Recently rebuilt my FD engine, first engine I have done. Bridge ported all plates. Have had lots of trouble starting as plugs are gumming up with black crud. Found that if I heat the plugs with a gas torch first and put them in it will start without too much hassle.
Just thought I would throw this one out there anyone else tried this before? Thoughts?

You probably need less fuel. Without knowing which standalone you are running I can't give any hard advice. Go into your cold start settings and pull a bit of fuel in the warmup enrichment. The engine will be most happy running around 12.8:1 until it begins to warm up, then you can taper to around 13.5:1 at idle. However before you tune the warmup enrichments you at least need to get the main map close enough.

I agree, you need better tuning.

Also pay attention to if this problem is isolated to only one of the combustion chambers. If it is, consider taking your injectors out for a proper ultrasonic cleaning and flow test.

Just the two I was after, big fan. No stand alone yet I am waiting for a wolfV500 at the moment. Going by your comments a stand alone or at least a full retune is a must for the list below .

+ Looks to be on both chambers, all plugs. Have tested spark, all four look good. Turned over with the UIM off at one point don't remember why and could see the injector vapor in individual puffs coming up from the LIM centrer holes.

Waiting for wolf so I can get a better look at what is happening.

Simple list of mods:

Full bridge port
99 Twin Turbos
Ported wastegate
Stainless 3" from turbos on with sports cat

I have blocked off oil injection points & disabled oil injector by removing the gear during rebuild, but still plugged in till I get the chip. Removed air pump.

Just as a side dish I have done a search on "laptop" out of curiosity. You can pick up a laptop for $800 NZD which is affordable. With 1GB ram &about 1.9MHz speed. Would be handy for a permanent mount where my radio used to be for wolf tuning and MP3 output + any other useful points. Off the bat has anyone done this, are there any existing links. Anyone.

Just run a search on this site for "CarPC". I know a couple of folks have done it; I don't have the links handy.

The stock ECU won't provide nearly enough fuel for a bridgeport. To give you an idea, I just finished tuning a friend's FC. At idle, it runs about 1.4mS on stock 550CC primaries. My car with a small bridgeport needs 2.74mS to idle on 720CC primaries. Both idle at around 13:1.

You need a bigger turbo. The twins will be full spool off of idle and will boost spike horribly. The hotsides are WAY too small for any kind of bridgeport.

You need to loose the cat. It will never survive with a bridgeport and it will create too much backpressure.
