i have a mate with a rallye which we are putting a 20vt in, so ive got the old engine out of it and ill put that in when i can afford the insurance

its got a blown supercharger though, so i will either have to source a new one or probably turbo swap it

Your doing a fair amount of work these days tom, have you got redbull on tap or something lol.

Looking good anyway

went and picked up the alternater bracket which a local hero milled down for me

this is it before, just the bracket must have weighed about 5kgs



if carlsberg made alternater brackets;

and a brand new coil

im going to put the old coil back on and see what happens

i think i wired the coil up wrong as i am a dumbass

what could happen if the coil was in back to front?

what wires are where on the coil terminals mate?

red and green go to the same pin

the blacks go to the other

i checked all the coil wiring and it wasnt quite right, so i fixed it, also it turns out i forgot to earth it ;-(

so i fixed that and now it turns over but still doesnt start

im going to put the old coil on and see what happens. im also going to test the leads and hope that solves it

the dizzy and cap are new, but the leads and plugs are about 25k old but the leads are thick performance ones and the plugs are NGK

so i dont think its them
