Further plumbing and an update, bit of progress we are upto a rock solid 80c now. I have moved the thermostat to a horizontal position at the bottom of the rad. This bottom rad pipe connects to the bottom of the thermostat the side with one connector on. The old thermostat has a pipe connected to the top of the Rad. This hose has a T in the middle. The third leg goes to the top of the horizontal Thermostat the straight pipe next to the angled one . The Angled pipe from the side then connects to 2 Ts one a 19mm pipe from the headers the next a 16mm return from cabin heater. Then into the EWP which exit to the intake of the old water pump cover. Then its into the Head the rear of the head has the cabin heater feed and the EWP sensor. There is another sensor for the ECU to. Back at the front of the head is the galley to the old thermostat (thermostat removed) the cover has the 8mm pipe to header tank and the 32mm pipe back to the top of Rad with T piece in. The third hose from the Rad which did go to the header tank has now been capped off. This seems to have removed the wide variance in temps and brought the temp up a little. Its still slow to heat though but an improvement nonetheless. -

Amazingly with the wheel alignment only set by eye it tracks perfectly and feels very secure and solid on the road. The standard Kitten diff is 3.23 and coupled with the type 9 box the overall gearing is high so the performance won't be as sparkling as Chris's Spitfire. It's extremely noisy because apart from the dynamat on the floor, there is no sound deadening on any of the panels and of course, there are no side windows which all contribute to the noise. I've driven it a total of about 10 miles to check that everything was working and I have to say I'm rather pleased with how it went. I just need the MOT now to complete the documentation needed by the DVLA to allow the registration and new V5C. -

More from ISIHAC, but I fear I cannot recommend it, as it isn't clever and it isn't funny. Just hysterical. -
My thoughts: It's hunting a bit which could be a wide range of things. I'd start by setting the map to a fixed value, from the video you could do this by changing the 70 & 100 load cells at 1000rpm to 12°. This should fix the advance and you can then check with a timing light that it's not moving. Megajolt should give absolutely rock solid timing. I note the vacuum is moving a bit too, but from your load map I don't think that's an issue. FYI I have one of these: https://bofiracing.com/performance/intake-system/intake-manifolds/vacuum-manifold-distribution-block-kit/ No affiliation, but it's pretty good for the money and would allow you to connect each runner into the manifold then use the manifold for your vacuum takeoff. This has helped me get a reasonable vacuum figure from my inlet runnners. You also have your map running from 20 to 230 Pa. I'm assuming you're not running a turbo or super charger, so you can set your max pressure to 110pa and use the extra cells to add some detail to your map. You're also showing RPM up to 7000. You could probably lose 500rpm there unless you've done something special to the engine, although I'm not sure this will give much benefit. It's definitely worth looking at the trigger offset value too. Now that it's running you can do the digital equivalent of twisting the distributor to get max idle rpm, adust the trigger offset back and forth a few degrees until you maximise the idle speed. This might become an iterative process of reducing the idle back down again with the idle screws, but should give improvements to idling and you can validate the figures with a timing light. -

Excellent progress. Looking quite splendid. And another vote here for Kiley Clinton. Was they who rebuilt the pas rack for the Scimitar. -

Hmm. That's odd. I can watch them directly in the thread. -
