started this junkyard project awhile ago.... specs: z6 block new bearing, vitra pistons, new rings, new belts, new starter and alt, 450(eclipse) inj, inline resistors, walbro fuel pump....and this is what it looks like




and this is what it sounds like

now im stuck dont know what else to do!! HELP!!! lol

 

hello

 

What are you running it with for ECU?
Spark, compression, fuel checks all done?

 

p28 ecu ... got spark and got fuel, how to check compression

 

I assume the P28 is chipped?
Can you put the stock chip and injectors in and start the car (do not rev of boost... just idle)?

With an engine compression tester.

 

the ecu is not chipped..... and it doesnt start it....it won't turnover...

 

Video sounds like it turns over (cranks) but doesn't fire.

But anyway - you need a chipped ECU or some form of management.
Your stock ECU isn't going to know what to do with those injectors or boost.

Does it smell like fuel after a while when you have tried starting it?

 

you need a chip forsure . and maybe try taking the charge pipe off and spray a little starting fluid in it so you can tell if its fuel or spark . i had a simaler probem with my car and i have almost the same setup. mine was a bad ground wire for the computer

 

^^ pulling the charge pipe off would be a good idea to see if your wiring and all is correct before boosting.
You would probably also need to change out injectors to get it to start on the stock ECU..
If you have access to OBD0 injectors then you can leave the inline resistors in place.
Alternatively, you can use the Z6 injectors and remove the inline resistors to test.
It should at least idle like that.

 

ok i guess ill go back to the junkyard and get some obd0 injectors and buy some starting fluid.. thanks........hmm and Yes i do smell fuel after i try and start it ..

 

bump

 

well if your smelling fuel and your sure its getting fuel . and your sure your getting spark there is no reason it shouldent start . enless you have compression issues or maybe the timing is off on the belt . i would just spray starter fluid in her and see if it starts or fires at all . as long as you have spark and compression the motor should run on starter fluid . if it dose fire then your problem is fuel related . if it dosent fire at all the make sure you have a good spark .then go from there . good luck let me know

 

also do you have fuel pressure on that regulator if so how many psi is it making ?

 

^^ and ^^ - he's running a stock P28 ECU. :slapinthebackofthehead:

This stock ECU is expecting 240cc injectors, but the engine has 450cc injectors installed.
That is almost twice as much fuel getting dumped each time an injector fires.
Impossible stewpud rich.

 

your cylinders are getting flooded by fuel. I would make it N/A until you get crome or some kind of mangement for your turbo kit or your just going to brake your motor.

 

hmm ok so i will swap out the 450 inj to the original 240 and see what happens......................

 

well put in the orginal inj and the same problem ........then i reallized i wasnt getting any spark (DUH!!!!!!) ....changed the coil , still no spark!! (DAMN IT) ....then changed the ignitor ....and whola!!! engine turn over !!! thanks to........
