Default installed Greddy turbo... wont start need help

I'm pretty sure I've wired everything up. after completing the install, I was ready to fire up the motor, but it wouldn't start. It turns out the motor was flooded... I pulled the plugs & the injector harness to help clear the cylinders faster. I tried a few minutes later when most of the fuel had evaporated. THe car still wouldnt start, i pulled the new set of plugs and they were drenched in oil, it seems like im not getting any spark...

what could be wrong? a fried coil? who do i check to see if the coil is bad, how do I check for spark? I'm at a loss of what to do. why are my injectors so soaked?

I need some help. THis is a Greddy turbo kit 18G on a 00' Si (b16a)

what fuel mang. are you running? how long has the car sat there for? When i installed mine, car sat for too long and the battery did not have enough juice to turn the motor. it was strange because it started my sis GSR.

I checked my battery and I couldn't see any electrolyte of what ever that fluid is called inside the cells. The motor still turns over though, i wonder if that could be the problem. I check for spark and there is spark it just dont want to ignite.

If the ignition coil was fried would the motor turn over? or would there just not be spark? if the battery doenst have enough volts will the spark plugs not fire correctly?

if the coil was bad it wouldnt start...no spark... or irradic(Sp?) spark

greddy kit....soo tell us, you wired everything up. meaning Blue box, black box? vfac?smc? what did you wire?

its probably something simple but we need to know what you did exactly so we can try and figure it out..

actually I figured it out, it was the stupid wiring. The kit came with the damn blue box, the people I bought it from said I was going to get the new emanage but oh well, i got what i got. I wired up the blue box according to the diagram they gave me. However there was an error on the diagram, what didn't match the color codes of the existing ecu wiring. Anyhow to make a long story short, there was an error on the wiring diagram i got, fixed it... and it fired right up like nothing ever happened, and I'm loving it.
