New motor in the Omni, it's an '03 PT Turbo motor. This is the first start. It's got NOTHING hooked to it right now. No crank pulley, torque converter isn't bolted to the flex plate. So it revs a bit like an F1 car. No water in the motor yet, so I didn't run it long. It doesn't rev as well as it could because the engine is still cold. This is with an open downpipe. Oil feed isn't hooked to the turbo yet, so there are vice grips keeping it from spinning. Running on a borrowed MegaSquirt II at the moment, waiting for MS3 to become more available still.
