hi all....

I have no idea now... hoping some1 can help me,

I have just finished my 100k service (everything their is ok it turns no problem)

Installed a GT3540 on the stock manifold with external wastegate

and a greddy style plenum....

it will turn like it wants to start but it wont fire.... it has fuel and spark.

it kinda feels like an earth or vacuum leak, but i can't find anything.

what else could it be???

Thanks in advance

Josh

lol I didn't know installing a GT3540 was a part of the 100,000km service?

Not sure about you problem though? Sorry.

Maybe IAC valve? What happens if you pump the throttle a little while starting?

Nothing much... sounds like it wants to start but just doesn't go...

The GT35 is the most important part of the 100K service... LOL

So I'm asuming you did timing belt?

Timing marks could be off.

No i don't think it would be, I triple checked everything when i put it back together....

just double checking man. by its got fuel...u mean injector pulse?

i installed a 3540 and a greddy plenum.

when i went to start it I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM

what u have to do is. reverse the fuel hoses. so switch the hoses coming from the fpr with the feed hose to the rail. so swap them around

i had that problem.

very easy to overlook. make sure the hose from the fuel filter goes to the inlet for the rail NOT to the fpr

symptons were....it would crank and crank, and want to start. but it wouldnt run.

the fuel line with the fuel filter should go to the rear of the motor, the return line should come out of the reg at the front rail..

the easiest way to distinguish these........

the fuel pressure reg is always the highest point of the fuel system as not to air lock the fuel rail. this is where your return line should go.

sounds like basic stuff i know but it never hurts to check the cooler piping again, i checked mine four times before i found the leak cause my engine to hunt.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
