Way to go Bill.  Its the little victories that keep us going to the finish.  I'm just about ready to schedule a visit from the DAR.  Lots of details to attend to still.

I measure T into the rads and Tout, delta t and deltaP on the air, plus some other things.

Hey! Way to go, Bill!
 
Its been a while coming, and given your meticulous workmanship and attention to detail, I was starting to despair I would live long enough to get to this point {:>). 
 
I find that the 3000 rpm point switching between the two EC2 maps took a little bit of tuning to get it to transition smoothly, so you might be ready for some unsteady operation around that point.
 
But, I am highly disappointed that you have data recording capability and fail to do so on your first run {:>),  yes, I'm poking at you, Bill.
 
Great day, looking forward to hearing about more runs.
 
Ed

Today I moved the KIS out of the hanger, tied it to the car, and proceeded to try to start the engine.
 
After a couple of minutes cranking to get oil pressure up, I engaged the injectors and it fired up and RAN.
 
Coolant temperature moved appropriately, indicating that I had flow through the system, no coolant leaks, two small oil leaks (sensor, and blank-off plate ).
 
Didn't take it above 3000 rpm on this first run, and on shut-down I forgot to save the Blue Mountain data to get the temperature data, etc.
 
Engine was not optimally tuned, but it ran, will work on tuning next.
