ok to start it off i have missed a week of work becuz of this,

i have a y8 head and b7 block, all i did was swap the head on to the block and kept ever thing else the same, it has all the vtec wiring and a p28 ecu, timing is good, what can be the problem?

 

if your 100% that your timing is ok... did you mess with the valves? are you getting spark? any CEL's? more info please.

 

no cels, spark is all ****ed up, and all the vaves are perfict, and the dizzy ws working fine befor i did the swap

 

and i got a new dizzy and its still the same

 

have you checked to see if your spark plugs and wires are ok?

also does it crank?

 

it cranks, and the wires are good, i tested all the plugs on one wire, and 2 were perfect 1 was week and 1 was nothng, these are all new plugs too

 

are you getting fuel?

 

yep

 

ok so if you got spark, fuel and air, and the car still isn't starting i would go back and double check your timing, just to make sure you got it right.

One more thing, check your fuses.

 

that the thing i have done all that, more then 3 time, so it should start even with all the old parts

 

bump

 

....i need help you guys

 

Ok check your ground wires from the harness that usually bolts up to the thermostat housing. make sure you check to see if the ground to the tranny is secure also and the one to the block. I did a swap not to long ago and had trouble starting it due to poor grounding because of painted tranny caused poor circuit so if your starter is turning maybe you have bad grounding.. pm me if you nee more help...

 

You're SURE the head worked perfect before you put it on? Or was it some local kid who just claimed it worked?

If you're sure its getting fuel and compression, somehow the timing is off. The y8 cam gear would actually put the b7's timing into perfect alignment. Are you sure the spark plug wires are on correctly? Sometimes the different distributors have different angles, which leads to a different connection pattern on the cap. You'd have to match your wire order to the current distributor, based on the legs/angle/coil hump. Firing it 90* or 180* out of order will make big noises & ZERO power.

 

You mentioned replacing the distributor because there was no spark, but you didn't say whether the new distributor restored spark. What's the answer?

Otherwise, triple check the mechanical timing and the distributor and plug wire installation, and also compression test the cylinders, as mentioned already.

 

i just did a mini me z6 on b7 block you need the y8 distributer and the y8 timing belt dude and did u remember to take out the oil jet between the 2 center pistons? if not your beef-tec wont work
