looks solid…nice job
i had the same thing happen, $25 worth of oil all over the friggen floor. ended up being a broken stainless oil feed line. its worth the trouble though youll see 
Ahhh, great! One more problem on top of everything!
Did the OBD0 to OBD1 conversion today. Started by replacing the injectors (450cc), replaced the distributor then the ECU using Xenocron conversion harness. After that, I wired the new O2 sensor to the ECU thinking I was done. Well, I ask my GF just to put the key to the ON position to check for leaks on the injectors. I got a lil one but then, my GF tells me the CEL stays on and doesn’t go off after 2 seconrs like it should. I recheck for the leak on the injector, and it looks like it’s now ok, so I try to start the car… Well, guess what??? It doesn’t want to start! It just turns but refuses to start!
Any idea what could cause the CEL to stay on? I didn’t check for codes yet since it was 6:30 and I was ungry as hell so I called it a day.
I will check it out sunday night or monday…
Well, turns out that a pin on the chip was bent and not making contact. The CEL is now ok. Only need to replace the injectors o-rings as one is leaking a bit and I might be able to get the car out of the garage! :hyper:
dude I am excited for you, I love boost!
Injectors are ok. But the car is still not starting. Seems like there’s no spark. Guess the ECU is still to blame… Would the car start with 450cc injectors on a stock ECU? Just trying to rule out some possibilities here…
Finally got it to start!!!
Problem was with the distributor conversion harness that had 2 misplaced wires. (Was ruling that out since it was a commercially bought harness, should checked it before.)
Final phase this week before tuning next weekend! (if everything goes as planned)
You just can’t use the term “restrictor” without knowing which size restrictor to use. the right feed line needed to be used, plain and simple. with a -3AN sized brake line as a feed line, most of the time on journal bearing turbos, a restrictor isn’t necessary. If the line is too big, and the oil return was not run correctly, even with a restrictor, this problem could still come up. Too many people use “restrictors” without knowing what size the restrictor releases. Use the correct equipment for the turbo, and you’ll be just fine.
Well, I did talk to the guy I bought my kit from and the first turbo I had was confirmed defective. My setup is ok.
I’ll be test driving the car more tonight. Did a quick run around the block yesterday and had a bit of blue smoke, but not sure if it’s the remains of my first bad turbo that filled the exhaust with oil.
Even thought I did not really tried flooring the car, I did made a lil boost and whoa, hearing the turbo spool and the blow-off, WOW! :dance: :ohyeah: :excite:
