Rb26 Wont Start After Turbo Upgrade

[toy515]

hey guys

i have a rb26 it has 700cc injectors power fc rb25 afms ect.. i had hks gtss turbos on it before i took the turbos off to upgrade the car was tuned and running fine not one miss ect... now ive installed twin high mount td05s and it wont start, in know it wont run perfect if if was to start but it wont start? could it be the plugs? theres no spark coming from the plugs but theres none from the coil packs either?

also the car was has been sitting for the past 4 months maybe the fuel?

If your not getting any spark then you need to check why, that will be your problem.

When i first started my Silvia after rebuilding the engine it took a bit before it started and actually ran nicely as the inlet manifold had been sitting around all that time and i hadn't cleaned the injectors, (lazy i know) so i presumed that was the reason why as it could of had some stale fuel in there,

But if your not getting any spark you need to find out why first check all your connectors etc

As above, check that the crank angle sensor is working (test it out of the car to see if you can get spark). Obviously check that everything is plugged in, but start at the CAS and work your way back towards the ECU. Make sure you have fuel etc.

Yeah mate, if you're not getting spark you're never going to start the engine =P as the previous kids mentioned check the loom and connections, also check the grounding on the loom. If you have an ignitor module check that. Bust out the multimeter and check that you are getting power and signal properly to the pins back to the ecu if need be, you gotta find out why. Obviously check the ignition =P

As there's no spark from the coils it means it's not the plugs too, it's at or most likely before the coils (before if all coils aren't firing pretty much)

Good luck!

ok just quick question i pulled the coil packs out and put the spark plug in the coil and grounded the plug and no spark (not sure if stuff plug or no spark) but when cranking it if i look into the coil pack should there be spark coming from them even tho its not grounded and no plug?

The plug should be near a ground metal and when you crank it there should be spark from the plug not form the coil. If no spark , plugs can be bad and also check your coils to.

fuel pump, can u hear it prime at all? std ones have been known to crap out after sitting for ages without use

given youve done a lot of work, check the basics

check all wires and sensors, check all basic engine functions, check power, check plugs etc

check ETC, SENSOR SW CHECK on the hand controller for sensors with black names (highlighted)

after you;ve done all that, run a re-check of everything and then isolate

air, fuel, spark

if you have all 3 it should start and crank over

ok turned out it was the ignition module i never thought they could stuff out like that
