Firstly, the Start/Stop button wasn't starting the car because it wasn't connected to anything We removed that button and the trim around it when we installed the hydraulic handbrake, and at some point we put it back but didn't reconnect all the electrical cables to the back of it as we were just seeing if it all fit properly. Apparently then we all completely forgot about it... Second issue was that there was no fuel in the tank. Took us longer than I'd like to admit to realise this. As for Ricky (the guy who built the engine), I gave him a ring before we realised what the problem was and he actually happened to be staying at a hotel just round the corner from me (which is a weird coincidence, as he lives about 200 miles away from me). He was kind enough to come round and give us a hand sorting everything out. We had an issue with the serpentine belt jumping off the crank pulley the first few times we fired it up and he sorted that out and stuck around until we had got everything to a good state. So yeah as it stands now, the engine is back in, all seems to be running ok, just need to put it through a few more heat cycles and then take it to Fensport to be mapped for more boost (which is already booked in for early Feb)

Changed the oil after running it through a few heat cycles over the last couple of days as recommended, then took it for a test drive today... and all seems good haven't thrashed it yet but so far so good. Looking forward to getting it mapped next week

Once that was sorted, they noticed oil building up in one of the cylinders. So I took it back to Ricky as I assumed it must be something to do with the engine rebuild, but we found it looks like the oil is coming from the intake manifold. Seems like the catch can Fensport installed as part of the original turbo installation is doing absolutely nothing (as it was bone dry and the intake manifold was covered in oil). Can even see oil stains on the inlet ports where it has run down into the cylinders. So yeah... not having much luck so far lol Ricky has got the car this week to modify the breather system to try get this catch can to actually do its job, and also do another leakdown n compression test just to be sure its nothing internal. Then hopefully all being well, I'll get it back at the end of this week or early next week and can take it back to Fensport to get the final map done.

even if the leak down isn't the greatest, i wouldn't worry too much. the top rings still need to seat before that clears up.

Leakdown should be around 3% on a fresh Snap-on leakdown tester if the bores are fresh on those CP's and providing the valves are sealed perfectly.

How did the leakdown test go? That would be a cool video for your engine builder to do for those that don't know what a leakdown test is

The oil issue was definitely because of oil being passed back into the inlet manifold through the PCV system instead of getting caught by the catch can. Engine builder quickly spotted and rectified this by changing the way the catch can hoses are set up (free of charge, even though it wasn't him that installed it originally - so thanks for that Ricky!).
Once that was all sorted it went back to Fensport for the final map. They did encounter some fuelling issues at very high RPM but got that sorted in the end and rang me yesterday to say it is all done. Apparently they've got it running 1.2 bar of boost (17 psi) through most of the rev range and said it pulls really well. Picking it up on Tuesday and will be taking it to a rolling road day that the gt86 FB group has organised on the 27th so will see what power its making exactly. I'll update this thread with impressions of driving it once I get it back
