INSTALLED TURBO, CAR WONT START - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Nightflo · 06-18-2018, 05:30 AM

Hey guys,

I need help. Installed my turbo kit (previously had JRSC kit) and once done, primed turbo and then turned it on. It idled perfectly and I did a datalog for 15min, AFR looked good 14.5-14.9. Revved it to 2k and it shut off on me. Motor turns but it doesn’t start anymore. Sent datalog to Delicious and they said everything looked good, revised and flashed new update and it still doesn’t turn on. I can force it to turn on by giving it gas as I crank it but then it idled terrible so I shut it off. I replaced spark plugs and put new gaskets on injectors while I installed turbo. Any ideas? Looked at turbo and it spins, checked injector gaskets and they’re good. NO codes come up. Please help.

JDL turbo kit
JR dual radiator
DW700cc Injectors
AEM 320lp Pump
DT FLEXFUEL MK1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll get the serious questions out of the way:

1. Is it plugged in?
2. Has the turbo been installed the right way round?
3. Do you have enough fuel in the tank?
4. Is throttle thingmabob connected and is the flappy thing flapping?

I hope the above helps.

Nope, none at all.

Any small vacuum hoses pop off under the intake manifold?

Doubt it, I clamped those before installing turbo. Delicious said my vacuum looks good but I’m probably going to take off the intake manifold off again to double check

bump for knowledge, I'm looking at this kit and want to know issues with it

JimmyMac · 06-18-2018, 12:17 PM

So does it run if you keep the throttle down but die after you let go and let it idle? Just curious because you said you can give it a little gas to get it to crank but dies when you let it idle.

More than likely, the issue isn’t with the kit, most probably with my car in specific. JDL is really understanding and patient, not to mention their kit is really good quality. If you do order one, be prepared to wait up to about 2-3 months.

It’ll stay on when I turn it on that way but it’ll idle so rough that it freaks me out so I shut it off. I don’t understand because the very first time I turned it on, it turned on normal and idled perfectly.

Ok, well one cause of that could be vacuum leak somewhere. Intake manifold... blowoff valve... intercooler hose loose... something. But it wouldn't surprise me if it was a fueling issue or loose connection somewhere. Usually though it would throw a code if you had a loose connection. Hmmm

JimmyMac · 06-18-2018, 12:36 PM

You didn't leave a rag or bag in the intercooler piping did you? hehe
