s13 sr20det wont start

[DRIFTN_SILVIA13]

hows it going guys, i have a problem i had a running sr on my coupe and i decided to change it over to my fastback. the sr was running on friday did the swap over on sat sun and yesterday. well in the process i upgraded the turbo to a t25 to a gtir t28. well my car wont start. have gas, spark, i mean it cranks over just wont catch. this sounds like a noob question, but would it be the turbo not spool and wont make it run. i didnt change anything else and i connected everything. can some one please help me out. thank you

Doubt it, because think about it, a car doesn't need to run on a turbo, it'll just be N/A basically, but sounds to me like you might have a vacuum leak somewhere. Also check for boost leaks.

Did you remove your fuel rail at all?

What did you remove from the engine during the swap, besides the turbo and obviously the wire harness? Sounds like something was misplaced or something.

yeah i changed over the ecu, harness, the lower harness. i checked to make sure everything was connected. checked all the vacumm lines. everything is connected. the fuel pump is good. didnt mess with timing. uhmmm.... had the ignitor chip on. i have no clue. ran codes and came out with 55. so its good.

Thats trippy man, wtf, how could it not just work now when it was.

What about the fuses and relays on the other car? Still good? Possibly an issue with fuel

[DRIFTN_SILVIA13]

yeah, i thought the fuses were blown, i checked all the relays. still the same thing. im like wtf. i feel like i wasted 2 days doing this for nothing. i have a feeling its the turbo but could be wrong. if not ima swap the thing back in. the only reason i wanted the hatch was to carry my wheels when i go willow springs on jan 5th. but i guess ill ram pack my coupe. well thats if i get the sr running again..may b the hatch is cursed lol.

[duffman1278]

Aww your going to willow springs in janurary, you lucky sob lol. I might go to check it out if my friend goes

[DRIFTN_SILVIA13]

yeah well i wanna get it running before jan 1st. well ima change the turbo tomorrow back to the t25 i hope is just that. i mean there nothing else i could think of. then ima swap it back over to the coupe. lol
