Not enough voltage for your starter bro. You need a boost!

boosting it worked so that it turns over now at least, just running into same problem as last night where it would turn over but wouldnt start up, which cory figures is due to the plugs being fouled.

check plugs and coils, and wires

[Andrewc]

Are the plugs getting spark at all?
Couple things about the spark plugs, you can try some brake cleaner on them to get the carbon off if that doesn't do the job you can use some really fine grit sandpaper on the plugs to clean off the contacts, if they're platinum it'll most likely wear that off but it'll save you a trip to the store to buy new ones for now at least.

I cheaped out a bit and didnt get iridium plugs since no one had the specific ones I needed, so I bought some 1.1MM gap platinum tipped plugs to use for now until I swap out for the proper ones.

I was going to do those this morning but yeah.. it SNOWED (wtf..) and couldnt do it.. so tonight I will try to get it done.

[GTR-Dad]

just throw some copper plugs in to get it going. No use fouling expensive plugs fooling around.

Wise words, Copper plugs are the way to go. Cheap and they work very well. if you are runnign anymore than stock boost I would close that gap to .8mm

yeah i am running 12-13 PSI.. part source didnt have any .8 gap so i had to settle for 1.1, noobie question but is there a way to lessen the gap on my 1.1mm ones?

if you order BKR7E/BKR6E plugs they will be pre gapped to .8

Go to canadian tire though, part source or napa and on the shelf somewhere they will have a spark plug gapping wheel. Then you just give the ground strap a tap while the gapper is in there and you now have gapped a plug.


The guys at the store can always explain it a bit better too.

I'll do a quick update with Geoffs in the car driving and me sitting beside him listening for anything wrong LOL

- pulled old plugs again (wait for pictures from Geoff)
- replaced with platinum new plugs regapped from 1.1 to 0.8
- out in new plugs, cleaned lead bits on coil packs
- put all back together
- tried to turn over... No go
- remembered someone saying about voltage to the started
- I cleaned battery posts and conectors
- VVVRRRROOOOOOOOMMM!!!! Starts up right away
- let warm up, revved to clear engine of extra fuel
- brought out for test drive, wierd turbo sound(rattling) gone... O_o I don't know LOL
- pulls hard and spools nicely...

I'm sure Geoff will update with his stuff too LOL

[Fuzen]

haha thanks cory!

all he said was correct.. the odd clicking noise that came on when in boost seems to of.. solved itself? Car pulls nicely and perfect with no hesitation at all. So it seems i may of purchased new turbo's for no reason haha, but thats okay with me

People I owe sooooo much to on this adventure:


Cory
Courtney
Josh
Parents
and of course the girl that sticks behind me it all
