i finished my y7-y8 mini me swap but it does not start, i didnt wire in vtec yet or i did not do the IACV mod yet, i was still using the DX ecu
car: 98 hatchd16y7
with a y8 head, y8 intake mani, and y7 Throttle body
i also have some unknown vaccum or coolant plugs which i am unsure where they go. i know a coolant line goes to the TB and there is a nother nipple open. does this lil black cylinder thing plug to it?


i think my timing is off cause my friend said he saw exhaust come out the oil hole.
i need this thing to start, so i can move it.

tommyj

bump.. anyone?

No help from me, but you didn't put the head on with that coolant in the cylinder(s) did you?

jaxle

yea what he said and sum info on how it does not start would help. for starters(heh heh) does it crank? do you hear the fuel pump prime? do you have compression? spark? etc. etc.

And is this one on the Intake Manifold, cause a Did a y8 manifold swap on my y7. Where does that lead to.

check ur timing, happened to me, damn thing wouldnt start, and at the end was one tooth off on my ***.. ohh make sure u got the tension pulley bolt nice and tight, dont wanna get into that

tommyj

i am not holding compression. 75 is the max i got, and i have a coolant issue, it sprayed out the radiator during the compression test.
a coolant line goes to the throttle body and intake mani right?
my car is in the shop now, and my timing is perfect and tensioner is tight.
could my head be cracked or warped? or have bent valves?

Compression could either be headgasket, rings, or valves/valveseats.

tommyj

someone told me it is possible i put the headgasket on backwards.
i think it only fits on 1 way, correct?

Sounds like the timing belt isnt right. Make sure the timing belt is on the motor correctly.

what would the timing have to do with the radiator being persurized when hes turning over the engine?

pull the head man... its your head gasket, or you didnt torque the head bolts properly.

head gasket can be backwards or u didnt connect all the coolant lines right and there is back pressure where there shouldnt be
