2 weeks and counting..... :nervous:
Nice, are you running the new G4? Should sound real nice once you get it all done.
Yep the G4, took a little while getting it all sorted to fire, but yeah, dyno tomorrow for some fine tuning.
Datsane, yeah it was all assembled with liberal amounts of oil, so the smoke was expected, it cleared after a while, ran it on a fast idle for about 15 minutes, temp stayed static at 86 degrees, no leaks, all good so far

Its not getting a hard session, just a couple of bursts to get the most out of it, but we are starting with all the settings off Brians 4-rotor, and using same length intake runners and same size injectors, so will be pretty close already.
I think Geoff has been a bit harshly judged when asked to dyno some time-bombs.

LOL.. He's not called DR DEATH for no reason.. he just doesn't when when enough is enough. There's a bit more to it then that.. but there have been some grenades just waiting to go.

Sweet, they seem to be pretty reasonable. Will see how ours survives 8 days of rally in a little over a week.
