Started out in this car...



tore it down and took it all to a machine shop.


used cometic street pro gasket set and arp head bolts
did rhd swap and rewired everything to the other side of the car


got the motor put in

Got it running and idles fine without ic piping hooked up here's a video

Running the buick coil pack setup but it had a ground wire that wasn't getting a good connection so thats what the red wire is in the video. My current issue is that it will crank all day long and won't start unless you give it a little help with some starting fluid on a cold start. Fuel pump kick's on when you turn the key on (Walbro 255 brand new) it has 40lbs of pressure at the fuel rail. I have another rb parts motor that I pulled the cas off of and if you plug it in with the key on you can hear all 6 injectors pulse/prime and you can hear the spark plug's fire. If you plug the cas plug back into the cas on the motor it fires right up b/c the fuel has primed into the intake runners. It run's good but everytime I go to start it I have to either prime the system like that or take the IC piping off and spray starting fluid to get it to initially fire up. I have been trying to figure out this issue for days now and I know there are smarter ppl out there than me so any advice is greatly appreciated.
More background info... I have rb20 stock maf and stock injectors and stock ecu. I have a v-band down pipe with no 02 bung in it. My stock 02 sensor plug is not hooked up. Was doing some reading and saw something about that could be my issue? but I was going to run my aem wideband o2 So I didn't care about the stock one. But since I don't have an 02 bung I can't hook it up yet.....
