Just installed turbo with greddy blue box, car died and won't start
Finished installing kit yesterday night and today fired it up and drove it to muffler shop to get downpipe welded.
I have the greddy 18g turbo on a gsr. Whats weird is when i first drove car it was fine then i drove it to muffler shop and i died right when i got to muffler shop and i had problems starting it up.
We checked the spark plugs and tried gapping both to .030 and .050 but still doesn't work.
Running on 310cc injectors. Walbro 255 lph pump. JRC intercooler, Spooling performance downpipe and ic piping.
I also wired the blue box in and thought it was the problem so i removed it and car still doesn't turn over.
The car cranks but won't start. There are times where car starts up and idles at 100-300rpms.
What could be the problem because I'm out of ideas. I was able to drive home by riding the clutch and revving pretty high. But at 1000-3000 rpm it boggles like crazy. Car won't start up now. no idea what could be the problem.

Just a long shot, but maybe your timing jump. I would check for spark and gas first. Then I would double check the timing belt and the mark to make sure. One of my friend car did the same thing a couple of day ago and the timing jump.

They should be exactly even in the middle. For ex. let O be the gear and > be the timing mark.

yesterday went out pulled the spark plugs and cranked the car. im getting a spark in all 4. i don't know what could be wrong. could it be that i wired my injector clips wrong? cause there are two wires for each injector. also i pulled out the fuel rail and cranked the car. only the third injector is spraying fuel out. so from the front view [ o o o o ] the one in bold is only one shooting out fuel. is that normal on a crank? im pretty sure i wired up the injector clips correctly but i could be mistaken.

alright well i found out something is wrong with my cars wiring. fuel pump gets 12v using multimeter but is spitting out air. when i hook it up to battery it shoots out gas.
also i killed my starter. life sucks.
but we rolling started it. and it idled good for a minute then rpms start fluctuating and car eventually dies. anyone that can help me with this problem? when i try to drive it i have to rev really high to keep it alive. don't know wha this problem could be. car struggles to move and all that. i'm really getting a fat headache froma ll this.

Re: (ev0luti0n)
wire up the injectors so yellow+black stripe (ground) is on the tranny side, and the colored wire (different color for each injector) is on the pully side. i bet you have them backwards

ditch the blue box,convert to obd 1 and get your gsr tuned with Crome Pro. I have ggreddy 18g turbo on my gsr street tuned with Crome and it runs like a champ, no idling problems.
thats diagram i followed.

Re: (project dc2)
i cant make out the diagram.
Each injector has 2 wires, 4 injectors thats 8 wires.
each injector has a yellow/black wire and a solid colered wire.
The yellow/black is the same wire really, its a ground.
Wire them up so that the ground is on the tranny (passenger side) and the solid colored wire is on the pully side (drivers side)

Re: (ev0luti0n)
well doesnt mater. weather its a ground or a +12
what matters is your wires are switched up
yellow black passanger side .
colored wires driverside
injectors always have power.
its the groudn that makes them fire. in which its signal is recieved from the ecu.
