. Also, there appears to be a wiring issue with the electric fan that needs to be trouble shot.

Either way, it ran through all gears under load for the first time!
