Next step: Make existing wiring harness fit for new engine.
That harness is soaked in oil, because old engine leaked oil "a bit" sometimes. Very nice to do electric work and have hand dirty on oil and sand.

Oil for turbo
And new position for oil cooler.
Old oil cooler hosing was a bit more radical.

Got MAP/intake air temperature sensor welded to intake manifold.
Re: Opel Rekord C -66 "Saabel"
Did some air direction to get oil cooler working properly. Atleast in theory all air should be going through the cooler. Still have to do some protection against rocks etc. flying from tire to the back side of cooler.
Re: Opel Rekord C -66 "Saabel"
WHOOOAAAA! So close to start up. Fuel pumps work, fuel lines do not leak, my laptop was able to connect to the ECU and ECU showed some sensible values from temperature sensors. Still have to do oil return from turbo, finish and double check wiring and then try to start. Hopefully get it running idle next week.
Re: Opel Rekord C -66 "Saabel"
Close but still far far away. Something wrong with the electrics, hence no startup.

Let's hope you get it sorted
Re: Opel Rekord C -66 "Saabel"
Well, it almost started. After I got timing set and started to adjust fuel maps for e85 and then my computer broke. Not a big problem, it just doesn´t find Windows anymore! Ridigulous.
Re: Opel Rekord C -66 "Saabel"
can't you turn the oilcooler upside-down så the hoses doesn't show under the car? Muuten hieno auto!

Re: Opel Rekord C -66 "Saabel"
If I would turn oil cooler upside down I would have to make new hoses and also modify headlight cover. So that is out of the question for now. Hoses don´t actually hang too low.

Re: Opel Rekord C -66 "Saabel"
Finally got engine to start and running for few seconds! BUT it leaked oil heavily from oil filter/oil cooler stand and color of oil on the floor and on dip stick was milk coffee. Hopefully it is just head gasket...
Re: Opel Rekord C -66 "Saabel"
And like Sacha Baron Coen said in movie Dictator: "Of with the head!"
So called oil
I thought to take head to the pressure test and then assembly with new head gasket. Hopefully it works.

Re: Opel Rekord C -66 "Saabel"
I got it running. Poorly but anyway.

Re: Opel Rekord C -66 "Saabel"
Changed oil and oil filter, put normal pump gas in tank instead of e85, scaled fuel maps down a lot and started. Lambda showed quite sensible values and oil didn´t change color! JEJ! So after all head gasket was propably OK in the first place and there was just a lot ethanol mixed in oil. Looks goood so far.
