help Fiznat...

[Craving4Boost]

Fiz...(or anyone else who remembers)

the first time you started your motor it sounded very....unstable and the motor was shaking....i just started my motor today and its the EXACT same sound and also shook...what i wanted to know was what did you do to fix it?

i will post my vid up later if you need it....but what i dont get is that the first time i started it up...man she pUUURRREEDDD so nice...then the 2nd time it was like yours and so on

[rn240sx]

What did u do to the motor..??

[Craving4Boost]

put in turbo kit without the charge pipes...thats basically it...just wanted to test it there was any vacuum/oil leaks

[Craving4Boost]

could it had been my battery? when it was in the front, it idled really good...but when i put it to back trunk...it started acting up?? i dont know maybe a sh*tty ground? because i didnt ground it to good...but its doubt its that

u were running the engine with the turbo mounted but no charge pipes, so it was completely open before the TB? im surprised it even started. am i reading something wrong here?

+1, you actually were able to get the car started with out charge pipes connected? were talking about intercooler pipes right?

[Craving4Boost]

y does the charge pipes have to do anything with it starting? its not like i ran the car

[WDRacing]

OK, lets quite BSing around here. I don't know what exactly your doing, but it doesn't sound very good.

YOU CAN'T START ANY MOTOR WITHOUT ALL THE PIPING CONNECTED...PERIOD DOT.

If this is what you did then that is your problem.

Fiznat had installed a complete standalone ECU and was working with a completely rebuilt motor. So it's just a tad...can you see the sarchasm...different then your setup.

If this isn't the case, then list every mod you've done and we'll be able to help you. Simply saying your car idles like crap and you need help doesn't give us any details we need to troubleshoot.

crav- you need to hook up the pipes including the intake and maf sensor. this is the way the ecu read air going into the engine and give the proper amount of fuel.

LOL. I think we found the problem....You wanted to test to see if there were any vacuum leaks but didn't bother connecting any of the intercooler piping? I think that qualifies as a rather MAJOR vacuum leak.

I'm just playin around though, no offense intended

News flash: you don't own a Honda.

Hahahaha.. wow, this guy makes me look good

[fiznat]

aww comeon guys give him a break hahaha... dont act like we all havnt made stupid mistakes before as well... I know I have!

Yeah Cav like everyone else says, if your engine is MAF sensed you HAVE to have the MAF connected, that is 100% without a doubt the source of your problem there. Hook up the piping with your sensors (and vaccum lines) installed, and then see how well she runs.

And for the record since you asked, the reason my engine ran so crappy was bad timing. My distribuitor was off a couple teeth-- pulling it out and resetting it correctly solved that problem completely.

Good luck man, haha and welcome to KA-Ting for the first time... fun, isnt it? haha

i have been helping crave almost everyday over the internet, he is a cool kid and just needs some help. very polite and good spirited

[WDRacing]

I'm sure he's a great kid, but you have to expect some pokes for a thread like this...It's just normal. In 2 years when he's helping to educate the noobs himself, I'll relink this thread so we can all see where we started.

oopz...i hooked up my MAF but i forgot all about hooking up the IACV..that was probably it...

sure i consider myself a noob...but i think everyone is a noob because power is infinite

and you guys are lucky i used to play football or else i wouldnt take your criticism so well lol....

this weekend i shall be boosting hopefully..ill let u guys know

[PapaSmurf2k3]

thats not bad, my car wont start now either... maybe its got something to do with the fact that i have absolutely no exhaust whatsoever (its coming straight out of the head), and therefore none of my emissions is hooked up (or blocked off for that mater), or o2 sensor connected or anything.... at least I hope its that.

[nissanfanatic]

The car will actually run without the MAFS hooked up. It will run fine in closed loop.

IACV was def the problem here.lol
