Took out my b18c4 too put in a b18c6 forged for my turbo setup.Have it in and all wired up but it wont turn over at all? I put in a new fuel pump and its priming etc when I turn the key I also have my ignition lights and when I turn the key I have my engine check/oil and that.Its not turning over at all though I unbolted my starter there and cross the two large terminals and the little gear in the starter popped out and span so I took off the piece I used too cross them but it continued too spin even after turning off my ignition..i had too take off my battery lead to stop it..its obviously a wiring problem.I checks my earths the one from gearbox too chassis,rocker to slam panel and thermostat housing and there all fine?

Any help greatly appreciated

Main relay under dash? If LHD the. On left side up against left side of kick pannel frame (up a bit from floor). RHD same thing just other side. Timing? Make sure ing/cam timing is correct.

Have you tried spinning the crank?

92 eg4 hatch was already running a b18c4 no problem did nothing but remove my old engine and fit my new one..one thing i notice is there are two of the same plugs beside my distributor and neithr i have my loom connected too.?

Cian Mcloughlin

No should i?

Basik_One

If its not cranking you should, since you said the starter was working. If you can turn it then make sure your starter is turning when its bolted on, since you tried it by jumping it outside its normal position

Cian Mcloughlin

Tried starter in its nomal position by crossing the terminals and it jus made a crazy noiise nd didnt turn over the engine atal..

Try turning the crank from the drivers side should be a size 19mm, if it doesn't turn more than likely the engine is bad

Cian Mcloughlin

Its newley built engine..

Basik_One

Did it turn though? Something seems to not be letting the crank turn

Cian Mcloughlin

No it didnt turn it made a grinding noise from the starter..had too disconnect battry leads to stop it.there are two empty connections off the distributor would this cause a problem i dont have any plug off my loom too fit it unless i have to splice one in?

If your engine builder hasn't been building engine for factory race teams for decades, there's a GOOD chance he screwed something up. It could also be something as simple as installing the camshaft or timing belt incorrectly.

Don't post again in this thread until you have spun the engine via the crank pulley.

Hd showed my the engine running in mock setup he has in his workshop .its built properly

Then it's likely the starter is broken, not completely, but enough where it won't move the engine.
