Hey guys, I think I have a manufacturing issue. Is the pulley that goes on the FEAD bracket supposed to seat fully on the post that sticks out of it?
I could probably just jam it on, it seems only a slight amount out of tolerance. |

Gave it some encouragement, it seated with some firm smacks and spins well. Doesn't feel like it should be that tight of a fit though. Onward I go.

Intercooler hoses suck ass. I don't know how you guys did them but I barely got them on.
I almost feel like you should put them on before you position the manifold and just throw them over your shoulder as you place it. |

Same thing with the fuel rails. It's easier to clip the fuel line first and then rotate the rail into place. Otherwise the angles are funky and the hose doesn't like to seat properly.

So tired and frustrated. Everything is finally together tonight, flashed, checked for leaks, both coolant loops filled and bled. The car cranks, sometimes catches, but won't fully turn over. Tried about 6 times and decided I should stop. Took a look at my air hoses and everything looks right as far as I can tell.
Fuel pump fuse is installed. The only DTC in the entire system is A/C. Guess I messed something up there but it looks fine. I'm sort of at a loss right now. |

Do you have gas in the tank? Is your battery dead? did you properly tighten the battery terminals? Did you remove the protective film from the supercharger inlet near the throttle body? What about the tape from the intake ports? Do you notice any fuel leaks? Check MAP and MAF connections and wiring loom for damage (pinched wires when you put the supercharger in). Check to make sure that the MAF/Map and throttle body extension harnesses are plugged in correctly Check the fuel injector wiring and connections. |

Going by my dad's good ol "FASC" (Fuel Air Spark Compression) and since your car is cranking and sometimes "catching" (by which I'm guessing you mean starting?) I'd check your fuel system first since you do mess around with that for the install: fuel lines, fuel rail, injectors, etc. |

I decided to sleep on it and get back at it today. I didn't want to get to the point where I'm frustrated enough with it to rush things. My initial thought is also fuel. I can hear the pump cycling at least.
I'm probably going to do resistance checks on the MAF/TMAP harness if I see nothing with fuel... I'd imagine that even with a screwy sensor or cable it would at least run for a second or so before dying, though. By catching, I guess I'm not sure how to describe it? It doesn't really fully fire up. It cranks a few times, then sounds as if it's about to start, but dies again before the RPM even get above 200-300. It's very immediate. I did check all of the obvious stuff up top and this was a straightforward install and the tune is through Moto East... the only other power mods I have are full exhaust.

Ideally, my hopes of being able to complete an install of this solo within a weekend seems to be fading. |

Well, solid work I spent maybe 12 hours on it, most of it solo. I think I'm the exception as far as clean installs.

Hmm. Still no closer. Verified hose locations with good light this time. MAF, TMAP, TB, 4 injectors, high pressure fuel pump, evap solenoid all plugged in. Double checked the fuel pump fuse with a multimeter, still no DTCs active.
Did I maybe not prime fuel correctly? Basically as soon as I finished, I ran a long "On" to let the water pump cycle through the S/C coolant with the spill free funnel attached. After the water pump stabilized, I pulled the funnel, ran about 5-6 On/Off cycles to let the fuel pump prime, then I tried to start it up so I could get some more fluid into the car's radiator, and here I am. I dunno... air filter? I'd imagine it would at least start and stumble. Last edited by Luftwaffel; 03-19-2016 at 02:12 PM. |
