I went over my wiring again today to see if I made any mistakes which it seems I haven't. I changed out the EFI relay and the Circuit Opening Relay to see if there was something faulty in them. The new COR which came from a Gen 3 turbo did in fact help and increased the longevity of the fuse though it still blew like the rest. I ended up throwing in a 20amp fuse to see if I could pull a code but alas nothing.  

Since then I have worked out the issue and it was as simple as the Walbro pump's increase draw on the EFI circuit was more than the 15amp fuse could handle. Unplugging the O2 sensor has dropped the overall amperage across the circuit so that it runs the pump without blowing the EFI fuse.
 
Oddly enough the added draw was making the engine run much hotter than normal and after fixing the issue and having the engine back running nicely on the 15amp fuse, the engine temperature was reduced considerably to the point where you can leave your hand on the intake manifold without burning it. 

Thought I'd throw this picture of the fuse up just for interest sakes. 

Goes to show that it is probably best to run a Walbro on its own circuit if wanting to retain sensors such as the O2 and Exhaust temp. 

Got bored on the weekend and was feeling like I hadn't done much on the car lately. So I figured it was time to start preparing/mounting the skirts that Iv had collecting dust for quite sometime.



Unfortunately the mold points on the inside of the skirts caused fitment issues. Which was the perfect excuse to buy a rotary tool as I have wanted one for some time. 

 
This took just about all day to get perfect. But Im happy with the fitment in the end. Ill tackle the passenger side skirt next and hope that it fits just as nice. 

 
 

A small but significant update, today I finally got red SW blue slipped and registered. This has taken a total 3 weeks fighting with the RTA to prove I hadnt stolen the car and with blue slip places to get them to slip the car as both them and the RTA had very different ideas of what the rules and regulations were. Such a frustrating and tiring process it has been!

Nonetheless she is now on road and can happily say she will be making an appearance at the Christmas BBQ. 

Does this mean that now you and your Dad both have an MR2 to bring along on the runs? 

You got it! He has taken quite a liking to it so its considered his MR2 now. Plus he has wanted to get more involved with the Club anyway, I suppose he has no choice 

Nice work!

Good stuff on getting the other one sorted!

great news :)  
Good work on getting the kit to fit as well, it's looking great

Cheers. Unfortunately though the passenger side skirt fits horribly and has obviously come from a terrible mould. Also both skirts ground with the rear wheels when up in the air. Im hoping new suspension will solve this due to less droop but it looks like Ill either need to buy a new set of skirts that come from a much better mould or get a body shop to adjust the shape of them.
