Default turbo install trying to start but doesn't turn over HURRY

I just installed my turbo today and I'm trying to turn over my car so I can plurge the oil lines but it doesn't want to turn. I don't have the o2 seniors installed but does that make a diff? I also don't have my downpipe installed either but it should still be able to start without it off. I can't think of anything else that I need to do.

might try turning your distributor shaft 180 degrees.


worth a try. my car did the same thing. also go back and make sure all plugs are in.

what is it doing? more info
is it cranking at all, clicking, or nothing?

just take steps backward what you did, might be something stupid, like puting the neg battery cable back on.

btw I just started my car up without running oil through the lines. it is only like a second before oil gets to the turbo.

If you installed any kind of piggy back fuel man. make sure youve done it right. look over the wires.

Your battery's too drained to operate the starter. Get it jumped.

That was my first thought too. It doesn't conitueous click just one click and thats all. Like a relay or something. Lights come on and bright and everything else works.

-----STUPID ME ALERT-----

OK I havn't driven my car in like a long time. MY beater was a auto. The reason why it wouldn't turn over is b/c I forgot to push in the clutch. LOL I feel so stupid. Thanks for all the ideas guys.

i know its odd but do you have an alarm?? my car played that joke on me and it ended up being the alarm that shut off everything, if not then it never hurts to check all fuses and wires and the battery!!
