Engine runs!

It runs!! The TDI 4Runner fired right up tonight with minimal cranking! clack clack clack clack clack clack clack clack clack clack!!!!  After the injection pump was fully powered & a few other sensors were installed, the engine came to life in less than a second of cranking.. no sputtering about it! Pretty sweet for a diesel. Not even loud at all straight out of the turbo with no exhaust. Still a LOT of work left to do before it's street ready, but at least now I know the engine is good. Been over a year since I bought the engine. Nice to see some big progress. Combusted diesel sure smells good :-D
More videos to come soon... lots of footage, just have to make time to edit it. The videos aren't made to be entertaining - it is mostly for documentation purposes and for those wanting to build something similar.
