  1. Might be about time to drop it off at the auto elec's.. Being a chef/having no real room to work on the car at the moment, it might just be easier plus they should know what they are doing!
  2. Correct.. being second hand I have no idea what condition the turbo/engine is in.. is on the cards to inspect inside
  3. Ok cheers for the info, sounds like this is the way to go. Fingers crossed it solves my problem... cars huh
  4. Its just a standard commodore relay so I wouldnt think so..
  5. No go.. looks like that's how it was wired anyway by the looks of it.
  6. Ok cheers mate ill do that and report back
  7. Yeah that's what I meant mate
  8. No cigar with putting power to 30.. if I run my little wire to 86 or 87 the car will start. Without going out there until tomorrow.. does it sound like my relay doesnt have power? I have a multimeter ill check it tomorrow Edit; Hang on.. if the relay wasnt getting power connecting the wire to 30 should of fixed the problem.. but it doesnt.. so what does that mean..?
  9. This is what someone gave me on Street Commodores pin 30 power from battery pin 85 earth (body of car, bat "-" etc) pin 86 trigger wire (from ignition for example, basically tells relay to send power to whatever the relay is for) pin 87 power to ur pump, fan, whatever the relay is for Ill get a regulator/pressure gauge next week just so I can see what's going on. Out of curiosity what should the fuel pressure normally be? Also this was above but ill put it here again just so it's not missed So pin 7 needs to be connected to the FP relay, ill check that out next chance I have, which number on the relay does it have to connect to?
  10. Well I had a quick play tonight, and if I run the pump straight off the battery the car does run better, I took a video to show where i'm up to, hopefully it's more useful. So is it a matter of reconfiguring the wires on that relay? Injector seals look fine. What's a good inline fuel pressure gauge to look out for? Also what is the 'CAS'.. Crank something? So pin 7 needs to be connected to the FP relay, ill check that out next chance I have, which number on the relay does it have to connect to? I apoligise for the dumb questions, I just want it to be crystal clear in my head, thanks for your patience. Video - As you can see it blows a fair bit of BLUE smoke but it rev's freely which is better than before when I was bridging the relay to get it to run. And when I remove the power wire the car's idle speeds up unitl it stalls out.
  11. Maybe because I love commodores and I wanted to do something different than putting an LS1 in it. It smells like its coming from the exhaust plus it blows some blue smoke, Pump just continually runs. The boys on street commodores gave me a wiring diagram of the relays and im sure I wired it from battery to pump, but ill try that method to be sure. Yeah I know what you mean about being scary.. I'm hoping it's just accessories for the rb20 that arent crucial to running properly, ill put up those questions in due time. I'll check this out, thanks My moo6 has got an lsd with 4.11's so no problems here. I beg to differ on full of fail. It's different and if it works properly its something out of the ordinary which is why I did this Thanks bud I'm located in country victoria near the Grampians. I've had a couple say I need a fuel pressure gauge, ill get onto these suggestions, Thanks Oh ok, I asked my question on there and they never gave me a link to that thread, ill check it out, thanks mate!
  12. Hi guys I have a bit of an unusual problem, and I have been reccomended to come here and look for help. So please be nice Ok so after 2.5years I got my project car back from my mechanic far from finished, I am going to be finishing it myself. Now I need to get the car running before I go any further, it is a vp with an RB20DET. My problem is that when the ignition is turned on the fuel system won't pressurise and hence my problem of the car not starting, the car does have a new fuel pump. On the car it came out of (which I no longer have.. grr) it was running a smalll surge tank and an external fuel pump. I can start the car if I bridge 30 and 87 on the fuel pump relay in the engine bay, the car will run but it will stink badly of fuel. So coming to that conclusion the ignition is not triggering the relay to open. Which is where I am stuck now, I don't know where to go from here as i'm a chef not a mechanic, and because of the nature of this car noone really want's to touch it (too hard basket) so if I can get some direction that would be great. Please keep in mind this engine conversion was done in another vp and was transferred into mine by my mechanic who lost interest in it. So i'm trying to pick up the peices but the car is a mess. I have attached a video if that is of any help of the car running, it won't rev freely. MVI_0329_zpsf4efb611.mp4 Video by Kaz654 | Photobucket Thanks in advance. Some problem solving I have tried. Fuel lines are around the right way, I can feel the relay triggering when ignition turns on. EDIT: I should mention too that this conversion was already in a vp and it was meant to be a simple matter of transferring it over.. yeah right. So this setup used to run and drive fine before it was pulled apart. I'm starting to think it may be a sensor playing up and messing with the ECU. Being an rb20 into a vp there is a few spare wires floating around which don't help..
