hey guys basically, the head gasket is blown at the 5th cylinder .. compression is all good across the other 5, just 6th one is a little bit low .. still pulls n drives very hard .. water temps dont go up,

how ever yesterday i was driving it home the oil temps were getting close to 150 degrees, so i was going to pull over, before i pulled over the car stalls on me and now it never starts again. Even though the car has a blown head gasket i don't see a reason for it not to start ?

i change the spark plugs, put jumper leads on it as starting it without another battery support causes the battery to die. When i turn the car to accessories i can hear the fuel pump prime, and i just start it, it clicks and clicks and clicks and clicks but nothing happens. Any suggestions ?

That is VERY high oil temps 0_0

So it won't crank over at all? You just get the start motor solenoid click? If so then you have to start from there and see if the starter motor is seized and if you can confirm the starter motor is good then you might want to get a compression and leak down test. Sounds like some bad stuff going on inside that RB26.

If it does crank but won't start then it's more likely that the excessive engine heat has caused a sensor to fail.

If it's clicking a lot then it sounds like it's trying to engage the starter but doesn't have enough voltage or the starter is damaged. You mention the battery can't start the car so the issue could be electrical and starter related. Check all your fuses then try and get a proven starter. Also need more info on whether the car cranks at all or just click click clicks.

      Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy

      Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.

      Hope your all having a mean Xmas! If anyone happens to know any trick to using the insanely complex climate control system, I cannot get it to not be on dual zone no matter how many times I deselect it (will say it's not but both vents blow different temps). Also one side is always hot, one always cold 🤷

      I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street.
