Need help with turbo setup
Alright this is my ebay turbo set up with a few brand name parts. I got everything installed but I'm running into a fuel problem. So here's the problem, I unhooked the spark plug wires from the plugs to "prime the turbo". While doing so fuel sprays out of the banjo bolt/fuel rail. My injectors are not leaking at all.
So what could it be? Could this be caused by my injectors being wired wrong? I'm sure not how you can tell or that my fuel pump is high pressure?

Re: Need help with turbo setup
Should have nothing to do pump size or wiring. On the top n bottom of the banjo fitting there is gonna be 1 brass crush-washer on each side, or jus 1 silver thin washer on each side (top n bottom). It sounds like you might have had 1 that might of fell out or something.
Check that first, if theres a washer on the top n a washer on the bottom then tighten down a lil harder, sometimes snug doesn't cut it.

Re: Need help with turbo setup
yea I got them tightened very tight. I was just wondering if the injectors are not working would that cause a overload and cause it to burst out?
Also, if i wanted to get new washers for the banjo fitting where could pick those up?

Re: Need help with turbo setup
No, the injectors have NOTHING to do with the banjo fitting. Any excess fuel thats not being used is returned thru the fuel pressure regulator & return line back to the tank
autozone sells copper crush washers. But in my years of hondas I haven't really experienced the stock washers not sealing (unless there's obvious damage of course) even when taking them on & off multiple times, I'm sure it happens tho, are you positive the washers r there n in the correct spots?

Re: Need help with turbo setup
is one a smaller diameter? try taking the banjo completely off n reinstalling it, sometimes just things being shifted around will take care of it
